Simple Ken Podcast | EP 14 - Little Problems

The degree to which I am coming to rely on your non-podcasts for cheering up, sanity and simple human contact (plus the eye candy) is scaring me a little bit. Can’t we just go out for coffee? Here in Seattle, indoor dining at 25% is permitted. So we just drink a quarter of our coffee, it’s ok (with head waggle) ~ shar P.s. American Airlines direct non-stop Bangalore-Seattle, 13 hrs door to door. I made a cafe reservation so don’t stand me up ( stupid joke about stand-up vs standing one up is in my lips but I will not utter it)!

Hey people. How are yall doing?

In love with this "long recording of you talking ".thankyou for this ❤

I was listening to it in Spotify, just here so I could see his father . 😁

Wow..❤️❤️

#SimpleKen not a question just wanted to say that I was listening to this ep on spotify, but then your dad came and said hi, so I felt I gotta see this on youtube, worth it.

Your arms make me wanna marry you

The best moment in all the 21 Episodes of Simple Ken definitely has to be Kenny's Dad's 3 second appearance. It just made me smile. Lots of love, Cy.

first time listener. absolutely loved it. i love the bill burr and theo von's way of doing podcasts.

I came from Spotify to MRblock just so I could see your dad 😅

I love this i dnt know why but yes its noice

#simpleken #SimpleKen How do you deal with self doubt and constant criticism from one’s own self. It’s so frustrating because you wanna do what your best at and not care about what anyone says BUT at the same time your mind keeps telling you you’re not best at it. How do you trust your self and differentiate constructive criticism and self hate from oneself.

That Suitcase Episode of Dudse was so Hilarious that my family thought i am having an attack cause my breath was stuck for some seconds because of laughing so hard!

No one: My brain:u should be listening to the other sound blaring from the Google meet..... Me:But I wanna hear Kenny..... 😭 Btw.....Kenny continue ur long talks...❤️👍🏻💯

I want this song to be my caller tune.!

Arey ye toh podcast hai.

Why the length of Your Long Recording is reduced, Dear? Not expecting You to get pressurized by our eagerness to see You, take Your time just wanted to say that those extra 15 mins made me feel better! Lots of Love and Prayers for You and Your Family

Kenny: "People listening to the *podcast* obviously can't see my dad's face" Also Kenny: "podcast? I don't know what you're talking about"

Hey Kenny just wanted to sya that I initially heard this episode on Apple podcasts but I came back because after following you for years and knwoing how attached you are to your family, I wanted to see uncle. Silly I know...

#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! It has been a pleasure watching your podcasts. I had been pretty stressed about almost everything going around me. I decided to take up new challenges like cooking and painting. Whenever i cook or paint, i always put on Simple Ken. It is absolutely the best stress buster!!!! I would really like to appreciate you for all your efforts. Many people, i know, are getting relief by watching or just listening to you. Kudos!

You know thousand ways of doing it...now just 'Do IT!!!'

Hey kenny Love listening to ur long recordings on Spotify ❤️ My question is how do I avoid procrastination especially during the lockdown when everday at home makes me feel like I am on a holiday? P.s. loved ur Netflix special Kudos!!

I wish you would be marrying my elder sister so at least I would have you in family in some kind of relationship because it feels like staying around you.. Also because I am 20 and already in love with someone I wish of you marrying with my sister rather than me 🤭😂🤣... I just saw your treemarathon with tanmay bhatt... it was hilarious 😂...It's lovely to watch you ❤️

I've always watched simple Ken to see how u convey deep things by including jokes here and there and making the delivery subtle but this episode really helped me to get over my little problems.. Happy to be your fan.. Love your long recordings :)

Kenny, you so funny Like a bunny Sweet as honey Outside's rainy So make me curry And a drink that's fuzzy Cause I'm hungry And let's play rummy Along with your puppy Then I'll go study.....

Your take on having a career and following you pashion simultaneously is best suggestion. Loved you "long talks". Hope to hear it while going to work when all this is over.

I happened to observe you while listening to you. ..n I just realised you look really somewhat similar to CHANDLER from FRIENDS.

