Thu, 28 Apr 2022 14:55:00 -0000

its the finale of finales! thats right, bean and james are here to discuss the back half of The End, which james had not seen until recording this episode. one last ride into glory. one last breakdown of the joyless season 6. one last opportunity for sawyer to... well, i won't spoil it. one last frank lapidus funny moment. one last awful daniel faraday outfit. one last island shuffle. and a fond farewell to the silly island where anything can happen.

103 – operation usa

Episode Notes

we're back! (kinda!) we're talking about season 2, episode 20, two for the road, an episode about ana lucia's funny vacation, benjamin's funny pranks, and michael's regular day. james and bean try their best to remember what a podcast is -- they're stuck in the distant past, unfortunately, so cut em some slack!

as mentioned in the start of the episode, we are ending the show somewhat prematurely. however we have one episode still to come!! so stay tuned next week to hear the island shuffle Grande Finaley!!

thanks, lostpedia!

it may be a month off for us, but the folks at Lostpedia work year round to maintain a comprehensive database about our favourite serialized ABC mystery show! so we decided to humble ourselves before the true masters. it’s a deep dive into second favourite website next to random dot org!! we’re sharing our favourite articles, facts, and fan theories from a simpler time online, when all you needed were a few humble thoughts about a wildly popular television show about a plane. join us as we stare into the eye of the online, and find something beautiful.

102 – microwaved beer

Fri, 26 Jul 2019 10:00:36 -0000

we’re enjoying a heaping helping of Season 1, Episode 17, …In Translation. this implies “Lost” in Translation. like the movie! we provide mostly some helpful differences between the 2003 oscar-nominated film and this episode of Lost. we also talk about when Jin golf out of anger, is mean to his wife, and then everyone decides to be racist for a day. and don’t forget about the time Jin agreed to become an enforcer for his mob father-in-law!!

this will be our last episode for a little while — we’re taking a break for the month of august, so we can be rested up for the final final push to the end of this wild journey. follow us @IslandShuffle and we’ll keep you posted on when we’re back! sometime in september probably! we also have a bonus episode ready to go for the downtime! thanks as always for listening!

101 – jeff foxworthy in a fat suit

Thu, 18 Jul 2019 20:56:36 -0000

after an accurate summary of Adam Sandler’s Waterboy Film, we talk about Season 4, Episode 13, There’s No Place Like Home (Part 2). lots of stuff in here!! Hurley takes a piss, Locke asks Jack to partake in a conspiracy, and Ben commits a murder. meanwhile, a BOMB on a FREIGHTER?? what’s gonna happen? in other news, Bean and James have a lot of cool ideas about a certain stand-up comedian’s next steps. royalties, bay bee!

100 – kissing and moaning

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 11:00:50 -0000

a HUNDRED ‘sodes!! we celebrate this historic milestone with a Classically Terrible Episode of the show. its of course Stranger in a Strange Land, Season 3, Episode 9. you might know it as “The Jack’s Tattoo’s episode”. it’s somehow worse than you remember it! Jack goes on a regular vacation where he flies a kite, kisses a Hot Lady, and then decides to ruin everything for no reason and gets banned from all of Thailand. in the present, Jack is in Jail, and Juliet is on Trial. but Sawyer??? Sawyer’s talkin to the fellas. on this beautiful occasion of 100 episodes, we say to you, here’s to a hundred more!! (or maybe like, 21 more, instead? yeah okay)

99 – what if john lennon made it?

Thu, 04 Jul 2019 11:00:06 -0000

its the very first hour of the very worst season!! LA X (Part 1), Season 6 Episode 1 is here. Sawyer digs up his wife, and Ben does a bad job of pretending everything is fine. and in the alternate world, a humble plane that we love gently lands safe and sound… but the ISLAND is UNDERNEATH the OCEAN??? well well well!! surely that’s consequential. we regret to inform you that John Lennon is here, too. what’s the mystery about guitars? listen and find out, buster!

