MAQ Your Way Out: The "What Did You Just Say?" Survival Guide

It is a moment that makes your stomach instantly drop. You think you’ve perfectly timed a quiet, under-the-breath grumble about a colleague, a partner, or a boss—only for the room to go dead silent. On this episode of MAQ Your Way Out, Zweli and the team dive into the pure panic of being caught murmuring something negative and having to explain your way out of it on the spot. We dish out real-life examples of the ultimate "panic pivots," from turning a muttered insult into a sudden, aggressive cough, to pretending you were actually just reciting the lyrics to a fast-paced amapiano track. With honest advice and hilarious listener confessions, we look at the art of the smooth exit and when it’s better to just own the slip-up. Backed by MAQ Auto Liquid, we are showing you how to wash away the awkwardness and handle life’s stickiest social stains with total poise. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.   Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.    Thank you for listening to an Afternoons with Zweli podcast   Listen live on Primedia+ weekdays from 12:00 to 15:00 (SA Time) to Afternoons with Zweli broadcast on 947 https://www.primediaplus.com/station/947   For more from the show go to https://buff.ly/FeeL6wY or find all the catch-up podcasts here https://buff.ly/pRBikjo   Subscribe to the 947 Weekly Newsletter here https://buff.ly/hf9IuR9   Follow us on social media      947 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/947Joburg/   947 on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@947joburg   947 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/947joburg   947 on X https://x.com/947    947 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@947Joburg  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
