Correction: Guy incorrectly said that Billy Barty preferred the term "midget". From wiki:

Barty was a noted activist for the promotion of rights for others with dwarfism. He was disappointed with contemporary Hervé Villechaize's insistence that they were "midgets" instead of actors with dwarfism. Barty founded the Little People of America to help with his activism.

Loch Ness transcript

Here some twitter comments regarding the Loch Ness discussion from the "Aaron Sequence"
episode:



The discussion appears at about 45 minute into the podcast and goes something like this:
Guy: Have you been to Scotland?
Aaron: Yes...
G: That Loch Ness Monster... do they really believe in that?
A: Of all the things in the world that was the thing I was most willing to believe as a kid... it broke my heart when I was in my teens... and sonar technology had been perfected and basically trolled the whole lake and nothing was there, not even a large fish.
G: I remember when I was a kid... I read that a bus full of nuns saw it and a bus full of nuns would never lie.
A: Those nuns were also on the tourism board.

John J.: Hot Winter Geek

John J. was featured in a list of the "Hottest Geek Guys of Winter" on the Redeye Chicago Blog.


Here is his write up from the article:

John J. – Editor-In-Chief, [adult swim] central. Columnist, Podcaster: There are many ways to describe John J. (as he is known to the internet universe). Visionary, Diabolical Genius, Social Butterfly, Delusional Weirdo… many, however know him as “The Most Beloved Man on the Internet.” Having failed to in his first attempt (a fansite about the show “Mystery Science Theater 3000,”) John J. started another site, dedicated to the hit [adult swim] show, “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” The site itself, gained a rather moderate following, even garnering the attention of the creators, voice actors, and staff of the show. After building sites based on other [adult swim] programs, John J. placed them under the umbrella of [adult swim] central. With the advent of the podcasting boom of the mid-2000s, [as]central’s Swimcast was established as well. The Swimcast is a round-table podcast regarding all things going on in the [as] universe, sometimes including guest interviews. In 2010, John J. started venturing outside of the [adult swim] universe and became an occasional columnist for sites such as The Other View and Nerd Blerp. Shortly after, John J. started the Adventure Club Podcast: A hodgepodge of a podcast, which includes pop-culture, nostalgia, comedy, tech, and all-around geekdom. John J. graduated from Brookdale Community College (the same college attended by director Kevin Smith, NBC News Anchor Brian Williams, and Venture Bros. voice actor James Urbaniak.) with a degree in Fine Arts. When not being “The Most Beloved…,” he enjoys playing games on X-Box/PS3, collecting various action figures, and watching way too much TV and equally too many Movies. Follow John on Twitter!

Make sure and check out the article. John's in pretty impressive company on this list!