98 – light it up hotdog

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 21:52:38 -0000

it’s Sundown this week, season 6 Episode 6. Sayid wonders what happiness awaits him in an alternate world, because in the real world, he’s some kind of soulless zombie who everyone wants to kill. and even in the alternate world, the girl of his dreams is dating his brother, and his brother has to deal with a pie emergency!!! normally we make funny jokes but instead we spend most of this episode being mad at the show being bad. sorry!! being funny is hard

97 – volcano dad

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 11:00:50 -0000

it’s nugget time here on the Island Shuffle as we watch the legitimately pretty wonderful Season 1 Episode 5, named White Rabbit. Jack in the Past copes with a bad dad’s death, and Jack in the Present is stuck in a weirdly striking horror movie. the whole gang’s thirsty! meanwhile we talk restaurant tips and tricks, and realize the plight of a humble janitor with a dream. if you love to listen to our show, well… “Good for You!”

96 – throw another shrimp on the husband

Thu, 13 Jun 2019 21:42:56 -0000

it’s the Coen Brothers Check-In, but then we watch an episode of Lost like always. how about Season 1, Episode 10, Raised by Another? we learn about Claire’s past with the World’s Worst Man, and then a Slightly Less Worse But Still Bad Psychic. and in the present, Hurley does a funny census, and nobody believes Claire!! meanwhile we wonder about Big Pokemon and discover Ethan’s unfortunate political opinions. it’s an episode, for you? but you gotta listen to it!!

95 – bono writes 'em slippery

Thu, 06 Jun 2019 10:00:55 -0000

well it’s gonna have to be Season 3 Episode 13, The Man from Tallahassee this week. Locke thinks about his regular relationship with his regular dad, and then he holds a man hostage and eats his leftovers before blowing up his friend’s only escape. so, a normal one for our protagonist!! we also learn the true cure for depression, give the Edmonton Oilers a piece of our mind, and take a deep dive into U2’s recording process.

94 – wife or no wife

Thu, 30 May 2019 11:00:32 -0000

this week, laughter is a team sport, as we talk about Season 6, Episode 11 of Lost, called Happily Ever After!! desmond’s back on the island he hates, brought by his enemy father-in-law. to win desmond’s trust, widmore fries his brain. then desmond bears witness to a world where he has everything he could ever want… but in a cruel twist of fate, he does not recognize his loving beautiful WIFE!!! “is it worth it?” asks multiple characters on the show, and also us. we also pitch a great game show idea. its super practical and compelling to watch, just like the show Lost!!

93 – the shape of feet to come

Thu, 23 May 2019 11:00:46 -0000

it’s a Season 4, Episode 9 kind of week, where we talk about The Shape of Things to Come. in the present, it’s Ben’s time to have a really intense showdown with a terrible man. then after a bad decision, he flusesh a toilet. in the future, he becomes a paparazzi before his arch nemesis roasts his eyes. meanwhile we figure out a terrible truth about feet and figure out how to really spice up a classic trilogy. remember, its a show about a plane!

92 – john locke has to take care of a little man underneath the surface of the earth

Thu, 16 May 2019 11:00:58 -0000

feels a little silly to write a description, everything you need’s right there in the title! well i guess we’ll provide the episode title, Lockdown, and tell you it’s Season 2 Episode 17. we’ll also tell you about Locke’s past, where he almost marries Katey Segal, but then his pesky ol dad fakes his death and gets up to no good. in the present, Locke gets Married! and Ben masquerades as a regular man from Walnut Ridge Road. we also provide some social commentary and revisit what it really means to say a funny Borat. it’s all a blur this week, baby!!

