Hey Kenny.. this is coming from a 16 y/o.. due to the stress of boards I have been experiencing way more panic attacks and feeling a lot more lonely lately and sometimes I just needed someone to keep talking instead of expecting me to engage in conversation because I am usually very introverted.. your podcast has been helping me get through bad days and I really appreciate it.. thanks a lot!
have fun at school , do bit of everything . just focus on your 12th boards as it'll decide if you get any scholarship whatsoever . it'll take the stress off your parents by a lot.
you know the best part about these long recordings is that you see, 2 very sucessful people in their fields being authentic and super real and even accepting that their success doesn't mean that they are inevitably secure in their art. It gives us listeners a sense of calmness that even though we might feel uneasy over our present situations, it's okay, becuase insecurity over your art doesnt necessarily mean that you are bad at it, it just means that you are ready to improve and work more on it. Whenever I watch a simpleken episode, what i do see is that, artists who are at top of their game rn, in their truest form are simple people who enjoy the same things as us. And the best part about this feeling is that it gives me a sense of welcomeness and makes me realise that the people you look upto are at the end of the day wholesome people who are ready to welcome newbies into the game and give them their support. That is what I love about you guys. Thankyou for this feeling of calmness and welcomeness. Love this concept, keep it rolling!
I’m in my early 20s and I just love that there are such cool people like you on the Internet and I can just listen to you talking about important topics! Thanks for the podcast! 💝
51:25 Kenny says technology hasn't reached the point to see the drawings on the podcast. Technology also hasn't reached the point to see the drawings on your video. :P Anywhoo, enjoyed the banter between you two and the episode !
How impressive is it that Biswa answered Kenny's liberal arts questions so accurately at 4:50 ? #simpleken en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_education
Hi Kenny, (I don’t know if you will pick this question or not because you have already answered one of my question in your previous episodes, but I guess I will never know if I don’t try. So here goes nothing 😏) I liked the fact that you talked about, I guess the pros, of getting older. During my freshman year of college I learned this theory in our Developmental Psychology class, which is the one thing that has stayed with me after that class, called The Socioemotional selectivity theory, which is a life-span theory of motivation. The theory maintains that as time horizons shrink, as they typically do with age, people become increasingly selective, investing greater resources in emotionally meaningful goals and activities. Which also explain why my grandparents live life to the fullest 😌, they wear what they want, say what they want, while also trying to support their family and only spending time with people that they care about. Which is something that I actually find comfort in and I don’t mind getting older. I recently finished my Pre-Nursing degree and am waiting to get accepted into the nursing program that I like. Meanwhile I am also working full-time as an assistant manager, while also being a part-time student. I often find myself in situations where people around me make me think that I am focusing too much on money/work and that I am not ‘enjoying’ my life. Because they think that I should just take more days off and just act like a 20 year old, whatever that means. But, honestly as cringy as this may sound, but I really like working and being productive with my time. And I also find joy in spending more time with myself, like whenever I am painting, driving (while listening to old Bollywood music) or even when I workout (while listening to long-recording-of-you-talking). I think that is the time when I reflect on my day and find some clarity in my mind. That IS my ENJOYMENT. So my question is 🙋🏻♀️, Do you think that people can find peace/success in any stage of their lives? (Success in this case is very subjective to individuals) And when they do so, because of others they start to doubt their own definition of success? And if yes, have you ever faced this problem and have ever been doubtful about your life choices because of people around you didn’t agree that you have achieved your goal, that YOU set for yourself in the first place? Thank you and oh! say hi to Tracy for me 🙋🏻♀️. #simpleken
I loved the podcast a lot! But I watch quite a few comedians and I feel like this brought out the difference between collectivistic and individualistic societies. India (or Asia as a whole) cultivating the collectivistic mindset - and us growing up in that environment, has led us to believe that yea, we're built to start a family - which I think is great. From an individualistic view though, I feel like some would argue they don't want kids at all because they believe the complete opposite - that they weren't built to have a family and all that. They'd rather focus on themselves/their career etc. - this is because in the western culture (which is where people are raised in a more individualistic way), they're taught to live for themselves, so they don't feel the need to start a family. I just felt the need to write/point that out, the podcast was great to watch though!
