You may never have watched Kyle XY, but if you were alive in 2006 you probably remember the massive advertising campaign for this mysterious boy with no belly button. What was his deal? Where did he come from? Was this show actually any good? Sam and Jordan hope to find out!
What?! This isn't Kyle! Jordan had an idea for a new podcast: Doctor Huh, in which we watch a randomly-selected episode of Doctor Who each week! Please enjoy our first episode, on series 5 episode 2, "The Beast Below"! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
It's over! We have completed our arguably way too long victory lap of fanfic and we are finally done with our Kyle XY journey once and for all! We read the second half of the very good fanfic Kyle XY Fix the Broken and, let me tell you, it does exactly what the title says it will. With the power of Kyle and Jessi's love, we are all healed. Thanks for listening! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We've got one more fanfic before we finish our time with Kyle, and this one is short and sweet. This week, we read the first half of Kyle XY Fix the Broken on Wattpad! We're picking up where the season 3 finale left off. Are the Tragers safe at the Rack? Is Cassidy safe from Kyle's wrath? And most importantly, is this writer another Kessi shipper? Well, yes, but it's good. I promise! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
It's finally over! We finished reading the unfinished fanfic, Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story! It may not have an ending, but it does have a lot of Matrix references in the eleventh hour. More importantly, we finally get to the bottom of how Matt Dallas's character Chad Burton died on Eastwick! It's better than we could have ever imagined! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We're so close! It's our second to last episode of Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story, chapter 26, "Electricity", and things are heating up between Kyle and Jessi, unfortunately! Will they commit the ultimate sin? Will the surrounding neighborhood survive if they do? I, for one, am terrified to find out! (Unfortunately, Jordan's audio gets problemed around 41 minutes in and remains problemed for the rest of the episode. I have made it as listenable as possible! Sorry!) Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This week, we read Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story chapter 25, "The Date". Kyle has prepared a perfect romantic evening with Jessi. What could possibly go wrong? Besides the snipers, I mean. And the tear gas. And the oysters he left out all night. And his memories being gone. And Jessi. You know what, maybe let's just cancel. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Welcome to TragerMania, the wrestling event with as many twists and turns as Kyle XY! We're reading The Untold Story chapter 24, "Show Me", and things are really heating up! Get your waffles and your chocolate syrup ready, because we're in for one mess of a match, folks! These two competitors have a lot of history, even if only one of them can remember it. Will Jessi's skill and experience win out over Baby Kyle's mind-wiped unpredictability? Will the dreaded Nicole interrupt the match? Will Kyle receive backup from his stable, LWK Enterprises, or are Declan and Foss down for the count? It's the biggest night in podfessional wrestling, and you don't want to miss it! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Exciting news for fans of Sam and Jordan screaming at each other! In this week's episode, we read chapter 23, "Through Your Eyes", and found an excuse to scream at each other instead of screaming at the author. Make no mistake, though: the content still deserves it! In the end, no matter how much we fight about Master Chief's voice, we will always be united against Kessi. That's what family is all about, and it's something the Tragers will never understand, which is why they should all be in prison. Especially Nicole and Lori and Josh and Stephen and Jessi and Kyle. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Warning: as you may guess from the title, the fanfic is even more upsetting than usual this week. You know how Kessi is already a ship for perverts? Well, what if we added several extra layer of uncomfortable on top of it? That's right, in chapter 22, "An Old Friend", [redacted]! Oops, I tried to type it and both of my healthy hands fell off. Arrest this author! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We've got two action-packed chapters of the Kyle XY season 4 fanfic for you this week! In chapters 20 and 21, Jessi has to go save Kyle from Madacorp because she accidentally tricked him into going to Madacorp to save her from Madacorp but she wasn't really at Madacorp. I think. Will she be able to defeat her toughest foe yet: Evil Kyle? Or will Brian Taylor program him to be so horny that he forgets he's evil? It's the dramatic conclusion to part 2 of the fanfic, whatever that means!!! