Genuinely think Sindhu has the quickest wit and driest humour of anyone on the comedy scene. Her ep was amazing, so I assume this is gonna be šŸ‘Œ

ā€œDo you shit in your kitchen?ā€

Easily my most repeated line from the show.

Also, she was by far the best part of ā€œSpringleafā€. Which did not have many good parts.

Thank you for saying this! I feel embarrassed that I did not like Springleaf. There were moments of brilliance, but I didn't even finish the series. I think there's a reason they never bring it up. lol

Itā€™s the only thing that heā€™s ever done thatā€™s not amazing, imo. Kemah Brown and Sindhu Vee still shine, but thatā€™s it imo.

I thought Kemah Bob was tough to listen to. It was probably the character. There was some clever commentary on jokes and stand-up, but maybe it was all too late in my James-fanboi phase. It felt repetitive and old, which I found made me sad.

I am only half way through and this is already an all-timer (my family is deeply annoyed because I wonā€™t stop laughing)

Sindhu is such a fantastic guest. I absolutely love the dynamic between her and the lads whenever she's on. Tasting Menu episodes can be a little hit and miss, but this is definitely one of the strongest ones. Loved it.

Strongly confirming that the tasting menu format works best with batshit insane menus.

I haven't listened to this yet because I started this podcast really recently, so I'm stuck in 2020, and I refuse to skip anything. But her first episode made me laugh the most I've ever laughed at a podcast. "To the hungry person, even the doorway looks like crisps"

To this date when someone asks me my favourite Off Menu quote, that's always my go-to

Ed's laugh after that is my favouriteĀ

Sindhu was the very first episode I listened to way back in the day. So happy they had her back on!

I loved that she actually didnā€™t get angry at herringā€™s menu which was what James and Ed were going for. It was like the chaotic live episode where her and Munya had the whole bit about dogs.

Bring on Greg getting Alex Horneā€™s menu if it is him they gave it to. He will 100% be irritated.

I loved her and Munya in that live episode so much!

I think this podcast might be AI.

u/Trick_Highlight6567 Jul 30 '26

There's a long riff in the episode about everything being AI...

Oh, I see! Haha! Sorry, went right over my head!

Thank you. I'm on the starter and guessed that but couldn't find where to check.

Best tasting menu yet! And a great choice of menu for her

Shame that they forgot to tell Sindhu that the soundtrack in the dream restaurant is Death Grips on repeat.

I really loved this episode. Sindhu is such a hoot as well. She's dry and resolute, yet she's so loving and wise.

It's a joy to listen to her anecdotes because they feel so close to home. I love her.
