CEO José Muñoz said Europe is one of the most competitive regions on the planet and that every EV credit protects the ICE and hybrid business, while the claimed 30% battery-cost reduction is a planned saving on 2027 models using mid-nickel NCM cells rather than an achieved one.HYUNDAI CLAIMS MORE THAN 600 MILES FOR SANTA FE EREVHyundai's first range-extender EV, the Santa Fe EREV, is due in North America in the first half of 2027 with a claimed 600-plus miles of total range from a battery less than half the size of a comparable EV's, using electric motors for drive and an engine solely as a generator. Production begins in Alabama in early 2027, with Hyundai expecting EREVs to matter more in North America than in Europe, and an Ioniq V EREV planned for China plus a Genesis EREV in early 2027.HYUNDAI PLANS INTERMEDIATE N PERFORMANCE TIERHyundai is creating an unnamed performance tier between N Line trims and full N models, using N powertrains but at lower cost and better suited to daily driving. It sees the high-volume middle ground as a sales opportunity that could also free the flagship N cars, such as the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, to become more track-focused, though no technical details have been disclosed.HYUNDAI SELECTS KALUZA FOR SMART CHARGINGHyundai has named London-based Kaluza its global partner for EV smart charging and vehicle-to-grid services, starting with Hyundai and Kia in the UK and expanding to Australia, with OVO becoming the first UK retailer to offer smart charging through the Kia App. The deal sits within Hyundai Motor Group's AllDayEnergy programme launched in July, expanding existing pilots in Jeju, the US and the Netherlands, with V2G services planned for next year.OMODA 4 SET FOR BARCELONA ESPORTS DEBUTChery brand Omoda will launch its 4.4-metre Omoda 4 compact crossover in Europe at the Valorant Champions Tour EMEA finals in Barcelona from 28 to 30 August, targeting younger technology-oriented buyers, before an Italian debut at the Turin show on 11 September. Europe accounts for more than 40 percent of Omoda and Jaecoo's global sales, and Chery, Europe's second bestselling Chinese automaker in July behind BYD, opened its first European hub and R&D centre in Barcelona in April.VOLVO ADDS SHARED ANIMAL HAZARD ALERTSA Volvo software update lets EX60, EX90 and ES90 cars use sensors and cameras to detect large animals such as deer and sheep, upload the location to the cloud and warn approaching vehicles, including those on the European Data for Road Safety programme, with added alerts for pedestrians, cyclists, roadworks and accidents ahead. Safety chief Åsa Haglund said the newer models' computing power makes this possible but that warnings must be trustworthy, since false positives deteriorate trust in driver-assistance systems.VOLTPOST ADDS CEILING AND SURFACE EV CHARGERSVoltpost has extended its Voltpost Air range beyond lamppost retrofits with ceiling-mounted chargers that lower retractable cables in parking garages and surface-mounted units for walls, pedestals and kerbside sites without poles. It claims installations take hours rather than days and can cut costs by up to 70%, though it has told Massachusetts regulators each charger needs 40A and dual-port units 80A, with some sites requiring power upgrades or a new meter.PLUG-IN SOLAR PANELS LEGALISED ACROSS GREAT BRITAINPlug-in solar panels became legal to buy and use across Great Britain on 27 August, with kits generating up to 800W, meeting up to 20% of a home's electricity use and saving up to £110 a year, after independent safety testing found compliant panels safe under a specification stricter than Germany's. Complete kits are expected to cost around £400–£600 initially and will be stocked by Amazon, Argos, Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes, with government assuming 15% of households pay for mounting help and 20% need minor electrical work.NIO CERTIFIED USED EVS START AT 26,900 EUROSNio's cheapest certified used EV in Europe costs 26,900 euros without a battery, which buyers instead subscribe to under Battery as a Service at 169 euros a month for 75kWh or 289 euros for 100kWh in Germany and the Netherlands, adding close to 7,000 euros over the remaining warranty for the larger pack. All cars are 2023 or 2024 builds with roughly two years of warranty left, drawn from Nio's own fleet and given full technical, cosmetic and structural inspections, original-parts repairs and no scheduled servicing for six months or 10,000 kilometres.APTERA SECURES UP TO $44 MILLION INVESTMENTAptera Motors has secured a strategic investment of up to $44 million from Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology, or Launch Design, covering fixtures, tooling, testing and pilot production for its first 40 solar electric vehicles at its planned Carlsbad, California site. The company is targeting the start of production in Q4 2026, with first vehicle bodies and chassis expected in October 2026.VESSEV RAISES $A27 MILLION FOR HYDROFOIL PRODUCTIONAuckland-based Vessev has raised $US19 million in Series A and follow-on funding led by Blackbird Ventures to scale production of its electric hydrofoiling vessels, grow its market team and develop onboard software and telemetry. The 2017-founded firm, which launched the 40-nautical-mile VS-9 in 2024 and has since added the VS-12, has delivery agreements in Sydney, Perth and Tasmania and named FlyTahoe as its first US customer, though its first Perth VS-9s only arrive in early 2027 pending classification and regulatory approval.

TSN 1050's Ben Grant joins us to break down the Toronto Argonauts' 4-4 start under first-year head coach Mike Miller, including how the team's identity has changed from the Ryan Dinwiddie era. We discuss Chad Kelly's high-risk, high-reward style, his CFL-leading interception total, the loss of receiver Makai Polk and whether Toronto's running game and offensive line have improved enough. Plus, Ben previews the Argos' matchup with Edmonton and looks at what Toronto needs to clean up over the second half of the season to become a legitimate playoff contender.

Fresh off a wild 33-30 victory over Calgary at BMO Field, the 4-4 Toronto Argonauts head west to take on the 6-3 Edmonton Elks in a rare Saturday mid-afternoon matchup. Ben Grant and JB get you set for a fascinating test against one of the CFL's best teams. This week, the guys start with the latest transactions as Toronto makes a couple of moves involving major NCAA programs, bringing former USC defensive back Akili Arnold back into the fold while moving on from former Florida State offensive lineman Darius Washington. Then it's time for a deep dive into late-game clock management. Toronto's final drive against Calgary ended with the win, but did the Argos leave the Stampeders far too much time? Ben breaks down the difference between Clock Preservation Mode and Last Possession Mode, explains when an offence should make the transition, and introduces his formula for determining how much time you should leave on the clock as you move into scoring territory. The guys also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding the Argos through eight games. Chad Kelly's aggressive style has produced spectacular results, but also plenty of interceptions. This week's Pick Six asks whether Toronto should try to rein him in or accept the turnovers as the price of having one of the CFL's most dangerous quarterbacks. Then it's on to Edmonton. Ben and JB break down the matchup, including how the Argos can prevent Justin Rankin from taking over the game and how Edmonton can use its running backs to put Toronto's defence in conflict. On the other side of the ball, Ben explains why Toronto's receiving corps is perfectly suited for an option-based passing attack and why mesh could be the concept to watch on Saturday. Plus: The latest Injury Report OCDC One Thing Put Me Down for 20 Challenge Flag The Argos are back to .500 and sitting second in the East. Now comes another opportunity to show that the team that emerged from that brutal opening road trip is ready to make some noise in the second half of the season. It's Toronto and Edmonton, Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET, and the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough has everything you need to get ready.

