That feeling of leaping out of a dream job to test yourself is crazy, bravo to James and kudos to the Sorted for keeping the incredible friendship bond feel of a company, balancing profit and corporate bullshit with actually being mates is insane. The proof is if Sorted stopped being these core people it would struggle, which is a compliment!
well here the thing though - there is no peak capitalism corporate bullshit. Its very socialist - the people own the business so the people are taken care of which fosters passion and loyalty etc.
while its a huge step.. he can always come back i guess
@@lr-forge2337I don't think they have to budget to have both Kush and James on as full-time.
@@pg2826
You're actually this dumb?
@@pg2826 You have it wrong. It was never about the money.
Edit: At the begining probably money were important, but as time passed by, there was friendship and all of the silly things that comes with that.
James always felt like his personality rounded out the team, very grounded person, hated to see him go but its always great to see someone stretch their wings.
It was right for James to go and experience new things. He’s always welcome back though 😁
@@SortedFood JHERMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

James talking about Kush was really lovely. Very respectful and heartfelt. Truly happy that he’s happy - he’s got a beautiful soul.
Cannot believe it has been 3 years already. Thank you for your visits James, And thank you to the sorted team for having him back. 😊
We always love it when James in back in the studio. X
Can we all thank Mike for the wonderful times we had with james
Jamie’s outfit…. Incredible. Peak holiday dad.
Crocs!
I can't stop laughing. He looks like he just woke up said okay I am ready for this 😆
I imagine that is what his delivery drivers see when he answers the door 😂😂 There is no comfort, like I'm not leaving the house comfort!
I love that he and Mike are wearing Thai pants! All the patterns - such fun.
😂 I did not think it was possible for a human to dress like that out of free will.
This was lovely. I'm a bit shocked at how many years I've been watching Sorted, but that's a testament to the fact that you've created something real, and very human. ❤
Love this, thank you so much ☺️
I'm so happy to see this conversation made available for everyone. One of the joys of the live show was seeing James and Kush working together - there seems to be such a positive energy between them in addition to their individual brilliance. It was a real pleasure to find out more about how James got where he is, and what he's doing now, and I loved what he had to say about Kush.
Full marks to Jamie and Mike for letting the conversation grow organically - it was indeed "a really lovely chat".
So glad you enjoyed the conversation :)
Not going to lie, every time I see a sit down talking video with James I'm always hoping you guys say hes coming back to sorted. Miss seeing him but so glad he is happy where he is in life. ❤
Same
Especially after the winter live, that video at the end had me pumped
Isn't this the first? What others are there?
@@theimben their first live? Nah, it's not even the first one of 2024. They did a boxing themed one a couple months ago, they had a winter one in December I think, and many many more before that. They've done live specials for many years
I didnt think I could love Currie more than I do, but this video proved me wrong.
A million thanks to Mike for being the catalyst for bringing us the King of Snark.
#TeamShyPeople
Not shy. Introvert!
the amount of genuine love and excitement the sorted fanbase (myself included) has when we see james is incredible, its like having the family whole again and i hope he keeps coming back because we are always happy to see him!
I’m normally skip episode where influencers/youtubers talk about themselves , but I had to watch because I miss James and his calm demeanor, glad to know more about James and the Sorted crew!
Exactly. I love Sorted but haven't watched any of their videos interviewing other people. Got to see this one!!
@@pumpkin2362you didn't watch Kush's?
Thank you for sharing this on the channel for those of us unable to get the whole weekend package. It is great that James gets to freelance and set his own pace, doing such great things, and come back to Sorted as a guest we all know and love. Wonderful interview!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed this chat 😁
James always came across to me as grounded, calm and honest. he just really seems like a stellar bloke. The whole sorted team seem like super rad guys. Theyve never let their huge success of sorted change them for the worse. i just think its fantastic that after so many years of doing what they do, theyre all still good mates and good blokes.
🫶
I'm so glad we got this! We love you James!
Aah I love James! No offense everybody else, but he was my favorite when he was on 😂
No offence taken, we love James too 😆
Same, down to earth guy and unapologetically himself on camera. So glad we get the occasional cameo
@moolikeachicken Full offense. 😝😉
100% Facts.
