Man Like You with Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé & Eddie Kadi

Ever tried to impress someone you fancied and ended up wishing you’d stayed home?

Mo Gilligan, Eddie Kadi and Babatunde Aléshé confess their biggest dating disasters — from bringing a date to a comedy gig and bombing on stage, to a customised BMW causing embarrassment in the West End and a spontaneous trip to Spain that went wrong on night one.

Plus, who’s REALLY on the biggest power trip? The boys take on bouncers, clipboard gatekeepers, ticket inspectors and the people deciding when your wedding table can finally eat.

There’s also an honest chat about getting older, the struggle of finding something to watch before your food goes cold, and Baba’s case for talking to yourself in the car.

Who has it harder in 2026: men or women? And when it comes to dating, is “he’s got potential” actually enough?

Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé and Eddie Kadi get into women’s everyday safety concerns, the pressure on men to provide, and what ambition really looks like when you’re still figuring life out.

Then the public etiquette complaints come flying: loud FaceTime calls, people standing WAY too close, sweaty gym equipment and BMW drivers who think they own the road. Plus, the boys revisit the childhood toys that made them feel rich—and explain why Costco is now their adult toy shop 😂

“Stop crying before I give you something to cry about.” But… I’m already crying! 😂Actor, writer and producer David Ajao joins Mo Gilligan and Babatunde Aleshe to unpack the things our parents said that made absolutely no sense—and the advice we only understood once we grew up.From Nigerian childhood punishments to Baba having to pay to get his own shoe back at his wedding, the stories keep coming. Mo gets roasted for thinking quiche was posh, Arsenal memories turn into a passionate rant, and the boys debate whether using an umbrella can really give someone the ick.David also shares how he helps Mo and Baba write comedy that sounds like them—and why one word can make all the difference to a joke.What saying did you ALWAYS hear growing up?

Tez Ilyas brings his top five sportspeople to Man Like You… and the room is not ready for Kurt Angle. 😂

Blackburn’s own joins Mo Gilligan, Eddie Kadi and Babatunde Aléshé to talk working at the Home Office, an auntie who only wanted immigration favours, and the comedy gig where he’d rather have been heckled.

Then it’s into the things adulthood promised but never delivered, a South Asian food ranking that needs defending, and the fashion brands the boys want back. Add an outrageous shoe roast and Mo asking Tez to “name the breads”, and nobody’s getting through this one quietly.

Does Kurt Angle deserve a place in a top five?
Which old-school fashion brand needs a comeback?

Mo Gilligan, Babatunde Aléshé and Eddie Kadi are back around the table for Episode 50 — and somehow a simple conversation turns into a full-scale attack on airlines, dating, holidays and the little things people do that drive us MAD. 😂

Mo has finally had enough of airport behaviour — from people crowding the baggage carousel to “speedy boarding” that isn’t speedy at all — while the boys ask what they’d abolish if they had unlimited power for 24 hours.

Then things get dangerously honest: what would first dates actually sound like if men told the COMPLETE truth? 😂 Budgets are being calculated, starters are being cancelled and somebody needs to make sure the date finishes before Uber prices kick in.

Plus, the boys debate overrated holiday destinations, dream trips to Japan, Rio, Cuba, Congo and Nigeria, and start cooking up an idea that genuinely needs to happen… a Man Like You travel show. 👀🌍