As a 17 year old who posts covers on instagram, i can assure you that there is no partiality towards us. It all depends on marketing and begging your friends to share ;)

Hi kenny.... I come from a orthodox family... And I'm gonna marry a guy whom I do not love... Though I was given an hour to talk to him to know him before saying yes or no... How am I to judge him in an hour! ... Then we started talking on phone.... Couldn't meet because of the pandemic... But his and my interests are way too different what should I do?

*Squeezes his eyes shut, turns his face away from the camera* The beautiful breeze....

*in the softest baby voice* Ahhhhh what was it, don't forget Ps why is innocence so attractive 😢💞

Awesummmm

Been listening to his 'long recordings of him talking' on Spotify and man, now I can't get work done without listening to it

kenny. how. how can you be so adorable!?

Hey Kenny, hope you are doing well, do give my regards to your mum and dad. I am 15 and my mom is 54. As you said in this recording, as parents are getting older we do have a fear of it. On my mom's 50th birthday I was scared of her death approaching and felt like i had very less time with her. But over the years, I have made peace with my fear and finally accepted the fact that she is gonna leave me some day. The problem is that my mum hasn't really accepted the fact that as she is stepping into her "second childhood" , at the same time, I am growing up as well. Anything I do unusual (not serious shit like smoke and drinks), she takes it as if I am on cloud 9 and behaving as an adult. How do I explain it to her that i am not under 12 anymore and that I am not a prefect daughter like the neighbour's kid. #simpleken

Hi Kenny! Love the long recordings of you talking, great stuff! My questions are: You have made it quite big in your choice of profession- In this journey, what are the 3 things/moments/decisions according to you that really defined and shaped your journey till here? Would love to hear your story, there's a lot to learn from you in this close knit community. On similar lines, what are the 3 things that you continue doing that mould your outlook, thoughts, creative juices, etc amongst other things? For ex. Reading, Watching movies, listening to long recordings of other people talking ;) Do you also sometimes pause and analyze your thoughts and their origin- why and what led you to thinking a certain way? If yes, can you share any experiences? For ex. My friend once passed comments stereotyping an entire community in general for their religious practices, and It made me think why do I not see it the same way. Upon introspection, I realized my upbringing has been based on labels such as character, values, choices, etc rather than religion, caste, region. This was a good moment of realization also making me aware I could also be influenced wrongly about other matters and I need to be critical about my thoughts more often than usual. Lots of love!

Hey Kenny, The long recording of you talking is one of the things which kept me sane during the pandemic. Hope your dad is doing good and is healthy! Getting to my question, I enjoy getting into conversations with people and I don’t know where to put a stop. I just started working (professionally) and now I have a dilemma! When I meet new people at work should I talk to them like I always do or should I just behave like an introvert? The problem is I don’t know how to behave between both ends of those spectrums. I can either talk a lot and be friendly or I will totally be silent and come off as an arrogant person! Would like to know your reaction and not an advice because this show isn’t about advice! Love 💕

Your website is not working!

Nobody: Not a Single soul: Bangalore people : 3:59

You know what ....jab bhi I am watching you ....like these episodes ..chai time and all Always think why Kapil Sharma show is popular ....like no comparison man your level is Very high ...no one can beat you...you don't believe chai time toh repeatedly I am watching ...mere sham ki chai Aapka chai time k Bina is incomplete

Kenny, This is from a fellow KV alumni*, who has recently discovered that she isn't alone in all her extremities and in the most complicated and messed up thought process. I had been following your stand up ever since you started, but Simpleken changed everything. At 25 when I have given up on people in general and my conversations are anything but personal. I can talk about philosophy, parenting, evolution or trade treaties but not about how I feel. I worked in a corporate environment for 2 years only to be able to afford Travel and Therapy! Now that all the random information about me is done; Listening to you talk most of the times is like me talking to me (you know how in movies this inner self appears a tiny physical person and talks to oneself, ya something like that) Specially Episode 3 - Processing Pain and the one with Biswa. I could yell "where have these people been all my life". When you spoke about depression, guilt, school system etc in Processing Pain, to say it was relatable would be an understatement. I just couldn't help but want to write to you. I think there are a lot of people to ask you questions but I am here to THANK YOU, for Simpleken and well in general for being you. P.S. - Apologies for this being unrelated to the episode, I enjoyed this as well as always. *Alumni - Apparently this is for male plural and female singular happens to be 'alumna'.

