Episode 662: Count Dante Part I - The Deadliest Man Alive

This week, the boys spin kick their way into the wild world of Count Dante, a Chicago karate instructor who built his legend on claims of the “Death Touch” and a reputation as the "Deadliest Man" who ever lived. Through outrageous comic book ads and his own "Fighting Society", Dante sold a vision of lethal mastery that blurred the line between myth and reality... But what started as martial arts fantasy quickly spiraled into real-world violence, ending in one of the most infamous real-life dojo showdowns in American history.