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This week, on an episode podcasters everywhere are calling "the most Jordan has screamed since Amy Get Your Gun on Juergen' It," we read Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story chapter 19, "Ying and Yang"! Kyle is holding Emily's memories of her daughter hostage, but the 881227 Big Kyle super soldiers are on their way to tear him limb from limb. Will Jessi arrive in time (to blind all of the protesters outside of Madacorp)? I think so! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Murmur, murmur! Rabble, rabble! Good episode, good episode! The room agrees, you're going to have a great time listening to Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story chapter 18, "The Grey Council"! Kyle has infiltrated the famous council, but what will he learn? What names will he hear? And how many not-clones of himself WILL he kill? I can't wait to find out, personally! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This fanfic is so cruel to us. We just fell in love with Rob Gerzer last week, and now he's probably dead, exploded to death by Jessi's new pain ray ability. Oh well! This week we read Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story chapter 17, "Revenge of the Nerds". Kyle is going sicko mode for some reason but not in a good way. The scariest part? He's even capable of firing a gun. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This week, we read chapters 15 and 16 of Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story: the two-parter "The Kiss of Judas". Grace Kingsley has continued with Operation 881227 Big Kyle, and the experiments get more and more inspired by the Joker from the Dark Knight every day. Meanwhile, Tom and Jim Foss have coerced Miguel Cassidy into helping them with something, and Rob Gerzer is here too. He was in Iraqi prisons for years, and even he thinks Jessi is messed up! What's this story about? We have no idea anymore. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Chapters 14 and 15 of Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story! This episode is named after how it made us feel to read it! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Hoo boy, this is a tough one. This week we read chapters 11 and 12 of Kyle XY Season 4 The Untold Story. Kyle is just mind controlling people now to punish anyone who is mean to Jessi. Meanwhile, Jessi and Nate are kind of becoming a thing despite her efforts to kill him with paintball. Don't worry though, this fic is still rated K for Kessi! Is a romance scene still romantic if it's immediately after a torture scene? Asking for no reason in particular. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
On a very special two-parter of Kyle XY The Untold Story, which means chapter 9 and 10 had the same title, our author decides to mix things up by telling the story out of order. It's a bold choice, but will it pay off? Well, honestly, the bigger concern is what these scenes are all leading up to. This episode is extremely rated K for Kessi. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This fanfic is really getting to us, apparently! Listen to us try to keep it together as we drag ourselves through chapters 7 and 8 of Kyle XY The Untold Story! The Kessi of it is getting more painful by the week, but at least Foss and Declan are here to keep us grounded! Hey, wait, where did Declan go? Did you see him, Jim? Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
This week, we read chapter 6 of Kyle XY: The Untold Story. Hillary develops a new iconic quirk, Vampiro makes a new friend, Nate gets a new assignment, and Jessi tries to watch her own conception. It's all pretty good, but Foss isn't here yet. Maybe next week! (Yes next week) Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Last week's episode ended with Jessi and Kyle about to get sniped by hooded assassins. Now, a week later, we can reveal... that the two main characters do not at the very start of the story! Hooray! Instead, here in chapter 5, Jessi gets "treated" to some deeply disturbing visions of the 1980s, in which Adam Baylin turns out to be the worst roommate and boyfriend imaginable. He seemed so nice! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Last week ended with a promise that Jessi would get drunk, and the fanfic did not disappoint! Jessi is at a party drinking an entire Kyle's bed's worth of beer, and Kyle has to fight off some goons. As if that wasn't exciting enough, the episode ends with a bunch of hooded snipers preparing to kill them both. Wow! Fortunately, Tom Foss is here to help. Oops, wait, he just left for Minsk. Ever heard of it? Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We're back! This week, we start our first season 4 fanfic, "Kyle XY: The Untold Story" by fanfiction.net user Olg G. Unlike the Secret Life season 6 fanfic we read on Juergen' It, neither of us have read this one at all yet! Will it be funny? Will it be good? Yes! Thank god! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
