Happy 250th birthday, America. If sports come up at your barbecue this weekend, this is your save-it episode. Amy and co-host Scott break down the three storylines everyone will be talking about, no stats required: the World Cup that has the whole country watching, the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, and the worst national anthem performances of all time.

Expect Norway's wild food haul, Erling Haaland's beef-heart diet, Messi's historic run, Joey Chestnut's comeback from probation, and anthem disasters from Roseanne Barr to Steven Tyler. Save it for your happy hour or cookout, then follow for more sports news you'll want to spill.

In this episode:

  • Why Norway flew in its own food (including 250 lbs of brown cheese)

  • Haaland's Viking diet and the Telemundo commercial drama

  • Messi makes World Cup history

  • Joey Chestnut's probation comeback and wildest records

  • Miki Sudo, the women's hot dog GOAT

  • The most infamous national anthem fails ever
