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!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
