Moving Forward Feat. Vir Das - Simple Ken Podcast | EP 37

[@philadelphiachr922]

I have about 200 questions to get through today and 14 hours of studying left, yet the minute this dropped, I stopped everything to take a breather. Vir was right, authenticity is something fans really honor because I wouldn't be doing this otherwise.

[@pradeepsaraswa7028]

Padhle bhai

[@meinmovingimage3193]

no shit bhai padhai karle

[@DrABC2025]

NEET PG?🥲

[@pranshusharma4642]

padh le bhai

[@Jsfhope]

I think u don't like to have eyebrows 🥲

[@pikichu01]

this man is so transparent with his art form, it is truly inspirational. Thank you Kenny for bringing him

[@kedarjoshi1706]

23:38 Kenny says "...touchwood..." and Vir actually does it. Quite wholesome!

[@ananyashree.s5631]

I liked watching kenny just fangirl over vir dass, just trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible

[@shreysht_]

vir is an actual expert at what he does i teared up at the end of his new special just because i genuinely felt the love he had for this art form. this conversation was nice to listen to

[@prxnxy]

At this point I have seen more Vir Das interviews/podcasts than comedy specials, still somehow this felt fresh and insightful. Kudos to Kenny for pulling this off !!!

[@allan2468ify]

The nice guy energy between both of them is so cute.

[@ektatuli1843]

Deep and intellectual conversations are so heartfelt.

[@Andrew-um6ny]

Consistency, preparation, and responsibility towards their audience - this seems like an overwhelming theme in this dialogue. Been a fan of Vir Das since the first time I listened to him. Thank you Kenny for this conversation and for this platform that you created!

[@poojabiswas2382]

🙂 in my head, this reads as Spider-Man Mets Tony Stark

[@JaydevRaol]

Haha perfect!

[@DrABC2025]

Yeahhhh ohmyyy sooo true!

[@artart8687]

Totaly. Sooooo cute .. it's amazing that only we can understand the cuteness in this comment n I can't explain this to my family

[@kardelenkartal5853]

My fav 2 comedians together chatting what a lovely day 🧡🧡

[@sreyabheemesh255]

Okay, this man doesn't look 43! But on a serious note, what a genuine and free-flowing conversation between my 2 favs!

[@BalrajGhai]

25:13 - to answer Vir's "back me up here" - Not being a comic I enjoy watching when you walk into the green room. Amongst the people who have been doing comedy only recently - there's at least one person who does not know how to break the ice, and one person who wouldn't want to because they're just happy listening. Amongst the ones who've been in this for a while - everyone enjoys a good catch up session and it's chill but I can feel as Kenny said some "spine straightening" 🤣 Nobody wants you to have a last memory of them which would be anything other than - that one's cool. It's not like the school Principal has come to hang out but more like someone who can be a doorway to immense wisdom and experience in the field. Thanks Kenny for having this lovely conversation with Vir. It was a pleasure watching you guys talk at the shoot and watching it again on KZbin. Lots of love.

[@DrABC2025]

It was so good to hear about their lives! Listening to Vir was so thought provoking and inspiring. Great job Kenny! Two of my favourite entertainers 🌻🥹

[@avinsortavdheshkumar1177]

My two best comedians in one frame. Thank you so much Kenny for inviting Vir.

[@siyaram2855]

To loosing to a guy in the start (unplanned) of your comedy carrier to having the same guy in your show. You have come a long way kenny. Proud of you 🙏

[@ganeshnarayanan590]

Damn i came in thinking vir das not that funny, gonna be a boring podcast. But GODAMM he has the most INTERESTING journey. Loved this podcast. Kenny you're awesome. Vir das you got a new fan.

[@kartikmisal2480]

Vir is so damn hardworking man , always makes me feel like I'm not doing enough and motivates me to do more and better !

