I have been seeing Kenny and Kanan for so long that I had this thought that - it is like Kenny is meeting a newer version of Kanan. Here's why I think that - in most of the previous talks they had, Kenny has been very protective of Kanan's self deprecating humour and always countered it with feel good thoughts about Kanan (like a supportive protective brother). And now in past few months or maybe year, Kanan has started to accept himself more which has made him be bold of who he is and how he perceive things. The growth Kanan has done is amazing! Love you both!

This was such a lovely thing to say. Wholesome vibes.

A true 'Act of God' would be Kanan dropping the single most paradoxical anecdote of all time -'Life is like being stabbed with an icicle and the murder weapon has melted away but the wound is still there'

"Life spent in misery is a life wasted" - Kanan Gill I need to read this everyday! Putting it on my wall.

I don't care how much planning and hardwork Kenny has put in. I firmly believe I have singlehandedly manifested it by watching the previous Kanan and Kenny episodes back to back last night.

Kanan's nosepin is lighting up my day! It suits his face so well. Great conversation!

Was just thinking last night why aren’t there more episodes of simpleken. I love listening to simpleken when i feel lonely. It's as if you are sitting with a bunch of friends. Thanks for the pod Ken. Also bring back Biswa pls.

I self produce this show. It comes from genuinely being excited to do it rather than doing it like a job. That’s why every episode is legit special to me. It’s not me trying to tick make my content homework rather genuinely looking forward to talking about things that have been simmering in our minds :)

I wish Kanan had a podcast of his own where he can promote his book... Oh wait a minute

what

i can listen to kanan and Kenny talking for like forever ❤

I think when people are not laughing at your jokes in both of your cases. They are just thinking deeply about what you are trying to convey. Because with Kanan's recent special i felt extremely at home. We are all in the same crisis. You made us think deeply about life. And I think you should simply put forth you ideas there is audience out there for every single thought! With the kind of intellectual and creative mindset you guys have. You cannot go wrong with your ideas. It is brilliant how you manage to share philosophical views through comedy. What an art form❤

I can't believe Kanan has white hair now. Feels like just yesterday we were watching him be a young kid making pretentious movie reviews. How the time flies😢

Kanan is so matured. It's great to come across people with a different calibre. And coming across different kinds of people here is so great.

Kanan sounds so much like David Lynch who says ideas are like fishing in the ether around you, you just need to catch it and when you do, you revel in it. I really enjoy people who truly enjoy their craft with depth and devotion. Even thinking about it makes me happy that he enjoyed every sentence flow through him like a moving picture. Hope to get my hands on the blossom soon.

Always ready to listen to this duo. Thanks, Kenny, for this delightful conversation.

Hey Kenny, long time fan. We are comics from Ahmedabad and grew up along with the Indian stand-up scene. We made a video dissecting Kanan's 'there is a cow' joke as a way of giving back to the stand-up community. As a fellow comedy nerd, I'm sure you'll love it.

favourite, favourite people. can listen to them talk for hours. beautiful. thank you so much for this.

Duuuuuuuuuuuudes , what a journey that we have witnessed all the way up to this point, just so happy on a Tuesday morning looking at you two !!

I'm definitely going to read your book Kanan. Congratulations! And thanks, Kenny, happy to 'follow' you!!!!!

THIS EPISODE ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY!!!! I JUST LOVE WATCHING & LISTENING TO KANAN GILL TALK ON YOUR SHOW.😍😍 AND HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH KENNY IS SO WONDERFUL & PURE❤ I'm just having a huge fangirl moment rn!😂😂😂

I dont know why exactly but Kenny, Kanan and Biswa and other stand up comics who hang out with these guys seem more mature and emotionally intelligent than the Rohan Joshi, Tanmay Bhatt group that comes across as more hyper, seeking validation and dwelling in populism. Love you Kenny!!

Kanan is just so intelligent! Can’t wait to read the book.

I've been missing your duo since Kanan's book came out and then I see this in the notifications! Always a pleasure to see y'all. Thank you for being.

Love love LOVE this duo! I always get excited to see any video that has Kannan & Kenny in it. Been a huge fan of both of you since the start! 🔥💖❤

Two of my most favourites ❤. I attended both of ur shows at SITRA, coimbatore and just attended Kanan gill experience in Trivandrum a week ago. Two intelligent people sitting and talking 😮

Thank you Kenny! It is always lovely to see you both together on screen! I saw, I clicked!!! Love❤ #simpleken

DUDE I can't believe this content is for free, I feel grateful for it. Thank you K boys

It felt good to be reminded that we are not alone, we all are going through some kind of shit, whoever we are, wherever we are. Thanks brothers❤. And will read this book soon.

