The Phick pairing is what gave Nick all of those hilarious nicknames. He stood there with his hands in his pockets while the loud, scenery chewing, line-stepping, abrasive MS led him around by his nutsack. JM was enjoying the ride of getting good pay to come to work and play his frat boy self. No long pages of dialogue to remember, no emotion, just simulate sex and drinking beer. Good gig if you can get it.
I did not see chemistry with Shadam at all, but I do admit that NOLA was hot!