91 – the little peanut butter that i dolloped upon your dome

Thu, 09 May 2019 11:00:45 -0000

content warning: the flashbacks in this episode deal with domestic abuse, sexual assault, and incest. we keep discussion of this confined from roughly 3:55 to 16:05 if you’d rather skip it.

bad episode this week, folks! it’s Season 1 Episode 13, Hearts and Minds. it’s a Boone episode, the only one! in the present, locke torments boone for incredibly normal reasons. and in the past, well? if you read that content warning and said “Lost can probably handle these subjects tactfully,” i’ve got bad news for you, bub. it’s a quick contender one of the all time worst episodes, but at least Hurley does a funny peepee and throws up. we also run down some stats and think about the road going forward into the canonical final 30 episodes of the show. thanks for listening!

90 – man on the bus

Thu, 02 May 2019 10:00:25 -0000

special guest Stephanie, of City Girls Make Do infamy, joins us for our 90th episode bonanza!! we watched Season 2, Episode 19, S.O.S, and it’s all about the beloved Rose and Bernard!! back in the day, they were in love, and guess what?? they’re still in love to this very day!! but is Bernard more in love with a man named Isaac? is Rose too committed to the roast? it doesn’t matter cause they’re both incredibly expressive actors. guess what? we liked it this week! the show was good! when even Charlie can contribute to the episode, you know we lucked out. happy 90 years to us, here’s to 90 more years

89 – summer of 41

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 22:21:34 -0000

welcome to the Sum 41 shuffle, where we recount facts about exactly one band called Sum 41. by sheer coincidence we also watched Season 5, Episode 15, Follow The Leader. in the past, Jack wonders about blowing up a hydrogen bomb and thinks its a really good idea. some of his friends disagree!! and in the present, Locke runs a few errands with his friends Ricky and Ben. Sun exists also. we also finally decide to run for office, and Richard Gere joins the battle. good luck to all involved.

88 – domswildthings

Thu, 18 Apr 2019 23:44:41 -0000

we shuffle the island this week on Season 2, Episode 10, the 23rd Psalm. Mr Eko has a sordid past where he made a choice and became a drug lord, and his brother became a priest. y’all ever heard of… good and evil?? meanwhile in the present, he meets Ol Smokey and Charlie remains a pissant. we also catch up with what some of the stars are up to on social media!! remember to log on to twitter dot com

87 – a wise man once said that war was coming to this island. i think it just got here.

Thu, 11 Apr 2019 10:00:31 -0000

we recommend watching a youtube video with zero views instead of watching Season 6 Episode 10, The Package. this week, Sun and Jin find true and passionate love in an alternate reality where the mob is constantly hunting them down. then in real life, nothing really happens at all!! Sun forgets a language?? uhhh Widmore… says a word. truly some bad tv here today, even by season 6 standards. what’s the worst pet? listen and find out.

86 – god's special mirror

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 10:00:01 -0000

it’s Season 6 Episode 5, aka Lighthouse. we got those in the Maritimes, and Jacob has one too. it’s a good place to visit exactly once. Jack thinks about what if he had a son and the son didn’t like him very much. Jin has a busted leg and lies to a friend. Hurley and Jacob are best buds. in the tumultuous waters of this incredibly bad season of television, we can only hope that Ciggy’s Cove guides us safely home.

85 – i'm not crazy i'm just a little unwell i know right now you can't tell

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 21:45:39 -0000

CW: this episode deals heavily in unreality. its pretty strongly woven into the plot of the episode, and there’s no avoiding it, so maybe skip this one if you’d prefer. additionally, we talk about a suicide related scene from roughly 39:30 to 41:45.

for christmastime we talk about Dave this week, season 2 episode 18. our friend Hurley struggles with mental health, trauma, and eating disorders, and a mean 3rd-baldest man named Dave gives everyone a piece of his mind. Charlie has a funny joke too, and good for him. meanwhile, Bean and James have a family and struggle to find a solution to our gravy problem, and James sharpens his standup comedy skills. it’s a great week for a forbidden pepper, and we’ll hit the bong to that!

