What actually counts as a sport… and when did the definition start getting blurry?

In this episode of At The Mic: Friday Happy Hour, Keith Malinak is joined by guest Zeynep Yenisey explores a deceptively simple question that quickly turns into a real debate. From tennis and its surprising health benefits to backyard games like cornhole, the conversation challenges where the line between competition and recreation actually exists.

Along the way, the discussion branches into viral animal stories, bizarre news, AI-generated content, ticketing controversies, and cultural observations that add unexpected layers to the conversation.’
