  Speaker 1: Wake up with a bang and the club nine four seven.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This has happened to majority of us at least once
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: or twice in our professional life. Uh and for a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: lot less of you, but we were on the receiving
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: end of your behavior. This has happened to you where
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you rock up to work and you're smelling off.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Boothe you are or someone else's someone else's so.

  Speaker 1: But maybe you are, Maybe you are the someone else. Yes,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: there's a drinker. There's a drink.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Exactly, That's what I'm saying. Look, I think this, I
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: mean this obviously happens.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I've been a situation where we are in a professional
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: environment and I can smell.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Someone someone's had maybe drinks from the nights before, or
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: is it like that morning you.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Can smell drinks of the night before, because you can
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: smell sleep.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: As well in the worst smell.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, but there's times where you can smell
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that somebody's drinking on the job. What's the procedure? Do
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we rad them out? Do you go to your boss?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Do you go to the person who smells like booths
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to be like, hey, yo, brah, what gives you smell
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: like booze?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I think if if they work in an environment where
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: them either still being intoxicated or hungover may affect the
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: safety of other people and how they do their job,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: then absolutely, you know, like if you're driving, operating heavy machinery,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: et cetera. Some of those companies actually breathalyze their staff yea,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: at the start of a shift. Everyone, Hey, everyone gets
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: breath the live then you absolutely have to report it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: There are factories where you everyone walking onto the premises
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: gets breadth the liveed like you're not allowed and it's
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: just the standard procedure, like all right, putting your skin
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: your finger and then breath the lies quickly.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But not on the radio, guys.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I mean every self respecting station knows once or twice.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: The presenters arrive a little slightly.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Happy, a lot, yes, the lingering around what do you think.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I did to survive? You don't dress man?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Oh one one eight thirty eight nine four seven. What
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: is your company policy and procedure if somebody is bust
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: drinking on the job, and then what's your personal one?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Like where you like, Ah, none of my business. I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: not writing them out. Geraldin was going through a divorce
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that lady needed a little bit of a note every
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: now and then, you know, to deal with that treacherous man.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And then do you just like mind your business or
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: are you do you snitch and say no, we should
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: not be drinking on the job.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: And I think we'll get a few of these where
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you can vent a little and say that someone reported
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you because maybe you had a few wines too many
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of the night before, but it wasn't you know, someone
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: just did it because they could, for example, and then
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: you had to sit in HR and explain.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I always ask myself, okay, you now, who smells of booze?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Can you don't smell that? You smell like an sap
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Christmas party?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Don't smell yourself?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: No, you can. You can frank you know when it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: cutting out your paws. Yeah, on a hot day and
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: we can all smell you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I just think you expect everybody to be an ostrich
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: hide your heads in the sand. But definitely, the fact,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the fact that you can smell your umpets means that
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: if you smell like gin's coming out of your post,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that you can definitely smell like o girl about yesterday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So you should check yourself before you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Check yourself, before you wreak yourself zero eight four double
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: zero double zero nine four seven. What's your company pot
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to see if somebody suspected of, you know, being liquid
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on the job. And then most importantly, you know what
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: what's your personal one?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you want someone? Do you say happy?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You go to them and be like a chap, get
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a mint, here's a holes, there's a strip, So there's something.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I used to work in an environment where we would
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: get tested every single morning and this girl, this girl
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: was in finance, and I think she was using every day,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: and I was like, eight, it's a lon of my blessness.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: All the people blow every day. If you get bought,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: I just get same time and then you have a hearing.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Our company policy regarding that is just myself. I used
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: to work with a lady that used to pop about
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: ten drops of rescue remedy or rescue drops every half
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: an hour or so, because she said it was for
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: her anxiety. But then when I saw or when I
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: checked it, it has some it has alcohol in.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Oh well, it can't.