Offended
As an introvert myself, i really like what James said regarding how he was still able to do a job that required more of a big personality.
Holy shit James is literally the most late-millennial tech-adjacent small business successful guy! Went to school for computer science, pivoted to culinary arts, joined a RUclips channel for cooking, ended up doing tech stuff, also did recipe development, pivoted to on-screen talent, went on to high-end restaurant cooking! Ignoring any past or current pay things (because I don't know and it isn't something that is any of my business), James has had an bonkers success story for this sort of thing that could reasonably be turned into a sponsorship from platforms for advertising!
James in under the cloche?! Thanks For this Guys! Always happy to have him back! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love you all but James has always intrigued me. This was a great chat with James and I’m so glad he still comes back and joins in the Sorted fun at times too. Xx
Jamie appologizing for not immidiately telling James how everyone are happy for him... then asking if he's happy...😢❤ such beautiful moments
I had issues with going into the kitchen at uni too. Pretty severe. NEVER heard somebody talk about that before. Thank you James for making me feel seen! ❤
me too, later found out I have Asperger's so makes sense now
Glad to hear you can relate 😁
Super happy for James. Truly. Still want him to come back. Thanks for doing this for us though. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for tuning in.
I love that James is still around a bit and that we sometimes get to see him again. And I love hat we have Kush now. And the best of all is that everyone seems to be really happy about it. Thanks James for sitting down for us!
Can we have a Kush Ben and James only podcast please?! 2 hours minimum.
Oh that would be lovely too. Very cheffy
They would need a moderator to ask questions. Because between the 3 of them getting caught up in whatever exciting food topic they are talking about, us normals might not understand anything
When James left I was absolutely gutted and selfishly really mad and didn't want him to go. Now having heard him talk more about why and how it was actually best for everyone I feel so bad! Sorry James we all love you and I'm really happy he's doing so well!
OMG I can’t believe some of the comments under this. This is a BRILLIANT episode - admittedly I wasn’t taken by the concept of the podcast when it first started, but I think it’s brilliant, and this episode in particular was really interesting.
It’s been great to see James, catch up on what he’s been up to and learn about his journey to Sorted!
Of course James, you are missed! I was as devastated as everyone else with the news when it came out, and it’s great to see you when you pop up!
Kush is ALSO a great personality in the team! The development of Sorted over the past few years has been amazing to see! Keep it up, boys!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 😘
Now I understand why I always like James the best. We have so much in common, especially the way he ended up being a chef. I'm so happy for him, very inspiring 😊
Finding out James loves video games and wanted to be a video game developer came as a huge shock, honestly.
When my niece Grace was three years old, her dad picked her up. She put her little hand on his cheek and said “I love you Daddy, you’re SUCH a good boy!” It was the highest praise she could think of. So now in my family, we say “__is SUCH a good boy!” and it’s the best compliment. After watching this video, I would like to say that all of you are “SUCH good boys!” ❤
Obviously there needs to be a Sorted video game. Stage 1: Boil the Pasta.
It would have to be called "Where's the dish?!"
Overcooked DLC: Pass It On
you could do challenges based off the different formats in the show..omg this is such a good idea someone get on it
Hahaha love this.
We need one of these with a couple of the veteran behind the scenes crew.
Great idea!
I needed this. I’m 23 and lost. Have no idea what career I want. Hearing James’ story gives me hope. Thank you 🙏
I was lost at 23 too. Don’t panic.
I picked something that would support me, and then kept my eyes open. I jumped a bit out of my comfort zone a few times, and made choices along the way that got me into a better fit. No regrets.
Life is a continuous journey of finding yourself and discovering more about yourself. You’re not ever lost, you’re just further down the path.
Personally, I was well into my 30’s and changed jobs after 12 years in one place. Been way more happier in that change. I left a comfortable misery for a new challenge.
Sometimes we feel lost because we’re looking around looking for what we “should” do. It really helped me to think about what I “could” do and pick my favourite one from there 😊
Finding it hard to move out my comfort zone and I definitely need to change this it's affecting what I can do.
You’ll get there! It’s hard, but worth it :)
I saw this live and teared up a few times. I guess I'm a sucker for punishment because here I am again.