[@sankhamazumdar356]

Vir Das on Kenny's and Conan's podcast on the same day !! This is amazing

[@keyur03]

"At your worst, you still gotta seem prepared." Oh boy, that's my takeaway. 💯

[@ccr6232]

The nakedness and the authenticity Vir bhaiya brings to the table is commendable. Learned a lot from it. Very informative very freshing and very genuine and real talk. Loved it and love yaaa Kenny always🫀you were like the toppers kid who got a chance to sit with a senior who had taken an examination and now you have to go through the same. 😂😭 loved your curiosity and damn awesome content. Thenk youuu for this🙏

[@sabinapulendranathan]

I missed this intro so much ♥️ I don't know how you find the time to work on videos when you're on a world tour. You really are something else! Amazing Kenny!😃 Love your dedication ! I don’t really know Vir Das but his last show on netflix was so intense! I respect him a lot for his opinions and for his courage. A fascinating guy. It was nice to see you together on screen. Thank you for this new episode :)

[@scholarmanish]

I wanna see Kenny in a nice Bollywood movie before I die.. I think he's gonna be just amazing..

[@Infinity_1111-AR]

Yaay !! 🥂 to Simple Ken 🤗❣️ Love you for being you Kenny

[@dayadevanathan4342]

Kenny asking amazing questions as a learning blueprint for his own already great comedy + Vir's insightful answers as a seasoned veteran who is still learning and is not afraid to take risks is magic ❤️

[@rutujasambhus]

Having lunch and listening to this conversation! Just simple as it gets!

[@robinversed]

Another lovely discussion. Thanks Kenny!

[@kunalchandaani]

1 hour felt like 10 minutes.. 2 nicest comedians in 1 frame.. Absolutely amazing.. ✌🏼 The QnA & whole conversation is pretty much intense yet very insightful & fruitful because of such enormous experience you guys carry in the same field. I totally loved this one. 👍🏼

[@KennySebastian]

Thank you so much for Being so kind Kunal! So glad you enjoyed this episode!

[@kunalchandaani]

@@KennySebastian The pleasure's all mine Kenny.. 😅 I most certainly watch everything you both upload on your respective channels.. 🤝🏼 Keep coming up with more of such amazing content bro 👍🏼👍🏼

[@suchmaiden]

I never thought i'd say this is such a great episode! Feels like both of you have evolved so much over time. I wish more podcasts were this honest.

[@avaneewaikar8719]

Wwhhhhoooaaa my two fav comedians of all time having a podcast!!!! What a treat :D

[@weirddude8608]

Was watching vir das interview on RANVEERs channel a few days back , and there was so much toxicity there. Everyone appreciating vir das in these comments is so nice and wholesome.

[@cognito8325]

Why?

[@hitarthvora9719]

Same experience here. You can tell the intellect difference between kennies fans and Ranveer’s. Kinda sad tho cuz most of Ranveer’s fanbase is around the age I’m at. Teenagers

[@vv2354]

Oh my god!!! This is going to be awesome 😍😍

[@rishireco]

More than his comedy, I'm a fan of Vir's Journey. 👏

[@VandanaBhaskar-fe3pp]

It's like seeing two worlds collide, my favorite comedians ❤

[@Roodyculous]

I didn't know you had an episode with vir. Thank you for making this Kenny ❤ and for all your podcasts. They make adulting tasks much easier and I get to learn a lot about life in general. Keep doing this and much love

[@mayankparmar6768]

Two of my favourites for whole one hour 🤌

[@pulkitmehta]

I can watch this all day. No idea where an hour went by, god!

[@ridz4912]

Two great legends in one room!

[@sumanchakraborty9097]

❤️vir das.. in conversation with kenny....it's a blast....

[@7himi]

This podcast is like 2 professionals discussing standup technicalities, very interesting to hear and watch !!

[@misrishahh]

revisiting simple ken! sometimes I cannot relate to the conversations on here but listening to them helps me ponder on situations I would not normally think about and in some way have a better mindset and outlook on everyday life. Thank you for having different opinions on here, including yours, and putting these videos out there. Loved every second of this one :)

[@nida1090]

Loved this conversation! So nice to see my two favourites in one frame, getting along and being vulnerable

[@HimangkarRob]

Gold content, picking vir's brain is what I had been waiting on

[@tanrtanr]

Absolutely adore how respectful Kenny is to all his guests.

