I pulled him aside and told him, 'Hey, man. I'm hearing stuff in the locker room. What's up?' 'Oh, there's nothing wrong.' It was a blatant lie to my face. I was trying to help him. And he lied to my face.

Moreover, Henry was critical of Rush saying that he wasn't getting paid enough to hire a rental car and pay for his hotel every week. Henry fired back by saying that there's something wrong with the way he spends and that the office shouldn't be blamed.
