Lutz presents Hollywood. The Lutz Radio Theatre brings you Wallace Beery in the Champ with Josephine Hutchinson, Noah Beery, and Bobby Lyson. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. There's a very select gallery of screen portraits that have become living memories to the people of our time, and that's about as near as any screen mortal can come to immortality. Wallace Beery's portrayal of the Champ won him a special Academy Award in 1932, a portrait still so vivid that only Wallace Beery could bring the Champ back to life in the Lutz Radio Theatre tonight. Besides the award to its star, the MGM Picture also won Academy Honours as the best original screen story of the year. So we think we have what is a blue ribbon bill backed, of course, by our blue ribbon product, Lutz Toilet soap, which has won the award of confidence from millions of women throughout the country. The Champ is the story of a father and son whose devotion took plenty of hard knocks but never went down for the count. The father happens to be a prize fighter, a former champion, but that isn't the important thing in the story. The Champ's greatest battle was fought, but wasn't fought in the ring at all. It was fought within himself to become a champion as a father, and that brings us to Dink, the vagabond son of this vagabond father. Anyone who saw the picture will remember the tear-stained face of Jackie Cooper as he stood by the Champ against the world. Jackie's about seven years too old for the part now, but we asked him to help us out by suggesting a young actor to play the boy in the Champ tonight. His suggestion and our choice was Bobby Larson. Bobby is the lad who read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in the picture Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Wallace Beery's in friendly company tonight, for his brother Noah Beery is here to play the part of Tony. And as Linda, we have Miss Josephine Hutchinson, one of Hollywood's most able dramatic actresses, so we ring up the curtain on act one of the Champ, starring Wallace Beery in the title role with Josephine Hutchinson as Linda, Noah Beery as Tony, and Bobby Larson as Dink. Just below the California border lies the sprawling little town of Tijuana, famous during the Prohibition era as a mecca for American tourists. Its muddy unpaved spritz were an endless procession of bars and gambling halls, where tourists and native rubbed shoulders in an atmosphere of desperate gaiety, of noise and smoke, and the spicy odors of Mexican food. The streets are ablaze now for a Saturday night, and the town is at its merriest. Threading his way through the crowd comes a ragged dirty-faced boy, Dink Purcell. Though he's only seven, he walks with confidence for Dink is at home in this boiling border town. Not me, no sir. I ain't gotta find him. There's a couple of guys waiting up the Greeks. They got a fight lined up for him. A fight?  That'll make no difference. He's still the greatest fighter in the world. Sure, Dink. I didn't say nothing. If the chant wins this fight, he said he's gonna buy me a horse. A real horse? Now whatcha think? A wooden one? A real horse. A man, old man. Come on, Jonah. Help me look for the champ. Okay. Maybe he's down to Louis.  Yeah, top of the heap. World's champion again, eh? I'll be the world's champ again. You watch and see. Sure, I'll watch. That's a buck for you, old man champ. You wanna play now? Sure, sure, sure. Hey, champ, champ! Well, well, if it ain't the little spitball, how you, Dink? Jay, champ, I've been looking all over for you. Mr. Waters are up at the Greeks. They're waiting for you. They are, Joggorn. I forgot about it. You gotta straighten up, champ. Come on. Sure, sure. Hey, Jonah, get some ice and tell Curly to open a can of tomatoes. Okay, Dink. Say, watch the matter with you. I'm all right. They've been there for over an hour. Gosh, champ, what did you have to go forget? You might've spoiled everything. Hey, Louis, listen to that kid of mine bawling me out. He's ruffling me, that kid is. Oh, Dink, I'm gonna be good from now on. Honest, no kidding. Yeah, you said that yesterday. I know, I know, but this time I'm mean and honest. Here's the ice, Dink. Okay, put the back of his neck with it.  