Hi Kenny, I have been following Simple Ken since 2020. It has been lovely to follow you along your journey as a comedian, content creator, and now a podcaster! I really enjoy the format of your long recording. I especially enjoyed listening to today's questions, having thought about them often as I'm arriving at the beginning of my 30s! As soon as you mentioned that you and BIswa were going to start drawing, I had to switch from Spotify to youtube! It was certainly more fun to see you both draw and break down the questions that came in! Looking forward to more of Simple Ken! Appreciate all the content that you have made so far and am excited to listen in on more of your long recordings; they have kept me sane during the pandemic. Cheers!
Fun fact: the Van Gogh tragedy is a bit of a myth. Van Gogh didn’t actually die poor - he had already started to sell art, I think he was managing someone’s art gallery, too. His brother supported his asylum stay. So he wasn’t broke. But more than that, so totally enjoyed this rich conversation! Kompani kalam was such a great point. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Made my evening richer. Thanks you two!
@@Osaaamaaa lol! Not everyone who cries once in a while is depressed. We all have some hard days. And sorry to hurt you but Simple ken is therapy for a lot of us
Biswa just says things as they are... great ability to explain things too... the bit about artist not growing after they become famous and hence due to the lack of growth we as audience feel they are shitty was so awesome, even his take on success was too good. Also great work Kenny... love your work. Your discussion on the topic that a person should follow their dreams(in one of the earlier episodes) only when they start earning them the same amount as their current job was such a pragmatic answer. You didn't romanticise the popular follow your dreams stuff but gave everyone a practical realistic answer. That answer was an eye opener(even though I knew it inside) coming especially from an artist like you(I am an IT engineer btw with more than 10years of experience in the field... lol). Lots of love. When is your next standup in Mumbai happening? I have never seen you live and would love to do so... please if possible keep it on a weekend... Thanks
Hi Kenny, The reason why it is with comedians that their content reduces over time once they become famous is because when they were struggling, they could turn anything into comedy. Like struggle or lack of fame made them savage to make a joke out of everything. But now that they're famous, they're actually in a safe zone and in that zone the driving force that brought savagery or comedy has vanished all of a sudden!? Just a thought. It would be good if you could put some light on it.
Transcendental humor- what they went through they shared in the form of humor --- until they were doing that ... they were relatable to the people who shared the same safar too...... I guess ... any comedian CAN keep remaining to be a good one - as long as they're 'sharing' they're 'journey' be it of 'chai making' 😉 or anything .... and as you rightly said, it's them 'protecting their safe zone' and hence being stuck n limited to that - is what that, obviously, dis connects the cord they had built by the virtue of them sharing .. and hence they stop, for that while, being a comedian ..... But obviously all this is as transient as that comedian understanding that it is a comedian ..and .. has to keep sticking to that virtue ...
Hey Kenny! Always been a fan of you! Love your comedy! My question is Should there always be a purpose of life? Why can't we just be and do nothing and still be happy. Do some job, eat , watch and sleep. Is it mandatory to have goals in life? What if we are just cheating ourselves trying to imagine that there is always a mission to accomplish. I am a career oriented person but sometimes i feel all this is useless we are just chasing some imaginary goal that noone would care the moment we die.
I absolutely agree with Kenny’s definition of success…that’s how I see it 😂😂 ..it’s like asking yourself everyday, will the money keep flowing in even if I just sit around etc? so 🙌 Kenny!!
