____________________________
Another week, another period of new living. I think we have reached peak “so-what-if-there-is-a-pandemic” phase. Cases are at an all time high, America is fighting for civil rights, We are wondering what the government is doing… With all of this, Seeking normalcy is why I recorded another #SimpleKen. I talk about finding the middle ground with your parents, the fascination with being disappointed with our idols and why are teachers paid so less?

You can Tweet/MRblock/ Instagram your questions/topics/queries discuss for the next week episode using the hashtag #simpleken.
Simple Ken is available on all major podcasts platforms for free including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Gaana and Soundcloud.

#simpleken Hey kenny it's your boi Aryan, hope you are having a great day reading comments. So I have ADHD(Attention-deficit )which is really getting in my way while working cause I show a immediate response to any stimulus of distraction affecting not just my work but also when someone is talking to me, where I expect for a immediate reply so I wanted to know your opinion on this matter.( And also your new videos comming up is not a distraction for me atleast🙂) Thanks for your opinion Luv ya!

Hi Kenny,I have been watching your long recording...in the 10 episode u mentioned u like to speak to moms hence the liberty of posting comments I m a mom to three adult kids .Firstly kudos to parents for having give u the freedom to choose your calling ...now thats actually what l would call privileged.If all parents are like that then may be suicides will come down.I like the mention of your dad and mom in your talks shows so much and respect. I have tried to be a cool mom though only my kids can authenticate how cool l have been. Secondly l appreciate that you are a sorted kid who can identify his flaws and shortcomings and take timely action. The suggestions u give are awesome. Keep up the good work. I had heard all comedians are good observers..u proved it right. God bless

Hey Kenny, love your work. I do have a question that has been boggling my mind for a long time. I'm a person who is not a part of social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Ticktock, etc. I do not feel the need to have a virtual identity in these platforms and I'm comfortable with my decision. But, the downfall is that I miss out a lot on this aspect with my friends. Do you think it is important for a person to be in all the popular social media platform and what do you think about the pressure the society puts on us to be a part of something you do not want to be? Not to be rude, I do not like the idea of sharing my life, opinions, ideas and such via social media. What is your opinion on it? What would you suggest me to do in this case?

#simpleken You're awesome. Just listening to you talk brings a smile to my face. (where else will a smile be at :P) ANYWAY, I noticed you didn't wear your earring (ear jewel?/ ear piercing) in this video. I wonder why. Also, I remember you had one superman earring as well, where you said you won't ever take it off. Just wondering, where has that gone? If it's too personal, oops. Love.

I'm following this thought process right now, where all the relations which are aren't raw I'm ignoring. I've turned off all my social media and my primary SIM also. Just family time, work and if I feel the need I call people saamnese. What do you think about that? Do you feel it's pointless? Is it good once I'm awhile to stop all points of contact to the external world even WhatsApp or basic calling and just be unreachable or a while?

Hey Kenny. Idk how put this into words but have you ever felt like a self centred person for focusing on your problems first. Because when I do that I feel guilty. Suppose you don't have a good day and someone close to you is going through some shit and when you hear about them you just be like "fuck! And here I was thinking I was going through shit". It feels like an endless loop to me. Like it's constantly oscillating between my own problems and supporting my homies when they are too going through shit. So like how do I not feel guilty for not giving someone as much support as they needed and expected you to give because I was busy working on myself? Well, your podcasts really help and the song was amazing! Good luck. Big fan. Hope for the best.

Hey kenny,I am studying in 12th grade and I am a big fan of yours🤗,so as this is my most important year to get into a good college I know I should study hard and I am trying my best but due to this lockdown period I am getting a little distracted and I am genuinely afraid about my future,like what if I don't get into a good college,so how should I deal with this feeling of constantly feeling low. #simpleken

#simpleken we usually tell people not to google about things related to health and mental state because it is pretty exaggerated. But have you ever wondered that what if the reason behind the doctors asking us to do various tests before he concludes is because even he doesn't know at times and have you ever wondered that what if the therapist doesn't have actual answer for the situation and actually googles and breaks down the same google results in a different way and we agree and accept it stay safe and stay healthy #simpleken

