viewers, we're podcasting during a heatwave to bring you this urgent message. We are going on a book tour. I've written a book by Finn Taylor historian called the history of mankind in its entirety abridged. Yeah. And that comes out on the 10th of September. But we are doing a book tour.
I'm going to probe around and sort of just find out more about your ideas. Yeah, maybe challenge you on some of your your preconceived notions.
Who knows? If you buy tickets to these events, you get a copy of the book in that ticket.
It's like Happy Meal.
It is, yeah, with a racist toy. But what if I already have a book? You're going to get another book. There are four dates. Bristol, London, Liverpool, and Sheffield, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th September. After these shows, I will be doing book signings, and the pre-sale for these shows is the 22nd of July, and the general sale is the 24th at 10 a.m. So the pre-sale's on Patreon, obviously. General sale is not, there's not many tickets. We're only doing four shows. Get a ticket, you get a copy of the book, If you don't get a ticket, buy a copy of the book anyway. Come see us on my book tour in September.
Well, this week on Thin Versus History, it's the history of beauty standards. Awooga. Awooga. Today, we're talking about female beauty standards, from muntas to smoke shows, thick-ass pougs to skinny little fangs. And today, Horatio and I are joined by SNL heartthrob Paddy Young. Yeah. Fellas, thank you so much for having me. You're here in, well, you explain.
You've tanned up. No, this is just how people on TV look.
This is TV's Paddy Young. TV's Paddy Young, wow.
I've got my teeth whitened, that's what it would be.
Yeah, exactly. It brings out the colour in your skin. This is quite a funny episode for me because this is the two spectrums in my life of like my straightest friend and my gayest friend right here. And I'm being pulled constantly each way. It's like on my shoulder because I live with Pad, but I work with Finn. Should be said we're the same age. Pad and me are the same age.
We don't have to say that. I'd say a lot of my career at the moment is based on the fact that people assume that we are nowhere near the same age.
I think it was the first writing session Paddy did for Filler's History is when you were trying to... You were tossing and turning about what new pillowcase to buy because you hadn't bought a pillowcase for 10 years. Ever. Yeah. And you got a mortgage. I have a mortgage. I have bunk beds that I don't sleep in.
But then I've always felt I'd rather have my face than your brain.
Yeah. I think that's fair. Yeah. i think that's fair yeah um paddy you're you've recently you've been uh i'd say you're in the white heat of the female gaze currently um really on snl do you not think i think maybe a bit of both really i mean yeah panties being thrown at you yeah dirty knickers yeah but you've been the dms you've been getting you're a little disappointed with some of the we're not going there
People have been saying, it's kind of like disrespectful what some people have been saying. Really? Yeah, so you've just got to close them off. Can I just say, I love all the messages I get from all the people.
That's not true at all. He's going through it. He's like, well, obviously not you. So there's a lot of, it's horny gay guys mainly. Come on, Pat, this is fine. We can talk about this. You've got a lot of horny gay guys throwing ropes of cum at you through the DMs. I'm throwing a few back. Yeah, and then I'm caught in No Man's Land, drenched in cum.
Yeah, I've seen the guys that you're getting photos with. What I love about, because we live in East London and we can't leave the house without a trembling man stopping, taking his hat off, dopping his cap.
Dopping his fedora, yeah.
Someone said she was dead. But I like, yeah, because I like seeing, I've got an album on my phone of men taking their photo with Horatio.
Yeah.
Really? Yeah. And you can see them trembling. When it's a live photo, you can see the tremble.
You can feel it. Yeah. We had that one recently, which is on like Brick Lane near where we lived.
