Kenny, just to tell you, "Simple Ken" is arguably THE BEST LONG RECORDING OF SOMEONE TALKING, on this planet, and you know what, best things require long breaks. No Stress, don't blame yourself, it's all perfectly perfect. Just as I finish this Long Comment of me Commenting, wanted to let you know that all of us are excited for those next Comedian Cameos. Much Love :) Vidhan here.
As a gen z to hear I'm responsible, compassionate, caring from a complete stranger feels really nice. Especially when we are always looked down in the name of "seniority" and not taken seriously. Its sort a like a validation
Hey kenny! Today I wanted to narrate a story about when I met you, and then ask a question about it as well. We were at the Mumbai airport, and I saw you at the check in counter. It was afternoons time and not a lot of youngsters were around. I was staring right at you thinking if I should come up and say hi or would it be too annoying. You did see me staring and I felt so awkward. Then I saw you walk up the escalator. I quickly caught up and came behind you and just said, Kenny I love you. You turned and laughed and then after we got off the escalator we had a small chat and clicked a photo. It was super sweet and fun to me and it’s one of my really fun little memories. Which brings me to my question, how often do you get annoyed with fans coming up when you arnt in the mood and how do you deal with it. And has there been any embarrassing times that you were rude to somebody and regretted it later. Lots of love
Hello! Answering Ifra's question, personally defining boundaries (not to be mistaken for walls) with family members and consequences when they are broken has helped me a lot. Maybe you could try that.
*I seriously saw someone said that they have suicidal thoughts when thinking about not having aims in life. But before I could post my reply, the comment was deleted. So to the one who posted and deleted the comment, this is for you bruh* Join the Club Bruh! But the suicidal thoughts are damn bad man... Get some medical help before it gets Worst. (Telling this from Personal Experience) And yes, sometimes we do feel like there's no aim or goal in life.... But isn't being alive is a pretty privileged aim in life😊 I know I'm being annoying by saying this but still.... Some times we should be lost to be Found ✨
Dear Kenny, it's nice to see you back after four months. I was wondering if I could give you a little something to try out. Maybe, as a social experiment, you could try not being chirpy for the next Simple Ken long recording. Personally, I sometimes don't have the emotional energy to put on a persona to make content watchable. And I'm a journalist so I got to push myself to the brink fairly often. Maybe, somewhere along the line, we'll also discover what clicks with the audience and what doesn't. Just as a social experiment within this community. Thanks for reading!
I was having a depressive episode and just wanted to listen to someone talk about "something else". This really calmed me down. I got so many new perspectives and it somehow really helped. I literally just stumbled upon this gem and it turned out to be one of the most relevant thing I have heard in a long time. Really enjoyed listening to this. Thank you. Big Hugs!
Thank you for answerimg my question Kenny. It was the most straightforward and practical advice I have got regarding this issue. I am already working on being independent and eventually move out. I do fulfill my duties towards some family memberd without loving them. I haven't always been lucky when it comes to friends, but I have a few a value a lot and vice versa. Thanks again.
Hi Ifrah, hope you are doing well. I wanted to write to you regarding your question. You asked about bullying and harrassment and that does not come from family. Whoever these people are, you guys are destined to have mutual ancestoral history, just that. Only blood connection and no emotional ties. They are not entitled to your time or your attention. You have to feel empowered enough to be able to not give them what they are not entitled to. And that comes with money/financial independence and education. You need not be under their financial or any other kind of burden. Money and awareness/education will give you power to be able to avoid them or tell them what they are doing is not unacceptable. Once you have these, you are sorted. You will not take any shit from anyone yourself. If any conventional ways of society forces you to stay with them and they are going out of hand, it is only your mental strength that can give you peace - either by speaking back or ignoring. You have to have a strong heart to be able to not get affected by them or decide to move out of your house.
Hi Kenny! Happy to see a public figure give out realistic opinions than framing idealistic expectations in viewers which may or may not happen. I'm a practicing Licensed Clinical Psychologist since the past 5 years now, and wanted to shed some light regarding how to choose the right therapist and who can call themselves a "Psychologist" in India: 1. Before approaching a therapist, know what you're looking to be helped with. For daily life problems, a Counselling Psychologist would do. But for anything on the lines of Clinical Depression, Anxiety, OCD etc. can only be worked upon with the expertise of a Clinical Psychologist. 2. Once you've understood the difference, always go through the credentials of the therapist, have a look at the work they've put in and lastly make a list of your expectations out of someone you'd be sharing your most insecure and vulnerable self with. Based on these checks, no one therapist will fit all. Get on a consultation call or go have 2-3 therapists on trial to see who fits your boat the best. 3. The most important part, who can call themselves a "Psychologist". Please don't confuse self-proclaimed life coaches or motivational speakers for therapists. The minimum qualification to not just call yourself but also practice as a therapist is a MA in the specific field of Psychology, just a BA won't do. The same follows suit for a Clinical Psychologist, with the only difference, they should hold a 'license number from RCI" to even call themselves a Clinical Psychologist, only a MA in Clinical Psychology is not enough. Please make an informed choice as it's a matter of your life more than money. Just like you wouldn't ignore your physical heath to a point of no recovery, please save up to invest in mental health too. Also, the get the 'best" therapist, please don't shy away from shelling out the fees which is worth the time and effort they put into helping you navigate your life. Hope this helps! Love & light, Mrinalini T. Nathaniel Founder: Mannvartan
Omg! Just realised how much I missed that calming intro and your soothing voice in the last few roller-coaster months... 🥺 Thanks for coming back with another LROYT. God Bless You 💜💜💜
#simpleken hey Kenny how you doing? I want to know yours views about birthday depression. From last 3 4 birthdays I have been noticing this pattern that I overthink the day before about have I achieved Amy thing compared to people my age. Or I am upto the expectation people have or even I have with myself. Also that do I deserve all this and why can't I be happy on my birthday? I ruined all my birthdays just acting weird and not wanting to celebrate it. When I say I don't want to do anything people around me get disappointed and all the shitty stuff I am just irritated with birthdays now. Is this a real thing? Or am I only the one? Love your work. Take care
I definitely agree with this long recording of being therapeutic. I don't watch videos or podcasts like these before because of a shitty attention span. I admit, and deeply ashame, I skip the intro. But after two months of binge-watching Simple Ken, I'm now a fan of podcasts!And long recording of someone talking of course. I would never skip the intro anymore cause I might not hear it for the next two years. Much love from the Philippines!