Tomatoes again. Come on, champ. Drink this. Listen, I don't like that stuff. You gotta straighten up. Come on, drink it. One, two, three. That's right. That a boy, champ. That's terrible. That's soft. Feel all right now? Sure, I'm fine. Fix your hat. We gotta look right. Let me meet those guys. Where are they?  They're at the Greeks, I told you. Sponges there, too. He's giving you a big buildup. What do you mean, Sponges giving me a buildup? I don't need any buildup. I know, champ. Sponges just helping. That's all. Now, come on. And don't let on to him that anything's wrong, huh? Don't you worry. They won't guess, Dink. Providing nothing gets me away. This picture shows a champ wearing a diamond belt. Looks great, don't he? Yeah, he looks fine, Sponge, but after six years ago, what we want to know is how does he look right now? Same way. Absolutely. Here, be here in a minute. You can see for yourself. Yeah, that's what we're waiting for, Sponge. Well, now suppose we talk dough, huh? Now, my idea was this. Andy can still draw a big gate in San Diego or anywhere. How are you, boys? How's your, how's everybody? I, I'm funny, Sponge. He, he's working on the gym. Well, sit down, champ. You must be tired. Yeah, thanks. Well, gentlemen, what's your proposition? I was just talking that over with the boys, champ. I was saying... Wait a minute. Let us do a little talking for a change. How's your condition, Andy? Oh, me? I'm fine. Better than ever. You only have to look at me to know that. Yeah. He tore 300 bags loose last week. Didn't he, champ? Sure. Stand up, Andy. What for? We want to take a look at you. Okay, sure. What do you think, huh? Feel that arm? Hard as a rock. I'm as good now as... Partly must've been something I had. Yeah. Seen enough, Harry? I guess so. Well, now that we're all set, what about the gate? We ought to get 20% at least. We're giving it to you, Sponge. All of it. Huh? The fight's off. Sorry, Andy. No can do. I don't get you. No? You've probably heard this before. Maybe the night you lost the championship. Booze fighting and price fighting don't make sense. What are you talking about? There's nothing to matter with me. Nothing, see?  Come on, Harry. Yeah. Sorry, champ. Well, that settles it. Now, fine time, you pick, champ. The night of all nights you had a...   Hey, Dink, come here. You don't believe what that guy said about me? About me not being right when I lost the champion?  No. You know I wouldn't lie to you, would you? Yeah. Sure. Had a boy, had a boy, I guess... I guess I'll hit the hay. Oh, I don't bend over. I don't lace your shoes. Oh, no. I can do that. Oh, give me your foot. Dink, listen. I would have been all right tonight. Only there were some people who invited me. Well, you know how it is, don't you? Sure. Lay down on the bed.  Oh, you don't have to treat me like I couldn't take care of myself. Oh, go ahead. You ought to get some sleep. Oh, what's that? A dart. Here, I'll ask the guard, huh? Yes, so. Here, Dink. Spit on it, Dink. Go ahead. Go ahead for luck. Spit on it. Okay. Attaboy. You know things are going to change now, Dink. You wait until you see... I'm going to behave myself from now on. Word of honor. I'll even quit gambling. You like that, wouldn't you? You hear what I said, Dink? Yeah, Herja. Oh, are you coming to bed? In a little while. Dink, I'm awfully sorry. Honest I am. Good night, Dink. Good night, champ. Here, wake up. It's morning. Dink, wake up.  I've got something to show you. What?  Well, I took it out this morning and it sure brought it. Eight passes, one after another. Yeah. I thought you wasn't going to gamble no more. Well, I forgot it, Dink. I won plenty of money, though. It ain't wrong when you win, is it? Here, look. See this watch? I got it for you. Thanks, champ. What's the matter? Nothing is swell. Well, I guess I'll get dragged. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Come over to the window here. Now look down there. See? See what sponge has got down the street? He's got a horse. You think you could cotton to that? You mean that to that? Yes, the horse is yours. Mine? Here, here. Come back here.  