Scientists Say Men Have “That Time of Day”… and It Explains A Lot

On today’s Nina’s What’s Trending, a surprising study has everyone rethinking mood swings, hormones, and why some conversations should not happen after 5 PM. Scientists are exploring something called Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS)—a real condition that mirrors parts of PMS and may explain sudden attitude shifts, emotional shutdowns, and end-of-day grumpiness.

The conversation quickly turns hilarious (and brutally honest) as the crew debates male hormones, communication timing, workplace survival, and whether men could ever handle what women deal with monthly. Is this science… or just a convenient excuse?

Listen for the laughs, the relatable moments, and the hot takes that will absolutely change how you think about end-of-day conversations.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day with NINAS. What's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
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 mirror similar aspects of PMS, So
you might not be having cramps and stuff, but you're

(00:24):
experiencing hormonal fluctuations and mood, mood and behavioral changes. Allegedly, yes,
they're still studying it to fully understand it because we've
known that men's hormones.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Says 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 (00:41):
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 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,

(01:02):
Like you need to decompress and like give him that
moment to reregulate.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Since around five o'clock I'm usually talked out. You just
don't want to talk to anybody around then until like
maybe like seven.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, it's like if you're just coming home and somebody's.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Not always talk to Victoria around that time. Usually it's
like a.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Very quick conversation and let's keep it going.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
She always calls me to go over show stuff for
the next day. Yeah. Yeah, And I was like, damn
Victoria right now because that's 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.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
That's a 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 guy's like, don't do that because the man
needs to recalibrate himself like hormonally, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's really interesting thing. I was super in on it
because I was like, oh, tell me more. I'm going
to snap on Victoria today when we have our show
call later. Just sorry about that in my period. That's
not a great excist for that, okays this time of day. Okay. Also,
you men don't get to abuse. I MS also still
at work all the time with the amsah, so you're good.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
And why don't they have cramps because they don't have
what we have? Well, yeah, but I have cramps.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I think they should also have cramps. I agree with you.
And they do have machinad cramps from the conversations at five. Okay,
but my brain cramps terrible.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
If they do have those cramp inducer, I think you
can get them on Amazon, and a lot of people
are like, I'm feeling this.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I want you to feel it too.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Actually, they'll give you these like little electronic things that
like you look your body.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Sure, yeah, I'll do it. But I have never taken
that away from any women. I get it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I would hate to have that kind of thing. Well,
was actually very empathetic. He looks somebody He's like, man
that sucks. I'm sorry so much to have to do.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Like I I've always been understanding of that because I
think about it for me. I'm like, if that happened
to my body once a month, I would be a mess. Yeah,
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. I'm tired
of this. This is terrible. My allergies act up constantly
during the day, and like I have, I'm like, I

(03:14):
just can't do this any more. Allergies. Like imagine if
I was going cramps and things are no, I would
be a mess.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
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 (03:26):
Oh yeas, and painted how it was worked out in
the world. Anyway, This is lame.