JD details his night at the Argos game, before giving his thoughts on the Blue Jays' heartbreaking loss in extra innings to the Cubs, and the dominance from Dylan Cease over the last two months. Adam Ottavino, host of the Baseball & Coffee podcast, joins JD to continue the conversation around Cease, and his development over his career and throughout this season, before getting into the Jose Soriano's arsenal ahead of his first start Blue Jays start against the Phillies, and the ability of Spencer Miles to fill in both in the bullpen and in the rotation.

Home sweet home. After seven straight games on the road, the Toronto Argonauts finally returned to BMO Field and somehow found a way to pull out a wild 33-30 victory over the Calgary Stampeders. It certainly wasn't easy. On a night when the Argos' offence seemed determined to give the game away, Toronto's defence delivered its most complete performance of the season. The Double Blue held Calgary to under 250 yards of total offence, intercepted Vernon Adams Jr. twice - his first two interceptions of the season - and didn't allow him to throw a single touchdown pass. Those turnovers were especially important because Toronto was having problems of its own. Chad Kelly threw four interceptions as the Argos lost the turnover battle 5-3, yet a special teams touchdown and an outstanding defensive effort kept them within striking distance all night. And then, when they absolutely had to have it, the offence finally came alive. Trailing late in the fourth quarter, Toronto battled back, Sam Hicks ripped off a huge 40-yard touchdown run, and rookie kicker Brady Lidster gave the Argos the lead before Benji Franklin's interception slammed the door on Calgary. Ben Grant and JB break down one of the strangest and gutsiest wins of the season. How did the Argos survive five turnovers? What changed defensively after Calgary put up 58 points in their first meeting? And what can we take away from an offence that struggled badly for much of the night but still produced when the game was on the line? Plus, the guys discuss the other star of Toronto's long-awaited home opener: the new and improved BMO Field. From the pristine grass surface to the upgraded lights, sound system and video boards - and the brand-new North Pavilion boxes enjoyed by several Home Suite Home winners - the World Cup renovations have transformed the Argos' home. After two months away, the Argos are finally back at BMO. And they're back at .500.

Brent Gunning and Sam McKee kick off the final hour by welcoming Toronto Argonauts head coach Mike Miller to the show! They discuss the challenges of starting the season on the road, this evening's last-awaited return to Toronto, and his experience coaching in the CFL. The guys then break down Mike Sando's latest quarterback rankings, debating the futures of J.J. McCarthy and Caleb Williams, while comparing Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Later, Yahoo Sports baseball writer and Céspedes Family BBQ co-host Jake Mintz (27:10) joins to discuss the Blue Jays' series win over the Astros, the surprising Red Sox, and the American League Wild Card race. Brent and Sam wrap up the show with some final thoughts on Toronto's playoff chase.

Ten years after the Brexit referendum: what did leaving the EU actually do to British e-commerce? The surprising answer from Chloë Thomas – someone who has worked in every conceivable corner of UK online retail for over 20 years, from the agency side to the client side – is that hardly anyone noticed.Cross-border trade has admittedly become noticeably more complex since Brexit – customs, VAT, new returns logistics. Yet the already extremely domestic-focused British market has barely changed: under 8% of GMV goes abroad, and Amazon still holds around 80% of marketplace sales. The real structural shift is happening elsewhere – established retailers like John Lewis, Next, B&Q, Argos and OnBuy are becoming marketplaces themselves to find additional growth at home.This episode is a must-listen for anyone weighing up whether the UK is still worth it – and if so, what actually matters when you get there.

Dave Naylor checks in with an inside look at all the top football stories. Another week of CFL football gets going tonight with the Argos vs. Stampeders. NFL pre season gets underway with the Hall of Fame game. And some big money contracts have been handed out this week in the NFL. We talk about it all with Dave Naylor. The Green Zone

