Simple Ken Podcast | S2E03 Why This? Feat @kanan_gill

Mr Kanan Gill is back! I don't know if many people know this but when I had come up with the idea of Simple Ken five years ago I wanted to co-host it with Kanan. It was something he felt he wouldn't be fully able to commit to but what ended happening was him being a regular part of it anyway. Now the episodes he features in are my personal favourites and also something the Simple Ken audience looks forward to! We talk about the reasons we started doing comedy, about our approach to money, about Nihilism, Speaking up and the drawbacks of the same, Focusing on our non-career side and the success of Kanan's first book! Hope you enjoy this episode. _________________________________________________________________________ 00:00— introduction 1:26— The Sebastian’s name plate. 3:13— comments on Simple Ken 3:23— Gen alpha 5:37— emo subculture 6:55— Then vs. Now 12:40—Kenny reading Acts of God 14:43— People reading Acts of God 15:51—Science Fiction as a genre 17:05— Kanan on writing the book. 18:12— questions about Acts of God 19:15— writing characters 19:40- engaging with the book 20:25— Publishing a book 21:24— Kanan’s Audiobook and character voices 23:15— Kanan and Kenny’s special 24:19— Multicam switching 26:30— Kanan’s thoughts on the bestseller 26:47— Kannn’s new book 29:21— existential and spiritual comedy 34:44— Niche audiences 36:51—Eating well vs Sleeping well. 38:47— Kenny and Kanan’s sources of joy 40:20— Cringiest content Kenny has made 43:44— Kannan’s managers 44:47— Kanan’s fitness journey 47:32— Emily reacting to stand up 49:39— The karaoke machine 52:56— Self aware people 55:53— overthinking vs under thinking 58:03- Pre therapy kenny vs post therapy kenny 59:25— Conclusion Simple Ken is hosted by Kenny Sebastian, A stand up comedian known for his observational humour and quirky stage presence.