Nice information

i hope your dad is doing well and my best wishes are with you and your family....you never fail to make us smile and i love you for that....pls give it a like because it gives me assurance that you have read the comment....may god bless you and keep entertaining us...stay safe kenny!!

That’s a nice house! And glad to hear all ok at home. Love simple ken, kudos to you for managing to keep your audience attention till the very end:)

Your awesome kenny Sebastian

Dear kenny, How can I help my friend who has depression?(ps:- I am very awkward and it sucks)

I hope u sanitized the mic nd used it...

When you said Stephen Hawking my heart skipped a beat!

When you said Stephen Hawking my heart skipped a beat!

i just consulted a doctor cuz everytime i see you i feel to subscribe ur channel and its always that that i have already subscribed but want to suscribe again every video so i unsubscribe and then subscribe again i live in a joint family and have subscribed ur channel from 12 accounts so yes a die hard fan die hard fan a die hard fan

Hey Kenny, You have proved that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication ✨✨ Lots of loveee

He Literally Took 20 Minutes, Kenny you're a great son.

It's a Green shade net my father works with the manufacturer of it sunpack which is in rajapalayam.... I know I doesn't mean anything, but just crazy about you so wanted to connect with u some how.. love you kenny

Literally missed the regular TATA bye-bye!!

#simpleken My question Is that whether it wud hurt more if you lost a dear person when u recently had a wonderful memory with them or when u had a completely irrationally bad memory with them during the current event . Would the guilt hurt more or the glee .btw love the long recording of u talking . Ps. Cool cameo

I love the jokes and observations are very clever, but real question I wanna ask is that are you aware of the massive following you have? Young People look up to you. So my question to you, Kenneth Sebastian, is when are you going to talk about the issues the real issues Social Political issues, Religious Issues? Issues? Tisssssssueeeesss?

Hi Kenny. Just saw your 13th episode which you ended with 13 being an omen about bad luck and you not believing in the same. Obviously even though tensed moments with your dad your views certainly won't have changed. But many of our parents generation are still quite religious/superstitious. How do you feel about the way our (20s) generation currently deals with this topic and what do you feel - good or bad - about the way we deal with our parents following their beliefs?

anshika chutan from kenny's mouth is really funny

#simpleken Heyy Kenny....I loved the long recording of u talking.... My question-what are ur views on nepotism?...do you think ur life would have been easier if one of ur parents were in the same profession as yours?

Hi Kenny, these "long recordings' are great. I never comment on youtube vids but felt compelled to beg you to keep this going for as long as possible. 😀😀

Kenny, commenting from my mom's account. You said you feel we wouldn't be the same after the pandemic. I too feel we're going to be different but in the way that I feel most of the late teenage(I'm 15) and millenials are going to be stressed and coming decade will be a mess for us but I do feel the 40+ gen is not going to affected mentally like stress,etc but will have behavioural changes like don't eat outside food, maintain hygiene,etc, like they are always "then this pandemic struck, but I was strong enough to get through it" way. I'm excited tho to see the world after this. Can you please talk about about why and how you think the world's going to be. Plz.

#simpleken Hey Kenny, I was just watching some standup and i was wondering, do standup comedians have to be good actors or purposefully bad actors to make the joke work?

Kenny- Was sad when Indian Match Making came to an end. Me- Was sad when this episode came to an end. :'( Ps: Love these awesome recordings of you talking. ❤️ Take care of yourself & your family.️(^^) Stay safe & Stay Simple. ;)

30:28 I wish it stays 1 year thing and doesn't become a 2 year thing.

#simpleken Heyy kenny First off , you are one really really really nice human being , and one hell of a comedian ..... secondly a huge fan , like a really really big fan.... Soo honestly I have no questions , I simply felt like saying hi and acknowledging the fact that you are doing a great job , making yourself feel better and in the process keeping so many of us comapany , like you once said talking/communicating is an art and you are an artist at it man .... keep doing what you do ... Lots and lots of love and hugs .... Take care ..