You can't run around without your pants. Easy, fella. Easy boy. Take it easy. Oh, gee. He's wonderful. Where's your game, champ? I'm running from Joe. And he's mine? All mine? Sure, just like what I said. He's a race horse, any. Well, he ran in a race once. It could be one of those. Couldn't he sponge? Oh, sure. After I work on him for a little while, he'll make the grade. Gee. His name is Butterfly. Butterfly. That's a heck of a name for a horse. We gotta change it. Okay. What do we call him? I know. We call him Little Champ.  Say, that's not a bad idea. And we can start and you're ready and end the race right away. Sure. Sponge will have him set in no time. Oh, gee. Thanks, champ. Here he is over here. What'd you find out, Johnny? The Hobbes is way against us, D. Huh? Little Champ. They've got him now at 20 to 1. Yeah. Who's the favorite? Of course, by the name of Blue Boy is the favorite. There he is over there. See? They're taking pictures of him. Come on. One side, please. One side. Oh, Mr. Carlton. Mr. Carlton. Yes? I'm from the San Diego Herald. Would you and Mrs. Carlton mind posing for a picture with Blue Boy? Not at all. Well, Linda, we're going to have our pictures taken. Oh, how nice. Blue Boy is Mrs. Carlton's horse, isn't he? He is. A birthday gift from my husband. And he's the favorite today. Who? My husband? All right now. Little to the right, please. There, that's it. Thank you very much. Not at all. Horses to the post, please. Yucky's up. See, Lee, I wouldn't bet on that horse if I were you. You wouldn't? No, if you got any money, it better put out of my horse. Very yes, just going out. He does look mighty good. Good? He's going to be the winner. Then we'll be sure and bet on him. What's his name? Little Chin. And what's your name? Dink. What's yours? Linda, I think Dink's a very nice name. Well, Linda ain't a bad name, neither. Tony, dear, put $50 on little champ. Sure. I'll see you up in the box. You won't be sorry, lady. No, ma'am, you sure won't. Oh, I haven't been introduced to this gentleman. Oh, he's Juna. I pay him. Juna, she dances, Mrs. Linda. How do you do? Yes, ma'am. He's colored. So he is. A very nice color. Snap it up, folks. Snap it up. Oh, hello, Mr. Carlton. Hello. 50 to place on little champ, please.  Hello, Andy. Oh, hello, Carlton. I thought you never came out west. We're spending the winter in California. We, meaning, yes, Linda and I. Yeah, well, that's good enough. No more bets, folks. They're at the post. What took you so long? Why, you look as if you'd seen a ghost, Tony. I have, Linda. I saw Andy. Andy? Where? Look down there, by the rail. Yes, I see him. You see that boy with him? Why, it's... it's the same one who... Tony. Yes. Come on, take it easy. Take it easy, Dink. Take it easy.  Keep your hands to yourself, will you, Dink? Look at him. He's coming up. He's getting at it. If you don't quit slawing me, I'll murder you. It's all right. It's all right. Oh, he's broken his leg. Oh, champ! Take it easy. He's all right, kid. Look, he's getting up. He's okay. He's just winded. That's all. Oh, gosh. I gotta see him. I gotta see him. Think the nag's okay, Sponge? Yeah, I guess so. He looks all right from here. Tough break, huh? Tough on the kid. Well, it's not so good on us, neither. We're clean again. Ah, we've been broke before.  Andy, yeah, what do you want? I'd like to see you alone. Okay, come on. Andy, is Dink Linda's child? Is he? Yeah. What about it? She'd like to see him, Andy. Yeah, so what? Well, I think you ought to let her. Why? She watched the both of us up a long time ago. Didn't she? Didn't she? That was a mistake, Andy. You're married to Linda. I'd known it since she was a child and loved her. Yeah, you was her class. I was just a runner-up who couldn't make the grade, so she gave me the gate. I'm sorry, Andy. Yeah, that does a lot of good. Let Linda see the boy. Not a chance, not a chance. The courts gave me custody of the kid, and I'm keeping it. Besides, you got a kid of your own, ain't you? Yes, we have a little girl. But Dink is also Linda's child. No, no, no. She's got you and a new kid. I got Dink. We all stay just as we are. She'd give anything in the world to talk to him, Andy. Anything? How much? I wasn't thinking in terms of money. Okay, and okay. Now, wait. All right, Andy. Here's $100. Bring him over to the hotel tomorrow. There'll be another hundred. All right? Well, I'll tell you. I got a sleep on it.  