Hi Kenny, Love your work! I have a couple of questions for you. 1. As someone in their late 20s, I get a lot of these pressurizing questions like When are you getting married, When are you settling down etc. I haven't found my person yet and I want to wait a while before thinking of other options. Have you faced such pressure from family or friends (as you are also in that age range) and if so, how do you deal with it? 2. What is the best advice you can give to people in their 20s? Is it really the end of the good life once we become 30? All movies and music market the 20s as this golden period of life after which its all downhill. Is that true? And finally, I'm sure you, like the rest of us, have been in love and whatnot. What is the greatest lesson you have learned about love and relationships? What do you look for in a relationship now as opposed to 10 years ago? I enjoy the occasional bout of introspection and I like to pick people's brains, so thought I'd ask. Totally cool if you want to skip any haha. Keep doing great work man. Appreciate it. #simpleken
Hey Kenny, loved your take on "happiness is too one dimensional". What you said, actually makes sense, never thought of it that way! It's amazing how I'm evolving as a person with each episode. Lots of ❤
hey kenny , ik ur reading this lol cuz u keep saying that u read all comments. ur thoughts on the newer generation kinda shocked me- , mostly cuz i started thinking very negatively of this generation for how it sometimes it looked selfish , maybe it was a personal stuff but i realised through u that there are things which our generation is doing which is litreally so nice but at the next moment u see someone being very immature . i think mostly this is cuz of the "bad side " of internet . also i wanted to thank you so much for always advising (one useful thing abt this long recording ) to get therapy , the only reason why i feel happy today was through someone posting a long recording of talking , so thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Hey Kenny, you've been a great personality and influencer throughout your grown career as a comedian and over-all as an artist. Just love your stand-up so much ❤️ and started watching these podcast, loved it too 🔥. It's awesome👌🏻. It's all your call abt the breaks or busy schedule, still gonna watch you... 😊
I took arts, I followed my dreams. I'm still confused 😂 I'm doing exactly what I wanted, but it still feels like I'm lost. Honestly, this is a part of life and you need to find things that help you stay happy. Don't put the pressure of happiness on your career!
Hi Kenny, one question. Stick till the end. First of all, big fan since 5 years, smth. I'm a medical student in my 2nd year in Europe. Came here in Dec 2020. I totally agree with you on "even dream jobs" have things you don't like. Similar to mine, being a doctor has been my dream since I was 8. And I soon realised this bitter truth of life. If any one Asks me for advice, I tell that "DO ANYTHING but mainly for the sake of doing it" if it pays you well, good for you but if it doesn't, (sadly for many ppl) look out for a source of income and pursue your "passion" like a Weekend hustle, don't leave main job, until you can scale it up. My question is (quite existential) : is it really fair that we mind (sorta complaining) about all these problems (coming from a place of privilege) when there's an entire city of children sleeping empty stomach??
Everyone deserves a long break, and this is coming from a person who has had no breaks in the last 10 years. But one day I will, and that will be the last day I will work under someone as a slave. Although I can apply for say 10 days break, but knowing that I will have to return to that fucking office after the break ruins the entire leave.
I truly agree😊 Even though we all are eager in looking forward for Simple Ken, we all should understand that Kenny is a Human too.... He too can get tired of Things, he too can get stressed out and he too NEEDS A BREAK! The time doesn't matter, it is the Recovery Process which matters... Some people can just recover from being stressed within hours while Some people will take years to cope with it. (Personal Experience talking here😁) He knows we want Simple Ken but also we should understand him that He's doing all of these for us and not only for himself... Remember the second episode with Kanan?! He said "I'm doing things mostly for the people and the audience". He's doing everything for us but we are just stressing him out more. He's such a Gem and a Hard working Person. My head hurts when I think of losing my sleep for others for 10 Whole Years! I said that Next Year is too much of time but if the next episode comes out Next Year, I won't be angry on him... Instead, I'll just watch the episode 😂 Because we all should understand that the happy Kenny Sebastian in the video is not the only Kenny Sebastian.... He too have problems. And we shouldn't be increasing more problems and putting more pressure on him by simply asking to do the next episode regularly. Instead we should understand and support him if he's going through some bad phase of life❤️ Just remember Ken 😊 We love you for who you are 😁 Love you and Take Care ✨
This is so therapeutic!! I loved that Kenny gives a reality check too, so not trying to pamper you but still showing things as they simply are (or atleast giving you one of the many perspective of things), and life in general. Absolutely loved this one💙
Now that Mr sebastian(love ya) has found a partner to deal with life's existential questions to have long talks with.........does this podcast even play a role in his life? Note - My dp is from habitat, where I met you! I performed in the Open mic also that day (music wala tho). You came by an Auto, and the person who was with me there judged you saying "auto se aaya kenny? I expected better" XD. Auto is India's national vehicle, that didn't even make sense to me personally
Also, you had left your macbook open on the table with your youtube account open. Itni chull hui, but control kia maine. I had'nt come across your comedy till that point but the whole group I was there with recognised you and all of us got a photo with you. I hate group norms, but now that i like you i cherish the story xD
I was just thinking about simpleken a few days backkk!! Sooo happy to see the new episode! 💓💓 and taking a break is totally okay and is actually good. So, don't worry Kenny, we got your back!!
Hey Man! Great stuff out there. Well guess what I have too have something to ask that I was thinking about for a long time. Whenever I dislike someone, I compare things which I do and they do. I just try not to act like them even though it is the right thing at that moment. I regret if I do the same thing. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you. Keep it coming:)
My parents and my brother who are all science peeps always thought it would be easy for me as a PCMB student to take BA in English literature. But it was hard and I showed to them our struggle. And they don't understand half of what I write or say. Especially after graduation. Now, they get it. Every career is hard in its own way. Thanku Kenny. Our friend via dopamine.
As a mental health professional, just clarifying a few things about therapy - 1. Please choose to go to a therapist with at least a Master's degree. Undergraduates are not supposed to be offering therapy services. Unfortunately, there is no regulating body in India for therapists. So you will have to do your own due diligence before choosing a qualified therapist. 2. Only 0.8% of the budget is allotted for the mental health industry and the ratio of therapists to people is 1:100000 Thank you 😄
#simpleken ...Im gonna try one more time coz you told not to lose the serendipity...i have no idea what it means but ya..lol..i tried thrice 11 months ago apparently..ahh how time flies.. i love you sooo much kenny....youre really a veryy good person and i immediately feel good after watching your videos....i just wanna ask what if nothing works out like you planned and imagined it would?....im just 16..yaa lol...and i wanna make my mom proud a lottt....its my one goal in life...and its the little things like marks prizes whatsoever...and i work hard for it and expect sooo much and still dont get it...so like does faith have to do with anything that we do for it to be successful or is it solely based on our hard work alone?..ik god is a sensitive topic but i really need help...pls replyyy...once again ilysm..mwahh
For the first question if only one has a room to herself/himself. They can be in that space and do the things they love in that space and neglecting the other stuffs (which is tough ik) bt gradually you won't be Giving a damn about them.. just don't interact
Hey Kenneth, I write this with utmost love and admiration for you... Saying 'the audience that watches stand up does not follow/watch this long recording of you talking' seems like an unfair assumption when the man doing all that kickass standup and improv is the same guy making this long recording. You probably just have a sincere following and community of your own, with individuals ready to receive as wide a bandwidth of content as you offer. Much love
I wanted to ask a question but it was already answered in this long recording. And I’m so happy to see many others in the same age group thinking alike and facing similar problems and dilemma. Tbh I’m a little pissed that when my friend gives me this advice I do not listen and when Kenny says the same thing I’m like yeah, this makes total sense! 🤣 Welcome back Kenny!
Hey Kenny, been watching your videos since comicstan. I am a 15 year old in my 10th grade. And honestly I don't know what I'm good at or what I really like . I think I'm good at developing football tactics, but since football never gets representation in this country, I have no benchmark to compare myself with. So my question is what do you think i must do after my 10th boards, how to find your passion And do you think studying what you're going to do in your career is overhyped? Considering that you're doing something completely different from what you studied in college.
