Notes
During December 7 - 9, 2009 the first four episodes were recorded, and at least two more were recorded the week March 29, 2010.
Towards the end of the the official podcast on April 20, 2010, Bob and Jesse gave the clue, Duff cant see ace, which can be re-arranged to form the correct title of Cause and Effect. Before the name of the album was released, it was expected to be something including (or have something to do with) the words Time and Clock. After the album art was released, it became more obvious what these clues were referring to.
The time on the cover of this album, 8:15, is a reference to Lost.