For me success is living a wholesome life, like whenever you feel you are lagging behind in an area of life, catch it right there and get to work, you deserve to be happy, self-fulfilled and enjoy a wholesome life. You can do a quarterly life analysis and take your time with it. :)
Thanks for your Simple Ken sessions, Kenny! The conversation flows and feels effortless for the listener, that I listen to you guys speak while working latenight (for university), and it makes me feel calm like I'm surrounded by my friends :)
I am generally not logged in to youtube, but i just logged in here to comment and tell you. Your success definition is exactly what i believe have all the Money so that you can be lazy and than No stress, No anxiety..yipeee
34:33 When kenny said by the time you must have dated many people....I was like ya sure sure(lying with myself so that I can feel better about myself😭)
#simpleken Hey Kenny ❤️ When I was a kid I wanted all the flash light and the frame but as I'm growing old I love the privacy I'm getting! My question for you is have you ever thought after getting famous that it would have been nice if you could do what you love and still not sacrifice your privacy and do you think we can attain both privacy and fame? At some point people would demand to know what is going on in a famous person personal life! My second question is how does it feel like financial better off and how has it changed you standard of living drasticly? Thank you for making such a amazing show! Ps it would be my dream to meet you! Sending love and light ✨❤️
Missing maths aadmi... 🥺 nice to see you both, Kenny and Biswa!! Married men in the room wooo, congrats all around! Loved this episode. I listened first with audio-only and now ofc I need to come full circle and watch the video version hahah. Much love 💖
Hey Kenny, thank you for doing Simple Ken - especially the episodes where you bring guests. Love the conversations. I have a question regarding how you or artists who do well enough to earn a living doing art view their careers. I have a career in technology and while it pays well, I find most people around me do their tech jobs because it provides them money and their plan is usually to work really hard for 2 decades and retire early and maybe do something they like doing at that point, with no worry about earning a living from it. Since you already love what you do for a living, would you ever stop doing it? Or would you downscale at some point? Thank you and I hope I get to see you perform live some day! I would also pay to see a Simple Ken taped live :D Cheers, Guru
#SimpleKen - Hey Kenny, I’ve been binge listening to long recording of you talking. It’s soothing to hear some deep insights on topics. In one of the video, you mentioned how diversified group you’ve grown up and how most of the kids were bilingual or trilingual. My question for you is what to do you think of giving importance in learning your mother tongue. As a 28 year old guy, brought up in Mumbai, I feel like whenever my relatives say some typical Gujarati word or saying, I become clueless. I feel idiot.
I liked that drawing thing, I think it'd be nice if there was a tradition that every time a guest joins, they'd have to participate in either drawing or something competitive and at the end of the year you have a leaderboard for simpleken guests.
I've just started hearing the "long recordings of u talking" on spotify, I'm in ep 5... And I love it so much, and it's great to hear a person think 70% like me and now ik I'm not crazy. Some of it is like hearing myself, which feels super cool n awsm. You're cool. and I chumma commented in Ep 31, which I'll reach soon. And Congratulations to you n Tracy too ❤️ Happy married life. Luv y'all
so happy to see u guys together... really waiting for another comicstaan. seeing u all funny people together and being friends makes me feel like i have good friends..🤪🤪 thats so weird..
Hey kenny, I am an strictly audio listener of simpleken. But I just broke the rule and watched the video version for the first time ever just to see yours and Biswa’s drawings. And they were out of focus.. can you please put those up on Instagram.. don’t play with our feelings like this..
Just want to say, there was no point dissing about audio format saying you cant view the drawing, cause ironically the drawings weren't visible in video format as well. nevertheless, the episode was cool AF! need more episodes ft Biswa
Whoa! Very insightful chat, esp the bit about defining success. I used to wonder how people watch such lengthy podcasts... I get it now, pretty interesting! just finished watching a whole episode, will go catch up with the remaining episodes Side note, loved Biswa's modern way of expressing without facial expressions - "cringe* 😂😄😄😄
As per my observations I feel the worst thing to happen to our generation is something which is extremely basic, something that has been triggered by our own intellect or hyper active senses which do not have a pre fitted filter. That something is overthinking. I feel even health is over rated because it's not about being fit or looking fit, it's actually about feeling fit even with the fat. The number of people unfit by industry standards seem to outlive those who are considered super fit. The medical system is designed to scare people to ultimately turn them into life long customers. People say they're going to adopt a healthy lifestyle by eating the right food but what about the food for the brain? The brain needs you to stop overthinking or a filter, that's the root prescription. There's absolutely nothing to be scared about in this world except your own thoughts. Thoughts are like the software which which design your hardware. So if you run too many unnecessary apps on your software, then it's more likely to slow down, overheat and possibly even attract malware which may force the system to shut down. So the best thing to do is not to overcomplicate life with overthinking, just keep it basic but ironically nowadays it's one of the hardest things to do with the constant influx of information and the feeling of being left out. The easiest way to close those unwanted apps in the brain is to focus on a plant which is one of the most complex piece of technology existing abundantly around us yet we are fascinated by the phone or laptop that we own or the next new piece of tech. We think we are the smartest beings in the planet right now but it's just an illusion, our senses trick us into believing that.
