The GOOD LISTENER part was so true!!!! ( Watched these podcasts back to back and man they are amazing) thank you💚

Have glass, to drink water

The whole talk about being a good listener was so perfect. Your perspective over things is really amazing. Don't stop this "long recording of you talking" ever.

Most sensible person came across recently ! Kudos Ken! Much love

Hi Kenny. It's quite interesting to see one stand up comedian talking about this topic ' motivation', and serving reality of it rather than a preach preach kind of thing. It's so human to feel emotions, to be unmotivated, to have mix of everything be it positive and negative emotions. Nice to get such perspective :) & I must say you are a deep thinker , a real hero (atleast for me) . What are your views about getting jitters. Do you get jitters before going to stage or once you upload new video? Love & light 💕✨ Vidya

Amazing episode....😀😀 Thanks kenny Loved it.

I always wondered how are comedians off stage? Kenny speaking is a therapy :)) Felt really nice , all 40 mins worth it!

I have just started watching your videos and I love them . They are so inspiring and with a lot of positivity 😊

I'm here just to increase male representation in the comments.

Me: searching 'How to be consistent ?' My mom:

Hey kenny, i dont even know how to tell you how grateful i am to u for this podcast. this is surely the one thing which has got me through the quarantine so thank you and man you are just fabulous please dont end these long recordings, its so calming to listen u talk abt things and man ur perspective is just amazing i mean unlike other people on social media u feel more human and sane to me cause u aren't always hyping anyone up you are simply so relatable and easy to listen to. Thanks a lottt , u deserve all the happiness and prosperity in the world, have a nice day:))

There are so so so many times when I feel hey I think in the same way but I m never good with my words so I can't explain it to others ...so I feel like ohh daammn had it been only this part I would have shared it with everyone and tell them that see see this is what I wanted you to understand 🤭🤭

I had Good Timeeeeee 🙃

So much wisdom really loving these recordings ✨❣️

I hateee to say this , I love listening to simple ken cos it makes so much more sense than listening to any godman but b4 i cud reach even half of it, I doze off !!!! ur voice is so soothing, It's like a sleep asmr.. this is the next best thing to mum's lap ,to cure insomnia !!! I have so many stuffs to ask but dunno if t wud ever reach ya ... Can I try one for now ... A more tricky one ...y r girls made to leave there maternal house after marriage and y nt boys wen they r bought up the same way ?doesn't a girl's parents deserve to b taken care of as much as the guy's?shud they b left alone to fend for themselves ?

Is that a brain next to the mic? 3:32

Man are u really that good .. Give this man a M.P or MLA ticket . Good man thinking about people

#simpleken Talk to me Kenny I'm interesting 😂

lmao i have the same water bottle

Hi Kenny! I had a huge crush on you and now I have a huge respect for youu thanks to this long recording of you talking 💘 I would really like to know how have you dealt/deal with friends who were very self obsessed and manipulative. But they are also nice to you. I tend to make a distance from them but then later regret as well as they were nice too. #SimpleKen

Hello Kenny, hearing and watching you in the podcast is really a treat! Few times I heard you talking about Jim Carry and being a Big Jim's fan myself, would really like to know your journey of knowing, liking, admiring and eventually considering him too much (please excuse me if I misunderstood that you think he's too eccentric). Just talk about Jim Carry, Please. #simpleken

please do simply nailogical aka cristine, both of you have very knowledgeable opinions and its really cool

I don't know if it's true or not but I feel like simple ken talks are giving you also some clarity on things as you talk and think about things that people ask you. Love these conversations and listening to you talk. :) what you spoke about consistency was really something I have been hearing a lot from my educators and I feel that's really what makes a difference in anything we do in life.

👏🏼 ♥

Too serious talk. Different side of Kenny.

