This week we dive into all things frisson. What is it? Who gets it? Why does it happen? We break down the science behind this shiver-inducing phenomenon, explore who experiences it, and then spill our own personal frisson triggers—everything from powerful instrumentals and iconic movie scenes to Madeleine’s newly discovered frisson-inducing audiobooks.

Then, in true Funny Pair fashion, because it wouldn’t be an episode without us getting completely derailed, we somehow end up in the pits of YouTube, uncovering the chaotic world of ASMR… and yes, even hot-sauce Pepsi. You’ll have to tune in to hear how we got there.

Funny Pair, checking out! Stay tuned for new episodes every Wednesday!