Dave's summer vacation got cut from three months down to two, and Adam has a theory. New baby, plus he hasn't been working near as hard. Dave tried to get a second opinion from Anthony Fauci, who invoked the Fifth on advice of counsel, so we're left with the ruling as it stands. Either way, the new van is getting loaded and the Niles family is headed to a cabin in Michigan for two weeks. Fifties at night, fires in the morning and the evening, which means chopping enough firewood to replace what you burn. Golf, swimming, and a little aluminum fishing boat that Davey gets to ride in. Joseph and Joshua stay on shore. Joseph has a big knot on his head at the moment anyway.Sponsor: Amen app (from the Augustine Institute) Sunday morning in a Catholic family is not easy like Sunday morning. It's kids in the van, beat Father down the aisle, get to the pew. The Amen app is how the guys prepare their kids to receive the Gospel before Mass even starts, plus free access to Divine Mercy in My Soul and True Devotion to Mary. Since 2021 it's hit 950,000 downloads. Let's get them to a million. No paywall, no subscription, no upfront cost. Download the Amen app right now.Sponsor: Select International Tours When Adam and Dave went looking for help leading their first pilgrimage, every single person pointed them to Select International Tours. Having used them, the guys can vouch. Wherever in the world you want to go, head to selectinternationaltours.com and see what they have ready.On the drive back from Lady Pamela's family reunion in Arkansas, Dave counted three mopeds inside 45 minutes, which would be unremarkable in Portland and is deeply strange here. A moped gang remains unconfirmed but would be extremely cool. His reading time is going to Plato's Republic with the group at Deacon Harrison's house, book 10 now, while Adam has missed it all year and is on record that he'll haunt them if they kick him out.Dave also saw the new Odyssey movie, alongside Dr. Frank Grabowski, Juan in a dog onesie as Argos, and Deacon Harrison Garlick, who announced in the group text beforehand: "I have filled my heart with hate." Verdict, 7.5 for entertainment. They shouldn't have tried to cram the whole epic into one film, they changed the ending, which you can't do, and they folded the lotus eaters into Calypso's island. That last one guts the most important choice in the story. Odysseus rejects immortality for his family. That's the whole thing.The pour is Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, the flagship, from a bottle the distiller sent the guys when the show started and that has sat on the shelf about ten years since. The label reads: Warning, contains high levels of manliness. No age statement, and no, ten years in your house doesn't count. Whiskey only ages in the barrel. Small batch, four barleys, virgin charred American white oak. Not bourbon, not 51% corn. Made in the style of Scotch, right here in America.Then the topic: the five precepts of the Church, Catechism 2041, page 548 if you've got the classic 90s edition. This is the Church flexing authority, which she rarely does. Most of what she does is defensive. Papal infallibility is a negative power, not a positive one. The precepts are different. They bind, and they're the floor, not the ceiling.Attend Mass on Sundays and holy days, and rest from servile labor. Everybody knows the first half. The second half is the one that stings, because going out to eat after Mass means you're compelling somebody else to work. Nurses show up, gas stations stay open, and nobody needs to be demolished by guilt over a trip to the store. Don't be a Pharisee about it. Do take it seriously.Confess your sins at least once a year, meaning your mortal sins. Go monthly anyway, and do a daily examination of conscience, because you can't remember what you ate two days ago, much less where you lost your temper 28 days ago. Dave prays to Our Lady on the way in: help me make this confession as if it were my last. Adam leaves his phone outside, because it's listening, and that's not a conspiracy. And if you deliberately hold a mortal sin back, the confession is invalid and you've just added to the pile. Compound interest is powerful. Compound sin is worse.Receive the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. Observe the days of fasting and abstinence, which used to be far heavier, and nothing is stopping you from going heavier now. Adam has never once enjoyed fasting. Dave eats nothing until dinner and swears he thinks more clearly for it. Both of them fast every Wednesday with a group of men and offer it up for their wives and their families. That's the domestic priesthood doing what it's for.And help provide for the needs of the Church. Notice it doesn't say if you can afford it. Money is the easy part. Time is the sacrifice, especially in the seasons of fatherhood when there isn't any. Fr. Brian O'Brien's answer when somebody says the church really ought to do this: "I totally agree. You should do it." Your kids need to see you make some of your time sacred, not because nothing else was asking for it, but because you told everything else no.It all lands on stewardship. You don't owe God 10%. You owe Him 100%. The house, the money, the hours, and most of all the kids were never yours, and He's going to want all of it back. Adam is honest about where that gets hard: leaving work drained, walking in the door, wanting to shut down instead of engage. The fix isn't willpower. It's routine. A liturgy of the home. Because those minutes belong to Him too, and at judgment there won't be a single moment that goes unjudged.One housekeeping note. The Camp Out is always the last weekend of September, so put it on the calendar now. Sign-ups open at the end of August, late on purpose, because opening early means people sign up and don't come, and space is limited. Patrons still come free. This year the guys will be asking for donations on site, because Patreon numbers are down and 100% of what comes in goes straight back into the show. Neither of them takes an income from it.Protect what you were given. Provide more than the minimum. Establish a house that looks like the King is coming back for it. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave's summer vacation demoted from three months to two, with Fauci pleading the Fifth on the scienceTwo weeks at a Michigan cabin, chopping firewood to replace what you burn, and a little aluminum fishing boat15,000 miles on a brand new van because Oklahoma City is a multiple-times-a-week tripThree mopeds in 45 minutes in Arkansas, and the unconfirmed existence of a moped gangReading Plato's Republic with the group at Deacon Harrison's, book 10, and Adam's threat to haunt them if he gets kicked outThe new Odyssey movie reviewed: Juan in a dog onesie as Argos and Harrison Garlick arriving with his heart pre-filled with hateWhy folding the lotus eaters into Calypso's island wrecks the most important choice in the storyWhiskey of the week: Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, on the shelf ten years, "warning, contains high levels of manliness"Why an age statement stops the day it's bottled, because whiskey only ages in the barrelWhat makes Stranahan's American whiskey and not bourbon: four barleys, virgin charred American white oak, made in the style of ScotchBringing back the old show warning, sporadically and without noticeThe five precepts of the Church, Catechism 2041, and why they're the floor and not the ceilingPapal infallibility as a negative, defensive power versus the precepts as the Church flexing positive authorityWhy the Church legislates as little as possible and prefers freedom from the law over obedience to itResting from servile labor: the case against going out to eat after Mass, and why nurses and gas stations are fineSt. John Chrysostom on why you cannot pray at home the way you pray in churchConfessing mortal sins at least once a year, and why monthly confession is the better habitThe daily examination of conscience as the thing that makes confession possible at allDave's prayer to Our Lady walking into the confessional: make this confession as if it were my lastWhy Adam leaves his phone outside the confessionalSt. Alphonsus Liguori on concealing sin, and why an intentionally incomplete confession is invalid and grave matterThe Easter duty and St. Thomas Aquinas on why the Eucharist completes what baptism beginsAquinas's threefold purpose of fasting, and why the second reason is the most interesting oneSt. Basil the Great: fasting as a weapon for the valiant and a gymnasium for athletesFasting every Wednesday with a group of men and offering it up for your wife and familyProviding for the needs of the Church with time, not just money, and Fr.