Hi Kenny Love this long recording thing you are doing and love your special even morree on netflix. Just wanted to know how would you explain to someone that they too can have room for new beliefs and ideas and it is okay to change your opinion over the course on something and not cling on to it. Idk if i have explained this properly but if do u get it then it would be really kind of you to answer☻ #SimpleKen

hey KEN(love u). This is Satvik, I am a 2nd year engineering student and currently working as an intern. I am good at my studies and all, but the thing that always keeps me burdened is that... I belong to middle class family and my first priority is to have a good paying initial job and relieve my parents from their financial concern on me. But this make me a lot insecure as everyone says that getting a good job is tough initially you have to slog ur ass to reach that point and all. And also I want to explore a lot of different stuff(like writing, music etc.) but this always pulls me back.

Thanks Kenny for answering the celebrity question!! It's been on my mind alot recently because of SSR suicide and all the people lashing out on actors/producers/directors on attending/not attending funeral, posting/not posting. My Instagram..fb feeds were flooded with all this negativity and it just somehow impacted my peace of mind, why do people care about their opinions so much and are just going so crazy. The whole situation is just too sad and i am not sure why am I even posting this entire comment. Does going on technology detox helps with all this? Thanks for doing this though!

Hey Kenny! Being both a musician and a comedian, do you think musicians have things easier because if they have a really good song, they can repeat it more times than a comedian can with a really good joke? So is the pressure of coming up with original content greater on a comedian? I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Really enjoy your podcasts btw! #simpleken

Now, I don't have one particular reason but neither am I unhappy. Does this mean I am missing out on life? Does it mean I am doing nothing worthwhile? #simpleken

#Simpleken Hey Kenny! Love your long recordings of talking and I really look forward to them every week. No amount of work pressure stops me from seeing your podcast once it drops. And you see that previous line is actually my problem...I have over time developed severe escapist tendencies that kick-in when I'm faced with challenges involving deadlines and pressure. Most times, I do successfully complete my work but sometimes I just give up. Even when I do get stuff done, I end up wasting an entire day for a work that actually just takes a few hours, but only took longer because it came with certain ambiguity, expectations & consequences. I really want to eradicate my escapist tendencies so that I can face my challenges better and live a balanced life...but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Would meditation help? Would talking to therapists help? I still dont know...and would be great if you can address this given you work in a high pressure field?

#Simpleken Hey Kenny! Love your long recordings of talking and I really look forward to them every week. No amount of work pressure stops me from seeing your podcast once it drops. It just recently struck me that this podcast has slowly morphed into a show such as Sadhguru's 'Youth and Truth', where millennials ask all sorts of questions. So was wondering did you ever see any of Sadhguru's videos and how did you find his explanations and reasoning. Given a chance, would you consider sitting down with him for a conversation?

I Love your show and all your standups online. I make sure never to miss any video that you have posted. These long conversations are such a feel good among all this hate spreading around. Theres so much of hatred going around nowdays. Every social media platform has become everyone's medium to give moral judgements and belittle people with their hateful judgements. People think that it is their duty to spew hate at a person or generalise a community as a whole and bad mouth them. They are so ignorant to their hypocrisies that they dont see everything is not black and white. Its unbearable seeing all this hate spreading against communities and people. What do you think about all this? Thank you😇

People fall for you if you feed is cool, and if not they dont care if you even exist. p.s- would love to see you do a sketch on a couple who started dating online and meeting for the first time after coming into a relationship. THAT'D BE SOME COOL STUFF love you :3

Heyy hope you’re doing well and staying safe. Following you on social media, we all know that you live and hangout quite a bit with your friends who are also from the same industry/profession. I’ll be honest, the reason I am going to ask you this question is because I do not have any friends from work they are all just acquaintances and I have never been able to share any achievements or discuss about my growth with many of them. I don’t know if this is about me, because I don’t want the other person to compare or feel bad. So I always keep quite and not share much about my career and job. Not that I am able to comfortably discuss about my professional life with my friends either because of the same reason. And this is because I kind of feel jealousy can jeopardise friendship. How do you handle this Kenny?#simpleken

The one thing that distinguishes your jokes from what others present is that you take up very subtle topics like chappals, or crow, pigeon, ostrich and dove or, waxing versus shaving; which is commendable because it gives the spectators certain perspective. How do you do ascertain that the joke remains entertaining even when it's something we come across regularly? #simpleken