See let me tell u from experience what u choose now as ur stream may or may not where u finally end up in ur career..these are just baby steps to realizing where u want to direct ur life.. if ue into science take bio math as u can choose anything after that..and if u aren't u have so many interesting options to explore..keep reading up on what all possibilities each stream offers.. ans lastly ur board exam scores matter a lot while choosing ur stream
Hey Kenny I've been thinking about art and creation, and its relationship with being a source of income. As a kid, I used to read about rock bands that made really good edgy music. As soon as they get signed to a record label, their music deteriorates, and the suits take over. What is your opinion on creating art for extrinsic rewards or using the art one creates to earn a living? Is art created in exchange for an extrinsic reward in any way different from one created for the sake of it? #simpleken
I think..as humans were constantly in search of some change..some movement..the moment stagnation takes over it gets hard to keep doing it..if art is what gives u ur ikigai(reason reason wake up) follow it with all ur heart then and see where it lands u..also practically thinking it is true that art as a career is a bit of a gamble..and honesty when money is involved things get complicated..ur comment reminds me of that rock band..nirvana
Dearest kenny , I read somewhere teenage is a long road of thrones and twigs . It makes you feel insecure lost and confused . I myself feel it is true in all sense . Now that people are wrapped in their houses , I also heard comments from my friends their mental health is deteriorating and insecurities sometimes make them feel as losers . What were your insecurities when you were growing up .. how did you overcome it ..and what is your opinion about mental health and teenagers I must tell you that I like your podcast because its damn relatable with ordinary life . You're doing a good job . Stay blessed kenny! #simpleken
#simpleken Never be feel bad for taking a break Kenny ✨ You need it and deserve it and we all should give it 🤗 *This is for the people who would be reading this and especially for the people pressuring Kenny to do Simple Ken* 👇👇👇 Even though we all are eager in looking forward for Simple Ken, we all should understand that Kenny is a Human too....

Thank you Kenny... I lost my elder brother due to covid in may... today is his birthday... And... I can't even explain how this day had been...but listening to you ... really calm my heart. Thank you so much for this long recording of you talking ❤️
Hey Kenny! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing these long recording of you talking, really keeps me going and thinking and it's also helping me in developing better analytic outlooks on things. Thanks man! Hope you are feeling better!🌼
BIG DECISION AT YOUNG AGE Damn! How great that would be if someone could tell me exactly the same thing, when I was looking for someone to talk about if I should quit this course after putting 5 yrs. Of my time. There wasn't no one, and took the wrong decision, just listening to some random motivation thing... That might not work as well, so we need to consider all possible scenario, so please decide with calm and don't look for motivation all the time, try to be practical as well...
I listen to the audio version of "long recording of kenny talking" in the morning...while traveling and then I watch the whole recording on youtube while having my dinner, haha! Thats how calming and therapeutic this is. Thanks a lot Kenny #simpleken
I'm believing in serendipity ( you said something like this😅) and commenting..... If you are avoiding some important work you have to do ... But then you make your will some how very difficulty and you sit for doing it but one or other family member disturbs you.....how to deal with it....I hate when someone disturbs me while I'm doing something important that is boring for me . But how the hell it happens every single time 😐. Everytime I sit for studying some one comes and.... BOOM 💥.and the timing is so perfect that they teleport at the just time I read firt word 😭😭.... I know you must be thinking this is a small issue but for me it's .....😐. Even if you didn't take this question in video please answer here . I'm believing in serendipity
Hi kenny, Thank you for finally uploading ❤️ First of all, If you don't like people calling it a podcast, WHY HAVE YOU TITLED IT AS PODCAST? The nation wants to know. Anyway, I love watching these long recordings, i started watching your content when i was in 10th standard, now I'm 22. Dating rules indian guys need to follow was the first ever video I watched of yours and i remember sending it to my then boyfriend because I thought it was hilarious and him taking offense for some reason. That relationship was very toxic and he stalked and threatened me when I ended things with him. When I think about that relationship i sometimes remember how he took offense over a comedy video, and how I should've know then. Since then, I've watched you sing, draw and ofcourse perform comedy. So anyway, do you ever wonder how you impact other people's lives in ways you don't even know, how many stories or memories you're part of that you may have no idea about, it's kind of amazing and scary to think about. How does it feel to be famous is what my question is, I think. Thank you. And I love watching you. #simpleken
Ur question is super unique! And ur right we go on touching lives we have no idea about ..and maybe we never will..but think about the magnitude of impact just one person can make..so if u can channel all ur energy into being that light for the world..then it doesn't matter who or how many people u have impacted!
oh my god, I was so scared that this show was gonna end....I watched every episode twice just to keep myself sane, this is probably my first comment ever and I just have to type this....... This year was super crazy for me not just because of corona and shit but like ya last few months were just not that good and that was when I discovered #simpleken I was listening to it while doing like everything studying, eating, writing, reading..... whenever I didn't want to study I used to listen to it and it used to motivate me I don't know what it was but listening to you somehow gives me an assurance that everything is gonna be fine. I had so many questions but at this moment I am just getting super emotional anyway comming toward my question, I am kind of into dark comedy and stuff but whenever I say something about death in front of my parents(of course not the extreme stuff) but like just some jokes and shit they get super serious and starts asking about what type of people I am hanging out with or what type of stuff I am reading or watching.....like even if I am just a little sad they directly assume I am depressed and okk they want to help me but the solution they come up with is that all these problems are due to my lifestyle that I don't exersice enough I don't follow a correct sleep schedule that when they were kids they didn't face such types of problems... again maybe I am overreacting and they are just trying to help me but still it makes me uncomfortable its like getting inferirioty complex about your own parents and I want to convey it to them but they will just say that I am getting rebellious......what should I do? #simpleken
Great question and Welcome to the Club, Sis😁 Being into dark comedy and stuff are not a pretty bad thing. The world is revolving and Everything is just becoming great day by day. But the only thing which can't be changed is the society we live in is far more away from the true reality... TBH, I was a girl who was very taboo talking about periods, sex and stuff. Even I was very scared about using swearing Words out in public. But then I got to know that I'm not controlling myself, it's the society which is controlling me. Then I broke out from it and now I'm much more myself. I watch dark stuff, I talk about periods and sex so openly and publicly without fear. And I'm happy. Even though I get faces when I talk about them, I don't care. Because we are the new generation which is gonna rule the world! We break all the shitty stereotypes the world has made. But unfortunately, our parents are still binded with the stupid society and stereotypes. And they think we get influenced by each and every thing we see or we get involved, which is not true at all. I do watch dark comedy and enjoy them but that doesn't mean I do the stuff said in it such as sex. I just enjoy it as a content but I don't implant in my life! Like I'm just 18 😂😂😂. But we can't do anything about it. ANYTHING!!! Trust me, I have tried and the only one thing which happened was me giving up😅 Parents have this thing that they are perfect in every way and they expect us to be just like them... But we can't, because we are not them. You are Gargi and I'm Swetha. We are ourselves and we can't be just like our parents. Yes of course, we might have the same characteristics of our parents and we