Ep 23 - The Lies We Tell Ourselves Everyday đ€Ł
Man Like You with Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé & Eddie KadiShow Notes
In this episode of Man Like You, Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aleshe, and Eddie Kadi kick things off with the small stuff â morning routines, gym habits, hot water vs coffee, and the lies we all tell ourselves about waking up at 5AM and getting our lives together.
The guys talk about things people pretend to like, awkward small talk, comedy green room culture, football banter, and the strange social rules we all follow without questioning them.
But the episode also takes an unexpected turn into deeper territory â grief, loss, betrayal, heartbreak, and how people want to be remembered when theyâre gone.
From hilarious stories about pretending to go gym⊠to honest reflections on life, friendship and legacy, this is one of the most open conversations the trio have had. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
