It’s a thrill to stand and, raise your arms, maybe give a woo! then sit down again, especially if you’re in a sports stadium. And especially if you’re doing it as part of a Wave.
# The Wave Summary
Ever wonder where that stadium tradition of everyone standing up in sequence to create a wave effect actually came from? This episode dives into the surprisingly contentious origin story of the wave, featuring two cheerleaders who both claim to have invented it just two weeks apart in 1981, plus the hilarious feud that followed. You'll also discover the surprising science behind what makes a wave work, why most of the world calls it the Mexican wave instead, and why some people are so passionate about stopping it that they've created entire websites dedicated to the cause.