might behave like our parents in certain situations. But that never means that we can just be like our parents. We know it but they don't and they expect alot from us. Believe me, not only ur parents, every Indian parents will definitely bring up the topic "When I was young", "During our Days when we were a Child".... I know it's very irritating and annoying, but what can we do other than being quiet and act like we are listening to them 😅 But until we are old enough to move out (just like Kenny did), we can't change their perspective on Life which is not tangible with the real world today. Our perspective is different and their perspective is way more different..... I'm happy that your are trying to help you but the solution they come up with is indeed pretty lame 😅 Even my parents say the same thing, but your parents are trying to help you while mine are just nagging at me 😂 Talking about dark stuff with parents are the most scariest thing in the world and I don't know how you get the courage to do it so 😅 If I did it, I know I'll be dead the very next day(Not being sarcastic 🙂). I did it once though and you don't know how much they scolded me and I was crying non stop for a Week. But then I became more cautious about what should I tell my parents and what should I not tell my parents. And yes! It does feel hell uncomfortable when our own parents don't understand us that nothing is wrong with us. Conveying it to them can be very hard. I don't if this is the the right way and I'm not saying that this is what you should do (Because I'm no one to force you 😊). This is just my point of view. Pick a day on when ur parents are in a great mood or spend the entire day with them with a happy vibe, then sit down and talk about ur problem to them. But don't get straight to the point! Just talk about normal stuff and navigate slowly to the topic you wanna talk about. It does take a lot of skills and effort to do this and I learned this the hard way, but I personally feel that this is only way you can talk to ur parents about ur feelings. If they understand you, it's great👍🏻 But if they don't, don't worry too much🤗 You can always have your friends to talk about ur feelings. But it'll become a big issue if you don't share ur emotions with someone. At least have one person in ur life to talk about it. Like a friend, sibling, or relative just anyone. If there's someone like that in ur life, then you are sorted Buddy. Not just about feelings, but you can talk about anything you want with them like dark comedy. I hope Kenny takes up your Question to see his point of view 🤗 Until then, Take Care Sissy 💕 #simpleken
#simpleken Hi kenny I am 17 currently , I have been listening to your your long recordings since episode 1 . I have tried a few other podcasts but I never found myself to be enjoying it as much i do yours. My question is even though my parents spend so much time for my education and money for buying me things that I want and need, there seem to be an inseparable ridge between us .I am much happier spending time with my friends to the point where I loathe family trips . I find myself unable to have a deeper bond with them , most of my conversations seem to be dry or boring especially with my father since he is a very conservative person i cant talk about anything ' fun ' or ' interesting ' because of the generation gap . I know i don't have the ability to change their personalities but I crave a more intimate bond with them . What are your thoughts about this matter ?
@kenny, the simple Ken videos feel so calming and relaxing to watch cause I feel it such a ‘chai pe charcha’ type of conversation. I have been watching your content since I was around 15/16 and now I’ll turn 24 in another 6 months. And through all of this, my thoughts and views about things are changing and evolving. So the way I look at things has changed so much and I don’t think I’d be able to relate to this 6 years ago but now I do understand some of where your views come from. And it’s crazy how much a person evolves every year and with every experience. I have watched your stand up, live shows as well as simpleken and this community itself feels so different. It feels so homely so unique (can’t find the right words tbh) but if I’d to come up with something similar I’d say, listening to simple ken everytime you upload a video would be like listening to your grandma telling you tales as a kid. Ofc you won’t relate to everything but it makes you homesick for the person for whom you probably would be a username and a tiny display picture. I have lost my train of thought but I hope I managed to explain even a bit of what this long recording of you does for us. It’s calming and it seems like a constant in this whole *adulthood sucks but you are going to love it* scheme of life
@@strawberryjellybean2839 honestly after I wrote it I knew someone would call me out for that stupidity 😂 but i already typed so much I didn’t want to go back
So, i was listening to you yesterday night, but i slept like in just 5 minutes. Played it this afternoon and slept again for an hour 😂 now i have played it for the third time ..And i feel sleepy again. Kenny thanks for making us feel so homely and cosy ..That it calms my anxious mind and puts me to sleep. Keep going!🌺
Also kenny, I was reading through the description and you haven't included NNN app in the major audio podcast platforms where Simple Ken is available.?! Why so? 🤨
Hey Kenny! Just a few days back, I was wondering what I'd listen to on my walks, once I finished all the episodes of Simple Ken. But, then, you released a new episode, and I was so glad! These long recordings helped me put some things into perspective, especially at times when I was frustrated that no one could get me. It felt like a conversation with one of my friends. I took psychology as an elective in college, and now whenever I see someone reacting in any way to an issue, I've started going, "This person has probably been treated like this, so they're reacting like that" or "It's childhood trauma". I'm an engineer, and not a professional psychologist as I took that subject for only one semester. But ever since my friends and I started introspecting a lot, I began trying to analyze and understand why people behave the way they do, which just raises thoughts like that sometimes. When I tried to psychologically analyze my family's behavior everywhere after that, it released a whole new can of worms, because damn, Indian parents have issues! I know I shouldn't have done it XD. Now, I feel like almost everyone needs therapy, if we're going by the standards in the more developed countries. What do you think about this? Btw, Thank you so much for the not-therapy-but-still-therapeutic-recordings! I heartily wish you the best for the future!! #simpleken
Guys it was a 4 months break not 6 months. My bad! It’s feel good to be back :)
It feels good*
Hey Kenny!!! Glad yu came back.. 👍👍👍
Finally...was desperately waiting for it..i thought you jst forget us after getting busy in this new normal..
Watching it again! WOHOOOO. You are BACK :D
I really loved the Ken and chip series..I am on IG break.. but once a month I used to search your page for seeing the Ken and chip comic series.
Kenny has that familiar face that when you see him and he smiles , you get a feeling that everything is gonna turn out fine in the end.
Kenny, just to tell you, "Simple Ken" is arguably THE BEST LONG RECORDING OF SOMEONE TALKING, on this planet, and you know what, best things require long breaks. No Stress, don't blame yourself, it's all perfectly perfect. Just as I finish this Long Comment of me Commenting, wanted to let you know that all of us are excited for those next Comedian Cameos. Much Love :)
Vidhan here.
As a gen z to hear I'm responsible, compassionate, caring from a complete stranger feels really nice. Especially when we are always looked down in the name of "seniority" and not taken seriously. Its sort a like a validation
"Stop listening to shit from the older generation"
I guess I'll stop listening to Simple Ken now 😉😂
Good job 👍🏾
Hey kenny! Today I wanted to narrate a story about when I met you, and then ask a question about it as well.
We were at the Mumbai airport, and I saw you at the check in counter. It was afternoons time and not a lot of youngsters were around. I was staring right at you thinking if I should come up and say hi or would it be too annoying.
You did see me staring and I felt so awkward. Then I saw you walk up the escalator. I quickly caught up and came behind you and just said, Kenny I love you.
You turned and laughed and then after we got off the escalator we had a small chat and clicked a photo.
It was super sweet and fun to me and it’s one of my really fun little memories.
Which brings me to my question, how often do you get annoyed with fans coming up when you arnt in the mood and how do you deal with it. And has there been any embarrassing times that you were rude to somebody and regretted it later.
Lots of love
"you probably would not read this." I see this as a good opportunity to make Kenny read this.