The curtain falls on Act One of our play as the champ debates whether or not to let Linda see their son. Before Wallace Beery and Josephine Hutchinson return for the second act, we have a brief intermission, and Mr. Roick and our trio investigate an interesting subject. Are you ready, Sally and Irene and Mary? Yes, but first I'd like to ask you a question, Mr. Roick. All right. Do you ever read the Lost and Found section in the newspaper? Yes. Once in a while I do. Why? Well, the other day we were looking at the Lost Column. And here's the thought that came to us. Yes, if the Lost and Found section said, Lost a lovely complexion somewhere between the time I was 16 and today, reward Ms. Jay. That would be tragic. And you could read between the lines too. Ms. Jay probably didn't know when she lost her complexion beauty or how. She just woke up one day and realized her skin was no longer smooth and clear. But we know that a nice complexion didn't disappear in one day. No. Probably Ms. Jay had been making one mistake for a long time. The mistake of not removing dust and dirt and stale cosmetics thoroughly. You know, that's the kind of neglect that gradually causes cosmetic skin, dullness, unpleasant little blemishes and enlarged pores. That's why it's important to give your skin thorough lux toilet soap care every day. This mild white soap has active lather that carries away swiftly and surely every last particle of dust and dirt. Active lather gives you the protection of perfect cleansing. Use cosmetics all you like, but use gentle white lux toilet soap regularly. Remember how important soft appealing skin is. I promise you that you will have found a complexion care you've been looking for when you found lux toilet soap. Found lux, your spirits go leaping found lux and finding is keeping keeping to one soap when you have found lux gentle white lux soap. Our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of the champ, starring Wallace Berry in the title role with Josephine Hutchinson as Linda, Noah Berry as Tony and Bobby Larson as Dink. It's only a few miles from the champ's dingy quarters in Tijuana to the sedate beauty of the American hotel in Caliente. But it's a new world to Dink. In the living room of his mother's apartment where the champ has sent him, without a word of explanation, Dink is bewildered and ill at ease. At last the door opens and Linda comes in. Hello, Dink. Oh, hello, Linda. I'm so glad to see you again, Dink. Yeah, I was wondering. Why? Well, what a conical isn't that dough for yet to raise. Oh, that doesn't matter. Ain't that the reason you want to see me? No, it was a lot more important than that. Oh, see, this ain't a bad dump you got here, Linda. I'm glad you like it. Yeah, the champ and me ain't fixed up as well as this, but our joints, more lively, is right over the Greek saloon. I like to listen to piano playing while I'm waiting for the champ to come home nights. Does your father leave you alone often? No, he takes me most every place, especially when he shoots dice. I'm good luck to him. You like your father very much, don't you? The champ is the greatest guy in the world. See, you want to meet him sometime, Linda? I... I have met him, Dink.  No.  Oh, yeah. She kicked the bucket before I was born. Is that what he told you? Well, it hurt at some place. Dink, try to understand.  Oh, no. Yes, Dink, I am. My mother? Then why didn't you live with the champ and me? Well, your father and I disagreed. I'm married to Mr. Carlton now. Then you ain't married to the champ anymore? No.  How could you be? Oh, Dink. Oh, what you're crying about. Dink, I am your mother. Nothing that happened between your father and me can change that. Well, that's all right. You want to cry about it.  Do you, Dink? Do you really? Sure. Well, I gotta go now. Dink, I wish you'd kiss me. Oh, no. I don't kiss Dames. Please, Dink. Oh, what's a good Ned? I'd like you to. Well, okay. So long. So long, Dink. Come down until you want us sometime. I'll show you around. What's happened, darling? He doesn't even want to know me. Well, don't say that, darling. He just doesn't understand yet. How could he? Oh, Tony, if he grows up in that background, I'll blame myself all my life. We've got to get him out of it, Tony. We've got to. Dice, be good to me. Come on, Papa. One mile to go, yeah. There she is, little Phoebe. Come on, let's shoot the whole works. Hey, hey, think