[@dr.himani]

Good to see Vir here, and it's always a pleasure to listen to you Kenny. The thing you said about the vibe pretence is so true.

[@salonigupta217]

Sending love Kennyyy! I love this podcast. Amazing episode. Do one more with Vir! Non comic discussions with Vir can be super fun. Looking forward!

[@harinyrajadurai8100]

Two of my favorites in one frame ❤️

[@siddhantsingh3411]

Glad Vir Das got to witness at least a small fanboy moment from a fellow standup! Great content.

[@ankithatp6542]

One of the best episodes 🤌❤️ Vir Das

[@arpanbiswasx]

This podcast is so simple and fun👏

[@JaydevRaol]

Already listened to the audio version. Loved it! Looking forward to seeing this now. Great Questions Kenny! 👍

[@jhanviahuja7994]

What a beautiful conversation!

[@purvijain2306]

Woww two of my fav comedians together, what a brilliant long recording of you guys talking loved it

[@karishmayash9442]

Always wanted to comment and tell you how good you are! But never got around to doing it. Commenting now because this has been your best episode so far. You should have continued the episode till wherever it took you! It seemed like you’ll were having a great time and I’m sure I speak for all your fans when I say, so were we all ❤️ Two true icons :)

[@ADsocrates0010]

When 2 masters exchange words, simply just go with the flow..

[@melviinthakkar6143]

I bet Kenny learnt just as much as the audience in this one

[@kehkashanperveen4530]

2 of my favourites in on frame❤

[@nelenademi14]

Such a surreal episode 🤍 there are ton of people to criticize Vir Das but only few can beat his content/witty-ness he brings to stage! 🙌 Side note: noways does he look above 40 😂

[@RohithVirinchi]

Would love to see Kannan and Vir having a conversation about any random thing.

[@podclipstation]

#simpleken I am Arya and i turned 21 yesterday and long story short i dropped out of school in 11th to pursue photography, 4 years ago it was a pretty new thing for me and i asked my friend for his dslr for a year and graciously he lent it to me and spent the year just roaming around delhi clicking photographs, at that time all i ever wanted to do was take photographs, travel and meet new people which is a very naive way of thinking but oh well i was invincible i thought i'll make it work somehow. Fastforward to 2021 got a job and signed a contract for architecture photography i travelled all over India and met new people. Basically everything i wanted to do when i first started doing photography but along the way somehow the joy of photography died. It wasn't fun anymore, just another job. What do you do when you feel this? How do you overcome and rekindle that feeling and excitement of creating again ?

[@sakshisalvatore388]

I've been wanting to see you both together.... I love both of your works so much...

[@shaikhnoman71]

Last 20 minutes are so damn powerful.

[@hrithik4465]

Vir has had a great career, especially because it was made by scrubbing off overhyped unsmart poorly written jokes yet he came so far!! So inspirational!!

[@rishavsaha480]

Bruh u serious?

[@roshniguptarauniyar]

Two of the best ❤ love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@sahnidha]

He started looking like ayushman both real .. artistsss vir came so far ..💜

[@raginijaswal6940]

His Conan podcast is also coming out this week!

[@polkadots24]

Big fan of Kenny from Sri Lanka ♥️

[@chakrabortypc]

I can listen to vir for as long as he speaks

[@Vivek_Bhargava97]

Loved it, enjoyed the whole video got to learn and hear out great things, Love and Bliss to you Both 🌼❣️✨

[@jen.jijiseb]

Oh wow! When did this happen? I am so sorry I missed it. I am definitely watching this. Right after finishing my work. My favourite comedians together.