"serendipity"
Hey..Kenny..ur personality is so humourous..my day is made just listening to you Dude..👍🐺
Hello! Answering Ifra's question, personally defining boundaries (not to be mistaken for walls) with family members and consequences when they are broken has helped me a lot. Maybe you could try that.
"The purpose of life is to just live it" nice stuff Kenny ! Always good to hear you here ❤️
*I seriously saw someone said that they have suicidal thoughts when thinking about not having aims in life. But before I could post my reply, the comment was deleted. So to the one who posted and deleted the comment, this is for you bruh*
Join the Club Bruh! But the suicidal thoughts are damn bad man... Get some medical help before it gets Worst. (Telling this from Personal Experience)
And yes, sometimes we do feel like there's no aim or goal in life.... But isn't being alive is a pretty privileged aim in life😊 I know I'm being annoying by saying this but still....
Some times we should be lost to be Found ✨
Dear Kenny, it's nice to see you back after four months. I was wondering if I could give you a little something to try out. Maybe, as a social experiment, you could try not being chirpy for the next Simple Ken long recording. Personally, I sometimes don't have the emotional energy to put on a persona to make content watchable. And I'm a journalist so I got to push myself to the brink fairly often. Maybe, somewhere along the line, we'll also discover what clicks with the audience and what doesn't. Just as a social experiment within this community. Thanks for reading!
Really cool suggestion :)
Change my mind:
Kenneth Sebastian is an enlightened man.This man has attained nirvana.
I was having a depressive episode and just wanted to listen to someone talk about "something else". This really calmed me down. I got so many new perspectives and it somehow really helped. I literally just stumbled upon this gem and it turned out to be one of the most relevant thing I have heard in a long time. Really enjoyed listening to this. Thank you. Big Hugs!
Thank you for answerimg my question Kenny. It was the most straightforward and practical advice I have got regarding this issue.
I am already working on being independent and eventually move out. I do fulfill my duties towards some family memberd without loving them. I haven't always been lucky when it comes to friends, but I have a few a value a lot and vice versa.
Thanks again.
Hi Ifrah, hope you are doing well. I wanted to write to you regarding your question. You asked about bullying and harrassment and that does not come from family. Whoever these people are, you guys are destined to have mutual ancestoral history, just that. Only blood connection and no emotional ties. They are not entitled to your time or your attention. You have to feel empowered enough to be able to not give them what they are not entitled to. And that comes with money/financial independence and education. You need not be under their financial or any other kind of burden. Money and awareness/education will give you power to be able to avoid them or tell them what they are doing is not unacceptable. Once you have these, you are sorted. You will not take any shit from anyone yourself. If any conventional ways of society forces you to stay with them and they are going out of hand, it is only your mental strength that can give you peace - either by speaking back or ignoring. You have to have a strong heart to be able to not get affected by them or decide to move out of your house.
Just saw your reply. Thanks so much for so much insight. Appreciated
20:01 kenny: even your dream job isn't lovely So 🤷♀️**gulps down a huge chunk of water**
Kenny just casually throwing facts in our faces.
Hi Kenny, could you please re-order your simple Ken playlist in chronological order? My obsessive side is eating me up :') Please :')
lmao😂
Hi Kenny!
Happy to see a public figure give out realistic opinions than framing idealistic expectations in viewers which may or may not happen. I'm a practicing Licensed Clinical Psychologist since the past 5 years now, and wanted to shed some light regarding how to choose the right therapist and who can call themselves a "Psychologist" in India:
1. Before approaching a therapist, know what you're looking to be helped with. For daily life problems, a Counselling Psychologist would do. But for anything on the lines of Clinical Depression, Anxiety, OCD etc. can only be worked upon with the expertise of a Clinical Psychologist.
2. Once you've understood the difference, always go through the credentials of the therapist, have a look at the work they've put in and lastly make a list of your expectations out of someone you'd be sharing your most insecure and vulnerable self with. Based on these checks, no one therapist will fit all. Get on a consultation call or go have 2-3 therapists on trial to see who fits your boat the best.
3. The most important part, who can call themselves a "Psychologist". Please don't confuse self-proclaimed life coaches or motivational speakers for therapists. The minimum qualification to not just call yourself but also practice as a therapist is a MA in the specific field of Psychology, just a BA won't do. The same follows suit for a Clinical Psychologist, with the only difference, they should hold a 'license number from RCI" to even call themselves a Clinical Psychologist, only a MA in Clinical Psychology is not enough.
Please make an informed choice as it's a matter of your life more than money. Just like you wouldn't ignore your physical heath to a point of no recovery, please save up to invest in mental health too. Also, the get the 'best" therapist, please don't shy away from shelling out the fees which is worth the time and effort they put into helping you navigate your life.
Hope this helps!
Love & light,

Omg! Just realised how much I missed that calming intro and your soothing voice in the last few roller-coaster months... 🥺
Thanks for coming back with another LROYT. God Bless You 💜💜💜
Why sorry da ❤️😊
#simpleken hey Kenny how you doing? I want to know yours views about birthday depression. From last 3 4 birthdays I have been noticing this pattern that I overthink the day before about have I achieved Amy thing compared to people my age. Or I am upto the expectation people have or even I have with myself. Also that do I deserve all this and why can't I be happy on my birthday? I ruined all my birthdays just acting weird and not wanting to celebrate it. When I say I don't want to do anything people around me get disappointed and all the shitty stuff I am just irritated with birthdays now. Is this a real thing? Or am I only the one? Love your work. Take care
I definitely agree with this long recording of being therapeutic. I don't watch videos or podcasts like these before because of a shitty attention span. I admit, and deeply ashame, I skip the intro. But after two months of binge-watching Simple Ken, I'm now a fan of podcasts!And long recording of someone talking of course. I would never skip the intro anymore cause I might not hear it for the next two years. Much love from the Philippines!
Hi Kenny,
Love your work! I have a couple of questions for you.
1. As someone in their late 20s, I get a lot of these pressurizing questions like When are you getting married, When are you settling down etc. I haven't found my person yet and I want to wait a while before thinking of other options. Have you faced such pressure from family or friends (as you are also in that age range) and if so, how do you deal with it?
2. What is the best advice you can give to people in their 20s? Is it really the end of the good life once we become 30? All movies and music market the 20s as this golden period of life after which its all downhill. Is that true?
And finally, I'm sure you, like the rest of us, have been in love and whatnot. What is the greatest lesson you have learned about love and relationships? What do you look for in a relationship now as opposed to 10 years ago?
I enjoy the occasional bout of introspection and I like to pick people's brains, so thought I'd ask. Totally cool if you want to skip any haha.
Keep doing great work man. Appreciate it.