it easy. Champ, you're way ahead of the game. Don't bother me. Where's Dink? Hey, Dink, Dink, come on here. Wake up, wake up. Come on, kid. You know what to do. Make the dice lucky for me. Come on. Oh, champ. I run out of speed. Come on. Don't give me that. Okay. It's a blank champ. Maybe we're going to hit the hay soon. Sure, soon. Aether from the cavern. Come on. That ain't hard to make. Come on. I'm dying on my feet, champ. Come on, homeboy. Oh, we can't quit. Now, Dink, we're going good. Come on. That does it. Come on. Holy Mikey, one again. Hey, champ. Hey, what? Guy outside wants to see you. Oh, get out of here. Go on, I'm busy. He said it was important. His name's Carlton. Oh, yeah? Okay. Here, Spines, take the dice.  Oh, okay, champ. I want to speak to you. Yeah, well, spell it. Andy, Linda and I have a proposition to make you. Yeah? We want to give you, uh, we want you to give us, Dink, for six months. Why? Why? Because, because we want to help him. We want to do something for the boy. Like what, for instance? Well, sending him to school, giving him a different environment. He's got plenty of environment right here. I'm busy. Now, wait. I know that you love him, Andy, and Dink loves you, but put this sort of a life for a kid. Come on, give the boy a chance. If you love him, Andy.  Well, I got to do a lot of counting to keep them smacking you down. Look, you see this dough? I got pretty close to four grand here. I'm going to send that kid to school, and I'll get him dressed up, too. Him and me is going to travel. What do you say to that? We wanted to get nasty, Andy. We could take that boy away from you. You're not a good father, you know. You.  Go on. I'm sorry. I thought I'd give it to you straight, Andy. Give me those dice. Come on. Give me those dice. Come on. Spit on them, Dink. Oh, he's asleep, champ. He's out like a light. Hey, hey, Dink. Never mind. Let him alone. Let him alone. I'm shooting a hundred bucks. Come on, dice. Show him some ruling. Come on, dice. Hot doggy, watch him go. Come on. We're closing up. Want to sign that paper? Oh, yes. I'll sign it. Sign right here. That's Dink's horse, Spidey. I must have gone nuts gambling him away that way.  Finds it out. Yeah, I know. I'll tell you. If you can get the money within the next couple of days, I'll let you have him back. Okay, thanks. Dink. Dink, come on. Wake up, Dink. We're hitting for home. Gee, what time is it, champ? It's morning. You want me to carry you? No, I got legs. Had better look, champ. Yeah, yeah. Gone a lot of it. Well, tomorrow's another day. Little champ will make it all back to us in his next race. Dink, listen. I got to tell you something. What's the matter?  I lost him. Lost him? Yeah.  Oh, no. I'm getting back, Dink, just as soon as I get the money. But you're keeping to me. But don't take all of that way about it, Dink. I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. Come on now.  Everything's going to be all right. Come on. Give me a smile. Sure. I, I'm smiling. That's the way. I'll get him back, Dink. I don't know how, but I'll get him for you. Bucks, Linda. I wouldn't have come to you for it only. Another kid loved that horse, and I promised to get him for it.  Yes, Sandy. I haven't got it now, but I can send it to you. Gee, thanks, Linda. I can't tell you how I appreciate it, if there was anything that I can do for you. Of course there wouldn't be, would there? There might be, Andy. You could reconsider about letting us have Dink. Take him away from me? Can't you see how much we could do for him? A good home, a decent atmosphere, friends. We'll send him to a good military school. Yeah, I know all about that. Yes, and you've said no. But what right have you to say no? Why don't you let Dink decide? Perhaps he'd like to stay with us. Ask him. Okay, Linda, I'll ask him. You will? You promise? I promise. On the order of tortillas. Right, champ? Yeah. Send him down to Jose and bring us some more water, will ya? Yeah, right there, will ya, see. You want some more meat, Dink? No, more corn. All right, here, help yourself. Oh, say, I got to ask you something. What? Well, you wouldn't like to go to military school, would ya? No. No. What's it like? Well, it's like a prison.  