Episode 663: Count Dante Part II - The Dojo War of 1970
5/8/20261 hr 21 min
This week, the boys conclude the story of Count Dante with the infamous 1970 Dojo War, a brutal clash that left one man dead and Dante’s legend in ruins. From comic book ads and "the Dragon Lady" to bullfighting stunts, scams, and spiraling violence, the Deadliest Man Alive finally loses control of his own myth. And after the dust settles, Dante crashes headfirst into crime, chaos, and a very real body count.

[suspenseful music] There's no place to escape to.
Ed Larson· Guest0:02
This is the last podcast- On the left [laughs] Why must I live?
Marcus Parks· Host0:09
That's when the cannibalism started.
Ed Larson· Guest0:10
What was that?
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:13
[upbeat music] Oh, yes!
Marcus Parks· Host0:18
All right.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:19
[choking] Do you wanna start?
Marcus Parks· Host0:22
Are you practicing death?
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:23
[choking] No, I practice death when I sleep.
Marcus Parks· Host0:27
Oh, man. It's good. It's good. I, I do that when I... I stop breathing every night.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:31
See, well, you do that- I work really hard on it. Yeah.
Marcus Parks· Host0:33
[laughs] Medically, I have for many... So many years, I've been working on it. I've been getting my neck fatter and fatter and fatter.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:37
Yeah.
Marcus Parks· Host0:37
And it presses on my larynx when I sleep, and so sometimes I don't breathe, and I'm still here.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:43
Well, you see?
Marcus Parks· Host0:43
[laughs] Can't stop me.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:44
Can't kill you, dude.
Marcus Parks· Host0:45
Can't kill me.
Henry Zebrowski· Host0:46
Do you- Can't kill me, dude. Can imagine, in my mind- [laughs] ... Count Dante should have a martial arts solution- Yeah ... to sleep apnea. [laughs] Because if any of i- of any martial artist groups of henchmen had sleep apnea- Yeah ... it's guys in Count Dante's crew.
Marcus Parks· Host1:02
I don't know how he died, but I think that sleep apnea is high in the running.
Henry Zebrowski· Host1:07
Oh, I think that if there were- [laughs] ... a man whose sleep apnea was his mortal enemy- [laughs] ... it would be Count Dante.
Marcus Parks· Host1:13
Trust me, it's a fat man's death. [laughs] He's not a fat man himself, but it is a... Well, let's say it's an unhealthy man's death.
Henry Zebrowski· Host1:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Marcus Parks· Host1:20
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski· Host1:20
He lived a fat man's life.
Marcus Parks· Host1:22
He did, while himself still being quite the martial arts expert.
Henry Zebrowski· Host1:26
Huh.