I recently started watching Simpleken even though I have been following Kenny from long time. I find them interesting and while listening I started thinking about the topic or particular conversation and brainstorm or re think about my thoughts on it, I have to re wind and see the video again 😅
#simpleken It's lovely to hear a long record of you talking.. Congrats on the marriage.. My Question is.. Have you ever dated a bipolar person in general? If so.. What is your take on dating them.. and in long run marrying the person.. P.S : Hope you would pick my question.. Either way cheers for giving laughs every now and then..
#simpleken Hey kenny ! Your long recordings are the best thing ever... Thanks for doing what you're doing man. I wanted to ask , did you ever feel like you'll never find love ? How did you overcome the feeling of emptiness that sometimes engulfs us when we have been alone for quite sometime. I have had my share of very terrible dating choices out of fomo when i clearly knew it wouldn't work out but i wanted to give it a try bc what if it was last chance at love. Do you feel like love comes to you or you need to make efforts to find. This whole thing drives me crazy idk how to deal w the thought of never finding someone. Thanks for reading. Please keep these recordings coming. Ilysm ❤️🌻
Adding to the point at 27:00 , for Comedians the corporates are main source of income till they make it big, for Bollywood the big budget event films finance the multi-screen type movies. Or as SRK says 'Gurbat mein creativity nahi hoti'
#simpleken Hey Kenny, so this is a clichè question, but then, it's important for me. I'm a doctor, MBBS, completing 30 next month, and has a hardcore passion of music since I was a child (my family is that of musicians, my father used to sing for AIR, passed away in dec '21 ) Also I'm in between gigs, as in, trying for PG as I want to do music, but don't want to 100% depend economically on it, as I fear it might get in the way of my creative calls and make me compromise. Basically, back up. I was so much involved in practicing medicine also with the pandemic, that I couldn't do anything in terms of music. Now I'm planning to move to Mumbai. Also if I get a PG set there, great. I wanna "struggle" and see if I can do something in the field of music. Do you think I'm way old to start now (like practically, not those philosophical shit) am I making the right call? Does me being a woman who's shelf life is always small makes it worse? P.s- love your show, motivates me max
Hey Kenny ! (Hoping you read this in *any* consequent episode of yours) Always loved your sense of humor, but the last 2 months I've really started diving into Simple Ken; like you've said, whenever I'm like, doing some menial task during the day, it keeps me company, just love it, keep em coming!!! I might be starting a podcast on my college radio similar to this one, so....... I'll try not to resort to plagiarism I guess? XD For my question.... what's your take on procrastination? Also, is Ashiyaar (hope I spelled it right) still there? Tight Chaddi. Tight Butt.
The worst betrayal in the history- we didn't got to see Biswa's drawing after waiting patiently for it.
Yeeeeaaaaa 😭💀
Arghhhhhhhh 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@Vedant-M glad I saw this before the video started.
@@shivangidharne Lucky you 😄
I was literally listening to the podcast on Spotify and just to see Biswa's drawing i opened yt and got betrayed 😂
Just seeing you guys together makes me feel things are alright in the world, good old times of TH-cam ❤️😊
+1
🤗🤗
There is a major war going on, but things are alright in the world coz Kenny and biswa hung out.

Not all capes wear heroes.
Hey Kenny.. this is coming from a 16 y/o.. due to the stress of boards I have been experiencing way more panic attacks and feeling a lot more lonely lately and sometimes I just needed someone to keep talking instead of expecting me to engage in conversation because I am usually very introverted.. your podcast has been helping me get through bad days and I really appreciate it.. thanks a lot!
have fun at school , do bit of everything . just focus on your 12th boards as it'll decide if you get any scholarship whatsoever . it'll take the stress off your parents by a lot.
indians are so messed up in this regard. i feel sorry for you. wish your country gave you more options.
