Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast

Today we're going back to ye olde Nippon to talk about Date Masamune, which sounds like a bad Japanese relationship show or something, but it's pronounced Daw-Tay apparently. That's not where the bad names end either, since this dude picks up a nickname that I'm sure was badass at one point in history, but super didn't age well. Despite all that, this dude is one hardcore bad motherfucker. And he super didn't take any shit. Listen in as we talk about all the ass kicking this guy did, and enjoy!
