(ball rattling) - Penn, what are they playing?
(dramatic music)
- It's like ping pong and badminton had a baby.
- Is that a wiffle ball?
What is this, a PE class for seniors?
- Pickleball?
I mean, I love pickles but we're way too young to play this.
- I think this is for retirees.
So when I retire, I'll give it a go.
- Does it even count as actual exercise?
- And that sound?
Dink, dink, dink, it's kind of annoying.
- It looks so easy.
Almost too easy.
- Why is everyone smiling?
- Sports aren't about smiling.
Sports are about winning.
- Old friend, you should try this.
- No thank you, this looks kind of ridiculous.
- Okay, have a great day, then.
- They're all so cheerful. - So annoying.
- Wait, this major construction in our neighborhood
is for a pickleball court?
- What is happening?
(dramatic music) (balls clinking)
- People are lined up to play pickleball?
- Is this like a popular sport?
- Is that a pickleball vanity plate?
- On a Tesla?
- Is pickleball the future?
Kevin Durant plays pickleball.
Jamie Fox is in a pickleball commercial?
- So wait, there are teams
and professional pickleball players?
- LeBron James owns a pickleball team?
- So it's an actual sport.
Okay, also that guy is ripped.
- Okay.
- He is definitely not a senior citizen.
- Okay, fine.
(light music)
- I guess I could try it.
- I mean the weather's nice,
so I guess it won't be a complete waste of time
being outside.
- There is a pickleball option
on my watch so I mean I guess I could just
get credit for exercise.
- Huh, look at that.
- I mean it doesn't sound great, but it feels pretty good.
- I mean I guess I could upgrade these paddles
or buy some new clothes.
- I know it looks easy, but there is some skill involved.
I mean.
Okay, I've played one time and for some reason
this sport has made me wanna commit completely.
(dramatic music)
- I wanna take a lesson or two.
Or like a package of 12.
- Go with the 12, it's better value.
- I do have a tennis lesson tomorrow night.
- Cancel it. - And we were
supposed to go bowling. - Cancel that.
- Yep, we're pickleballers. - This is who we are now.
- No, I don't have time.
I'll miss the meeting 'cause my net game needs work.
- I've printed out the rules.
- Let's sit here and learn all of them.
- It's all about the kitchen and that third shot.
- Honey, how long have we been here?
- Three hours.
- What? - Feels like 20 minutes.
(dramatic music)
- I'm gonna see if we can get somebody
to get the kids from school. - They can walk home.
- Yeah, three miles will do 'em some good.
So don't know if you noticed, but I upgraded our paddles.
- Yes. - What do you think?
- That honeycomb polymer gives me maximum spin.
- I know, I think we're ready for a tournament.
- We are so flipping good.
- Did you see that dig shot?
- You look like Ben fricken John.
Should we open a pickleball themed restaurant?
- Yes. - Serve pickles
and like pickle flavored things.
- Yes. - That's our restaurant.
Also make pickle beer. - 100%.
We are so good at pickleball.
- Get outta the kitchen.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
- I thought you said you wanted to get
serious about this, honey. - No, I do.
Come on, let's play again.
- They're gonna call that every time in the tournament.
Every time.
- Oh, look you're back.
So glad to see ya.
- I'm gonna take you down, Doreen.
(light music)
- And scene!
It's pickleball, y'all. - Yeah, we, true story,
we just shot this video at 12, no, 11 o'clock on a Tuesday.
And it was like impossible to find a court.
- I'm ready to dedicate my life to pickleball.
We're even making t-shirts, you guys.
This is how deep we are into this process.
- We live in the south-- - All the pickle puns.
- Yeah, we live in the south,
so we went with pickleball y'all.
- But we're, y'all, all are welcome.
- That's welcome to anyone
- All are welcome.
- Yeah, like y'all are all welcome to buy this t-shirt.
(Kim laughs)
We really haven't had a ton of time to play lately,
but just shooting this video, you swung the paddle,
like what, eight times and you were--
- Came back.
- It just, it all came back to you.
- Yes.
- [Penn] Let's talk about what happened.
We didn't give you the nicest outfit.
- No, and this is actually like a paper,
it's a plastic bag, I'm wearing a plastic bag,
so it's splitting at the seams.
I put my jeans on.
I didn't wanna, you know, these are little see through.
- [Penn] If you didn't notice during the video.
- If you didn't know, then now you know.