Very nice

Listened to your first long recording once again. After listening I could add the missing parts of it in my Brain. Also listened to you say that you read all the comments on every post. Hoping you will read this one and the few mails sent. Reading this book atomic habits. Recommended read. If you get a chance to go through it, please review in your long recording. Lots of love

Hey Ken I hope you are fine and your dad is in good health 🙏. I am a Dentist and I needed a reason to smile in this pandemic . Yes I like spreading smile but I want others to do for me as well. A great thumbs up for what you are doing. So I was preparing for neet mds and I was going through your videos I came accross this show on " cc: the living room". So that five years question came up 😂.Where do you see yourself today ?

11 and 12 computer science 😆😆

Hey Kenny, After lockdown started, I stumbled upon graphic designing and digital art. And now I'm in love with it. I was never even remotely drawn to design before, but now, I think it's become a passion. I've spent the past few months learning(giving up a few times) and growing my skills. But now I'm at a point where I want to design new stuff, but I can't seem to think of anything. Like for example, if I wanted to make a movie poster and I couldn't move away from what other artists have created. I feel like I'm just stealing parts from other artists and putting it together in a way I like. This is really killing my motivation cos every time I design something I put something else I saw into it. And I feel like that's not my original thought or something I can claim as my own. Is this normal in the design field(or in any field concerned with creating something, like music, comedy or other arts)? I would LOVE to hear your opinion on this. Wishing health to your Achan. Lots of love and respect.

#simple ken Hey kenny nice to see u back on these podcasts . I cant really enjoy comedy because no matter how skillfully u guys bubble rap the facts or make it palatable those are still harsh truths that are happening around us and i drift apart thinking how more fucked up can we get its just makes me sad ; do u feel the same way .

Hey kenny, My question, how did you get into music ? Which artists influenced you the most? Was there a time when you wanted to pursue a career in music before doing comedy? Also, which is your favourite genre of music? Always been a fan of your music! Been enjoying #simpleken since the first episode! Keep going👍! Lots of love to you and your family 💕

My mom and a few friends tell me the same thing that you said.. to succeed in what I do, I have to learn to market myself, editing, photography, etc., basically, a lot of things that I do not enjoy doing. I always get irritated that why do I have to do the other things, I just want to do what I like doing and what I am good at. But, I don't know why when you said it, it just made more sense to me(probably because you are also from an artistic field so for this I believe you more). Just wanted to say thanks and lots of love to you. Stay safe and healthy. Enjoy your time home.

#simpleken Kenneth Mathew Sebastian, you are literally a blessing to my life. I'm going into Year 10, and I feel like emotionally I've gone through things beyond what I should be thinking. I don't really want to go into why because that's too much for me to think about again, but your random yet interesting insights are like a window of light in a dark, closed room. I hope you and your family are all safe, because that's so important. And I need to hear more jokes. To my question, I live in the UK and cases are slowly rising, but the government is intent on sending children to school by the beginning of September (when we usually open). There was some fiasco about exam grades and medical officials and leaders are being highlighted a lot in the media for their 'incompetence'. I completely understand why people will think this way, but I think they're being pressured too much and this is having an impact on future decisions. Just wanted to know your opinion, because that matters. Whether you use this or not, thanks, Asznee

Much needed:")

Hey kenny, love you content. I'm so glad my friend recommended this and now I can tell a lot about a person after asking thier opinion about this recording of you talking. Anyway I just wanted to ask you about how much sports is an important part of person's life growing up and also how people assume how you are either athletic or artistic and how there are not many people who have been successful in both simultaneously. Also how were you at sports growing up and what did you like ? And thoughts about cricket and your favourite cricketer. #simpleken #simplekenpodcast

Hi Kenny (and others), if you want to know why you REALLY, REALLY need butt hair, I recommend going through this Reddit link: www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/2bysld/tifu_by_shaving_my_ass_hair/ Butthair is like salt in a dish. You don't give it any importance if it's in the right proportion, but not having it will definitely, definitely ruin your day.