After seven straight games on the road, the Toronto Argonauts are finally coming home. Ben Grant and JB get you set for Toronto's long-awaited home opener as the Double Blue welcome the Calgary Stampeders to a newly renovated BMO Field. Is this the game that marks the true beginning of the Argos' season? The guys explain why Thursday night feels like one of the biggest turning points of the year. This week's show begins with the latest roster news, including Toronto's trade for veteran centre Chris Kolankowski as the Argos continue to improve their roster as opportunities arise. Ben and JB also discuss linebacker James Neal joining the active roster and what the latest moves say about where this team is heading. One of the most fascinating conversations of the episode centers around a newly published peer-reviewed study examining travel in the CFL. The research found that teams travelling west for evening games consistently perform worse than those travelling east, raising an intriguing question: just how impressive was Toronto's 3-4 start after opening the season with seven consecutive road games? Ben breaks down the study and why it could change the way we think about scheduling in the CFL. Also on this week's episode: Home Suite Home, as the final winners are announced Pick Six, featuring a discussion on whether the Argos should be expected to play better now that they're finally home A full game preview of Thursday night's matchup with Calgary The latest injury report An in-depth Xs-and-Os breakdown of how each team can attack the other One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag Will the energy of the home crowd provide the spark the Argos have been waiting for? Can Chad Kelly and the offence keep Calgary's dangerous pass rush at bay? And after spending nearly two months living out of suitcases, are the Double Blue finally ready to show what this team is really capable of? Ben Grant and JB break it all down on this week's Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comSiguiendo su viaje su barco tuvo que cruzar un angosto paso marino custodiado por dos monstruos temibles la criatura de seis cabezas Escila y el remolino Caribdis. Escila era Un monstruo horrendo de seis cabezas y doce patas oculto en una cueva en la pared del acantilado. Y Caribdis era Un torbellino marino gigantesco que tragaba y escupía el agua tres veces al día, destruyendo cualquier barco entero. Circes le habia advertido sobre estos monstruos y le habia dicho que  que era imposible luchar contra Escila y que debía elegir el mal menor: acercarse más a la cueva de Escila que al torbellino de Caribdis, sacrificando a seis hombres en lugar de perder el barco entero. Odiseo siguió el consejo con el corazón destrozado: mientras los marineros miraban aterrorizados el remolino de Caribdis, Escila bajó sus seis cuellos desde las rocas y atrapó a seis marineros, devorándolos en la entrada de su cueva  Llegaron a la isla de Trinacia, donde pastaban los rebaños sagrados de Helios (el dios del Sol). Recordando las profecías de Tiresias y Circe, Odiseo insistió en ni siquiera desembarcar. Sin embargo, Euríloco y la tripulación, exhaustos y amotinados, lo obligaron a atracar para descansar solo una noche, jurando solemnemente que no tocarían a los animales. Sin embargo la desesperación por la falta de alimento llevó a los marineros —durante el sueño de Odiseo— a sacrificar y devorar las vacas sagradas de Helios. : Helios, furioso, amenazó a Zeus con bajar al Inframundo e iluminar a los muertos si no castigaba a los culpables. Debido a esta amenaza de Helios Zeus desencadenó un rayo devastador en medio de una tormenta feroz. El barco de Odiseo saltó en pedazos y toda la tripulación murió ahogada en las aguas oscuras y Solo Odiseo sobrevivió. Agarrado al mástil y a la quilla del barco destrozado, a la deriva durante nueve días, fue arrastrado de vuelta hacia Caribdis (donde logró salvarse colgándose de la rama de una higuera silvestre) y finalmente las corrientes lo llevaron a las playas de la isla de Ogigia. En Ogigia habitaba la bella ninfa Calipso, quien se enamoró perdidamente de Odiseo. Lo acogió en su cueva y lo retuvo como su amante durante siete largos años, ofreciéndole la inmortalidad y la juventud eterna si se quedaba con ella. Pero Odiseo, sumido en la nostalgia, pasaba los días sentado en las rocas de la orilla mirando al mar y llorando por su esposa Penélope y su patria Ítaca. Finalmente, la diosa Atenea intervino en el Olimpo y Zeus envió al dios Hermes para ordenar a Calipso que liberara al héroe y esta finalmente acepto. Odiseo construyó una balsa con sus propias manos y zarpó. Tras sufrir un último ataque de Poseidón en el mar que aún lo acechaba, naufragó en la isla de los feacios (Esqueria)  hoy conocida como corfu. y despues de nadar hasta la playa donde se acosto a dormir para recuperar el cansancio. Al otro dia vio a una joven con dos doncellas jugando. Era Nausicaa la hija del rey Alcino.  Allí fue socorrido por la princesa Nausícaa y recibido en la corte del rey Alcínoo, a quien relató toda su travesía. Tras escuchar conmovido toda la historia de las travesías de Odiseo, el rey Alcínoo y los nobles feacios le otorgaron valiosos regalos de despedida: túnicas, mantos, lingotes de oro de fino acabado y grandes calderos de bronce. Al día siguiente, organizaron un banquete de despedida y sacrificaron un buey a Zeus.  Los feacios eran famosos por ser navegantes míticos cuyos barcos no necesitaban timón ni piloto, pues las propias naves leían la mente de sus tripulantes y cortaban las olas a una velocidad inalcanzable. A la caída de la tarde, acomodaron a Odiseo en la popa de la nave sobre una alfombra de lino y un grueso cobertor. En cuanto los remeros soltaron las amarras, un sueño dulce, profundo e insensible como la muerte cayó sobre el héroe, liberándolo por fin del trauma acumulado durante diez años de guerras y diez años de naufragios. Los marineros feacios no quisieron despertar a Odiseo: La nave feacia voló sobre las aguas "más rápida que un halcón", cruzando el mar Ionio en una sola noche. Al despuntar la aurora, la nave llegó a la costa de Ítaca, desembarcando en el tranquilo puerto natural de Forcis, custodiado por una cueva sagrada dedicada a las Ninfas. Con sumo cuidado, lo levantaron en brazos mientras seguía profundamente dormido en su sábana. Lo depositaron suavemente sobre la arena de la playa. Colocaron junto a él todos los tesoros de oro, bronce y telas que le habían regalafo, apilándolos al pie de un olivo para que ningún caminante los robara antes de que él despertara. Y Hecho esto, emprendieron el viaje de regreso a su isla. Poseidón, indignado al ver que los feacios habían llevado a Odiseo a su patria sano, salvo y cargado de riquezas, acudió a Zeus a quejarse. Con el permiso del rey de los dioses, Poseidón esperó a que la nave feacia estuviera llegando a su puerto de origen y, de un solo golpe de su mano, transformó el barco y a su tripulación en una masa de piedra, fijándolo para siempre al fondo del mar a la vista de toda la ciudad y que aun se conserva a la vista de los visitantes de Corfu.  Cuando Odiseo despertó en la playa, no reconoció su propia patria. Había estado ausente durante 20 años y, además, la diosa Atenea había cubierto toda la isla con una densa niebla para protegerlo y planear la venganza contra los pretendientes. Odiseo pensó amargamente que los feacios lo habían engañado y abandonado en una tierra extraña. Comenzó a contar angustiado sus tesoros para ver si le habían robado algo, hasta que la propia Atenea se le apareció disfrazada de un joven pastor. Cuando Odiseo le preguntó dónde estaba, la diosa sonrió y le reveló la verdad: por fin estaba en Ítaca después de 10 años de viaje.   Atenea se mostró en su forma divina, disipó la niebla y ayudó a Odiseo a esconder el tesoro de los feacios dentro de la cueva de las Ninfas. A partir de ese momento, la diosa tocó a Odiseo con su vara, transformándolo en un viejo mendigo arrugado, harapiento y sucio para que pudiera entrar en su palacio de incógnito e iniciar la reconquista de su hogar. Su palacio se hallaba profanado por más de un centenar de codiciosos pretendientes que devoraban sus riquezas e intentaban forzar un matrimonio con Penélope. La reina había logrado contener la situación con astucia, prometiendo elegir esposo al concluir la elaboración de la mortaja para Laertes, tela que destejía a ocultas de noche hasta ser descubierta.  Disfrazado de mendigo, Odiseo se dirigió primero a la cabaña de Eumeo, el fiel porquerizo del palacio. Eumeo, sin reconocer a su rey, lo acogió con ejemplar hospitalidad (xenia), compartiendo su modesta comida y lamentando la ausencia de su amo. Poco después llegó a la cabaña Telémaco, el hijo de Odiseo, quien acababa de regresar de un peligroso viaje por Esparta y Pilos buscando noticias de su padre Cuando Eumeo salió de la choza, Atenea le devolvió temporalmente a Odiseo su aspecto majestuoso. Tras un emotivo abrazo entre lágrimas, padre e hijo se reencontraron después de 20 años y diseñaron el plan para erradicar a los usurpadores. Odiseo volvió a vestir sus trapos de mendigo y entró al palacio para probar la lealtad de los siervos y la actitud de los pretendien A la entrada de la casa, el anciano perro de Odiseo, Argos, echado sobre un montón de estiércol y muy viejo, reconoció a su dueño tras dos décadas. Movió la cola, bajó las orejas y, tras ver a su amo una última vez, murió en paz. tes: Líderes de los pretendientes como  se burlaron del falso mendigo, lo insultaron e incluso Antínoo le arrojó un taburete a la espalda. Odiseo soportó los humillaciones guardando su rabia para el momento oportuno. La anciana nodriza de la casa, Euriclea, lavó los pies del viajero por orden de Penélope. Al hacerlo, reconoció a Odiseo de inmediato al tocar una cicatriz en su pierna (causada por el ataque de un jabalí en su juventud). Odiseo le tapó la boca rápidamente y le exigió guardar el secreto. Penélope, desesperada y presionada para elegir un nuevo esposo, anunció una competencia final ideada bajo la inspiración indirecta de Atenea: Se casaría con aquel pretendiente capaz de tensar el enorme arco de Odiseo (que solo el héroe podía manejar) y hacer pasar una flecha limpiamente a través del ojo de doce hachas alineadas. Uno a uno, los pretendientes lo intentaron. Ni con la fuerza combinada de todos ni calentando la madera con grasa lograron siquiera doblar el arco. En ese momento, el "mendigo" pidió su turno. A pesar de las protestas temerosas y burlonas de los pretendientes, Telémaco ordenó que le entregaran el arma, mientras Eumeo y el boyero Filetio cerraban y atrancaban con cadenas todas las puertas del gran salón. Odiseo tomó el arco, lo examinó con calma y lo tensó con la misma facilidad con que un músico afina las cuerdas de una lira. Disparó la flecha y la hizo pasar limpiamente por las doce hachas. Inmediatamente, se despojó de sus harapos, saltó sobre el umbral de la puerta y le gritó a la multitud horrorizada: "¡Perros! Pensabais que nunca volvería de Troya... ¡ahora la muerte os ha atrapado a todos!" Odiseo disparó la segunda flecha directamente a la garganta de Antínoo mientras este levanta

