Ep 25 - The Superstitions We Still Believe As Adults… 😳
Man Like You with Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé & Eddie KadiShow Notes
What superstitions are you STILL low-key scared of as an adult? 👀
In this episode of Man Like You, Mo Gilligan, Eddie Kadi and Baba dive into the weird beliefs we grew up with — from running from the toilet monster at night to never walking under ladders and African spiritual superstitions about someone calling your name.
But the conversation quickly gets deeper…
The boys unpack: • The childhood myths we actually believed (Santa, Bigfoot & more) • Cultural superstitions Africans grow up with • Why people are scared to leave their comfort zone • Manifestation vs faith vs destiny • Whether we’re actually choosing our lives… or just picking from the options we were given
Plus: hilarious school stories, comedy industry truths, and a powerful discussion about discipline, sacrifice and turning dreams into reality.
