This week’s episode is your shortcut to sounding smart about summer sports — without breaking a sweat.
From Wimbledon traditions, like everyone must wear white, to the chaos of the Running of the Bulls and Brad Pitt driving in an actual Formula 1 race, Amy and Scott break down Europe’s biggest sports moments with a pop culture twist. You’ll also get the scoop on the Tour de France, Rufus the hawk (Wimbledon’s official pigeon chaser), and what to say when someone brings up hot dog eating contests over 4th of July BBQs.
In this episode, we cover:
Wimbledon fun facts and why grass courts matter
How the Running of the Bulls became a white-linen-adjacent tradition
Brad Pitt’s F1 film and behind-the-scenes racing stories
Tour de France terms you can casually drop into conversation.
The real MVP of summer sports: air conditioning
Perfect for: Non-sports fans who still want to join the conversation at parties, work, or family events.
Sports Curious, presented by Last Night's Game, is here to take the awkwardness out of the conversation and help you join the sports conversation, even if you don't know the first thing about sports. We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