#simpleken
Hey Kenny, loved your take on "happiness is too one dimensional". What you said, actually makes sense, never thought of it that way! It's amazing how I'm evolving as a person with each episode. Lots of ❤
hey kenny , ik ur reading this lol cuz u keep saying that u read all comments. ur thoughts on the newer generation kinda shocked me- , mostly cuz i started thinking very negatively of this generation for how it sometimes it looked selfish , maybe it was a personal stuff but i realised through u that there are things which our generation is doing which is litreally so nice but at the next moment u see someone being very immature . i think mostly this is cuz of the "bad side " of internet . also i wanted to thank you so much for always advising (one useful thing abt this long recording ) to get therapy , the only reason why i feel happy today was through someone posting a long recording of talking , so thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Life doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be lived. - Dexter 😌
Hey Kenny, you've been a great personality and influencer throughout your grown career as a comedian and over-all as an artist. Just love your stand-up so much ❤️ and started watching these podcast, loved it too 🔥. It's awesome👌🏻. It's all your call abt the breaks or busy schedule, still gonna watch you... 😊
I took arts, I followed my dreams. I'm still confused 😂 I'm doing exactly what I wanted, but it still feels like I'm lost. Honestly, this is a part of life and you need to find things that help you stay happy. Don't put the pressure of happiness on your career!
Hey Kenny ! Thank you so much for showing up after such a long gaaaaap !!!
"Happiness is one dimensional"
Best thing I've heard in a very long time!
i was ubaluing dhoodh and here's next simple Kenn!!
Hi Kenny, one question. Stick till the end. First of all, big fan since 5 years, smth.
I'm a medical student in my 2nd year in Europe. Came here in Dec 2020. I totally agree with you on "even dream jobs" have things you don't like. Similar to mine, being a doctor has been my dream since I was 8. And I soon realised this bitter truth of life. If any one Asks me for advice, I tell that "DO ANYTHING but mainly for the sake of doing it" if it pays you well, good for you but if it doesn't, (sadly for many ppl) look out for a source of income and pursue your "passion" like a Weekend hustle, don't leave main job, until you can scale it up.
My question is (quite existential) : is it really fair that we mind (sorta complaining) about all these problems (coming from a place of privilege) when there's an entire city of children sleeping empty stomach??
Kenny going silent reading Nevertheless's question where it mentions "art is for those who are not good at anything..." is epic 😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone deserves a long break, and this is coming from a person who has had no breaks in the last 10 years.
But one day I will, and that will be the last day I will work under someone as a slave.
Although I can apply for say 10 days break, but knowing that I will have to return to that fucking office after the break ruins the entire leave.
I truly agree😊
Even though we all are eager in looking forward for Simple Ken, we all should understand that Kenny is a Human too.... He too can get tired of Things, he too can get stressed out and he too NEEDS A BREAK! The time doesn't matter, it is the Recovery Process which matters... Some people can just recover from being stressed within hours while Some people will take years to cope with it. (Personal Experience talking here😁)
He knows we want Simple Ken but also we should understand him that He's doing all of these for us and not only for himself... Remember the second episode with Kanan?! He said "I'm doing things mostly for the people and the audience". He's doing everything for us but we are just stressing him out more.
He's such a Gem and a Hard working Person. My head hurts when I think of losing my sleep for others for 10 Whole Years! I said that Next Year is too much of time but if the next episode comes out Next Year, I won't be angry on him... Instead, I'll just watch the episode 😂 Because we all should understand that the happy Kenny Sebastian in the video is not the only Kenny Sebastian....
He too have problems. And we shouldn't be increasing more problems and putting more pressure on him by simply asking to do the next episode regularly. Instead we should understand and support him if he's going through some bad phase of life❤️
Just remember Ken 😊
We love you for who you are 😁
Love you and Take Care ✨
Hope you enjoy your break when you get one:))
This is so therapeutic!! I loved that Kenny gives a reality check too, so not trying to pamper you but still showing things as they simply are (or atleast giving you one of the many perspective of things), and life in general. Absolutely loved this one💙
Now that Mr sebastian(love ya) has found a partner to deal with life's existential questions to have long talks with.........does this podcast even play a role in his life?
Note - My dp is from habitat, where I met you! I performed in the Open mic also that day (music wala tho). You came by an Auto, and the person who was with me there judged you saying "auto se aaya kenny? I expected better" XD. Auto is India's national vehicle, that didn't even make sense to me personally
Also, you had left your macbook open on the table with your youtube account open. Itni chull hui, but control kia maine. I had'nt come across your comedy till that point but the whole group I was there with recognised you and all of us got a photo with you. I hate group norms, but now that i like you i cherish the story xD
Has it really been six months since the last episode? I remember the last one like it was yesterday. Time is weird in the pandemic years.
Haha it's because we never stopped binge watching his Videos 😂
Word of the day : nevertheless
Haha yeah 🤣
Thanku yr...
For answering questions with truly honesty....
What u feel..
On family what u spoke
Really relatable...
I mean thanku yr...💛
I was just thinking about simpleken a few days backkk!! Sooo happy to see the new episode! 💓💓
and taking a break is totally okay and is actually good. So, don't worry Kenny, we got your back!!
Hey Man!
Great stuff out there. Well guess what I have too have something to ask that I was thinking about for a long time. Whenever I dislike someone, I compare things which I do and they do. I just try not to act like them even though it is the right thing at that moment. I regret if I do the same thing. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Thank you. Keep it coming:)
Kenny : this is a long recording....
Showname : Simple Ken PODCAST.
My parents and my brother who are all science peeps always thought it would be easy for me as a PCMB student to take BA in English literature. But it was hard and I showed to them our struggle. And they don't understand half of what I write or say. Especially after graduation. Now, they get it. Every career is hard in its own way.
Thanku Kenny. Our friend via dopamine.
🌼🙂
As a mental health professional, just clarifying a few things about therapy -
1. Please choose to go to a therapist with at least a Master's degree. Undergraduates are not supposed to be offering therapy services. Unfortunately, there is no regulating body in India for therapists. So you will have to do your own due diligence before choosing a qualified therapist.
2. Only 0.8% of the budget is allotted for the mental health industry and the ratio of therapists to people is 1:100000
Thank you 😄
Thank you for the info 🙏🏻
#simpleken ...Im gonna try one more time coz you told not to lose the serendipity...i have no idea what it means but ya..lol..i tried thrice 11 months ago apparently..ahh how time flies.. i love you sooo much kenny....youre really a veryy good person and i immediately feel good after watching your videos....i just wanna ask what if nothing works out like you planned and imagined it would?....im just 16..yaa lol...and i wanna make my mom proud a lottt....its my one goal in life...and its the little things like marks prizes whatsoever...and i work hard for it and expect sooo much and still dont get it...so like does faith have to do with anything that we do for it to be successful or is it solely based on our hard work alone?..ik god is a sensitive topic but i really need help...pls replyyy...once again ilysm..mwahh
First viewer. You are a superb comedian
For the first question
if only one has a room to herself/himself. They can be in that space and do the things they love in that space and neglecting the other stuffs (which is tough ik) bt gradually you won't be Giving a damn about them.. just don't interact
Hey Kenneth,
I write this with utmost love and admiration for you...
Saying 'the audience that watches stand up does not follow/watch this long recording of you talking' seems like an unfair assumption when the man doing all that kickass standup and improv is the same guy making this long recording.
You probably just have a sincere following and community of your own, with individuals ready to receive as wide a bandwidth of content as you offer.
Much love
That’s very kind, thank you ♥️
Only my soul knows how long I've been waiting for this !! ❤️
I wanted to ask a question but it was already answered in this long recording. And I’m so happy to see many others in the same age group thinking alike and facing similar problems and dilemma. Tbh I’m a little pissed that when my friend gives me this advice I do not listen and when Kenny says the same thing I’m like yeah, this makes total sense! 🤣
Welcome back Kenny!
