Interestingly enough, he felt that he had the upper hand over Green in dominoes because of his mother. Toscona-Anderson’s mother plays a lot of dominoes and he has learned a lot playing with her.

He said, at the very start of the interview, “My mom plays dominoes a lot so I learned from her. She plays it actually more often than I do, pretty often. That’s something that we like to do when passing time. But seeing that I don’t get to go home that often, its very minimal for me. I’m gonna actually enjoy kicking your a** brother.”