"Got It Got It Got It" is Biswa version of "Hmm Acha Theek Hai"
you know the best part about these long recordings is that you see, 2 very sucessful people in their fields being authentic and super real and even accepting that their success doesn't mean that they are inevitably secure in their art. It gives us listeners a sense of calmness that even though we might feel uneasy over our present situations, it's okay, becuase insecurity over your art doesnt necessarily mean that you are bad at it, it just means that you are ready to improve and work more on it.

Biswa: WHAT?!
Kenny: talking
Biswa: got it got it got it. got it
I’m in my early 20s and I just love that there are such cool people like you on the Internet and I can just listen to you talking about important topics! Thanks for the podcast! 💝
Kenny we want more Biswa on this "long recordings of you talking".
Love how Biswa's art is invisible in the video sure to the lighting
Kenny looking in awe at Biswa after he says he just understands maths is a mood.
I can listen to Biswa talking forever. If only he had a podcast.....
Me too
Biswa is deep! The mix of intelligence and wittiness. Too good.
This notification makes me so happy! Thanks Kenny! Kudos to you❤
Biswa's intellectuality and intelligence towards everything is commendable.
51:25 Kenny says technology hasn't reached the point to see the drawings on the podcast. Technology also hasn't reached the point to see the drawings on your video. :P

Nice one guys! Kenny you're good and Biswa, you're aging like a fine wine man, getting calmer & calmer.
Star boys needs a comeback!!
Man I was on the verge of breaking down right now when I saw you uploaded this episode....Now Imma cry BUT happy tears 🥺
If you're mental sanity hinges on wether a youtube channel uploads a podcast then you need a therapist
@@Osaaamaaa lol! Not everyone who cries once in a while is depressed. We all have some hard days. And sorry to hurt you but Simple ken is therapy for a lot of us
@sulphurblueikr! 😅
12:47 biggest joke of this podcast is that Biswa put so much hard work and patience to draw a bottle and you can't even see it afterwards. 😂
kenny there was a whole movement in art and literature in 20th century- "Art for Art's sake" .Very interesting insights.
Biswa just says things as they are... great ability to explain things too... the bit about artist not growing after they become famous and hence due to the lack of growth we as audience feel they are shitty was so awesome, even his take on success was too good.

Lol, 37 here! And Their conversation about furniture and interior decorations is really making me happy! 😂
I never realised how Biswa goes like 'got it! got it!' while he is processing information.
Loved the podcast, btw.
I had watched their old episode around 5 times thanks for this new episode 🥺
14.47 - because quality of life ultimately comes down to the people you spend time with.
wise words by wise biswa
For me success is living a wholesome life, like whenever you feel you are lagging behind in an area of life, catch it right there and get to work, you deserve to be happy, self-fulfilled and enjoy a wholesome life. You can do a quarterly life analysis and take your time with it. :)
You've no idea how this specific comment of urs has helped me get a fresh perspective. Thanks !!
The transition to the sponsor segment was absolutely beautiful, the layout was cool too
Just looking at the video to see 52 mins of u talking make me sooo happy 🌈💫😇
Love the time stamp mapping you've done : ) Easy to revisit favourite parts
I can listen to this duo for days, months...
Thanks for your Simple Ken sessions, Kenny! The conversation flows and feels effortless for the listener, that I listen to you guys speak while working latenight (for university), and it makes me feel calm like I'm surrounded by my friends :)
Hi Kenny,
How’s life man? 31 episodes and I haven’t seen this question even once so yeah🙆
Beautiful. Genius. Thanks.🧡

Hey Kenny ❤️
When I was a kid I wanted all the flash light and the frame but as I'm growing old I love the privacy I'm getting! My question for you is have you ever thought after getting famous that it would have been nice if you could do what you love and still not sacrifice your privacy and do you think we can attain both privacy and fame? At some point people would demand to know what is going on in a famous person personal life!
My second question is how does it feel like financial better off and how has it changed you standard of living drasticly?
Thank you for making such a amazing show!
Ps it would be my dream to meet you!
Sending love and light ✨❤️
Missing maths aadmi... 🥺 nice to see you both, Kenny and Biswa!! Married men in the room wooo, congrats all around! Loved this episode. I listened first with audio-only and now ofc I need to come full circle and watch the video version hahah. Much love 💖
Hey Kenny, thank you for doing Simple Ken - especially the episodes where you bring guests. Love the conversations.