Hey kenny hv been started watching your podcast and i noticed one thing that whatever you say it becomes true like the corona virus thing in 5 th episode and then the Jet Airways thing . Isn't it crazy.? #simpleken

Loved this one too🤩

Family ❤️

Rebal D

☺☺☺🌼🌼

At 23:07 you look like Ranveer (Beerbiceps) Ohhh what a coincidence 23/07 is my birthday Lol

Hi Kenny , one question that I feel most of us might have after the lockdown, nowadays , since most of us use DMs and Personal messaging more than actual face to face discussion , is it right for us to judge the person's tone / emotion while they were typing the message / when they sent it . Part (II) if we can , then how do we do so effectively ? Great "long recording of you talking" xD

#simpleken Kenny!! Completely random and crazy, but what are your thoughts on over-population? I've heard you mention about having children maaaaanny times, don't you think options like adoption are much more sensible and better in general? Of course, not having children works too ;) XD

he looks like Ranveer Allahbadhia's older brother

can you call Vishnu Kaushal? I think you both will bond really well and it would be a fun episode

Kennyyyy. Such nice thoughts, loved this one :) I really hope I can see you live sometime soon when it's safer!

When do we get to see stand ups again?

Warning: the question is super meta. As we grow older, we all (hopefully) start to learn about how we think and how our brains function. What is one thing/lesson you have discovered about your thought process or meta-cognition, and how has it helped you better yourself? I feel like the pandemic has been such a bad situation for people mentally, and learning more about yourself and your thoughts is so beneficial for self-growth. #simpleken

#simpleken What are your observations/thoughts about change in a person's empathy and thoughtfulness through different stages in their life (as a kid, then a teenager and so on..) I completed my school life about two years ago and I hated it when disrespecting teachers and bullying someone was considered 'cool'. What are your thoughts about this culture amongst young people and how can it be improved?

Kenny: You won't get entertainment here Me after 9 hours of online classes: Well, it's refreshing.

you are getting fat

#Simpleken Lots of Love and strength to you and your work. Look I don't hate animals but it does not mean I have to love them right? I am more scared of them, I don't know but it is really very hard for other people to digest it. I mean is it really that wrong?

#simpken Hey Kenny, Love this long recording of you talking. I watch this show and listen to this same version on Spotify as well, RELIGIOUSLY. Your welcome. 😎 I don't know if you'll take this up but I hope you do. I'm a 20 year old, have a normal life very grateful for that but I think that this quarantine period has made me turn an extrovert to an introvert. I did standup before, in school, was very confident, took constructive criticism really well but this 8 months of isolation has made me crazy. My dad tested positive for covid and were all worried, people called me to check up on me and my family but I used to ignore (lack of a better word) this to a certain extent because I thought they would judge me or call me out or anything. And I've lost many people in my life, lost some really good friends because I don't tell them often how I feel, which is absurd but ok. I've been bitter to everybody I think. I don't know why I know you'll judge and say something really stupid but ok, I guess I deserve it. I try to be all jolly and happy but it's hard to pretend everytime that your fine you know? Basically the question is do you think caring about other's opinions should be ok to a certain extent or should I just let it all go. Hope to get a positive answer from you ❤

Talk about Karuna Agarwal 😉 #simpleken

If possible can you do a Podcast with Anup K R

Hi Kenny, I would request you to have a podcast with @smritimandhana- Indian cricketer. Apart from what people follow her for ie. her looks and cricket, she's also an business woman. She runs a cafe too in Maharashtra. So it would be really great for you to have a chat with her on her off cricket passions and work. #simpleken

Hey Kenny... U asked to suggest someone who would be interesting to talk to... I suggest this artist called Kesh... He also has an amazing long recording of him talking and it would be epic to see ur both personalities coming together

Hello Kenny ,Very nice of you doing such a show in the lockdown,I have no question as of now as I didn't know this tradition exists,next episode pakka question for you,if you really want one,I'm going to college and how to make new friends there,some basic advice on that please.

#simpleken @CalebCity !

Tom Scott is an OG youtuber who's freaking amazing!!!

