Unaccustomed to seeing a full room and orders piling up, Julien begins to panic during the test service organized by production. “I'm wasting my money on a service that could be simple and quick, but I can't do it. It's not okay“, announces the forty-year-old. While Philippe Etchebest is talking with Stéphanie, the manager present in the room, a sound of falling plates is heard in the kitchen. “Put it to the side“, insists Philippe Etchebest, who warns the cameramen about the pieces of glass on the ground. The cameras are then placed. “Wake up!“, says Stéphanie continuously, panicked while Philippe Etchebest calls for cold water. Worried, Stéphanie asks if her partner is breathing. “He breathes, he moves, there he is in PLS (lateral safety position, editor’s note)“, reassures Philippe Etchebest.

But faced with this impressive discomfort, Philippe Etchebest decided to call the firefighters. “Given Julien's condition, with my team, we decided to stop everything and call emergency services“, he declares. Sirens blaring and lights flashing, the firefighters arrive. In the meantime, Julien has regained his senses a little and is sitting on a chair, outside the establishment. “I didn't have time to turn around. He was shaky. He was weird. In my opinion, he fell clean“, he reported to the emergency services. Impressive images but fortunately not serious. “Julien was examined by the firefighters. It seems he had vagal discomfort. So the service ends there“, asks Philippe Etchebest. After a little rest, Julien was able to speak with the Best Worker in France and explain to him the reasons for this physical exhaustion.
