This week, Lesley & Stacy are diving into the cultural quirks and beliefs that stuck with us long after childhood - aka, all the superstitions we inherited (and maybe still follow). From the iconic Portuguese rooster to the deep-rooted fear of catching a cold from… wet hair?? Yep, we’re unpacking it all.

We talk:

• The legend behind the Galo de Barcelos 🐓
• Why wearing a jacket became a moral obligation
• The war on wet hair and cold feet
• House shoes, slipper politics, and crumb-related trauma
• And the mysterious "needle test" that “predicts” how many kids you’ll have

Sprinkled in, of course, are a few chaotic kid stories, cultural call-outs, and laughs about how these things still lowkey run our lives. Come for the folk tales, stay for the barefoot confessions.
