John and Nick try their best to clarify some things.00:53:03 - Nick advises towards patience on the internet, while lamenting how podcasting can sometimes feel like work.01:12:32 - Marshal has finished the Dead Like Me franchise and loved it, but did not care for the film.01:19:32 - John is still occasionally giving Alias a chance, having watched a handful of episodes from season 3.
