It's slang, it's a reference to legumes I think.

Means like "a crazy thing" in slang, I think.

That is correct. Not sure about all dialects of English but in American English, "nuts" is a slang synonym for "insane". So to say "the whole thing is nuts" could be rephrased as "the situation is crazy".
