Waywut

Mind and Body: WTF?


Listen Later

From random chills on the toilet to the urge to drive off a bridge for no reason, your body and brain are constantly throwing out bizarre signals—and in this episode of Waywut, Jason and Darrell try to explain (and survive) them.

This is your deep, weird, and hilarious dive into the science behind strange human behavior, including déjà vu, earworms, goosebumps, and the dreaded vagus nerve drop. You’ll leave with more questions than answers—and probably a little discomfort.

🧠 Inside this episode:

  • The weird genetic lottery: webbed toes, double crowns, and unexplained traits
  • What causes earworms and why “Tubthumping” might be your brain’s worst enemy
  • Déjà vu and “jamais vu” — are we glitching or just tired?
  • Why you get goosebumps during emotional moments (or when sitting on cold porcelain)
  • The terrifying-but-normal impulse known as the Call of the Void
  • And yes… a thorough discussion of poop-induced euphoria and toilet fainting

It’s science, it’s stupid, and it’s all very real.

👉 Follow Waywut for weekly episodes on weird human behavior, bizarre facts, dark humor, and the messy reality of being alive.