You wouldn't care for that, would ya? No. No. And you wouldn't care to live in a great big house, would ya? You know a dump as big as a barn?  Wash three times a day? Yeah. Nothing doing. You've got the right idea, Dink. And don't. Listen, I don't suppose you'd be crazy about going to one of them, their colleges, and sitting in a room where you got to read books all day. That's out, huh? Books, not for me. That's out. Sure, I kind of thought that you'd feel that way, but I had to ask you, you know. Hey, Ken. You got him, Whitey? Yeah, I got him. Got who? Now, who do you suppose? Little champ. I'm buying him back for ya. Oh, champ. Where's he at? Down at my place. Oh, gee, I gotta see him. Oh, so long, champ. Oh, thanks, champ, but you... So long, champ. He's kind of happy, isn't he? Yeah. Got my dough, Andy? Oh, yes, oh, sure. 300 bucks, wasn't it? You know how much it was? Well, here you are. One, two... Oh, wait a minute. What's the number on this bill? Otter Eden. You starting that again? Okay, okay, okay. Lend me 10 bucks, and I'll buy you a drink, too. Throw the champ a plate, Junior. Sponge says he looks like Man of War, when he can't run as fast yet. All he need is practice. That's all. It's like the champ. He didn't know much about writing when he first started, as later on, when he's a world's champion, it's the same with a horse. Sure. Say, something going on across the street, Dane? Yeah, let's go see. Look, that is Chef Man. Well, somebody's getting pinched. Somebody landing in jail today, yes, sir. Hurry up, I want to see who. Let go of me, will you? Let go of me. Go on, take your paws off of me. Can a guy speak his mind about being dragged down this jail? Oh, gee. It's, it's champ, champ. Oh, hello, Dink. Oh, champ, what you with? I guess I did it again, Dink. Vamos, come along, you. No, let him alone. It can't take him. He's my father. Yeah? Well, that's too bad. Come on, move along, out of the way. Come on, come on. You can see him now.  Sure, sure, sure, will. Hello, champ. Hello, Sponge.  It's a matter, ain't you slept, any? No, no, I, I've been thinking. Boy, what a joint. Say, what happened anyway? I hear you're acting up down at Joe's, and by the time I get there, they got you in a can. What's the beef, champ? Oh, what's the difference? Okay, okay. Where's Dink? Is he coming? Sure, sure, he's on his way now. He, he stopped off or something. Listen, I've been thinking all over. I'm giving Dink to his mother. Huh? I'm giving him to her. I ain't no good, and he'll be better off with her. It'll be tough making him go, but he's got to. Well, gee, champ, what'll you do without him? What'll he do without you? Well, after a while, he'll forget me. Kids always do. Hey, champ, I'm here, champ. Here I am, champ. Hello.  Oh, look, I bought you something to eat, champ. I told Chilly Mary to make it special for you. Look, just what you like. I ain't hungry. Take him home, Sponge. Pack his stuff. Take him over to the hotel to his mother. What? What for? Because I say so. You're going to stay with her from now on. Oh, no, champ. I want to stay with you. Do you? Well, you, that's tough. Because you're not going to. Oh, what am I going to do with her? You're going to go to school, learn things, grow up to be somebody. Let her feed you for a while. I'm tired of feeding you.   I'll stay with the Greeks and wait until you come home tonight. No, you're going over to her. I'm saying you are, so you're going. I wish you wouldn't send me, champ. I'll go to school here. I'll be somebody when I go up. Somebody like you. No, no. You're going to your mother's. Do you hear me? I don't want any sniveling out of here. No back talk. No, champ. I ain't going. I ain't. You're going. I ain't. I'm staying with you. Like, did you hear it? Get out. That learned you to argue. Go on, beat it. Okay. Okay, champ. I hit him. I hit him. Hey, champ. Champ, what's the matter with you? Slamming your hand against the wall like that. You want to break it? I hit him. I hit him. Champ, stop it, will you? I hit that kid of mine. That was act two of the champ, starring Wallace Beery and Josephine Hutchinson. In act three, Dink takes a hand at running his own life. But during this brief intermission, here's a gentleman who explains how to acquire something valuable. That's right, Mr. DeMille. Something valuable and a bargain at the same time.

