What it is, Bradley, back again with another episode of Dropin' Bizzles up in the his

0:18.1

episode today's guest in the studios, my main man, Tony, I love Panini's Capulo. Morning, man. Good morning.

0:28.1

What's going on? I love the Panini's man. What's sticking to me? What's going down? Oh, man, ready for the fight tomorrow night.

0:35.1

Dude, the fight's going to be epic. Epic. People always say, hey, Floyd's going to waste him. I don't understand what that means. Floyd might outpoint him,

0:44.1

but he's definitely not going to waste him. Well, I think Connor might accidentally get a knockout. No, not going to happen. I know. Well, you and I have a little wager going on. Are you sure you don't want to allow me to up it beyond $100 bill?

0:59.1

No, no. So here's what are the odds? Well, it's nine to one. No, no, you gave me 15 to one. 15 to one odds, homie. No, I understand.

1:09.1

So all Connor has to do is knock him out. He knocks him out. Well, of course. That's the only way he's going to win. He's going to see angles that he's never seen before. He's not going to outbox him. He's not going to outbox him. If it turns into a street fight,

1:23.1

McGregor could win it, but it's going to turn into a brawl, bro. I don't think so unless there's a rig in unless they're faking it, Connor's going to go up and do some ass whoopin

1:34.1

and start throwing some heavy bombs. Floyd's never really been around a UFC fighter with unorthodox angles. I think he might accidentally cause those hands to come down one smidge, catch him in the chin and goodnight.

1:48.1

It's not going to happen. Well, we'll see. We'll see won't we? I got a little swore going on at the house. You're invited. I'm going to be there. Yeah, it's going to be. It's going to be going to be there. Watch Floyd. It's going to end after nine. It's going to be nice. It's going to have nine rounds.

2:02.1

Well, you know, here's what it boils down to. Who's going to win the fight? Floyd. I'll tell you who's going to win the fight. The one that put in the best work.

2:14.1

But one with the highest degree of work ethic. I got it. We'll be the guy that wins. You're right. I mean, that's the bottom line. It is because work ethic. People always say, you know, outwork him. And there, and there's little truth to that.

2:30.1

Now, talent does come into play. What do you think's more important? Having talent or work ethic work ethic? Why is that? Probably because I have no time to rely on work ethic. I'll give you a perfect example of somebody who had work ethic, but not much talent. And I think it's a great example is Pete Rose, whether you like him or don't like him. It doesn't matter.

2:51.1

What would they call him hustle? Charlie hustle. Yeah, Charlie hustle. Oh, Charlie.

2:56.1

Baseball player of the 70s of the decade. Sure. Right. Sure. I think if you think he was a little before my time or I wasn't in the baseball. Well, I'm ahead of you. But work ethic.

3:07.1

There are people who don't have a lot of talent, but we'll work their ass off. But I've seen I'd rather have a person and you can't teach work ethic. Right. I have hired people in the past with great talent that turned out to be great.

3:20.1

That turned out to be shit. And then I turned out hired people that had great work ethic. Maybe not the best resumes, best talent that were amazing because they want it bad enough. And when you want it bad enough, you work hard enough. That's why they.

3:33.1

So what would you rather have a team of talented individuals or a team of people with a strong work ethic? I'd rather have a team with strong work ethic because.

3:43.1

I mean, you have to sometimes don't learn a box or a box. You're getting texts or something. No, is that you? I mean, you're not, bro. No. See, you're the same dude that picked 20 million over 100.

3:56.1

And what does that go back to stupidity? No, man, you're wrong work ethic. Dude, come on, bro. This is why you pick McGregor. No, this is why freaking I'm a multi-millionaire. So what if you had, dude, listen, listen, Tony, Tony.

4:11.1

Quit being such a romantic. Yeah, you know, you want it. I'm going to, I'm going to change cliche Carly's name to cliche Tony.

4:23.1