I CANT WAIT!

Love LOVE their friendship!! The moment Kenny said that he feels the purpose of his podcast in a way fulfilled by promoting his friend’s book made me emotional..

Exactly the purpose of simple Ken is met today , congrats Kannnan, unbelievable, at such young age! Wow!

Thank you Kenny!

Such an emotionally and intellectually captivating talk. Definitely grabbing Kanan's book asap, by the jacket collar ofc

The scab analogy really made me think. I had such a pleasant time listening to this podcast and it made me smile. Thanks for sharing this Kenny and Kanan

Just love these 2 together ❤

Difficult entertainment is real ! Thank you for articulating this !

I really love the chemistry you guys have. I loved this talk very much. You guys are very inspiring. ❤

It's always so lovely to see Kanan and Kenny together just randomly talk about anything ❤❤❤

It was so nice to see Kanan and Kenny in one frame, discussing life and cool things like Kanan's book and making it super hilarious.....Just like the old times💛💛

Sometimes the things said by you guys in a completely different context provides so much calmness to a random stranger (like me) for an entirely different thing that I have been thinking about a lot internally. I am just glad that I can listen to you guys talk it is so soothing :)

This is such a nuanced conversation dude, really good

Oh man, the part where kanan explains how he got to the process of writing this book is so fucking legit. I mean all of us do go through something like this, in whatever field we’re in, when we get a breakthrough, and it’s hard to explain it to someone else, ‘cause you know they’ll think you’re stupid. But damn, he made it sound like it’s so common! This is part of the reason why I love simple Ken! Insane man! Congrats to kanan on the book, can’t wait to read it and be mind blown! (Time stamp: 56:00)

Man!! So excited!

Getting my hands on the book ❤ Congratulations to Kanan on becoming an Author 🎉 I love writing and I write almost everyday because I love it since I was in School and college and I have so much to write. Relatable to what Kannan used to go through in his college days. This podcast motivates me to continue writing even though I am currently in a career which is totally opposite to writing. Seeing Kannan's dream come true makes me feel that my dreams have come true ❤

What a fun watch this was. Not only are you guys my most favorite stand up comedians and it's a joy to hear about your journey but this time around you brought nostalgia for me . I have been watching you guys for about 9-10 years now on youtube, and I can see the stark difference, the level of maturity and poise you guys have gained over the years. And that made me realize I have grown too. and I missed home and that time of my younger self watching you guys. What a trip down memory lane! Love you and bless you! :)

Great podcast really enjoyed the conversation it's like one of the vedios that are running on laptop and ur scrolling suddenly you hear something and watch the full episode keenlyy😮😮😂

so happy to be watching Kanan in the podcast after a long time

Oh my god such an awaited video!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love these two

Thanks you so much. Some of kanan's answers really helped me.

Kanan love your line of .. just write a book you want to write ❤! You both make such great conversations. you should do it often.

What a therapeutic episode. Simple flowy conversation between the 2 OG comics! 🎉

The most charming duo 🤗♥️

kenny literally suffering from momentary existential introspection while speaking to kanan! like same bruhh

It's always lovely to see Kenny and Kanan together! ❤

Doing this today😂😂 Gr8 PR for both of you. Smart move 👌

Love this duo❤

You guys are the best!

Kanan you've earned at least one reader through this podcast. Thank you for promoting it. And by the way, I loved your writing in your stand-up special "Is It Real?". Please keep writing and performing :) :)

This banter is amazing :) It's amazing to see how your minds work.

Hey Kenny, Thank you for taking my question Love you and Kanan so much, definitely going to buy his book Thanks again tho, made my day

I can listen to Kanan talk for hours together!

Love this❤

love this!

Absolutely loved this conversation! Kanan sounds like he's simplifying the Bhagwad Gita for us 🤭 Very interesting thoughts and an even better way of expressing them. Can't wait to read his book. Thank you for this episode 😊

That 'trap' statement at 1:08 was a joke so delightfully nuanced. Top notch stuff!