For better or worse, it's over! In this jumbo gigantic episode, we break down what turned out to be the finale of Kyle XY, S03E10, "Bringing Down the House", plus the DVD special feature "Kyle XY: Future Revealed". Was the finale good? No! Oops! We also discuss our overall feelings on the whole show, surprise favorites, missed opportunities, and the Vampiros we forgot along the way. Finally, for all the Aquabats fans out there, Jordan debuts his new epic gamer parody song... and I guess that's it! Unless some enterprising young fanfic author out there has taken the time to write us a fourth season. Oh, they have? Well, see you next week! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Somehow, it's almost over! This week, we watched the second last episode: S03E09, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". They already did it in season 2 with Ballantine, but let's do it again with Cassidy I guess? Season 3 is not very good, it turns out, unless you're first and foremost a Josh Trager fan. Too much Josh, not enough Foss. Oh well! I'm sure next season will be better! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
IMDB told us this was the third best episode of Kyle XY, so we've got friends of the show Val and Giga joining us to talk about the very Big Episode of S03E08, "The Tell-Tale Heart"! Is it as good as the IMDB score suggests? Kessi shippers certainly think so! Good thing we don't know anyone like that! Anyway, I wonder if Michael Cassidy is a villain or just a cool RA? Sam | Jordan | Val | Gigalithic Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
In the preantepenultimate (I looked it up) episode of Kyle XY, S03E07, "Chemistry 101", a lot of things happen. Here are some of them: Kyle begs Cassidy to let Jessi join Latnok. Kyle and Jessi plan a pheromone party with magic crystals. Andy catfishes a girl on Coolzone to set Josh up with a new girlfriend after she leaves. Tom Foss isn't in it. Stephen and Nicole are also not in it. There are three episodes after this. Where is Hillary?! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Now here's an episode to hurt your brains! It's S03E06, "Welcome to Latnok"! You know how we've spent the entire show dealing with Latnok and their various subgroups, and how it's well-established that they're a shadowy cultish organization with symbolic rings named after the prophet who they believe will lead mankind into a brighter future? Well, what if instead of that, they were the Burger King Kids Club? And Kyle had to compete in a hoverboard building competition against a jealous regular? Would that be good? Listen and find out! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
I hope you're ready to experience car crash, because this week we're talking about S03E05, "Life Support"! It's like two episodes got car crashed together! First, we have a funny episode about Kyle and Josh delivering a stranger's baby while Jessi and Stephen play scrabble. After that, we shift gears very suddenly to a serious medical drama about Nicole in the ICU. I can't keep up! At least Andy is okay! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
It's the episode we've all been waiting for: the one where Kyle XY calls himself "Kyle XY", AKA S03E04, "In the Company of Men"! We're joined by Erin and Jesse of Secret Life of Two Gay American Teenagers to break down this ridiculous episode, similar to how Impound Man tried to break down three teenagers by swinging a chain at them and shooting them with a gun. Also, more Mark/Lori stuff! It really makes you wish they'd bring back Leclan, huh? Sam | Jordan | Erin | Jesse Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We're mad at Kyle this week. It's S03E03, "Electric Kiss", and Kyle decided to be a real jerk. Jessi is living with the Tragers, and Amanda has a big piano recital coming up. She's very stressed about Kessi, not to mention the mysterious brain pains she's had since prom night. What's Kyle's remarkable plan to help his girlfriend while strengthening her trust in him? Well, maybe a practice kiss with Jessi will help. Oh, Kyle. Meanwhile, josh has gone full Cyberseduction: His Secret Life. Good luck with that one, Stephen and Nicole! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
