“He plays the game a little bit, right. He plays into… he knows when the cameras are on, he’s been trained”, said Anderson. With the hosts of the podcast agreeing to this suggestion, Anderson went further. “I think he was doing the right things, he just wasn’t touching people the right way”, said Anderson.