"not much, within inflation" XDDDD Felt nice watching this. Have a good day!
Hey Kenny, been watching your videos since comicstan. I am a 15 year old in my 10th grade. And honestly I don't know what I'm good at or what I really like . I think I'm good at developing football tactics, but since football never gets representation in this country, I have no benchmark to compare myself with. So my question is what do you think i must do after my 10th boards, how to find your passion And do you think studying what you're going to do in your career is overhyped? Considering that you're doing something completely different from what you studied in college.
See let me tell u from experience what u choose now as ur stream may or may not where u finally end up in ur career..these are just baby steps to realizing where u want to direct ur life.. if ue into science take bio math as u can choose anything after that..and if u aren't u have so many interesting options to explore..keep reading up on what all possibilities each stream offers.. ans lastly ur board exam scores matter a lot while choosing ur stream
*Believe in Serendipity*

Kenny! Leaving a toy car in the background. Is that your way of telling us that you have a child.
Simple ken is not a podcast
It's a feeling
It's an emotion
It's love ❤
Thank you kenny
Was waiting for this one
So different while doing stand up and simple ken..I wonder what are you off camera
Yo thanks for believing in us (the new generation)
U sound like a palleelachan( Church father)😬
Hey Kenny
I've been thinking about art and creation, and its relationship with being a source of income.
As a kid, I used to read about rock bands that made really good edgy music. As soon as they get signed to a record label, their music deteriorates, and the suits take over.
What is your opinion on creating art for extrinsic rewards or using the art one creates to earn a living?
Is art created in exchange for an extrinsic reward in any way different from one created for the sake of it?
#simpleken
I think..as humans were constantly in search of some change..some movement..the moment stagnation takes over it gets hard to keep doing it..if art is what gives u ur ikigai(reason reason wake up) follow it with all ur heart then and see where it lands u..also practically thinking it is true that art as a career is a bit of a gamble..and honesty when money is involved things get complicated..ur comment reminds me of that rock band..nirvana
Dearest kenny ,
I read somewhere teenage is a long road of thrones and twigs . It makes you feel insecure lost and confused . I myself feel it is true in all sense . Now that people are wrapped in their houses , I also heard comments from my friends their mental health is deteriorating and insecurities sometimes make them feel as losers . What were your insecurities when you were growing up .. how did you overcome it ..and what is your opinion about mental health and teenagers
I must tell you that I like your podcast because its damn relatable with ordinary life . You're doing a good job . Stay blessed kenny!

If that's a PS5 back there 😂 I might have to sneak in 😂 It's just by the door available to be taken 😂
Hey Kenny! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing these long recording of you talking, really keeps me going and thinking and it's also helping me in developing better analytic outlooks on things. Thanks man! Hope you are feeling better!🌼

oh, do you know how dull my life was without simple ken????? do you?????????? YOU DON'T! Thanks for not forgetting this community
Yayyyy!!!😍😍😍Thanks for being back.. Loved the looonnngg talk 💗 I'm curious about the title of the book you're currently reading..
Aaaaahhh!!!!!!!! Yesssss! Holy shit dude...made my morning!
i'd be happy to be a househusband ik its a lot of work but i think its great #EncourageHouseHusbands
"In the morning, mind is nice and fresh like a poha!" said a wise man once.
BIG DECISION AT YOUNG AGE
Damn! How great that would be if someone could tell me exactly the same thing, when I was looking for someone to talk about if I should quit this course after putting 5 yrs. Of my time.
There wasn't no one, and took the wrong decision, just listening to some random motivation thing...
That might not work as well, so we need to consider all possible scenario, so please decide with calm and don't look for motivation all the time, try to be practical as well...
Whoever commenting first, here's your Medal 🏅
എവിടെ ആയിരുന്നു 😂wr wr u?
I listen to the audio version of "long recording of kenny talking" in the morning...while traveling and then I watch the whole recording on youtube while having my dinner, haha! Thats how calming and therapeutic this is. Thanks a lot Kenny
#simpleken
I'm believing in serendipity ( you said something like this😅) and commenting.....
If you are avoiding some important work you have to do ... But then you make your will some how very difficulty and you sit for doing it but one or other family member disturbs you.....how to deal with it....I hate when someone disturbs me while I'm doing something important that is boring for me . But how the hell it happens every single time 😐. Everytime I sit for studying some one comes and.... BOOM 💥.and the timing is so perfect that they teleport at the just time I read firt word 😭😭....
I know you must be thinking this is a small issue but for me it's .....😐.
Even if you didn't take this question in video please answer here .
I'm believing in serendipity
Close the door..let everyone know ur doing something that's important to you..I promise they ll understand:)
@@gayathrisuhas6087 I will try it , Thank you 😊
I watch Simple Ken to improve my vocabulary. IDK if it is weird.
Nope it's not at all weird 😁 My Vocabulary has improved 3000x so Join the Club 😂
Kenny, thanks for uploading this video was stressed by work, it's Monday and your video will smoothen this day out ♥️
Hi kenny,
Thank you for finally uploading ❤️
First of all, If you don't like people calling it a podcast, WHY HAVE YOU TITLED IT AS PODCAST?
The nation wants to know.
Anyway, I love watching these long recordings, i started watching your content when i was in 10th standard, now I'm 22.
Dating rules indian guys need to follow was the first ever video I watched of yours and i remember sending it to my then boyfriend because I thought it was hilarious and him taking offense for some reason. That relationship was very toxic and he stalked and threatened me when I ended things with him. When I think about that relationship i sometimes remember how he took offense over a comedy video, and how I should've know then.
Since then, I've watched you sing, draw and ofcourse perform comedy.
So anyway, do you ever wonder how you impact other people's lives in ways you don't even know, how many stories or memories you're part of that you may have no idea about, it's kind of amazing and scary to think about. How does it feel to be famous is what my question is, I think.
Thank you. And I love watching you.
#simpleken
Ur question is super unique! And ur right we go on touching lives we have no idea about ..and maybe we never will..but think about the magnitude of impact just one person can make..so if u can channel all ur energy into being that light for the world..then it doesn't matter who or how many people u have impacted!
@@gayathrisuhas6087 nice thought!
oh my god, I was so scared that this show was gonna end....I watched every episode twice just to keep myself sane, this is probably my first comment ever and I just have to type this....... This year was super crazy for me not just because of corona and shit but like ya last few months were just not that good and that was when I discovered
#simpleken I was listening to it while doing like everything studying, eating, writing, reading..... whenever I didn't want to study I used to listen to it and it used to motivate me I don't know what it was but listening to you somehow gives me an assurance that everything is gonna be fine.
I had so many questions but at this moment I am just getting super emotional anyway comming toward my question, I am kind of into dark comedy and stuff but whenever I say something about death in front of my parents(of course not the extreme stuff) but like just some jokes and shit they get super serious and starts asking about what type of people I am hanging out with or what type of stuff I am reading or watching.....like even if I am just a little sad they directly assume I am depressed and okk they want to help me but the solution they come up with is that all these problems are due to my lifestyle that I don't exersice enough I don't follow a correct sleep schedule that when they were kids they didn't face such types of problems... again maybe I am overreacting and they are just trying to help me but still it makes me uncomfortable its like getting inferirioty complex about your own parents and I want to convey it to them but they will just say that I am getting rebellious......what should I do?
