The Grill

What do arguing with a customer support chatbot, John Travolta’s new look, and people who paint themselves silver and stand very, very still have in common? Other than being examples of losing touch with your humanity, they’re also our beefs for this week. You know the grill. -BenEMAIL US YOUR BEEF AS A VOICE NOTE YOU [email protected] by Ben Ilobuchi, Izzy Wight and Tad HarawaProduction services by Haven't You Done Well ProductionsABC Executive Producers: Evan Williams and Eric GeorgeABC Head of Audio on Demand: Jessica Radburn

What's up, meatlovers? We're back again (it truly never gets old) to grill the big stuff: indie concert etiquette, clingy strangers at house parties and tiny plates of food. I also tell another humiliating story, because I just can't help myself.

It finally happened … we've all synced up. And sadly Izzy had yet another tram incident. Luckily we have this podcast as a healthy outlet. In this ep Izzy beefs with the Nutflix show Age of Attraction, Ben had the world's most interrupted haircut and I unleash my disdain for Euphoria season 3.

Welcome, hotheads, to the first episode of ABC's The Grill! We're SO excited to kick it off with this absolute sizzler of an ep. Tad wants to scrunch the necks of people who cut in line, I beef with influencer food delivery habits and Ben tells a story about a quiet room that leaves us (almost) speechless. We would never actually be speechless. Hope you love it!

Big things grilling…I wanted to make it a surprise but they forced me to put it in the title, so blame them for ruining the tension, not me. The rumours are true, we have a new home.

Mwahaha welcome to the second ever Grilloween. Will this one be a trick or a treat?

This is late, guys, there's no excuse (I don't mean that as an apology). This week, we cover Tad's funny stomach, getting TV shows spoiled, punitive trickster neighbours and friends bringing up our sordid pasts. Leave us a beef in a 5-star review and we will read and grade that sumb*tch in the next episode.

Tad was in Bali so it's just Ben and Izzy this week. Izzy has a bone to pick with Miu Miu and fashion influencer Wisdom Kaye, while Ben is ready to exile anyone who has a milkshake with their lunch.

We got some sliders for y'all! Yummy! Please rate us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for the love of God.

Izzy is back from Europe and right back into the swing of things after embarrassing herself at a public toilet in the birthplace of the urinal (France).

Bad news: Izzy isn't here again. Good news: we've (momentarily) replaced her with the incredible Alexei Toliopoulos! Don't ask us how we pulled this off, just enjoy the episode. We discuss stiffies, seppuku, advertising and the foibles of Letterboxd.

Oh God, another bloody episode huh? Tad hates seeing people feel joy, Izzy hates snacking, Ben hates celebrity stylists. Do these guys like ANYTHING?

We've got huge news...that we can't say yet. Instead, Ben explains why he thinks there are too many Geminis in the world, Tad tells how he got scammed out of $99 in a completely avoidable fashion and Izzy shouts from the rooftops that Sabrina Carpenter should be able to go down on whoever she wants!

I know we said there'd be a video but we lied about that, sorry. Also, wish Izzy a happy birthday.

This one was recorded back-to-back with last week's episode so if we sound tired or deranged, it's because we absolutely were.

Jesus returns from heaven, Katy Perry returns from space, the Grill returns to whatever platform you're listening to this on.

This week the team shared their most irrational fears and their opinions on the fact that Katy Perry Is Going To Space.

Tad had the footy on during this one. We're glad to have him back though

Without Tad here, we were finally able to have an adult conversation. We spoke about not being recognised by people you definitely know, inappropriate ambiance and the Beatles tribute band. Tad will be off house arrest soon, so he'll be back next week.

We came up with cool nicknames for each other on this episode. Tell us what you think of them. Don't be too harsh.

Izzy was away this week, so we did a few prank calls at the end. Boys will be boys and all that.

Izzy fundamentally misunderstands how auctions work, Tad paid 18 dollars for two meatballs and Ben speaks through a karaoke mic with a sock on it.

Izzy rocked up half an hour late on this episode, but it's okay, we still love her. Tad trashes fine dining, Ben dishes on drinking games and Izzy talks about removing a piece of glass from her foot with tweezers like a Civil War soldier doing field surgery.

Chapter 2025... Page 1... The Grill team return from their travels and celebrations, recharged and ready to whine. It's good to see you all again.

Last Grill of the year kids! Make the most of it! We'll see you on the other side xx.

We did some sliders again before we went to see Gladiator II and man, that movie was really great, you all have to see it, they put sharks in the colosseum (collosseum? collisium? coloseum?) 

Make Australia Grill Again! In the midst of the U.S election, unburdened by the knowledge we have now, the Grill team discusses the most pressing matters: the beach, the unprepared, the costumed and Master Yoda.

Boo! Welcome to The Grill's first Grilloween episode. This week, dressed as 2024's second hottest bi-racial threesome, the Grill team tell their scariest dating stories. Grillers beware, you're in for a scare! 

This week we talked about the price of being a fan, middle-aged men taking sports too seriously, shopping centres, Liam Gallagher getting oiled up, and the rapper 360. Just so you know what you're in for.

Tad does his f*cking Irish accent again on this episode, just warning you now.

If You Can't See A Better Future. Grill One. We're back in Somerville this week ladies and gentlemen. Tad takes issue with his own tardiness, Izzy takes a bite out of Crumbl cookies and Ben recounts the strangest movie-going experience he has ever had in his life.

Back again. Tad doesn't know why a hospital would only serve health food, Ben experienced torture at the barber and Izzy fell over in the middle of Flinders Street. Send Izzy a nice message guys, she was a bit peeved in this one.

This week The Grillas spat in the face of convention and did things their own way: 15 minutes of talking about high school, a random game Tad came up with, then some Sliders at the end. Put your feet up! This one's more relaxing.

Can't think of a description this week, guys. Sorry.

In this brand-spanking-jelquing new episode of the Grill, Ben bemoans the price of fame, Tad talks directly to Stormzy about his work ethic 

Tad is back and he brought the chaos back with him. Ben desires better desires, Izzy laments the commodification of Brat Summer and Tad gives M.Night Shyamalan a piece of his damn mind.

With Tad dying from dysentery, girlfriend of the pod and former host of the Benevolent Forces podcast, Lucy White joins Izzy and Ben to discuss TV, bad planners and why influencers shouldn't say the N-word on Twitter.

Could a chimp play football? Seriously. Do you think a chimpanzee could play football? This question and many others are not answered in this episode of The Grill

A completely nonsensical episode, I really don't know what happened here.

Karma! Face implants! Phone ID! This was a f*cking insane episode because we wanted to get through it to discuss going to the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience™!

Tad's muffled on this one for some reason but that's sort of a blessing.

The Northside Ne'er-do-wells record another ep without Tadiwa. This week it's about cold weather and undeveloped frontal-lobes. It then devolves into something else entirely at the end. We're doing our best

The Grilluminati take aim at three of humanity's most terrifying inhuman creations: A.I, Apple and JoJo Siwa.

Tad's not here but who needs him!? This week Izzy and Ben recorded without their third half and decided to match outfits for the occasion. Izzy fights for her right to personal space while Ben speaks his truth directly to all the manic dog people out there. Woof.
