Going to jump out there ping pong. It's a hobby
to me. You know, it's mainly handout coordination. Is not
much movement down bottom.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So I say a hobby, not much movement.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I mean, obviously it's movement, but like you just lateral,
you know what I'm saying.

It's o limits right, yeah, dances in the Olympics. Is
that a sport or hobby? Is a hobby?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Could it be a sport? I mean, let's define a sport.
Can we get someone to find a sport?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Define sport?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Coming in you guys, vamp, I will figure out the sport.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
It's a sport, bro, because if you're going from it's
an Olympics.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Every According to Wikipedia, sport is a form of physical
activity or game, often competitive and organized competitive.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Competitive organized organized.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Uh and a form of physical activity or game.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're dead, You're dead, You're you're bro. Have you seen
the videos broy something.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
They're over here, They're like five yards trying to turn.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
On your competitor.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Though you're always gonna match your competitor's intensity, you know
what I'm saying. But I'm going out there like yeah,
like all right, when you got when you're playing ping pong,
you don't go into it like I'm about to dominate you. Now.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We're about to have fun. We're gonna have our back
and forth and made the basket guy win.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
No, I don't know who you are. Never catch away, bro.
If you if I'm good and you're good, you're gonna.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Want to beat me.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That's what I'm saying. That's when it turns out to
the competitive. That's when it makes it competitive. But if
you're if you're good and I'm not good, that's not
just not competitive.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
That's why you learn is bowling. You can say the
same thing about Bowling's bowling a sport or recreational activity.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
To me, I'm gonna say recreation that is still because
I'm here or miss it's competitive.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
It is bowler is a sport. I'll give you that.
Bone is a sport.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That when why can't table tennis be a sport?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What about pickleball? How do you feel about pickleball? Pickleball
it's a little bit more running. Is pickleball is more
movement to me?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
So I feel like pickleball, Yes, is a sport.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yes, you think pickleball, But you don't think table tennis
is a sport.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, there's not much running.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Tennis is not much running.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It's tennis a sport?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Is tennis? Yes, but you're it's you. It's it's go ahead,
go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
You about to prove tennis?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yes? No, what was about to explain?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
You got pickleball, then you got table tennis. All of
it's the same thing. You're still moving though, unless you're
one of those.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That bro you gotta get a feel for the game.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yes, but then if you're actually playing with real competitors,
oh my god, there.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Exactly no, And.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'm all the way back here. That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So you're moving, you're working. If anything, it's hips hips yes,
and arms yes, and wrist yes, just the flick.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No legs, no, bro, I can li legs.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You can use your legs exactly from your hips, you
can use your legs. But when you use your legs,
what sport is that? Pickleball?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Huh? You use your legs on let's get a video
on here, man.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So when is ping pong pickleball? And when it's ping
pong ping pong? Now, I feel like that's where you're
getting into it. When is when is ping pong getting
closer to pickleball? And when it's ping pong closer to
ping pong?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I feel like ping pong gets closer to pickleball in
terms of like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Which you guys better at ping pong. That's what I
want to know.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I ply sate him.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
He might go, that's because he takes it as a sport, exactly,
because he's working at Are there any hobbies you have,
Carlos where you get sweaty pickleball, tackle ball?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But I considered that that's what I get set.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's why I'm trying to figure out sweat.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That competitive edge just clicks because I know, all right,
it's a sport. Ping pong, all right, man, let's let's
do it all right?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Is gaming?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's like he's gaming. Gaming's gaming record is growing.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
It's growing, just like pickleball. Pickleball is a recreation activity.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, yes it is.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But but but it's going to become a sport because
it started off as a recreational activity.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We have pickleball court. Is there any table table tennis
courts out here?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
There was last year? Wait, what do you mean out here? Yeah,
like in this building.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
No, in in Georgia. Let's just we're speaking Georgia alone.
Pickle was so pickleball. I mean, I'm sure we can
look at Is there a table in social No.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I'm sure we're gonna If I ever heard about it
because it's not a sport.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Top golf a sport. I'm just saying sport k one
a sport exactly, So why would they have if it's
not a sport?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
But what why would why would ping pong be in
the Olympics if it's not sport?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Inclusion?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Inclusion, bro, the same reason there's breakdancing. So what is
that We're just we're just bridging the gap.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
We also have not had football in the Olympics until
there's an upcoming Olympics. So you know, if we're using
first and this is a well not come on, man,
we're here. I can already tell that this is gonna
be one of the most controversial episodes that we have
ever done. So let's get to one final argument for
each of you, and then we're gonna throw it to
(07:01):
the fans for a final decision.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So it's gaming a sport?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You asked that, No, but you didn't a gaming good sport?
Speaker 2 (07:11):

call it a sport that's gaming?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Is that not?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It is?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
But it's but you in your definition it's really moving.
You're not are you know? All you're doing is moving
this or this?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Okay, I didn't say you're not moving your hits right,
depends what it could be on like the Xbox Connect.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
That's full body movement.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
No one's competing for that. Why not unconnect? Just dance?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes they were, Yes, they were. They had leader boards.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Dude, they're playing siege call it two k fifa.
