Episode Transcript
Time for Nina is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
So scientists are studying something called grumpy old Man syndrome.
It's a real thing, and apparently it turns out that
it's something that men go through similar to PMS, but
it's called IMS irritable Male syndrome. It's a lesser known
condition affecting men that mirrors similar aspects of PMS, So
you might not be having cramps and stuff, but you're
(00:23):
experiencing hormonal fluctuations and mood and behavioral changes. Allegedly, yes,
they're still studying it to fully understand it because we've
known that men's.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Hormones will say that all the time. You know, they'll
be like men get there like time of the month too,
and I wasn't like yeah, right, but apparently we do well.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's been interesting to see, like, there's this one person
that I follow on social media. It's the guy that
talks about men's hormones and with the intention of helping
women communicate with men better, and like, at what time,
So if a man's cycle is twenty four hours, he
was trying to explain that there's usually about five PM
is the time that you shouldn't be trying to communicate
with them because of whatever has been happening in the day,
(01:01):
Like you need to decompress and like give him that
moment to reregulate, but can't like also he tell men
how to like also communicate with women better. Well, there
are plenty of people that do that as well. You
have to choose to do the work with all this information.
It's your choice how you decide to internalize it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It makes sense. Around five o'clock, I'm usually talked out.
I just want I just don't want to talk to
anybody around then until like maybe like seven.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well it's like if you're just coming home and somebody's.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Not always talk to Victoria around that time. I usually
it's like a.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Very quick conversation and let's like keep it going.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
She always calls me to go over show stuff for
the next day. Yeah, yeah, And I was like, damn
Victoria right now.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Because I don't know, And I'm like, I know, you
don't know, but we need to pick We're gonna have
to figure it out. If that's the conversation. Even though
you guys are not romantically involved. That happens a lot
in couples because if a man's coming home the woman's
like guess what, guess what? Or oh my gosh, and
wants to talk to her person. Understandable, but this guys like,
don't do that because the man needs to recalibrate himself,
(01:58):
like hormonally. I don't know. It's really interesting thing. I
was super in on it because I was like, oh, tell.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Me more snap on Victoria today when we have our
show call later. Just sorry about that in my period.
That's not a great excuse for that. Okay, It's always
happens this time of day. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
But also, you men don't get to abuse I MS.
Why still at work all the time with PMS?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So you're good? And why don't they have cramps because
they don't have what we have?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, yeah, but I have cramps.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think they should also have cramps. I agree with you.
And they do have misad cramps from the conversations at
five okay, but my brain cramps terrible.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
They do have those cramp inducer. I think you can
get them on Amazon. A lot of people are like,
I'm feeling this.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I want you to feel it too.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Actually give you the same, and they'll give you these
like little electronic things that your body.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Sure, I mean I don't. Yeah, I'll do it, but
I have never taken that away from many women. I'm it,
I would hate to have that kind of thing. But
it was actually very empathetic. He looks like he's like, man,
that sucks. I'm that sucks so much to have to do.
Like I I've always been understanding of that because I
think about it. For me, I'm like, if I had
to if that happened to my body once a month,
(03:14):
I would be a mess. Yeah I would. I would not.
I wouldn't even want to do this whole thing anymore.
I'd be like, dude, every single month is gonna happen.
I'm not going to stay here that long. He's tired
of this. This is terrible. My allergies act up, you know,
constantly during the day, and like I have, I'm like,
I just can't do this any more. Allergies. Like imagine
if I was having cramps and things are you know,
(03:37):
it would be a mess.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And this is why women have them and men don't
because we have a higher pain tolerance and threshold for
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Oh yea, how it was worked.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Out in the world anyway. Blame that whole conversation is
what's trending
