This edition of The Five Count featured an exclusive interview with musician Fred Thomas. Fred is best known as the former bassist for James Brown & The J.B.’s. Playing on hits like The Payback, Get on the Good Foot and Papa Don’t Take No Mess, Fred played with James Brown for more than 30 years. During the show he discussed his years playing with James Brown, what it was like playing with more than one drummer at a time, and transitioning to fronting his own band. We got on the good foot!

During the rest of the show we tried to figure out why people get excited for films with obscure comic book characters, discussed the recent sexual misconduct allegations involving pro wrestler Ric Flair, and explained how Ton tricked Dustin into quitting his job. Ton spent the show wearing short shorts!