I'm going to make a prediction right now. When the white rabbit swims at midnight... you will listen to this episode of Kyle X Why? This week, we're watching S03E02, "Psychic Friend". What could that title mean, I wonder? Well, Kyle and company are going to the seventh or eighth fair of the series, and there's a psychic there. Wow! Will her predictions come true? Will Kyle finally stop being the worst boyfriend ever? How many times will Jordan read the Wikipedia article for the band Faber Drive? The psychics in the audience already know, but the rest of you will have to listen and find out! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We're in the final stretch! This week, we watched the season 3 premiere: S03E01, "It Happened One Night"! And, folks, that title could just as well have been the title of the season 2 finale, because, folks? It's all the same night, folks! That's right, we're back to prom night! Thank god! Well, it may not move the timeline forward very much, but... well? Folks??? Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Two down, one to go! At long last, we've reached the prom episode, which is also the season 2 finale: S02E23, "I've Had the Time of My Life"! As Jessi prepares to leave town forever (or until next episode, knowing this show) Amanda prepares the world's worst prom. Yikes! Well, the important thing is to have fun and not worry about everything being perfect. Hopefully Kyle can make it perfect anyway! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We're almost at the end of season 2, but prom night is still not yet upon us! Don't worry, promheads, because S02E22, "Hello...", is still almost entirely about prom! Phew! How will they pay for it? Who is going to be the DJ? Will Josh be able to get ten thousand dollars? Somehow, for some reason? I can't wait to find out! This truly is the night of our dreams. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Happy Hooper Banana Day, everyone! To celebrate, we're watching Kyle XY S02E21, "Grey Matters". Josh's test results are back, and he crushed it! I bet the mean principal or vice principal will be very happy for him. What a nice storyline, probably! I will now take a big sip of chocolate syrup and spaghetti and press play on the episode! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Oh no! In S02E20, "Primary Colors", our best boy Kyle has become regular! That's right, his brain has declined to that of a standard nine-monther like you or me. What could have done this? Maybe Hillary will be able to help! I'm frizzling my leeks as we speak! Also, Lori is writing the theme song for the prom. I don't know. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
You know, people always talk about "jumping the shark" like it's a bad thing. Is it though? What if jumping a shark was just a really cool thing for a character to do? Well, this is Kyle XY S02E19, "First Cut Is the Deepest", and nobody jumps any sharks in it (unfortunately) but something equally ridiculous happens. Is it good? Who's to say? We are, and it is. Thanks Kyle! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Get outta here, customers! This is Kyle XY S02E18, "Between the Rack and a Hard Place", AKA "Sam and Jordan Talk About Working in Food Service for Two Hours"! Amanda's evil mother has punished her for (????) by making her get a job at the Rack, because it's the only place, and the shift lead that day decided to choose violence. How will Josh and Amanda fend off swarms of angry customers on a busy Sunday with just the two of them? How will Sam and Jordan fend off swarms of angry customers in their nightmares? Find out! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
The Trager Teens really messed up by trying to help their friend last week, so this week they're S02E17, "Grounded"! Kyle has smuggled Amanda into his room, [see title]! How will he keep her hidden from her mom and the nosy Tragers and the nosier Jessi and the nosiest social worker? Seems like there's a lot going on this week, and I haven't even mentioned that there's another Preston's Party happening! I hope Lori gets to go see all her wonderful friends! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Seattle where we lay our scene... sounds like Kyle XY S02E16, "Great Expectations", obviously! It's the Romeo and Juliet episode for some reason, and these households truly are alike in dignity, between our least favorite son Josh Trager and our least favorite mom Carol Bloom! No dignity to be found! This episode isn't the best, but at least Hillary isn't in it, right? Right??? Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We weren't able to do an episode this week, so please enjoy this unlocked episode on the bad movie Grease 2 from our Patreon series The Grant High School Exchange Program, originally recorded in October 2019! This month, for some reason, we're heading to Rydell High to hang out with the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies. It's Grease 2, the movie everyone loves to watch, and remember, and enjoy, and enjoy remembering watching! The songs aren't great, and the fake greaser voices are nails on a chalkboard terrible, but at least the riders are cool. Come join us down in the football ditch as we discuss motorcycle ghosts, sex bunkers, and racism luaus. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Another bad one this week! It's S02E15, "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades", and we've cracked the code on what makes a bad episode of Kyle XY. It's Hillary! This is a Hillary episode! She's committed herself to becoming the "Queen of Fabulous" because the writers noticed that all the kids love Sharpay from High School Musical. Hillary is so bad this week that we barely talked about the fact that Kyle can fly now! Ugh! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Remember before when we joked about Kyle doing a heist with Stephen and Nicole? Well, this is S02E14, "To C.I.R. With Love", and, well. Good joke, us! So, this is the episode where the Tragers do a heist. Like the previous heist episode, it's a little busted, but that's okay. What's important is that Jessi is perfectly fine! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Some good news and some bad news this week. The good news is that Kyle XY S02E13, "Leap of Faith", is totally off the wall and very good. The bad news is that a lot of it is pretty bad. In this longer-than-most-but-who-am-I-kidding-they're-all-pretty-long episode, we spend a lot of time breaking down what the show does right (everyone except Josh and Nicole) and what the show does wrong (Josh and Nicole). Also, Tom Foss is here, so it's a 100% good episode actually. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Quick, get inside! It's S02E12, "Lockdown", and everyone has to be inside! Please don't ask why, it's not important. Anyway, now that you're here, want to rehash some boring Leclan drama? (That's what I call Lori and Declan!) Or maybe you'd be more interested in some uncomfortable Jandy content? (That's what I call Josh and Andy!) Don't worry, this episode isn't all bad. Tom Foss is in it! In fact, Tom Foss is in it so good that the episode is actually very good! Thank you, Tom Foss! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Rev up your hands! Roy of the show Roy is joining us to talk about S02E11, "Hands on a Hybrid"! There's a car-touching contest and you KNOW Kyle is going to crush it, so, what else is going on? Stephen continues to get trolled by his terrible boss, Mr. Ballantine. Tom Foss is getting brain tortured which is pretty fun, I guess. Sorry, I wish I was better at hyping things up. Can we get Sideshow Bob in here to take over for me? That guy really knows how to get the party going! Sam | Jordan | Roy Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Get your hacking USBs ready, because we've got a heist this week! It's Kyle XY S02E10, "House of Cards", and our favorite trio of Kyle, Declan, and Tom Foss are going to break into Madacorp. How will that go? Foss is involved, so probably really well! Meanwhile, Ballantine's evil plan to break up Nicole and Stephen's marriage for some reason is progressing for some reason. If only Stephen hadn't left his butt stuff in the hotel room! Come on, Stephen! Anyway, that's gonna do it for this episode description. I gotta get going or I'm gonna miss the Pachelbel's Canon in D 10 Hours concert! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Finally, an episode for us '90s kids! It's S02E09, "Ghost in the Machine", and Lori has decided that she wants to go see the murder forest - but, uh oh, that's where Zyzzx used to be! What will happen? A bunch of flashbacks to Zyzzx in 1992, it turns out! Will Kyle get a Skip-It? Will Josh listen to *NSYNC? Which Scooby-Doo character is Amanda? Find out the answers to all these questions and more! Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Religion fans, rejoice! We're watching S02E08, "What's the Frequency, Kyle?" and it's another faith-focused episode. William's estranged father is in a coma, but will Kyle be able to talk to the angels in time to fix their relationship? Will Josh finally stop calling Kyle an alien and recognize him as the prophet he is? Will Declan watch The Cable Car Diaries with Lori?! Oh, also, some stuff happens with Hollandaise and Jessi. It's probably fine. Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
Three cheers for Moms' Rights! This week we're joined by Helga, one of the two or three people on the planet who have seen every episode of Kyle XY, to discuss S02E07, "Free to Be You and Me"! It's allegedly an episode about gay rights, but is it really? I guess you'll have to ask one of the gay characters on this show what they think! Good luck! While you're looking for one, we'll just be sitting here clapping and cheering for Josh... but what else is new? Haha! Sam | Jordan | Helga Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
We've got a wild episode for you this week! It's S02E06, which is genuinely titled "Does Kyle Dream of Electric Fish?" Kyle unlocks a new power and immediately levels it up into a new, less plausible power. It's like late season 1 all over again! I love this boy! Meanwhile, Josh goes on his first date... or does he? No, because he already went on a date in season 1, but also, or does he? Really makes you think... or does it? Sam | Jordan Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