Stay safe. Take care of yourself and family. Stay calm. ❤️ With all the best wishes and love to you, Kenny. Have loved your work.❤️❤️

Thank you

Hey Kenny, I've never commented on any youtube video but here it is, as your "simple ken" actually helped and supported me throughout the lockdown phase as I'm in Canada. I used to walk home from work as buses stopped due to COVID but I anyway had to go to work. Your recordings gave me company and luckily my distance from work-home got shortened. Thank you so much for giving me your company in my not so good phase. You are doing a great thing. Take care

It's almost funny how much we all enjoy one man speaking for 30 minutes straight and yet we never get bored, such refreshing views with subtle humor, this guy's definitely on other level❤

5:14 , Kenny having a Disney princess day !!!! 😂😂

i already heard this podcast or whatev on spotify, only hear to see your dad xoxo

When did u meet bill burr?

#simpleken Hey Kenny, I'm curious to know that if you call your guy friends "macha", then what is the female version of this? Just a curious north Indian! SIMPLE KEN is amazing! should never end!! :)

Hi Kenny!😀. It's Jyotika this side. Hope you are well and your dad is doing fine after his surgery.God bless! 🤍 I love your "long recording of you talking". It helped me to see things in a clear way and with other perspectives, and I'll be always grateful to you for that. Btw, I recently watched your series "die trying". It was nice👍💯 So, question 1. Since you talked about girls getting a benefit over social platforms, so Kenny, share us your diary if you were born as a girl. Also, tell us what you probably think How things would have changed for you, what would you have choosed to be, what problems you would have faced, some decisions you wouldn't have made as you did now being a man and your name, if you were a woman. Question 2. (Not a question exactly😅 but I felt like sharing this and wanted your opinion on this) I love writing quotes, shayaris etc. Also I'm writing a novel " I had the bag of fifteen fingers" (I'm not an author or something. It's my first time. Wish me luck for that!) So, this other day, I put up a oneliner challenge on instagram- that I'll make oneliners on the random words people would dm me. Honestly speaking there were few amazing suggestions like haircut medimex soap, toilet, ac, biryani, Mumbai taxi drivers etc which made the challenge tough for me (and that's what the intention was) and enjoyable but more them was just poeple asking me to make oneliners about them, like from their names, like Jo..make a oneliner from Riya, Sagar, or else they used to get upset when I didn't choosed their words. I ended up creating oneliners based on those suggestions and they were not-so-bad. I got appreciations. But, all of this lead me to feel pressure bout satisfying my audience by creating content "only what they wanted to see. " They felt happy seeing their names/suggestion those in oneliners whereas I felt like nobody really cared bout my creativity, my capacity! I had this thing called " I could have been more" in me, but I left this feeling to die inside me!! Ever happened to you Kenny, like where you had to cut a joke from your set because the audience didn't appreciated it but you felt it was really awsmm !? Sry, for making it this loonngg!🥺 But would appreciate if you shared your view on it. THANKS!😁 #simpleken

Hey Kenny, so I was watching this long recording of you talking, and my mom passed by and said "This boy looks really nice." So i guess the workout cloths aren't a problem.😂😂😂 #simpleken

Hey kenny if ur reading this, please smile. Don't feel sad about shitty hate comments. If reading this could make u smile, it would make my day :")

Kenny Sebastian, the solution daddy!!!😂😂

I loved the part when you father came and said "hii" ... I hope he is okay now .. Much love to you and him

OMG HE PICKED MY QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS KENNY

#simple ken Not a question but it's request can u plz sing a song

Hi Kenny, Wow, I have just caught up with all your long recordings! What glorious jharu pocha I did while listening to you and cracking up while my sister confirmed that I have fully gone mad in this lockdown. Wanted to ask a few questions but decided against it because it's too personal and too serious. Waiting for your next episode where you would hopefully read this out? who knows? Anyway, what you said about parents growing old really struck me given the circumstances I am in, that its true, other problems do seem small and more manageable once you realise the most important things that truly matters to you. Oh! Oh! Please do a melodious voice recording of another John Mayer song if you can! Love them. Love your not-giving-advices and of course loved your special on Netflix! Pigeons are hilarious . xD Take care. Bye!

23:01 is the most important thing in this long recording of him speaking important stuff.... He sneezes!!! 😉

mrblock.info/to/xJvPjKaq1ZyDuns/vhi-i He looks like you

#simpleken Hi Kenny, You were my introduction to comedy. ❤️ I sometimes feel it would have been better to be as close knit community as wizards of Harry Potter universe. So many opinions, so much chaos and excessive knowledge around us does make me question, was our evolution and expansion even worth it ?
