The World Cup curtain has fallen, but the pop culture aftermath is just heating up! On this edition of News It or Lose It, Zweli breaks down all the wild, confusing, and brilliant music news dominating the headlines following the global football finale.

First up, we unpack Post Malone’s bizarre new single debut, Chrome Heartbreaker. Teased during the World Cup halftime festivities, Posty's strange fusion of country twang and hip-hop beats has left fans thoroughly confused. Speaking of the halftime show, we dissect the chaos surrounding K-pop kings BTS and their performance of Dynamite which was unfortunately plagued by major sound and lighting glitches. Plus, Zweli reacts to Justin Bieber’s strangely underwhelming set and the deeply awkward on-field appearance by Ronaldinho!

On a brighter note, pop royalty Ariana Grande is officially kicking off her next era. We obsess over the teasers for her upcoming album Petal, including her gorgeous, vintage 35mm film music video for the title track a heartfelt love letter dedicated to her fans.

If you need your daily fix of entertainment news, viral moments, and unfiltered pop culture debriefs, tune in now!

News It or Lose It: Spidey teasers, Beyoncé, and Mzansi crime thrillers!

When a former UK Prime Minister made headlines for heading straight to the pub after resigning, it struck a massive chord worldwide! After all, who hasn't quit a job and immediately needed to blow off some serious steam?

On this episode of Word on the Street, Zweli opens up the airwaves to ask the 947 family: What is the absolute first thing you did after quitting a job? The responses from Joburg listeners are an incredible mix of hilarious, inspiring, and downright outrageous!

We hear from a former engineer who walked away from a toxic workplace to pursue acting, a woman who dumped her corporate ladder to open a bakery, and a listener who threw caution to the wind with a spontaneous bungee jump. But the ultimate shocker? One caller reveals how he kept driving a Mercedes-Benz dealership car for a full month after handing in his resignation!

Whether you're planning your own dramatic exit, reminiscing about a past resignation, or just looking for a good laugh at the sheer madness of workplace exits, this episode is a must-listen.
