Transcript

00:00 First choice a song that a karaoke to be honest. I think it'd be oh what a night

00:05 late

00:07 December back in 63 can't go wrong heavy tune

00:11 Hello, I'm Paddy the baddie Pimley and this is my first with enemy

00:19 The first gig I ever went to people are gonna be shocked at this but hey the first gig I ever went to was Kano

00:29 In the O2 Academy in in Liverpool. We had a belt tonight. I think I was only about

00:34 It was only about

00:36 13 14 was in like year 9 in school. Oh, I mean and I went with some of me all the pals

00:42 And yeah, that's crazy now seeing

00:45 Seeing Kano on a top boy and stuff like that was I was in there singing P's and Q's when I was like 13

00:56 First professional fight I ever won was in the Olympia in

01:00 Town in the city center in Liverpool. I had me first fight against

01:05 Nathan Thompson some of me nicknamed chicken because he nearly chickens someone out from our gym who falls and before

01:11 It was a knock on a lie. It wasn't like a tough fight

01:14 It was it was a gimme fight the first few fights in me pro career

01:17 I was only 17 and I was fighting Patsy so I'm your old fellas who?

01:22 Well, I've Jamie man. So until I got Santa cage warriors. We first three fights were in me city center in Liverpool

01:28 First time I remember then you'll never walk alone. I was a tough on that. I really don't know

01:37 I couldn't even I couldn't put a finger on that to be honest

01:40 Oh, it won't have been at the match

01:42 It will have been I will have a that before then will have probably the first time I ever heard that was when I was

01:47 In me mom's stomach. I mean when I was in the womb

01:49 I

01:51 Ever fell in love with

01:56 Probably say Eminem. Oh

01:58 No, let's be honest. Let's be honest about it when I was a little kid. I used to love five

02:03 number five the band when I was like four five six

02:07 I used to love five and

02:09 After the fella in a blue eyes because I have blue eyes as a kid and blonde a I used to like five

02:18 My first memory of watching Liverpool at home around field was a 2-1 loss and the cup to Grimsby time

02:23 That's my first memory of Liverpool to be honest going to Anfield gone with a one of me

02:30 We dad's friends who called me uncle Ian Albaugh

02:32 We took me to watch a Liverpool vs. Grimsby and they scored a free kick late on and beat us to one

02:39 Quite embarrassing to be honest

02:41 That's gonna be into around field

02:44 Some of our big wins over United or something like that. No, I mean, I missed the 7-0 last year

02:49 No, I missed it because I was in I was in America at the time. So I missed the 7-0 last year

02:53 But in fact, it was probably when we beat City when we beat City 3-0. I mean that was that was a special day

03:00 The first album I ever bought was either

03:07 Eminem or 50 Cent

03:10 But think it was Eminem. Think it was Eminem. Yeah, can't remember the exact one

03:14 Was Cain and Kolo the one before that. It was one of them two though, definitely

03:18 First time a celebrity slithered to me DMs. I don't know. Oh big shot

03:26 Yeah, that one and I left them on here. I left them in the request for about six months. It was like, oh my god

03:33 Eventually DM them back and he probably thought cheeky little bugger not even DMing them now

03:39 I

03:41 Don't know if I've ever been starstruck. I was built for this lad

03:47 I don't know man, really I think the only person I've ever be starstruck with and speechless would be Jurgen Klopp

03:52 I mean like he's won everything with my club Liverpool FC. So

03:57 meeting him I'd probably be a little bit like

04:00 Jurgen, I mean he's the Messiah in our city lad

04:09 Stay song a play after the one a fight. I don't know. I

04:11 Really don't know it with that one. I wouldn't

04:14 either I put my songs on shuffle now on Spotify is it be like a lot

04:19 like the amount of different type of music I listen to is quite weird for a lot of people when I put my music on shuffle

04:26 in the gym and the random songs just play people saying oh pad this

04:30 This yours, you know what I mean when some Cat Stevens or something comes on

04:38 First thing I do after the fight is look for some food

04:41 I want to get a burger or some pizza or some chocolate army or a nice fresh ice-cold can of coca-cola

04:48 Cherry coca-cola if possible

04:50 First fight of being an outside of the rings probably fight with me brother and I's on a me and I live probably why I'm

05:00 I can take such a punch because my brother's five and a half years old on me and used to beat me up when we was

05:05 Younger but other than that, it was probably in school in year seven or so. I'm fighting

05:10 Yeah, of course. I've been to take them now

05:13 He would use I could count rope can't throw a punch because the shoulder will pop out of place

05:17 No, I mean so but well, we're not like that lot down

05:20 I mean we wouldn't end up fighting we argue all the time, but we wouldn't end up in each other

05:24 First choice a song got a karaoke to be honest. I think it'd be Oh what a night

05:34 late

05:35 December back in 63 can't go wrong heavy tune. No, I don't really do karaoke much

05:41 No, I mean, but I basically do karaoke in the gym every day

05:45 Those would be fair when songs come on rap songs is just that rap and meek saw Dave or storms

05:50 He just boom-boom just comes up mid spa. I'll be on someone's back time a choke. I'm gonna just be like

05:54 start singing

06:01 First Beatles song ever it's probably probably let it be to be honest

06:06 Um, but my favorite Beatles song was a here comes the Sun what George Harrison wrote. That's the best Beatles song

06:12 Thank you very much for watching all my first with enemy. I'm Paddy the body pimply. See yous later