I have a question regarding how you or artists who do well enough to earn a living doing art view their careers. I have a career in technology and while it pays well, I find most people around me do their tech jobs because it provides them money and their plan is usually to work really hard for 2 decades and retire early and maybe do something they like doing at that point, with no worry about earning a living from it. Since you already love what you do for a living, would you ever stop doing it? Or would you downscale at some point?
Thank you and I hope I get to see you perform live some day! I would also pay to see a Simple Ken taped live :D
Cheers,
Guru
Such a wholesome conversation ❤
Heard something so different and refreshing Kenny.Also Biswa is a gem,like you Kenny 💎
I feel like I grow with you! Thanks!
Ken and Biswa Together are ❤❤❤
I love that you put time stamps! Great episode btw.
#SimpleKen - Hey Kenny, I’ve been binge listening to long recording of you talking. It’s soothing to hear some deep insights on topics. In one of the video, you mentioned how diversified group you’ve grown up and how most of the kids were bilingual or trilingual. My question for you is what to do you think of giving importance in learning your mother tongue. As a 28 year old guy, brought up in Mumbai, I feel like whenever my relatives say some typical Gujarati word or saying, I become clueless. I feel idiot.
Listening on Spotify:
'If you are listening on audio version, too bad'
*switching it to YT* 🤭
I liked that drawing thing, I think it'd be nice if there was a tradition that every time a guest joins, they'd have to participate in either drawing or something competitive and at the end of the year you have a leaderboard for simpleken guests.
YAYY made my morning!!!
I've just started hearing the "long recordings of u talking" on spotify, I'm in ep 5... And I love it so much, and it's great to hear a person think 70% like me and now ik I'm not crazy. Some of it is like hearing myself, which feels super cool n awsm. You're cool. and I chumma commented in Ep 31, which I'll reach soon.
And Congratulations to you n Tracy too ❤️ Happy married life. Luv y'all
Best podcast! Seeing it since episode 1
so happy to see u guys together... really waiting for another comicstaan. seeing u all funny people together and being friends makes me feel like i have good friends..🤪🤪 thats so weird..
Hey kenny, I am an strictly audio listener of simpleken. But I just broke the rule and watched the video version for the first time ever just to see yours and Biswa’s drawings. And they were out of focus.. can you please put those up on Instagram.. don’t play with our feelings like this..
Just want to say, there was no point dissing about audio format saying you cant view the drawing, cause ironically the drawings weren't visible in video format as well. nevertheless, the
episode was cool AF! need more episodes ft Biswa
Everytime Kenny meets Biswa
Biswa : *breathes*
Kenny : hahahahahahahahha
Love the late night Johnny carson-esque melody to kick it off 👍
Have waited a long time for this. ❤️😇
This podcast reinforced my existential crisis
Whoa! Very insightful chat, esp the bit about defining success.
I used to wonder how people watch such lengthy podcasts... I get it now, pretty interesting! just finished watching a whole episode, will go catch up with the remaining episodes
Side note, loved Biswa's modern way of expressing without facial expressions - "cringe* 😂😄😄😄
As per my observations I feel the worst thing to happen to our generation is something which is extremely basic, something that has been triggered by our own intellect or hyper active senses which do not have a pre fitted filter. That something is overthinking. I feel even health is over rated because it's not about being fit or looking fit, it's actually about feeling fit even with the fat. The number of people unfit by industry standards seem to outlive those who are considered super fit. The medical system is designed to scare people to ultimately turn them into life long customers. People say they're going to adopt a healthy lifestyle by eating the right food but what about the food for the brain? The brain needs you to stop overthinking or a filter, that's the root prescription. There's absolutely nothing to be scared about in this world except your own thoughts. Thoughts are like the software which which design your hardware. So if you run too many unnecessary apps on your software, then it's more likely to slow down, overheat and possibly even attract malware which may force the system to shut down. So the best thing to do is not to overcomplicate life with overthinking, just keep it basic but ironically nowadays it's one of the hardest things to do with the constant influx of information and the feeling of being left out. The easiest way to close those unwanted apps in the brain is to focus on a plant which is one of the most complex piece of technology existing abundantly around us yet we are fascinated by the phone or laptop that we own or the next new piece of tech. We think we are the smartest beings in the planet right now but it's just an illusion, our senses trick us into believing that.
