First pass:

24:31 When Bixby says "get out here or I open it up and start slashing" Its hard to tell what he is saying Slashing, Sloshing?
31:51 to 33:07 This whole section sounds a little too loud, its supposed to be an exciting chase so it might be deliberate
32:45 to 33:07 Sounds a a little clipped or muddy, it might be a deliberate echo from being inside the metal garage
36:51 Mic clips over the word "main" when Victor says " Gatekeeper thinks she's in the main hospital"
40:19 The kiss sound was a little soft, at first I though it was squeaking leather seats,
55:02 to 55:04 Lizzy Thumping on Bricks Chest sounds like someone tapping a microphone with their finger
56:07-56.08 CJ Saying "Fuck it" sounds like it was too fast or clipped off early

Overall it sounds great I am trying to be overly picky and point to things that MIGHT need improving, I have barely noticed anything serious that needs to be fixed

I have volume meters peaking at the following:
32:10
32:27
33:02
53:28 (Left only)
53:51 (Left only)
53:56 (Right only)
54:11 (Left only)
55:02
56:09 (CJ also sounds muddled a bit here as well)
56:13
56:40
57:03
57:19
57:21
57:32
57:38
58:41 (Right only)
58:57

These are the ones that made my light turn on on my volume meter. I don't know if you worry about these too much but I had it drilled to my head that if anything is going to be broadcasted on AM or burned to CD that you should avoid this, mainly to prevent distortion or clipping during the conversion.

I'm using audacity and I was able to clear a few of these that I tested with the Amplify effect with just about no difference in the sound itself, amplifying it by -0.1db to -0.3db most times. It gives a decent estimate but sometimes you can fiddle around if it changes the volume too much and still remove the clipping.

I'm not hearing any other issues outside of what Duffusmonkey had caught. I'll give it a 3rd relisten today and post if I hear anything new. As Duffusmonkey said though, this chapter you have to be really picky with to find anything.

No need to kill yourself over it. I'm going to be going over all the notes.

AND, just to add, some of the notes I've noticed from people are things that I intentionally did.

Said the manager to the audio perfectionist. :P Seriously though, gave it a fast listen, and most of the voices are way high pitched. A word to the wise, don't play it at x1.5 speed for QC purposes. For regular listening purposes on the other hand, it's a blast.

Thanks for input, we've checked it all out. Too late goodie, you should live here with us! (But seriously, we've gone through it already)
