Here we go with episode number 269. This one is called Chuck really wants me to be friends with Nick Searcy.

Because you do, don't you? I made it into the title. That's it. We had other titles. I wanted to go with Nick Searcy as justified, but hey, my name's in the title. This is a big day for me. That's 100% truthful. I met Nick Searcy. From the minute I did, I was like, oh, this is Mike's kind of guy. He's a funny guy, an interesting guy, and you're both very talented. Tell people who Nick Searcy is for people who don't know who Nick Searcy is.

I mean, I certainly know who he is.

I've been a fan of his for many, many years, but there's some people who might not know him.

Nick Searcy is a fantastic character actor, been in a million things.

I believe he said his first film was Days of Thunder, where he had a scene with Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall.

Right.

And his big break, he said, was fried green tomatoes where he got hired locally in North

Carolina.

He was in New York.

That's where he met his wife.

They moved back to North Carolina to raise kids.

And he got hired locally for fried green tomatoes and they bumped

him up to a big part. He was like the bad guy in that. Yeah, it was the heavy, Frank. He also was

in three billboards outside of Ebbing, Missouri, I think it is. I think I'm getting that right.

The shape of water. He's done a million different

things. But, but, but about, I don't know how many years ago, you said to me, Chuck,

you ever seen Justified? And I'm like, no. And Nick Searcy gets second billing with Timothy

Olafont in Justified, which was an FX series in 2010 to 2016, six seasons.

I just finished last night, season six.

Was that right?

You were so right, dude.
