Tez Ilyas Worked At The HOME OFFICE?! | Man Like You #51

LIVE SHOW JUST ANNOUNCED!!! 18 OCTOBER 2026 - 7PM - https://utcmgmt.com/t/order/6/man-lik... Tez Ilyas used to work at the Home Office… and that’s just the start. 😂 Blackburn’s own joins Mo Gilligan, Eddie Kadi and Babatunde Aléshé, brings a top five sportspeople list with Kurt Angle in it, and gets asked to “name the breads”. 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? Get involved in the comments.