84 – rick the dick

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 10:00:23 -0000

what do you think about culture and class in korea? well Season 2 Episode 5 “…And Found” has some thoughts and is eager to share them with you, cause it’s all about Sun and Jin baby!!!! in this episode’s past, Sun tries to find love and Jin tries to find a job. and in the present, Jin fights a friend and Sun wonders where Jin is. we consider some health care policy and master the art of the segue this week, and demand cusses from the queen. we have fun, in other words! thanks for listening

83 – the northern passage

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 13:49:17 -0000

it’s Pilot Part 2 this week!! remember the start of the show? the gang is still raw from a Plane Crash and Sawyer is very racist. Boone and Shannon are here too, remember them? a mountain is tall, a crew assembles, a hike occurs… and tensions flare!! meanwhile we roast landlords everywhere, remember lyrics, consider “Bad Weed”, and figure out a theory about where exactly the island might just be in. it’s our favourite island ever, baby!

82 – grookey fans only

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 11:00:31 -0000

after our much anticipated Gamer’s Corner, we consider another episode of Lost, and it’s Season 3, Episode 23, Through the Looking Glass (Part 2). hurley drives a car, jack punches a foe, tom fires a gun, and alex ties up a dad. and in the past… the future arrives! meanwhile we wonder how to drive and think about better names for oceans. have a good thursday everybody, you’ve earned it

81 – grant modanno

Fri, 01 Mar 2019 03:33:45 -0000

howdy! on this week’s episode we watch Season 3, Episode 10, Tricia Tanaka is Dead. Hurley has a wild idea about what a broken car can mean. in his past, his Dad is Bad and his Mom loves Jesus!! we also talk about the Mighty Ducks franchise of films for a little bit, and the show Lost teaches us a couple of “Comedy Lessons”. it’s a fun one!

80 – big brain

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 11:00:34 -0000

happy 2/3rds of lost-iversary! we’ve only got 41 hours of the show to go, folks. and this week it’s Something Nice Back Home, of Season 4 Episode 10 fame. in the present, Jack gets sick and has some challenging thoughts on his own treatment. in the future, Jack is in a happy and healthy relationship, and it sure would be a shame if a single spooky occurence instilled doubt! it’s not a great episode but Juliet is pretty cool in it. don’t forget, therapy has been rendered useless!

79 – joey boat

Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:33:41 -0000

hope you like words cause we’ve got ’em, here in Season 3 Episode 11, Enter 77. in the past, Sayid is forced to confront his horrible deeds and gives us one of the best scenes we’ve scene out of the show??? and in the present, Locke plays Chess and an eyepatched man lives on a farm. it’s pretty fun! almost as fun as a much better show that we come up with. we’re good at our jobs

78 – laughing about waluigi

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 11:00:14 -0000

we recommend searching for an image of waluigi before entering this episode, though it isn’t necessary. what IS necessary is Season 1 Episode 11, titled All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues. Jack hates his daddy! and he hates when his friends get stolen into the Jungle! but he LOVES to punch a dead man. forgive us for getting political, but we can’t help ourselves. we’ve also got some ideas for the oscars! exciting stuff

77 – jacob should have stayed dead

Fri, 01 Feb 2019 11:00:38 -0000

the lads talk about What They Died For, Season 6 Episode 16. it’s the very penultimate episode of the whole dang show! right before the finale!! so you know it’s going to be some real great television. Jacob explains it all in a very satisfying way, while Ben and Widmore, the two big antagonists, finally really butt heads once and for all! also, what if our favourite plane made it safe and sound? it means Jack has a child and there’s a big big concert! join us as we look directly into the camera of our own souls.

76 – the dupree conundrum

Thu, 24 Jan 2019 11:00:58 -0000

CW: the episode we watched this week depicts a suicide attempt, and we talk about this scene from about 39:00 to 42:30.

we’re not having any fun this week, since we’re watching Season 5, Episode 7, known as The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham. we learn all about Locke’s time trying, and mostly failing, to recruit the crew and get ’em back all to go back to the Island. folks, we actually like the show this week! but we also like to talk linguistics and shakespeare, because this is a podcast for smart people

75 – now that's a stylish fall

Thu, 17 Jan 2019 11:00:34 -0000

this week we think outside the island for Season 1, Episode 9, titled Solitary. we learn about Sayid’s time working as a torturer and falling in love. meanwhile in the present, Sayid makes a friend and Hurley starts a club. meanwhile we catch up on Maritimes Sports Gossip, think about JJ’s twisted mindscape, and reinvent everyone’s favourite awards show ONCE and for ALL.