Callum Kennard, Head of Sales at ClickSlice, joins David Hill to unpack the difference between SEO, GEO, and AEO — and what it takes to get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Most people think AI killed SEO. It didn't. SEO became the infrastructure layer underneath a much bigger system, and the businesses figuring that out right now are getting a first-mover advantage in a $750 billion market. Three things you'll take away: Why SEO didn't die — it became the foundation AI search is built on How reviews, content, and reputation drive whether an AI names your business The first-mover window that's open right now, and what to do inside it Small brands are already outranking household names like Argos and IKEA in AI recommendations.

Versión en audio del cuarto vídeo de la serie «El viaje de Odiseo» del canal de YouTube.Odiseo tardó diez años en volver de la guerra de Troya. Pero su peor batalla no fue el cíclope ni las sirenas: fue lo que pasó cuando por fin pisó su casa y no la reconoció. La Odisea no termina cuando el héroe llega a Ítaca; ahí empieza lo más difícil de sobrevivir: volver a casa cuando ya no eres el que se fue.En este episodio: el descenso al mundo de los muertos y el compañero sin enterrar; la madre que se deshace en humo cuando Odiseo intenta abrazarla; el aviso de Agamenón —para el que vuelve, la casa puede ser más peligrosa que el campo de batalla—; el perro Argos, que lo reconoce tras veinte años y muere en el acto; la matanza de los pretendientes y la furia que no se apaga; y la prueba del lecho, esa cama tallada en un olivo vivo que no se puede mover. Homero describió, hace casi tres mil años, lo que hoy llamamos el trauma del regreso. Y la salida que ofrece es la misma que la clínica moderna: no se vuelve solo.Soy David García, cirujano vascular y divulgador de mitología en Mitos y Más.▶ Versión en vídeo, con las ilustraciones del episodio:[https://youtu.be/Q_DRhHoOH94⏮ Capítulo anterior del viaje — por qué Odiseo se ató al mástil para no oír a las sirenas, y tú haces lo mismo con el móvil:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djkDn8-Ghlc

The Superhero Show #632Fantastic Four: The Mask of Doom, Part 3The Superhero Show — The Mask of Doom, Part 3This week, The Superhero Show wraps up one of the longest story arcs in the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series with "The Mask of Doom, Part 3." Before diving into the cartoon, however, the hosts take a detour into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to discuss the newly released Avengers: Doomsday trailer. From first impressions and standout moments to what the trailer reveals about Doctor Doom's future on the big screen, the hosts share why the latest preview left them genuinely excited and cautiously optimistic that Marvel may have another major hit on its hands.Then it's back to 1994 as the hosts conclude Doctor Doom's animated saga with one of the strangest adventures the series has delivered yet—an unexpected trip to Ancient Greece filled with mythology, Persian armies, time travel, and a quest for a legendary power source.The Mask of Doom, Part 3: Avengers: Doomsday Trailer ReactionsBefore discussing the animated series, the hosts break down the brand-new Avengers: Doomsday trailer.They share their reactions to the footage, discuss what stood out most, and talk about how the trailer has changed their expectations for the upcoming film. After several years of mixed feelings about Marvel Studios' recent output, the trailer gives the hosts renewed confidence that the studio may finally be building toward another truly exciting event film.The conversation naturally turns toward Doctor Doom, comparing the intimidating comic book villain fans know and love with the more theatrical version they've been watching in the 1994 animated series.The Mask of Doom, Part 3: A Quest Through Ancient GreeceThe hosts then shift their focus to "The Mask of Doom, Part 3," picking up immediately after Reed Richards, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm are transported back to Ancient Greece.Tasked with recovering the legendary Coffin of Argos before Doctor Doom can claim it, the Fantastic Four find themselves caught in the middle of ancient history. Along the way, they rescue Greek soldiers under attack by the Persian army, seek guidance from an oracle high atop a temple, and eventually discover the mysterious coffin that Doom believes contains an ancient source of unimaginable power.The hosts discuss just how unexpected this premise feels, especially considering it began as a fairly traditional Doctor Doom story before transforming into a full-blown mythological adventure.The Mask of Doom, Part 3: Battles, Captivity, and the Coffin of ArgosAs the adventure escalates, Reed, Ben, and Johnny are captured by Persian forces before managing to escape and join the Greek army in a climactic naval battle.The hosts recap the large-scale conflict and discuss how unusual it is to see the Fantastic Four participating in what is essentially a historical war. While the action sequences are entertaining, they also laugh at how dramatically the story shifts genres, embracing mythology, history, and comic book science fiction all at once.By the end of the battle, however, the coveted power source hidden inside the Coffin of Argos has been lost forever, leaving the heroes with nothing but an empty relic.The Mask of Doom, Part 3: Outsmarting Doctor DoomReturning to the present, the Fantastic Four realize their only chance of rescuing Sue Storm is to bluff Doctor Doom.The hosts discuss how Reed uses the empty Coffin of Argos as part of an elaborate deception, convincing Doom that his plan has succeeded long enough to create an opening to rescue Sue. It's another example of the Fantastic Four relying on intelligence and teamwork rather than brute force to overcome their greatest enemy.The hosts appreciate the clever resolution while also noting that Doom once again falls victim to his own arrogance—a recurring theme throughout both the animated series and the comics.The Mask of Doom, Part 3: An Ambitious Ending That Doesn't Always WorkTo close out the discussion, the hosts reflect on the three-part storyline as a whole.While they appreciate the series attempting a larger, more ambitious adventure, they agree that stretching the story across three episodes ultimately hurts the pacing. Several scenes feel padded out, and the Ancient Greece detour, while entertaining, never quite connects to Doctor Doom in the way they expected.The hosts also discuss how this version of Doom continues to be more theatrical than intimidating. Rather than reinforcing him as Marvel's greatest villain, the series often leans into his exaggerated personality and increasingly bizarre schemes. Although that creates plenty of entertaining moments, it sometimes comes at the expense of making Doom feel like the terrifying threat he should be.Even so, they acknowledge that the sheer unpredictability of the story makes it one of the more memorable arcs of the first season.Final Thoughts — The Mask of Doom, Part 3By the end of The Mask of Doom, Part 3, The Superhero Show has officially wrapped up one of the wildest storylines in the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series. Between a promising Avengers: Doomsday trailer, an unexpected journey through Ancient Greece, naval warfare, mythical artifacts, and another showdown with Doctor Doom, the episode offers plenty for the hosts to discuss.While the three-part arc may overstay its welcome and never fully establish Doom as the fearsome villain he deserves to be, The Mask of Doom, Part 3 remains a wonderfully unpredictable slice of 1990s Marvel animation that perfectly captures both the ambition and the delightful absurdity of the era.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!1994 Fantastic Four Animated SeriesRyan North's Fantastic FourJoin the discussions online! 1994 Fantastic Four Animated Series, Ryan North's Fantastic FourCatch Up On Past Episodes!Missed any of our past episodes?

