"他经常生气。 "不就行了吗?

@ DJ Jammur -- Take a look at the Wikipedia article on Chinese Adjectives, particularly the section with the headings Predicative (after nouns) & First Pattern: Unlike English, subjects and predicates adjectives in a Chinese sentence are not linked by copula but by degree adverbs, such as 很 hěn "very," 好 hǎo "highly," 真 zhēn "really," and 非常 fēicháng "extraordinarily, extremely."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_adjectives?wprov=sfla1

Because you have to have a degree adverb to accompany a free-standing, affirmative, predicate adjective, the most basic level of these, 很, can basically be ignored in this structure.

"He is often angry" could be a better translation. Or "he is angry often"

The audio is not very clear, sounds both like 热情 and 生气 to me