Thanks for posting this for those who didn't see it live. I think this was such a great conversation between the boys that show their friendship and love for each other and food.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to see what an hour of food conversation between Kush and James would look like. Not to say Ben wouldn’t contribute to it as well, but I feel like the approach those two take to food is so intriguing that it’s bound to go into interesting directions.
Great idea!
I can so relate to James about cooking at uni - if you’re introverted, being forced into an environment with strangers in shared spaces is such a nightmare. I didn’t cook a single meal there. It’s sad to look back on. Glad to see you’ve come out of your shell to the point you’re on camera and doing interviews! ❤🎉
I love just listening to you guys talking. Don't feel that you always have to have a guest. Think of it as hostful, rather than guestless :D
James is a lovely man. He is ambitious without being obnoxious. He's talented, willing to work hard and have fun while he does. I have great respect for him and in general for people with his talents, work ethic and demeanor. Glad he keeps visiting.
Spoilers
On a serious note, it is lovely to see James and to get an insight into his mind.❤❤❤
I love those in-depth interviews, can’t wait for the rest of the team to participate, James is just the most beautiful soul, I love how much love and respect is shared between you all. ❤
thank you James for opening up to all your fans best wishes
I bloody love James. Always feels like a treat of an episode when he’s returned.
This was my favorite part of the whole weekend for some reason. Just loved it! And I have so much more understanding of why James left and keeps coming back all the time :D
Thanks so much for this. Splendid to hear from James. He is missed, but it's good to know he's so happy.
I feel like being able to listen in on a bit of this friendship is a kind of privilege. what a great interview this was.
I totally agree. The reason I watch Sorted is the guys' friendships.
I like James so much, bc he seems so humble and has the same doubts as all of us have at some point in our careers, but he went for it, to prove himself just for him. This is so courageous. This is very inspiring to hear as a 35 years old person.
How nice to have a catch up with James! You can see and hear the camaraderie in the room. 🥰
Whilst James was an active member in the videos I never got a feeling that he´s a bit introvert and socially awkward on camera, what a joy to learn more about people than what they come across in the first place! It all makes sense now
Oh my God, it has been 3YEARS already since James Left 😮 ?
Fuck, how long have i been following this channel 😂
It is lovely to find out what James has been doing. He was and is a great part of this channel. Absolute gem.
The Sorted Food family, feels incomplete without James Currie.. I do think the show is still good, & I enjoy watching it, but it's good to know, James is still going to be there sometimes..
Such a lovely sit down, and I love James' bringing up Kush at the end. We all adore James obviously but yeah I'm literally so happy Kush has gotten to be in move videos lately! Such a lovely way to wrap it up.
Well this made me smile! Thanks boys!
Happy Friday!
this has been one of the best interviews and one i have been waiting for. i love finding out not only is james shy but also a gamer. i hope that in the future you all do some cooking games like plateup or overcooked together just to see how ben and james work in a virtual kitchen, or maybe cooking food from games, esp. as more niche cookbooks based on games and anime have become popular.
When James said he was leaving. I thought it was going to be the beginning of the end for sorted. So glad it wasn’t.
This is probably one of the best pieces of content you guys put out. Great interview skills, very nice chat, heartfelt. Absolutely love James' courage to spread his wings. Amazing work, everyone!
Always love your presence on the show James! And this dialogue has really showed the unique profile of your character that brightened up the episodes you took part in.!
Some people need to remember that they're talking about real people and sorted do read the comments. I loved this section of the live! It was great getting to hear James talk more in depth about his time at sorted and reasons for leaving and it was just nice to see them having such a lovely sincere conversation. The whole weekend was great!
I am so glad that I happened across you guys a number of years back. I think it was when you first made use of the sous vide process.. really got me interested in making food again. I am sad knowing that we won’t get to see James regularly, but I’m also very happy that he’s happy and that we do get our occasional Currie fix when there are specials like this. All the best to all of you!
It was so sweet at the end when James suggested cooking breakfast. I had paused and started this podcast throughout the weekend and finished it up when I was making myself a french toast with some jam and it was just kind of a nice moment across time and space. Thanks for all the work you guys put into the show over the years and for sharing those moments with us!

