Doni Blair is the kind of lifer that isn't content to just sit around between tours and wait for the call. He likes to get his ass kicked. Literally. You probably know him as the bass playing dynamo in The Toadies — but an ever growing number of people know Doni as a practitioner, instructor, and advocate of martial arts training. In fact, he wrote an amazing and REALLY funny book about becoming a black belt in his 40s called EVEN IF IT KILLS ME — and you should totally buy it and read it. But even with all that, all Scott really wants to talk about is Doni's old band Hagfish. So on this episode we do that — BUT we also talk about Willie Nelson, Judo, Doni's brother Zach, having a DJ for a dad, mailbox baseball, mooning, straight-edge, a new way to say Zoetrope(?!?), first tours with Bad Brains, Only Crime, learning to play bass with a pick to get the Toadies gig, recording their new album with Steve Albini, and —thanks to Doni— the long awaited Iron Maiden round of WHAT'S THE BEST?!? is NOT going to go the way Gabe had planned.

Aaron and Randy discuss last week's guest Doni Blair, Bassists for the Toadies and tae kwon do ass kicker. They go off on many tangents and rarely circle back to say anything relevant to the topic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