The Argos have finally reached their second bye week, bringing an end to an unprecedented seven-game road trip to open the 2026 season. With Toronto sitting at 3-4, Ben Grant and JB take a step back to evaluate where the team stands, what they've accomplished, and what needs to improve as the stretch drive begins. The guys revisit each game from the opening half of the season - from the frustrating missed opportunities in Montreal and Hamilton to statement wins over Ottawa, Saskatchewan, and BC - and discuss why the Argos may be in a better position than their record suggests. With six of the final eleven games at home, Ben and JB explain why a strong second half should put Toronto in position to host a playoff game. The centerpiece of this week's episode is the Xs and Argos Midseason Report Card. Every positional group receives a grade as the guys evaluate what's gone right, what's gone wrong, and which units need to improve down the stretch. Also on this week's episode: Home Suite Home, with one final opportunity to win box tickets to Toronto's home opener Ben and JB's True CFL Power Rankings Pick Six, featuring the question: Which player on another CFL roster would make the biggest difference if he were an Argo? Put Me Down for 20 Challenge Flag The road trip is finally behind them. Now comes the opportunity. Ben Grant and JB break down why the Argos still have a legitimate path to finishing near the top of the East Division, and what they'll have to do over the final 11 games to get there.

The Toronto Argonauts couldn't have picked a better time to put together their most complete performance of the season. Facing what Ben Grant called a must-win game, the Double Blue delivered in all three phases, defeating the BC Lions 26-12 to head into the bye week with momentum and finally bring their marathon road trip to an end. The victory wasn't without its concerns. Chad Kelly was outstanding before leaving in the second quarter with what appeared to be a neck injury. Before exiting, he had the offence operating at an elite level, and while his status will be the biggest storyline over the bye week, Nick Arbuckle stepped in and guided the offence efficiently the rest of the way. He even showed off a little mobility, making several timely plays with his legs in a performance that helped secure the win. Defensively, the Argos were relentless. Toronto recorded four sacks - including two from newly signed veteran Shawn Lemon - and came within inches of several interceptions while consistently frustrating the Lions' offence. Special teams were equally impressive, as James Burnip continued his outstanding play with a 52.4-yard punting average, rookie Brady Lidster connected on four of his five field-goal attempts, and Janarion Grant repeatedly flipped field position with nearly 20 yards per punt return, including three explosive returns. Ben Grant and JB break down Toronto's most complete effort of 2026, discuss the impact of Shawn Lemon's return, hand out their Players of the Game and Plays of the Game, and bring you radio highlights from TSN 1050 with Mike Hogan. They'll also examine the injury concerns surrounding Chad Kelly, linebacker Owen Goss, and cornerback Benji Franklin, and what those injuries could mean as the Argos head into a much-needed bye week. Toronto now returns home at 3-4 with confidence, momentum, and a chance to reset before welcoming the Calgary Stampeders to BMO Field on August 6. The road trip is finally over—and the Argos may have found their identity just in time.

The Toronto Argonauts have reached a crossroads. After nearly two months on the road, the Double Blue head to Vancouver for what might be the most important game of the season. A win over the BC Lions sends Toronto into its bye week with momentum and in a good position in the standings before finally returning home. A loss would mean three straight defeats to backup quarterbacks and plenty of questions heading into the second half of the season. This week, Ben Grant and JB break down Toronto's latest roster moves, including the return of two familiar faces. Veteran pass-rusher Shawn Lemon is back for a third stint with the Argonauts, bringing 103 career sacks and three Grey Cup rings to a defensive line in need of reinforcements. DeWayne Hendrix also returns just one week after being released, as Toronto continues to shuffle its roster amid a growing list of injuries. The guys also congratulate Jack Cassar on being selected for induction into the Carleton Ravens Hall of Fame, recognizing one of the most accomplished defensive careers in program history and the outstanding CFL career he's continued to build with the Argonauts. Also on this week's episode: Home Suite Home, with another chance to win box tickets to Toronto's home opener Pick Six, featuring a listener question about what's changed with the Argos' defence over the past three weeks The latest injury report as Toronto limps toward a much-needed bye week A full game preview and detailed Xs-and-Os breakdown of Argonauts vs. Lions One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag Can the Argos finally put together a complete performance? Will Chad Kelly and the offence find the right balance against one of the CFL's best defensive fronts? And can Toronto avoid a third straight loss to a backup quarterback? Ben and JB break it all down as the Argonauts prepare for what could be the defining game of their season.

Dave & Cody are joined by film professor Paul to review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which just posted the biggest live-action opening of 2026 and the best reviews of Nolan's career. The table digs into Ludwig Göransson's score, the IMAX cinematography, the 60-foot Cyclops puppet, Robert Pattinson's genuinely repulsive heel turn, and John Leguizamo's surprise best-in-career performance. Dave makes the case that softening Odysseus's hubris costs the third act its humility, and lays out a Pastor's Corner connecting the film's Sea Peoples references to the real Bronze Age collapse and what happens to a civilization that loses its faith. Plus a recast, an Argos tribute, and a spirited defense of Taco Bell.SPOILER WARNING: Full spoilers for The Odyssey after the news segment.Movie reviewed: The Odyssey (2026) — Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Elliot Page, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo. In theaters now.

