I was expecting pictures of Ariel Sharon but instead all I got was a stupid block of text. What the gently caress?

But yeah, I'm also in the camp of constantly teetering between liking IDEOTV and being annoyed by it. For me it's mostly that some episodes are successful, where they manage to have an interesting discussion about the book as a whole, and some episodes one of the hosts or guests get caught up in something very particular they didn't like in the book and talk mostly just about that, to varying levels of entertainment.

it's crow time again

I generally enjoy most episodes aside from the biography ones, because those often require some background in music or wrestling or whatever. The notable exception there is Diablo Cody, but that's not really much of a biography.

I still listen to it every week though, and it's the most enjoyable bad books podcasts I've listened to. (Yes I've listened to more than one.)

It's funny, almost all the Ridiculists I've seen photos of look more or less like what I thought they'd look like except for Nutshell and Jack Chick.

I assumed Nutshell was a blonde upper midwesterner with stress lines from having to smile politely at the constant comments about how she should make a tater tot hot dish when someone came over for dinner. I my mind Jack Chick was really tall, as thin as Iggy Pop, and had really long black hair. Because he likes metal.

My imagination was remarkably on point regarding Boots' appearance. This exact picture is what I had in mind:

By the way, the F-Plus people are pretty much all goons, right? I've been wondering about that. Everything seems to point to it, from the choice of subject matter to their implied political beliefs and the fact that they charge a one-time membership fee of $10 for ballp.it.

They talked a bit about this in the 200th episode retrospective. Being from PoE, a few of them apparently have a bit of a grudge against SA because of the goons' habit of touching the poop back in the day.

Is Jack Chick really that beautiful guy, I assumed that was a model in his ridiculists picture. I like IDEOTV a lot especially the biographies because so often the person thinks they come across as cool but really they come across as an unholy rear end in a top hat. The Bill O'Reilly book is probably the best episode.

You can see him in the first video from F Plus Live 4. There was also a gallery somewhere of photos from Live 3, but I can't find it anymore.

Edit: Found it. Here's Jack Chick hanging out with Lemon. There's another of Jack on his own, but it's a really unflattering head-on flash photograph.

I've been watching Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends again and I'd definitely recommend it for any fplus fans. It's a BBC documentary series from the early 2000s where the world's most British man spends time with various subcultures. Each episode is just under an hour and the show covers stuff from swingers to sovereign citizens to UFO believers and born again Christians. Louis is great because he is just there to meet these people and find out about their lives and doesn't openly judge or try to make himself the focus of attention. He doesn't shy away from asking embarrassing questions either. Cringe tourism at its finest and the whole series is on Ireland/UK Netflix, I'd recommend trying S02E02 - Swingers as an introduction.
