Ben Grant and JB close out the 2025 season with a massive Xs and Argos finale, brought to you by Something in the Water Brewing. This episode covers one of the most dramatic few weeks in recent Argos memory. Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie is off to Ottawa, and Ben and JB break down how it all unfolded, and whether anything could have been done to keep him in Toronto. They also dive into the Argos' coaching search, discussing what happened with Mike O'Shea, and examining a short list of potential candidates that includes Kent Austin. Plus, the guys are joined by Ralph Holley, who returns to Toronto after his time with the Cleveland Browns. In an extended interview, the "Detroit Dog" shares what he learned from Myles Garrett, and how he plans to bring back the interior dominance that made him one of the CFL's most disruptive defensive linemen. The guys also look at Toronto's 2026 free agent class, exploring key re-signing priorities, potential big-ticket additions, and roster gaps that need to be filled. And finally, they hand out their annual Xs and Argos Awards.

Ben Grant and JB return for the second-to-last episode of the 2025 season with a packed edition of the Xs and Argos Podcast. This week, the guys break down Toronto's team award nominees, and react to comments from head coach Ryan Dinwiddie and GM Michael "Pinball" Clemons during the Argos' end-of-season media availability. The guys also share their three highs and three lows from the 2025 campaign, from the thrilling Labour Day Classic win over Hamilton to the gut-wrenching Week 7 collapse in Montreal.

The Argonauts closed out their 2025 season with a 44–13 loss in Calgary, a game that started with a pick-six on Toronto's opening drive and never really turned around. The result didn't affect Toronto, but it did provide plenty of material for evaluation heading into the offseason. Ben Grant and JB break down all the action, including the crowded QB battle behind next year's presumed starter Chad Kelly. Ben is ready to crown Max Duggan as the third-string QB for 2026 after his short-yardage work, but both hosts agree more is needed from Jarret Doege and Tucker Horn before handing either the backup job should Nick Arbuckle not return. There were still some bright spots on the evening. Lirim Hajrullahu set a new Argos record, tied another, and established a CFL record in the loss, while Kevin Mital capped his outstanding sophomore season by becoming the first Canadian receiver in Argonauts history to reach 100 catches in a single year. It wasn't the ending Toronto wanted, but it does set the stage for a fascinating offseason.