“I want someone who has regrets. I want someone who's learned the hard way. I want someone who understands that life is made of those messy compromises.” — Joel Christensen on the Odysseus he hopes to see in Matt Damon Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out — the controversial movie of the year, much of the controversy raging before anyone had seen a frame. So, before either of us had seen the epic, I talked to the CUNY classicist Joel Christensen, author of the timely Why Odysseus? Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. What, I asked Christensen, did he most dread about Hollywood's treatment of his beloved Odyssey? His answer: a hero too noble to be interesting. The Odysseus of the epic is a survivor, a scoundrel, an antihero — the master sergeant who does what needs to be done, from engineering the Trojan Horse to making sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive it. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon came down to one word: too likeable. What he wanted instead was a man with regrets — De Niro in Raging Bull rather than anybody noble. So did Christensen get the Odysseus he wanted? Below is his review, written after seeing the film when it came out. Postscript: Joel Christensen's Verdict on the Film Nolan's Odyssey is not Homer's Odyssey. This should be clear to anyone. Nolan faced an almost impossible task well: ancient audiences knew the story already. Modern audiences do not, so he created a ring structure with the beginning union of Penelope and Odysseus anticipating the reunion at the end, also introducing plot elements like the dog Argos and the pin by which Penelope will recognize Odysseus. The film is not Homer. Homer's power is poetry; the film's is image. Some of the images are striking: the scene when Circe turns his men into animals is the most arresting in the whole movie, showing everything that can be done with visceral imagery and a slight adaptation (Circe here is a survivor of sexual assault). The changes made to the plot such as omitting the Phaeacians, Nestor, Laertes, the bed and more are not as jarring as some of the general decisions. Calling “Zeus' Law” “do unto others…” makes an understandable translation to a Christian context, but it is somewhat nonsensical for Homer. Depicting a mutilated Helen is a strange decision that I am struggling with. What the movie gets right is making humans responsible for their own suffering. In a novel take on Odysseus as a traumatized warrior, the hero spends seven years with Calypso eating Lotus to forget the loss of his men. Damon, too likeable, regrets the trick of the Trojan Horse after witnessing the slaughter during the sack of Troy. We find out as well that the “sea people” from history, bringing an end to the “civilization” are actually the Greeks returning from the Trojan War and suffering for the transgressions they committed there. Is this ending an echo of Zeus' plan to end the race of heroes in the Trojan War? Is it an allegory for our civilizational collapse in the future thanks to technology, environmental catastrophe, and fascism? Any potential social critique dissipates with the movie's end. The traumatized veteran turns out to be merciful and kills only some of the suitors, showing many mercy. Then, guilty of violating “Zeus' Law”, Odysseus happily goes into exile with Penelope, leaving Telemachus to be king. There's no way to make Homer's Odyssey into a film and convey all its ambiguity and depth. That would be an unfair expectation. Nolan's film is a compelling spectacle and it makes me wonder more about how it reflects who we are as an audience. Do we need the hero to be ultimately good, even if he messed up? Are we so simple that we need to hear about Zeus' Law and the Sea People so repetitively? I fear that in this age where fiction and fact are so hard to disentangle, that we long for narratives that are just simpler. We don't get the Odyssey we want; we get the one we deserve. Five Takeaways •       A Complicated Man: The Translation Problem. Every word of Homer carries echoes no English can hold, and the fights over Nolan's dialogue replay the fights over translation. Emily Wilson detonated a controversy by rendering polytropos — poly, many; tropos, turn — as “a complicated man,” alluding at once to Odysseus's travels and the many forms of his character; Daniel Mendelsohn's “man of roundabout ways” does the work too, if you can stop thinking about rotaries. Even the objection to Tom Holland's Telemachus saying “dad” collapses on inspection: Telemachus uses the colloquial form in Homer. And the “authentic” dialect purists want was an artificial amalgam that no ancient Greek ever spoke. •       The Culture Wars Come for Homer. Nobody remembers a brouhaha over Wolfgang Petersen's Troy — a pretty bad movie, Christensen notes — but Nolan's Odyssey generates more controversy than a scholar can track daily. Lupita Nyong'o's Helen is attacked as inauthentic by one side and as cultural appropriation by the other; since 2015, classicists have watched the Western tradition weaponized by the alt-right while their own field argues about who owns it. Christensen's advice channels the epic itself: between Scylla and Charybdis, take Scylla. You'll lose six men. The alternative is losing the ship — and if the story doesn't persuade in three hours, nobody will remember the armor anyway. •       The Valence of Violence. Modern audiences are more accustomed to represented violence than any in history — you don't need Natural Born Killers when Twitter serves unverifiable clips from Gaza and Iran. The question Christensen brings to the film is what the violence is for. Uberto Pasolini's The Return gave Ralph Fiennes's Odysseus a steady, untroubled thump of arrows; the epic's own slaughter of the suitors, read closely, approaches Tarantino-adjacent parody. And the hardest tests are the atrocities the adaptations always cut: the mutilation of the goatherd Melanthius, and Telemachus hanging the enslaved women. Does the violence glorify the hero — or show what even the best of us are capable of? •       Keep Penelope Ambiguous. The great interpretive question of the Odyssey is when Penelope knows the beggar is her husband — the suitors, dead in the underworld, are convinced she was in on it all along. The epic grants her remarkable intelligence and agency, then reins it in: Agamemnon's ghost praises her by way of insulting all women, and she vanishes from the text. Christensen's advice to Nolan wouldn't be Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad, which centers the women's voices; it would be more screen time and total ambiguity — no access to her mind, a wife who matches her husband in wits and may even have outwitted him. Though based on Nolan's arc, he doubts we'll get a woman at the center. •       Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon was simple: too likable. Odysseus is the master sergeant — the one who takes the hard orders, tricks Achilles into the war, engineers the Horse, and makes sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive to rebuild Troy. The ancient hero is neither good nor ...

The Toronto Argonauts suffered a heartbreaking 24-23 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday night, and while the lasting image will be Lirim Hajrullahu's missed 31-yard field goal as time expired, Ben Grant and JB explain why the game was lost long before the final kick. Yes, Hajrullahu missed the game-winning field goal. Yes, he also missed an extra point earlier in the contest. But football is the ultimate team game, and this defeat belonged to all three phases. On offence, the CFL's highest-scoring unit got off to a dream start, marching down the field for a touchdown on its opening possession. From there, however, Toronto managed just three points over the next three quarters before mounting a furious fourth-quarter comeback that ultimately came up one point short. Chad Kelly finished with over 320 passing yards, but the Argos simply waited too long to find their rhythm. Defensively, the numbers tell one story, but the film tells another. Holding Hamilton to 24 points should be enough to win most nights, but the Tiger-Cats did all of their scoring through the first three quarters. By the fourth, Hamilton was without both starting offensive tackles and had a fullback playing guard on an all-Canadian offensive line. The Argos finally took control defensively, but earlier in the game they struggled to contain Tre Ford, repeatedly taking poor pursuit angles and allowing him to escape what should have been drive-ending sacks. On this week's Postgame Reaction, Ben and JB dig into every turning point, every missed opportunity, and why it's far too simplistic to pin the loss on one player or one kick. They also highlight the bright spots, including the resilience Toronto showed in battling back to give itself a chance in the final seconds. The easy takeaway is that one missed field goal cost Toronto the game. The correct takeaway is that a collection of mistakes over four quarters left the Argos badly needing that kick. Ben Grant and JB break it all down on this week's Xs and Argos Postgame Reaction.

After five straight games away from BMO Field, the Toronto Argonauts finally get something close to a home game as they head to Hamilton to face the Tiger-Cats in a pivotal East Division showdown. Ben Grant and JB get you set for a matchup that feels like a must-win for both clubs. This week, the guys break down a busy stretch of transactions, including Toronto's release of defensive tackle Dewayne Hendrix and offensive lineman Anim Dankwah, a trade for a former All-SEC player for Alabama, and the signing of standout Windsor kicker Brady Lidster. The conversation then turns to Chad Kelly, whose candid comments about Toronto's unprecedented road-heavy start to the season made headlines well beyond the CFL. Ben and JB discuss whether Kelly's frustrations are justified, how much the constant travel has affected the Argos, and why finally getting closer to home could make a difference over the second half of the season. Also on this week's episode: Home Suite Home, with another chance to win box tickets to Toronto's home opener Another surprise visit to practice from a former Argo Pick Six, featuring a listener question about the Hamilton seating controversy Injury Report OCDC One Thing Put Me Down for 20 Challenge Flag With Bo Levi Mitchell sidelined, the Tiger-Cats enter the week searching for answers at quarterback, while Toronto has an opportunity to get back above .500. It's another packed edition of the Xs and Argos Pregame Walkthrough, getting you ready for one of the biggest games of Toronto's season so far.