Only way i feel motivated to get up and move to my desk to work and listen to this podcast. Yaay! You are back

Hey Kenny...akshata this side. It's a request,can you stop using vulgar words in your jokes?? I love your jokes,quirky observations, simple Ken, songs, and everything but that irritates me a lot especially when it's related to mother and sister. I don't think using such words means being liberal or progressive(my opinion,not an advice). Maybe you'll call me a backward shit. But just requested as a fan. :)love you lots.

Wish I was a little more older so I could marry Kenny..

7:00. that's so cool. Either way you are you, so live with that! :)

I think in this pandemic, everything is on a negative growth, barring kenny's forearms. Btw, great episode of the podca..I mean of the long recording of you speaking. Just a quick question..do you meditate? If yes, then what kind of meditation do you practice..and have you genuinely felt any change in your life/mind since you've started doing it. Also, Since I know you're reading this 😅..we don't mind if you post an episode daily or like once a month..just do it when you feel like it and not just for the sake of doing it. Just stay happy, we love you more than just a video ❤️ #simpleKen

Thanks for spending 2 hours...to come up with this episode. Can you do an episode with chetan Bhagat.

Love this video, keep going 💞

#simpleken Hey Kenny, loving the recordings of you talking! In this podcast, at one point you said that, if a person is anxious or short tempered in his youth, the intensity of it decreases once they reach old age, but nevertheless continue to be the same person. Do you think that taking help of spiritual means (yoga or meditation) in their youth, could actually change them for the greater good? Or do you have any friends who took help of spirituality to make themselves better?

Oh my god.. this started 14feb 2020? All of your old videos ratta mar marke yaar textbook se zyada yaad hai ab aur youtube is showing recommendation now, man! Kenny this isn't working so successfully like you've said simple ken family is so short. The average view rate is low. Then what keeps you going on with simple ken? 18 episodes now! Will it be like 100 episode? What's ur future plan for simple ken podcast?

#simpleken Hey Kenny, my kidnappers returned me home safely. Thank you for the shout out. Could you bring in Bhagya Babu, the Awkwerrrd illustrator working with you on Ken and Chip? It would be really cool to know more about the collaboration. Lroyt really makes my day. Thank you 💙

Curious to hear your thoughts on self-awareness? Do you think it’s truly possible for someone to know and live by the purest form of their personality and values, without having to put on a persona of someone else? Especially of someone they made up in their head of who they think the world perceives them to be or ought to be. #simpleken Really enjoy these recording, btw... gives us a glimpse of your grounded side :)

Can you do an episode with Rega Jha?

#SimpleKen #SimpleKen Hey kenneth. this a my second question to u. hoping you’d reply cos love your advices. i live in spain. and my ‘kind- of’ boyfriend in india. we aren’t exactly dating but i don’t want to see him w any other giel and so does he prolly. the problem is the LONG DISTANCE 😹 the time difference isn’t that much but he takes so long to reply. he will reply after like 6-7 hours and pretend as if all’s cool and i am not angry at him. but i clearly am. all the time. Do you think long distance lasts or i should be in this relationship where he doesn’t give me time? anyways, love your long recording of u talkingggg

#SimpleKen Hey kenneth, i am karina and i live in spain. love your standups and “long recording of u talking”. i listen to it while i open a shop (student job) My question to u is, there are times when my parents criticise me. it has been often in the lockdown cos obviously 🤡 i went to budapest to study physio (they forced me) but then i quit a year later cus i didn’t want to. i’ve been trying to convince them to let me study fashion marketing but they don’t let me. is there any way you know that i can convince them? Also, i absolutelyyyyy your voice!!!!

you should talk to roughsweets 👽

Hey Kenny I am from Bangalore which is your favourite place to chill or hangout in Bangalore and why??

