It's that time of year! The evening's are getting darker, it's harder to get out of bed, and it's tough to socialise... but one beacon of light every year is the 'Movember' campaign. The WOTS team chatted to people throughout Ireland about what 'Movember' means to them, what initiatives spring up around the country, and how you can help make a difference.

Imagine finding out after months or even years together that you and your partner are actually biological siblings. This is exactly what one viral online couple claimed: they discovered they were related, but said they are refusing to break up because "it's not our fault." It’s a situation that is equal parts shocking, confusing, and emotional. We're diving deep into the dilemma: Can love justify continuing a relationship like this, or is it a hard stop no matter what the circumstances? We ask: Would you say "love is love," or does blood relation automatically make it wrong? And if you were in their shoes, could you emotionally "unlove" someone after a revelation like that?

Ever rushed to an event, heart pounding with anxiety, only to arrive and discover absolutely nothing has started yet? We dive into the hilariously relatable phenomenon of "African time" and the sheer frustration of respecting schedules when others don't. From weddings where speeches drag until 11 PM to funerals that become all-day affairs, we explore why some gatherings exist in their own time zone. Our host shares the personal chaos of arriving four hours late to an event only to find they were just starting! The discussion spirals into the stress of unpredictable schedules, the agony of the hunger factor while waiting, and the hilarious tips listeners use—like telling vendors the event is a week early! Whether you're a chronic early bird or someone with a "flexible" schedule, tune in to laugh and nod in agreement! Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

This story blew up on Reddit: A woman banned her husband's friend from ever being a houseguest again after he committed a truly unbelievable crime!

Ever told a small fib that snowballed into a decades-long deception?

Remember when you'd declare, "That's it! I'm running away!" like you were the star of your own tiny drama? Zweli confesses the farthest he ever got was about five houses down before the cold and hunger brought him crawling back home (thanks, broken Christina Aguilera CD!). When kids do it, it's the biggest statement, but let's be honest it rarely lasts 15 minutes before they miss Wi-Fi or snacks. Did you ever stage your own great escape when you were a kid? How far did you get before you came back home? And here's the best part: Did your parents even notice you were gone? Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Ever handed in your resignation and immediately felt that mental checkout? On this episode of Afternoons with Swelly, we dive into the psychology behind those final days at a job you're leaving. When you've already got one foot out the door, do you maintain your professional standards or quietly shift into autopilot? A friend of mine is currently serving her notice period but is completely disengaged - yet refuses to leave early despite my suggestions to prioritize her mental health. The responses from our listeners paint a fascinating picture of workplace ethics during resignation periods. Some believe in finishing strong and leaving everything in perfect order for their replacement, while others admit to doing the bare minimum once they've handed in their notice. After all, what consequences could there possibly be when you're already on your way out? ## Timestamps & Key Takeaways: **2:15** - The mental checkout phenomenon: Why we disengage before physically leaving**5:30** - Listener Bullian shares how they stopped putting in effort after resignation with zero consequences**8:45** - The revenge factor: Working less when leaving due to poor treatment**11:20** - The opposite approach: Working harder during notice periods to "show them what they're missing"**14:10** - The ethics of training your replacement - how much effort should you put in?

Have you ever seen how some people, once they gain a bit of authority, start acting like they're part of the elite? This is a pretty common sight, whether it's the security guard on your property or a newly promoted manager at work. In certain roles, it becomes especially clear when individuals begin to inflate their sense of importance beyond what their job actually entails. So, which jobs tend to trigger this power trip, making people feel more significant than they really are? Typically, it's positions that come with increased responsibility and influence but lack the necessary checks to keep their egos in check. _______________________________________________________________________________ Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Zweli's friend had a classic run-in with a bouncer the other night—those types who act like they control your entire night’s fun. He remarked to Zweli, “He’s just mad because he peaked in life,” but unfortunately, the bouncer caught wind of it and promptly kicked him out. This incident made Zweli reflect on the importance of being polite to certain people, as they can easily complicate your life if you rub them the wrong way. Take visa officers, for instance; they hold the power to grant or deny your entry into a country, and a minor mistake or a bad attitude can derail your travel plans or career prospects. Customer service reps can either resolve your issues quickly or leave you stuck in a frustrating loop of hold music. Even a receptionist can significantly impact your day; a warm greeting can make everything smoother, while a grumpy one can turn simple tasks into a hassle. Then there are teachers and professors, whose influence on your grades can shape your educational journey. Building a good relationship with them can open doors, while a strained one might cost you valuable guidance and support. _________________________________________________________________________________ Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

Have you ever caught yourself zoning out unexpectedly during an activity? This is something many of us can relate to, whether it's during a long meeting, an exam, or even a chat with friends. Nodding off in situations where staying alert is crucial is quite common, often triggered by factors like sleep deprivation, stress, or dull surroundings. You might find yourself drifting during a tedious presentation where the speaker's voice fades into the background, or while tackling a monotonous task that fails to engage your interest. Even the gentle sway of a taxi ride can lull you into a brief nap, making it easy for your eyelids to droop and your thoughts to wander. _______________________________________________________________________________ Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

We all have that one special item that has really stood the test of time, a piece from the past that might seem old-fashioned but is still super valuable. It could be something that works just fine or something that carries a lot of sentimental value. Maybe it’s your grandma’s old kettle, a reliable friend for your morning tea, or your dad’s tough toolbox, representing skill and memories from countless projects. It could even be that vintage microwave with a dial instead of those modern buttons, a quirky addition that brings a nostalgic vibe to your kitchen. Or perhaps it’s a well-traveled blanket, one that has given comfort through every life change and has survived every move, its fabric filled with stories from the past. For some, it’s a vacuum cleaner, maybe a little worn out but still gets the job done, proving its durability in a world where things are made to break. Others might hold dear old pots, seasoned with years of cooking and family recipes, each scratch and dent a reminder of shared meals and laughter. And then there are those who cling to an old television, its bulky shape a big contrast to today’s sleek designs, yet it still brings entertainment and nostalgia in equal parts. _________________________________________________________________________________ Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

The Funniest Thing That Happened at Your School! We all hold dear that unforgettable moment from our school days when the whole class burst into laughter, unable to hold back their joy. These moments, whether planned or just a happy accident, had everyone rolling on the floor. Maybe you recall that time a cheeky student locked the teacher out of the classroom, much to the amusement of their peers. Or it could have been when someone accidentally let one rip during a crucial presentation, sending waves of giggles around the room. Perhaps it was a classmate's 'my vakansie' speech that had you gasping for breath with tears of laughter streaming down your cheeks. _________________________________________________________________________________ Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli.

#starwars #StarWarsLore #GalacticEmpireHave you ever wondered, "How in the heck did the Empire manage to survive after the Battle of Endor???" Have you ever asked how it was that good people could get so easily roped into doing terrible things, like working for a government that would call a space station the "Death Star" or "StarKILLER"?It's absolutely crazy to think how a despotic, tyrannical military force could survive a thirty year stint and still come back stronger and yet somehow dumber than ever.
