Today we dive into the controversial and rapidly growing world of professional slap fighting. We discuss an Esquire Magazine article by Ander Monson, examining the brutal sport's appeal and the fascination with violence in American culture. Comparing it to other combat sports like MMA and NFL football, we debate the lack of skill involved, the inherent danger, and the psychological and societal implications of such violent entertainment. The conversation also touches on male machismo, the ethics of violent sports, and personal experiences with combat sports from the 1980s. Ultimately, we grapple with the question of whether promoting such savage spectacles is good for society. Larry says that at the Olson house, violence is A okay.