- To actually listen, you don't prepare answers instead you focus on finding more clarity or a detail you didn't understand. You aren't a "really good listener" if you say you are out loud like bruh not sometjing you boast about, it just naturally shows in your personality. - Stop expecting the reactions you want from other people, everyone's perspectives different when someone is having a bad day maybe You being a part of their day meant alot to them and hence they say it out loud and appreciate You. Sometimes when I haven't spoken to a friend because I genuinely struggle with being happy and I'm anxious more than happy at this age, I do feel like talking to a friend and feel indebted to them for just listening and making me feel good when they don't see it like that. And that's okay. You always make me take something (s) from an episode Kenny or it reminds me of certain people who are and aren't in my life & that's why I love it so much. I was with my 25 yo cousin sis for a week & (me being 20) I kept talking about how I feel really clueless about what path am I really taking in my career.. I don't have shit figured out.. What's my purpose... What makes me really happy... But your first job or second job isn't about it making you happy, you just have to accept that you need to be independent & on the side make lil efforts to make yourself happy in that "unhappy per say job environment" and my sis literally told me, "Bro chill, even I don't have things figured out. I haven't done anything great. ( to me she's super inspiring but then again everyone has their own perspectives- she's graduated from Cept travelled all over Europe, worked around and is a badass Graphic Designer - you can find her work on ig - orodhono) So just take each and everyday as it comes. Don't be so hard on yourself. You will find your thing." And I just hugged her and got emotional & felt really blessed to have her. #simpleken

LIKE MATE , STOP PROCRASTINATING 🙏❤️

Heheh the fact that he wore glasses, adjusted it & said Tata byebye love you ahh the lil things make me so happy. I feel really good and have been whenever you've uploaded a #simpleken episode since Ep 1. I love youu! I'll check out Community now.

I could REALLY REALLY connect to your concept of "actually listening". I haven't read any book or article or studies on it, but I have realized it on my own with age, with the experience of conversing with lots & lots of people. that is soooooo true that many of us stay mumm just to prepare an answer, while we are not really listening to the other person.

Hi kenny , do you start your conversation on simple Ken with a topic you want to talk about or you read our questions and then decide to talk on a topic

Kenny finally called it a podcast y'all

Who sung your inro song man is good 😄

Hi Kenny. This is Kalyani Bain. Commenting on MRblock is a new thing for me. But here I am. I just want to thank you. I am going through probably the most tough phase of my life personally. And your 'long recording of you talking' somehow has managed to help me. So thanks, man. ❤️❤️ I have been being a regular viewer of your contents for the past 25-30 days only( before that I only watched the one with Radhika Apte about a year ago). I think you are a great performer. Keep it up. I would like to know how you deal with self-doubt (both intellectual and emotional). What are the strategies that you find helpful?

Hey lovely ken Your dad would be the perfect guest 😍 #kennyfied #simpleKen #FilipinaFan

#simpleken, you know the most underrated person i know is chip your dog

The best thing about this long recordings is the genuine and heartfelt answers Kenny gives to the questions! I also get different perspectives on a topic. Thanks for these videos! #simpleken

Invite @prakhar ke pravachan mrblock.info/milk/HOKvQW2N4kLVhKYn2bvF7A

hey kenny really like this long recording of u talking, i thought u should call your mom as a guest, cause i watched the son of abish episode with you and radhika apte and the the story u told on that was the highlight of the show for me (I'm pretty sure you know which one). I guess all your simple ken audience would love to hear more stories like that, and also a mother and son talking over chai is very sweet (chai time reference: where you say 'yengane unda maa'). Really hope you read this :) Cheers

I wonder why I have started this podcast 🤣🤣🤣😁....Lol....

So true

This is what I love abt the podcast it feels just casually Talkin to my brodas

Talk to Dr. Ali Mattu he's a clinical psychologist and a youtuber (the psych show) :3

Why are you so simple 😂

Ye maagi or ye safe maagi 😅😅regular is hell so i m simple😅😅😅

When will u start ur lessons with vidit

Hii Kenny!!! I love your long recording of you talking and I absolutely enjoy every episode. Iam in a point in my life where Iam contradicting myself. You know the things I thought, the things I said and the Thing which Iam doing right now is not in harmony. When people do stuff I raise my voice and now that Iam doing I feel like I am in a circumstance which brought me here. I know there's no answer but 😭