The Toronto Argonauts left Winnipeg feeling like they let one get away. Despite holding Brady Oliveira to just 64 total yards, forcing two turnovers, and limiting the Blue Bombers to a single offensive touchdown, the Argos fell 30-21 in a game where mistakes in all three phases ultimately proved too much to overcome. Ben Grant and JB break down a frustrating night at Princess Auto Stadium, where Chad Kelly turned in another strong performance and Makai Polk continued his emergence as one of the CFL's most dangerous receivers. But while the passing game generated big plays, the offensive line struggled to consistently handle Winnipeg's four-man rush, and after Sam Hicks burst through for a 26-yard run on Toronto's opening drive, the Argos managed just four rushing yards from him the rest of the night. The turning point came on special teams. Trailing by one score in the fourth quarter, Toronto missed a 40-yard field goal that was returned 129 yards by Trey Vaval for a touchdown - a devastating 10-point swing in a game ultimately decided by nine. Combined with other special teams miscues throughout the evening, it was the difference between flying home with a statement road win and leaving Winnipeg empty-handed. On this week's Postgame Reaction, Ben and JB examine the game through all three phases, discuss the early tackling issues on defence, why the unit still deserves plenty of credit for its overall performance, and where the offence and special teams must improve heading into next week's game against Hamilton.

The Toronto Argonauts continue their season-opening road trip with one of the toughest assignments in the CFL - a Friday night showdown in Winnipeg. Ben Grant and JB get you set for a pivotal Week 6 matchup as the 2-2 Argos look to climb the East Division standings and prove they're not the team some Power Rankings would have you believe.

The Toronto Argonauts suffered their toughest loss of the young season Thursday night, falling 58-36 to the Calgary Stampeders in a game that slipped away just before halftime. For much of the opening half, the Argos were right where they wanted to be. The offence moved the football, special teams made several positive contributions, and Toronto looked poised to head into the break within striking distance. Then, with just 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Vernon Adams Jr. connected on a 73-yard touchdown pass that completely changed the complexion of the game. From that point on, Calgary seized control and never looked back. While the final score won't sit well with anyone in Double Blue, Ben Grant and JB explain why the offence wasn't the story. Chad Kelly and the Argos moved the ball effectively for much of the night, and there were encouraging performances across the offensive unit and on special teams. Instead, the difference was Calgary's ability to consistently attack Toronto through the air, as Vernon Adams Jr. put together the best passing performance of the young CFL season. On this week's Postgame Reaction, Ben and JB identify two specific areas Calgary repeatedly targeted on offence and discuss why it gave Toronto's defence so much trouble. More importantly, they examine whether those issues are correctable before next week's showdown with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They'll also have radio replays with Mike Hogan from the call on TSN 1050. The Argos now have a full week to regroup before facing another major test on the road. Ben Grant and JB break down what went wrong, what still went right, and where the Double Blue go from here.

The Toronto Argonauts have won two straight and now head to Calgary for their fourth consecutive road game, looking to improve to 3-1 and continue climbing the East Division standings. This week, Ben Grant and JB celebrate two of the newest members of the All-Time Argos. The guys reflect on the remarkable careers of linebacker Kevin Eiben and defensive back Carl Brazley, discussing why both legends earned their place among the greatest players in franchise history and what made each of them so special. Ben and JB dive into the tactical battle that could decide the game. How can the Argos neutralize Calgary's talented defensive front? Should Chad Kelly continue to rely on quick decisions, tempo, and moving the pocket? And can Toronto's offence continue the efficiency it displayed in Regina?

The Toronto Argonauts marched into Regina and handed the Saskatchewan Roughriders their first loss of the season, knocking off the Riders 40-34 in what was officially a home game for Toronto but felt anything but. It wasn't a perfect performance, and it certainly wasn't a conventional one. There were explosive plays on offence, a game-changing punt return touchdown from Janarion Grant, momentum swings in every quarter, and a few head-scratching moments. But when the game hung in the balance, Toronto's biggest stars delivered. Chad Kelly once again led the offence with poise, the playmakers came through when it mattered most, and the Argos proved they have the firepower to beat anyone in the CFL. Now sitting at 2-1, Toronto leaves Saskatchewan with one of the league's most impressive road victories and a statement win over a team many considered the CFL's early benchmark.

The Toronto Argonauts are coming off their first win of the season, but their toughest challenge yet awaits Friday night in Regina. Ben Grant and JB get you set for a showdown with the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders in what could be an early measuring-stick game for the Double Blue. This week, the guys break down Toronto's latest roster moves, highlighted by the signing of former Florida State offensive lineman Darius Washington. Ben dives into the film and explains why the Argos may have quietly improved one of their biggest areas of concern. They also discuss Mike Miller's decision to keep the team off the practice field earlier this week. Is it a smart way to manage players during a long road stretch, or a risk for a team still trying to establish its identity? The conversation then turns to Kevin Mital's new contract extension, and why the Argos may have secured one of the CFL's premier Canadian receivers in a deal that is legitimately good for both sides. After leading the league in receptions a season ago and exploding out of the gate in 2026, Mital is quickly becoming one of the league's most valuable offensive players.

The Toronto Argonauts picked up their first win of the 2026 season in impressive fashion, rolling past the Ottawa Redblacks 44-24 in a game that got closer than the final score might suggest, but was never really in question either. Ben Grant and JB break down a dominant performance from the Double Blue, who piled up over 500 yards of offence and controlled the game from start to finish. Chad Kelly showed some rust, throwing four interceptions, but also reminded everyone why he's one of the CFL's most dangerous quarterbacks, surpassing 400 passing yards for the second consecutive week while throwing four touchdown passes. Offensively, the Argos got contributions from all over the field. Kevin Mital delivered one of the best performances of his young career, Tyler Kahmann continued to emerge as a reliable weapon, and Toronto's ground game provided enough balance to keep Ottawa on its heels throughout the afternoon. Defensively, this was a statement performance. The Argos limited Ottawa to a single touchdown and came up with the game's defining moment when they stuffed the Redblacks at the one-yard line, preserving control of the game and effectively ending any hopes of a comeback.  The victory wasn't without concern, however. Starting safety Robert Priester left the game with what appeared to be a serious injury, and his replacement, rookie Ethan John, impressed before suffering an injury of his own. There was also a scare late when Kevin Mital had to be helped off the field, though early indications suggest the standout receiver may have avoided a significant injury. The Argos are now 1-1, and with plenty of positives to build on, Ben Grant and JB break down everything that happened in Ottawa. Plus, the guys hand out their Players of the Game, relive the Plays of the Game, and look ahead to the next challenge on Toronto's schedule.

In this episode of Ethnocynology, David chats with friend of the show Dr. Alyce Cannon, who is an expert in classics and dogs in the classical world. The discussion begins with an overview of Alyce's research an ancient Greece and how dogs appear in pottery after the great Athenian plague. Then they begin to discuss Odysseus's dog Argos in Home's Odyssey: his roles, significance, and sad story. And discussed as well as whether or not he will be in the new Christopher Nolan version of the epic poem. Towards the end of the episode, the two discuss dogs and popular media and why the dog always has to die in films, and what this means for the human mind and it's connection to the ancient Classics.