74 – earning your pants

Thu, 10 Jan 2019 11:00:28 -0000

happy new year, to you and to yours! we’re back and we’re watching Dead is Dead Season 5 Episode 12 and it’s all about Ben Linus’ time growing up, being a teen, then being mean!! in the present day, Locke and Ben are married and making it work. a rat sings us a song, too! don’t forget, take a shower an hour.

73 – gimme my hash justin!

Thu, 20 Dec 2018 11:00:22 -0000

in our final episode in the year of our lord 2017, we finally talk about the state of legal weed in canada. we also get around to talking about Season 1 Episode 14, Special. it’s all about Walt and Michael trying to get along, Walt having untold abilities, and Walt’s Mom being mean for no good reason.

we’ll be taking a two week break after this ep for the holidays, and returning on January 10th. happy snow time to all!!

72 – tommy tuna

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 11:00:13 -0000

it’s Season 5, Episode 5, This Place is Death, this week. it’s all about Jin finding his friends and Sun holding a gun. be sure to stick around for the greatest television pitch you’re ever gonna hear.

71 – stoked to poke

Thu, 06 Dec 2018 11:00:01 -0000

we’re back!! after a month off we’re talkin’ about our favourite show ever, and you know it’s gotta be Lost. of course it’s Season 4 Episode 5, The Constant. ol’ Desmond’s on a helicopter, then he’s in the military?? what kind of nonsense?? well we sure hope he finds the love of his life. turns out it’s a genuinely great episode of lost. meanwhile we evaluate a doctor. thanks again for listening and see you next week!

70 – looming a blanket for your entire life

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 10:00:55 -0000

hello there. on Season 6, Episode 15, titled Across The Sea, we learn all about Jacob, and his nameless brother. one wears white and the other wears black. they were raised by Academy Award Winner Allison Janney, and dug a well sometimes. they saw a light in a cave and said “looks neat to me!” god is it ever a boring episode of television. we do our best but but it doesn’t take us long to bring out some fun new characters that everyone is surely going to love.

hey, as we mention at the end of this episode, we’ll be taking the rest of november off! we’ll be back fresh and full in december to tackle what’s left of lost. thanks for sticking around!

hey hey hey it’s Season 6, Episode 12, and it’s time to learn about how Everybody Loves Hugo. hurley, you see, is making the world a better place, but can he find true love?? maybe with the help of a little fellow called Desmond, he can have a date. meanwhile on the island, Michael is a ghost?? who cares. what’s important is that each character has a theme song and that weed is legal in Canada. thanks as always for putting up with us.

68 – babytown

Thu, 18 Oct 2018 10:00:54 -0000

Season 4? Episode 4? you KNOW we’re talkin Eggtown, baby. Locke learns how to run an Eggtown, and Miles and Ben have a fun little chat. meanwhile, in the Future, Kate is held responsible for her crimes, kind of, sort of, but not really. it’s a real loose one this week, so get ready for some talk of Vienna Sausages. also special guest Alphonse arrives to share some thoughts.

best of the best

Thu, 16 Aug 2018 10:00:30 -0000

hey folks! james and bean took a little vacation so guess what — here’s a lovely little supercut of some of our favourite jokes over the year. we’re nearly at the halfway point of the dang show and that’s hard to believe, and so we figured this condensed nonsense might serve a finer entry point than 59 episodes of nonsense. we hope you’ve enjoyed the ride so far, and guess what — there’s still so much of the television show Lost to watch! Lost is a show about a plane that says “Hello”

59 – tntbyacdc

Thu, 09 Aug 2018 10:00:27 -0000