Loved the long recording of you.
Hearing conversation about kids, makes me wish for a conversation between Kenny and Nihilanand. 😂
This one was amazing ❤❤❤
THE LOCAL TRAIN HORN AT 22:30 LITERALLY KILLED ME
Need a friend like Biswa in my life.
Yesss
I could totally resonate with Kenny.. my thinking is so damn same..!!! As if you were talking my mind...
The podcast in short:
Kenny: *talks*
Biswa: Got it got it got it
I recently started watching Simpleken even though I have been following Kenny from long time.
I find them interesting and while listening I started thinking about the topic or particular conversation and brainstorm or re think about my thoughts on it, I have to re wind and see the video again 😅
Wonderful Voice Quality ❤️
Disappointed that couldn't see biswa's drawing but damn Kenny that octa baby looks cool!
best pair to exist, fr.
Hey Kenny and Biswa
Thanks for answering my question!
#simpleken
It's lovely to hear a long record of you talking.. Congrats on the marriage..
My Question is..
Have you ever dated a bipolar person in general? If so.. What is your take on dating them.. and in long run marrying the person..
P.S : Hope you would pick my question.. Either way cheers for giving laughs every now and then..
#simpleken
Hey kenny ! Your long recordings are the best thing ever... Thanks for doing what you're doing man.
I wanted to ask , did you ever feel like you'll never find love ? How did you overcome the feeling of emptiness that sometimes engulfs us when we have been alone for quite sometime. I have had my share of very terrible dating choices out of fomo when i clearly knew it wouldn't work out but i wanted to give it a try bc what if it was last chance at love. Do you feel like love comes to you or you need to make efforts to find. This whole thing drives me crazy idk how to deal w the thought of never finding someone.
Thanks for reading.
Please keep these recordings coming.
Ilysm ❤️🌻
Oh my god i am feeling the same lately. Hope kenny sees this and answers
I could watch you guys forever 😇
No you can't. You will get bored
Adding to the point at 27:00 , for Comedians the corporates are main source of income till they make it big, for Bollywood the big budget event films finance the multi-screen type movies. Or as SRK says 'Gurbat mein creativity nahi hoti'
We didnt get to see the drawings anyway, right? It wasn't focused!
Anyway always wonderful to see you.
#simpleken
Hey Kenny, so this is a clichè question, but then, it's important for me. I'm a doctor, MBBS, completing 30 next month, and has a hardcore passion of music since I was a child (my family is that of musicians, my father used to sing for AIR, passed away in dec '21 )
Also I'm in between gigs, as in, trying for PG as I want to do music, but don't want to 100% depend economically on it, as I fear it might get in the way of my creative calls and make me compromise. Basically, back up.
I was so much involved in practicing medicine also with the pandemic, that I couldn't do anything in terms of music. Now I'm planning to move to Mumbai. Also if I get a PG set there, great. I wanna "struggle" and see if I can do something in the field of music. Do you think I'm way old to start now (like practically, not those philosophical shit) am I making the right call? Does me being a woman who's shelf life is always small makes it worse?
P.s- love your show, motivates me max
Got it.......
Apparently us video viewers also didn't have a lot of luck of looking at Biswa's sketching :)
This was healing❤️
Hey Kenny ! (Hoping you read this in *any* consequent episode of yours) Always loved your sense of humor, but the last 2 months I've really started diving into Simple Ken; like you've said, whenever I'm like, doing some menial task during the day, it keeps me company, just love it, keep em coming!!! I might be starting a podcast on my college radio similar to this one, so....... I'll try not to resort to plagiarism I guess? XD For my question.... what's your take on procrastination? Also, is Ashiyaar (hope I spelled it right) still there? Tight Chaddi. Tight Butt.
Anybody else notice Kenny's natural cat eye in the sponsored segment? So cute🥺
So philosophical !
So Ken remembered he has followers best notification for the mrng time
God it's gold mine out here. Keep slaying 30s mate.