[@nirmitipandit4189]

I love love love this duo. More please :3

[@vv2354]

This was such an amazing and intersting conversation ❣️❣️ love how Kenny was like a student in a classroom with a legendary teacher..... I learnt a lot too❣️❣️ lovely it was

[@sarmi0021]

Such a deep & beautiful conversation between you two ☺️ Both of you are my favourite Made my day.. If you take my question thank you so much in advance. The question keep raising in my mind & I'm struggling to find the actual answer .. I'd like to hear your perspective .. on this.. How to not get stuck in past.. I mean past incidents.. trauma.. or even good overwhelming times.. that got stuck in your head and you're unable to get out of that bubble.. With time people changes.. situation changes.. and we know we have to get going but sometimes those things hold you back .. how to just let go & live freely?

[@naveenprasad4761]

Lesgooooo Kenny is back!!

[@gubeanthrey]

Yesyesyesyes I jumped when you mentioned Malaysia in your tour list! I can’t wait for July, I’ll be there.

[@DJAKSOFFICIAL]

Very inspirational!

[@nidhidawda]

Hey Kenny, I'm 23 and just started my master's in clinical psychology which is my passion but while being busy from morning to night & loving my degree, I often feel anxious about being financially dependent on my parents and somehow I feel really unsuccessful. And even after I finish my master's next year, I might have to do Mphil/a counseling job at a hospital/ be a professor which won't be paying me much. So my question is, do we really have to play the long game when it comes to following our passion, acting mature before time to fight the flow of societal pressure, and seeing our peers do things we are missing out on in the 20s(by doing the job that is just an income source to them)? It really is tough on the head and the heart every day, feeling like I'm missing out on life itself. Do people who chase their passion really end up happy and fulfilled? How does the level of exposure you have gotten in life to see so many passionate people play a role in your mindset?

[@athiraajayan646]

Haven't seen a better interview!

[@AlpaKapadiaTeli]

Dude. Loved the conversation ❤

[@jain-abhilasha]

Oh This was such a heartfelt long recording of you guys talking! Thank you for being amazing!! And very insightful!!! I'm a poet and I've published an anthology, but to let people know about it's existence, I need to do Open Mics for Poetry or recond videos and post on social media, since that seems to be the marketing style right now, but as soon as the recording button hit, I get vert nervous and conscious and loose my voice, how do you think one can improve that? The fear of getting mocked, I hating looking at myself, and when you record you look at yourself, so it gets very weird. Any thoughts? #SimpleKen

[@eshadey8214]

BHAIIIIIIIIIIII, KZbin WHAT THE HELL?????! HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE ME THE NOTIFICATION FOR TWO OF THE SMARTEST COMEDIANS WHO I LOOOOOUUUUUUUUVEEEEEEEE???????!!! 3 DIN BAAD YAAD AA RAHA H INKO.

[@jasmine0613]

My two favourites.

[@suvancity]

OMG Vir is 40+ ????? I watch his every show and I did not imagine he is 40+ ,, such a good gene man!!! Make people laugh and you grow young ??? wow

[@foreveranexplorer]

#simpleken Hey Kenny, Here’s my question for your next long recording of talking. Do you have experience dealing with extreme narcissists in your life? If yes, could your share how did you deal with them, and what’s your views on them. Thank you!

[@tsuki112]

I didn't really know him before after 1hour4min, I love him

[@amansings8236]

my two favorite people

[@thepratikgaonkar]

last question was great loved it

[@girlieinlondon]

Hey Kenny. I am glad you spoke about the National conversation question to Vir. I have loved your work but always had one gripe. The fact that you hold the microphone gives you a responsibility and a voice to opine on shit that matters. That's my opinion. And taking that to make a difference makes you a responsible accountable artist. Life isn't white. Art isn't white. I hope we all find the strength to accept the hate, the negetivity the unfairness and talk about it. Talking especially when people are listening is important i think. Having said that, have your opinions changed about why you "don't joke about politics"? Btw loved the AUTHENTICITY. This long recording of you talking has been my mental health break for the past year now and i feel like it's a warm hug. I thoroughly enjoy this homely vibe ❤️ #simpleken

[@cognito8325]

Oh God no. Kenny doesn't because it's his choice and I'm glad he stands by it. Not to mention It's very annoying for those who don't agree with, your political and social beliefs. It's like preaching Ramayana to an audience. Some may love it, for the rest it's unbearable.
