Thank you in advance

Than you for answering. But what I am confused is to select singular veRBI or plural verb with two gerunds which are connected with a conjunction.
E.g. Playing soccer and watching TV is fun or are fun.

whcih verb is correct?

Watching TV and smoking pot is fun - two simultaneous activities.
Playing soccer and watching TV are fun - two distinct activities.