Ta 😀
@@SortedFood And indeed da
James, you are great. All of you at Sorted have really inspired me to start cooking. You entertain and show us what to do. THANK YOU
I'm a simple person. I see James Currie, I click.
This was an incredibly heartwarming podcast that gave me all the feels... Thank you for having him on the pod!
James mate. I really am glad you are happy and you feel like that. we do miss you and we are happy to have you more and more. and on a personal note i really resonate with you and really find a person to connect when you were in sorted. love ya mate. all the best to whatever you do. be happy and healthy
Amazing! So glad to see James back in videos! Please put him in more! Please please please please pleeeeeeeease! 😊
Absolutely loved and love every ep james stars in. Always bring such great energy with the other guys!
This episode and the Kush episode are definitely my favourite so far. I hope we can get a Ben deep dive episode too!
Yessss so glad you made this bit available for all 🥰🥰
I'm so happy to see him happy. We love you, James!
I only found sorted in the pandemic or just before (it was after a joint thing with cupcake jemma). Was gutted when James left...but its great having him pop back...especially in the last year when its been a bit more frequent.
I loved to hear James and Kush are good friends. I wondered if they were adversarial. I know that gets views but I'm glad behind the scenes they are friends.
Once again, a great interview! You guys keeps talking ab0out the "community"! That is what it is, you come and go , and start the conversation that was finished by someone else, 6 months ago, a year ago. Real friendship!
Love from Singapore
James don't doubt yourself;!!! You were amazing!!! Love seeing you in sorted vids
this was so great! it’s always fun to see james and i’m so happy to hear he’s happy!
1. Love that this was uploaded on here❤.
2. Definitely need a part 2 feel like there are so many stories with James we haven’t heard.
I just realized that I have been watching you guys for so long that I remember those stories! I love this conversation with James!
Get Barry's dad on the podcast
Love your style, keep rocking it!
Glad to see James back on video love him ❤️
this is the most comfortable I have seen James and it is always fun when he rejoins the gang. then we can have 3 teams each with a chef and a normal. my son and I like to discuss the perfect teams.
Yay! So glad it’s on RUclips for everyone unable to get tickets to the live show
This was absolutely amazing. I love seeing you guys just talk and be mates and know more about the history of my favorite channel
Loved this!! Love James ❤ some feedback for Jamie, please let the guest speak and tell their stories… we want to hear it from them!
We clearly need a part two because they didn't finish their beers! But the end, with James talking about Kush 🥺 that was so sweet!
Love James. Love the whole sorted team. Hoping on many collaborations! 😍
Just re-watching the Sunday Live, can't say enough good things about the whole weekend! Wish Big Jim shipped worldwide
That's so lovely to hear, thanks for the awesome feedback!
@@SortedFood The link doesen`t work
I'm not a chef or in cooking as a profession even vaguely, but James' answer about best meal and it being solo cooking for friends with them just popping in and out to chat is 100% the same for me. I love just working on finishing up a dish or getting something slow cooking going while friends or family are visiting and just being a snarky person yelling comments from the kitchen or having one or two people chatting and then moving out while I also have chunks of time to concentrate or just chill in more quiet surroundings.
Thank you for releasing this to us who couldn’t join the live stream!
Yay! It's back! Under the cloche is the best podcast!
So good to see James, love him 💝
This podcast is amazing guys! Always love to hear it whole cooking! Makes it much better! Please bring max from tasting History ❤❤❤
These are fast becoming my favorite series you guys do.
What an inspiring video, James! I loved hearing you share your journey and experiences after Sorted. Your passion for cooking is contagious and your recipes are always incredible. Congratulations on continuing to delight us with your creativity and dedication! I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us in the future. Keep shining! 😍😍
I love seeing all the guys together. They have such great chemistry.
I love hearing from James! I cant believe it has been 3 years since he left.
Loved the interview. Thanks so much for being transparent, James! Y'all have exemplified the right way to do something!
Loved this episode! So glad James can come back now and again. 😊
Love James and always really enjoy when he comes back to visit! But Kush has also been an amazing addition and they each bring their own flavor! Selfishly I would love for James to come back permanently so we can get a bunch more 3 way chef battles