As a Bengali woman , thank you for validating us Kenny :)❤ Ps - I wanna marry Kanan’s brain . He’s so witty and cohesive in the way he thinks and articulates his thoughts.

Such a great episode man ❤ I love Kenny and Kanan

Everyone needs a friend like Kenny ❤

kanan gill is giving off a big norm macdonald vibe (and that's the best compliment i can give anyone!)

I received the book while listening to the podcast!🎉

Thank you for a beautiful episode! I am 28 years old. It is exciting and challenging to describe, to some extent, the feeling of growing up with you. I remember I started following during my college days late BA-MA with Pretentious movie reviews, chai talks to you guys, getting your specials on Prime and Netflix to now asking the same existential questions and seeing you guys talk about it on screen. It's been almost 9+ years. I believe today's episode captures the decade's journey. I am a linguist (not a content creator, but the experiences you both shared still overlap). I have gone through marriage, divorce, depression, and moving to another country and life in general over the last decade, but you guys are passive companions. As Kanan mentioned, I feel it's pretty strange to be human, and we have unique problems, but at the same time, it feels like humans have been asking similar questions across time and space/ location, so we are not that unique. I am trying to figure out stuff, but “Yes, same bro” was helpful and reassuring. I loved Kanan’s latest special, but I love your earlier specials, too. I am still pulling out Kanan’s siblings and driving lessons bit in the USA in 2024 and saying there is a cow. How do you cross? And laughing at it for the 400th time. (India is still struggling to cross and progress due to Nandini still standing there lol) Kenny, I love your music teacher, harmonium, and guitar bit. I can see some comments now and more coming, which might say the conversation feels a bit awkward, but I think you both are growing, and this was a more vulnerable and original conversation than just a book promotion-on-screen talk. I also think you are finding a healthy balance with social validation where you don’t want to define yourself based on social validation (ideal therapy version). Still, you are also in the field where it's a big part of your everyday life. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but I feel I have gone through the Extrovert to Introvert shift, and I sense that with you, too. Kenny, I strongly agree that people who need to go to therapy don't go to therapy and have zero introspection. Because of them, other people around them need to go to therapy 😂 you were being sensitive and politically correct. I agree everyone needs it if it's from therapy but given the current world situation. Therapy is not accessible and available to everyone either due to a lack of professionals or due to financial constraints in this time less to no introspective people are the ones who should get therapy as compared to people who have a moral compass to question their actions 😅 but unfortunately that's not the reality. Upshot- Thank you for posting the video! Kanan thank you for inspiring everyone to write I journal a lot and usually get many ideas, and thoughts I can write about but never actually get to the writing stage due to lack of confidence and discipline and sometimes to due to as you described “hay hay thoughts are not coming to me” whining/entitlement so this was a good reminder to get over that. Lots of love to both of you and hope to be part of the passive companion through life in coming years ❤️

Ordered the book just now! Really excited for it

As someone who is just stepping into work life after engineering, a lot of this was feeling unrelatable and too esoteric in the beginning. My priorities currently are getting a great job and making the most of the opportunities given to me. However, watching Kanan talk about how a job is a job and how discipline helped him, I felt more in touch with the conversation. By the end, a lot of it felt like listening to more adult versions of me talk. Loved it :)

Of course it's episode 42. It IS the answer to everything.

Love you both 😘

Kanan! Now that's a collab I didn't expect.

It'll be sooooo cool to see a long recording of these two talking with a doctor in the panel! 😍 So many newer perspectives will come out for eighter ones!

After watching all of Kanan and Kenny content that has appeared on the inter webs through the last decade and more, I can confidently say, this one has to be the most relatable, enriching and wholesome conversation between two lovely friends, I seem to have found my own soul alignment with over the years. Really, you guys have been like comfort food to me and my friends. Always felt like I've known you all and we've hung out in alternate dimensions. Kanan you have established yourself dude. As so many things but at the core of it all, I always sensed a sort of cynically profound and witty writer that tuned into my being humorously. All thru, there have been some gems of improvised writing and performing in you and your crews work that's been inside jokes for my good kinspeepul. Thank you for sharing your observations with us all in the manner you articulate so well. Is this it was bomb as well, one of the best sets I've ever witnessed, and I don't say that lightly. There is a cornflower blue Maruti Omni and IMA Dehradun somewhere is our common narrative butts that's for another chapter. Kenny, keep being simple, love your long winded talks programme cultural events. ❣️ #Doordarshandoornahin