#simpleken
Great question and Welcome to the Club, Sis😁
Being into dark comedy and stuff are not a pretty bad thing. The world is revolving and Everything is just becoming great day by day. But the only thing which can't be changed is the society we live in is far more away from the true reality...
TBH, I was a girl who was very taboo talking about periods, sex and stuff. Even I was very scared about using swearing Words out in public. But then I got to know that I'm not controlling myself, it's the society which is controlling me. Then I broke out from it and now I'm much more myself. I watch dark stuff, I talk about periods and sex so openly and publicly without fear. And I'm happy. Even though I get faces when I talk about them, I don't care. Because we are the new generation which is gonna rule the world! We break all the shitty stereotypes the world has made.
But unfortunately, our parents are still binded with the stupid society and stereotypes. And they think we get influenced by each and every thing we see or we get involved, which is not true at all. I do watch dark comedy and enjoy them but that doesn't mean I do the stuff said in it such as sex. I just enjoy it as a content but I don't implant in my life! Like I'm just 18 😂😂😂. But we can't do anything about it. ANYTHING!!! Trust me, I have tried and the only one thing which happened was me giving up😅
Parents have this thing that they are perfect in every way and they expect us to be just like them... But we can't, because we are not them. You are Gargi and I'm Swetha. We are ourselves and we can't be just like our parents. Yes of course, we might have the same characteristics of our parents and we might behave like our parents in certain situations. But that never means that we can just be like our parents. We know it but they don't and they expect alot from us.
Believe me, not only ur parents, every Indian parents will definitely bring up the topic "When I was young", "During our Days when we were a Child".... I know it's very irritating and annoying, but what can we do other than being quiet and act like we are listening to them 😅
But until we are old enough to move out (just like Kenny did), we can't change their perspective on Life which is not tangible with the real world today. Our perspective is different and their perspective is way more different.....
I'm happy that your are trying to help you but the solution they come up with is indeed pretty lame 😅 Even my parents say the same thing, but your parents are trying to help you while mine are just nagging at me 😂
Talking about dark stuff with parents are the most scariest thing in the world and I don't know how you get the courage to do it so 😅 If I did it, I know I'll be dead the very next day(Not being sarcastic 🙂). I did it once though and you don't know how much they scolded me and I was crying non stop for a Week. But then I became more cautious about what should I tell my parents and what should I not tell my parents.
And yes! It does feel hell uncomfortable when our own parents don't understand us that nothing is wrong with us. Conveying it to them can be very hard. I don't if this is the the right way and I'm not saying that this is what you should do (Because I'm no one to force you 😊). This is just my point of view. Pick a day on when ur parents are in a great mood or spend the entire day with them with a happy vibe, then sit down and talk about ur problem to them. But don't get straight to the point! Just talk about normal stuff and navigate slowly to the topic you wanna talk about. It does take a lot of skills and effort to do this and I learned this the hard way, but I personally feel that this is only way you can talk to ur parents about ur feelings.
If they understand you, it's great👍🏻
But if they don't, don't worry too much🤗 You can always have your friends to talk about ur feelings. But it'll become a big issue if you don't share ur emotions with someone. At least have one person in ur life to talk about it. Like a friend, sibling, or relative just anyone. If there's someone like that in ur life, then you are sorted Buddy. Not just about feelings, but you can talk about anything you want with them like dark comedy.
I hope Kenny takes up your Question to see his point of view 🤗
Until then, Take Care Sissy 💕

Hi kenny I am 17 currently , I have been listening to your your long recordings since episode 1 . I have tried a few other podcasts but I never found myself to be enjoying it as much i do yours. My question is even though my parents spend so much time for my education and money for buying me things that I want and need, there seem to be an inseparable ridge between us .I am much happier spending time with my friends to the point where I loathe family trips . I find myself unable to have a deeper bond with them , most of my conversations seem to be dry or boring especially with my father since he is a very conservative person i cant talk about anything ' fun ' or ' interesting ' because of the generation gap . I know i don't have the ability to change their personalities but I crave a more intimate bond with them . What are your thoughts about this matter ?
So so happy to just see this! Thank you so much.. Also, a break can be as long as you need it for
Do your duties for your family...help them in need but you Don't have to "love" them...or feel guilty for not spending time.
Thank u for this kenny🙃❤
@kenny, the simple Ken videos feel so calming and relaxing to watch cause I feel it such a ‘chai pe charcha’ type of conversation. I have been watching your content since I was around 15/16 and now I’ll turn 24 in another 6 months. And through all of this, my thoughts and views about things are changing and evolving. So the way I look at things has changed so much and I don’t think I’d be able to relate to this 6 years ago but now I do understand some of where your views come from. And it’s crazy how much a person evolves every year and with every experience. I have watched your stand up, live shows as well as simpleken and this community itself feels so different. It feels so homely so unique (can’t find the right words tbh) but if I’d to come up with something similar I’d say, listening to simple ken everytime you upload a video would be like listening to your grandma telling you tales as a kid. Ofc you won’t relate to everything but it makes you homesick for the person for whom you probably would be a username and a tiny display picture. I have lost my train of thought but I hope I managed to explain even a bit of what this long recording of you does for us. It’s calming and it seems like a constant in this whole *adulthood sucks but you are going to love it* scheme of life
Really loved your last line 😂 (Friends reference? 🤔😊)

Hi Kenny this weekend makes me excited to see your videos after a long time
So, i was listening to you yesterday night, but i slept like in just 5 minutes. Played it this afternoon and slept again for an hour 😂 now i have played it for the third time ..And i feel sleepy again.
Kenny thanks for making us feel so homely and cosy ..That it calms my anxious mind and puts me to sleep.
Keep going!🌺
Thank you so much!🥺❤️
7:26 - This is something that really makes sense. Thank you for this perspective .
Thanks Kenny, I'm skipping brushing my teeth to get to this :)
take as many long breaks you want till you keep giving ussuch amazing content
😁
Also kenny, I was reading through the description and you haven't included NNN app in the major audio podcast platforms where Simple Ken is available.?! Why so? 🤨
Hey Kenny! Just a few days back, I was wondering what I'd listen to on my walks, once I finished all the episodes of Simple Ken. But, then, you released a new episode, and I was so glad! These long recordings helped me put some things into perspective, especially at times when I was frustrated that no one could get me. It felt like a conversation with one of my friends.
I took psychology as an elective in college, and now whenever I see someone reacting in any way to an issue, I've started going, "This person has probably been treated like this, so they're reacting like that" or "It's childhood trauma". I'm an engineer, and not a professional psychologist as I took that subject for only one semester. But ever since my friends and I started introspecting a lot, I began trying to analyze and understand why people behave the way they do, which just raises thoughts like that sometimes. When I tried to psychologically analyze my family's behavior everywhere after that, it released a whole new can of worms, because damn, Indian parents have issues! I know I shouldn't have done it XD. Now, I feel like almost everyone needs therapy, if we're going by the standards in the more developed countries. What do you think about this?
Btw, Thank you so much for the not-therapy-but-still-therapeutic-recordings! I heartily wish you the best for the future!! #simpleken