Don't fail to send in right away. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. We continue with the champ on a train speeding north toward Los Angeles. A forlorn little figure sits huddled by the window, his chin buried in the collar of his new suit. Dink is trying very hard not to cry. Sitting beside him is Linda, patient and understanding.  We'll have some fine times together, just you wait and see. Are you sure you won't have some dinner, dear? It's fun having dinner on the train. No, thanks. I ain't hungry. But, Dink, you... All right, darling. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've got some good news for you. Tony pulled some strings in Tier 1 before we left, and your father's home again. You mean you... you got him out of jail? That's right. Well, thanks a lot. Was he all right? Yes, he was fine. Did he... did he ask about me? Of course. And Tony told him you were getting along so nicely. Oh. That's what you'd want to tell him, wouldn't you? Oh, sure, sure. I wouldn't want him to think that I... Well, you know. Of course. You... you have a little cold, haven't you? Oh, yeah. I've been running something awful. Oh, Dink, I'm so glad you're here. You got a snap out of it, see? I thought everything would be okay when he sprung you out of jail, and now you're worse than ever.  Oh, quit worrying. I'm okay. Okay for what? Listen, champ, if it's a kid you're worrying about, we'll... Nix, you keep out of this. That kid's in a good spot, and he's going to stay there. Don't worry, Sponge, I'll... I'm all right. I'm just nervous. Soon as I get some sleep, just a couple of hours. Hey, champ. Wilfer. What was that? I don't know. I could have swore that there was a... Hello, champ. Dink. I thought I was going to see how you were. Dink. Oh, dink. Oh, cheap, cheap. Outside, Sponge. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Gee, dink. I'm awful glad to see you too. Me too. I... I got a little cold. So bye. Gee whiz, but you look swell. That suit ain't got much life to it, but it ain't bad.  Yeah, it'll wear off, though. What happened to your hand? Well, that nothing. I just scraped it. Wait a minute. How'd you get back here? I... I ran away, champ. I just didn't like it up there. I mean, it was okay, but... Well, you was right about the washing business. Three times a day, all over. Oh, gee, I... I'm sorry, dink. It was all right, but I'm gonna stay here now, champ. I gotta... Okay, dink. You know what? I ain't had a drink since I got out of jail. And I've been off the dice too. Gee, that's great. And start tomorrow I'm going in training. Yeah? Yeah, I'm going to see them promoters in the morning. I'll make them get me a fight. Looky here. Let me... I'll show them. Look at that footwork, dink.  You betcha. Here. Feel that muscle. Boy, it's like iron. Steel. Is there any reason why I couldn't make her come back? No. I'll do it. I'll send you to school and I'll get you a lot of nice clothes. And as for manicure and say, I'll have a girl fallin' this round just to take care of your fingernails. Oh, couldn't we get our man to do that? Sure. What's up, dink? I'm gonna do some sparring. Oh, boy, give it to him, champ. The old one-two. One-two. Ah, one-two. Add up, boy, champ. That's what'll happen to the next guy that I go up against. Hey, champ. You busted the washbowl. Oh, that's all right. Forget it. After my next fight, we're gonna wash in a sink. None of that three times a day stuff, either. Oh, boy, am I glad I come back. Come on. Come on. Give it something. Any snap in it, will ya? You was a three-legged elephant. You couldn't be no slower than that. Lay off of me, will ya? He'll be okay, Sponge. Yeah. He'd be great at the Girl Scouts' taffy pool. Well, this is a fight he's going into. Oh, five gong, will ya?  I ain't worth the trouble. You mean you ain't got the strength? Yeah. All right, all right, that's enough. Going up to the room, take a sponge bed. I'll be okay. Just wait until I get going.  Yeah, well, get going now. Up to the room. We got more to do this afternoon. Okay, I'll see you later. Yeah. Well, Sponge, how's he look? Oh, hello, Whitey. You were watching, weren't you? Yeah. And you ought to know, don't bet no dough on him. I figured that. He's all shot, Whitey. He just ain't in him anymore. Wins all gone, huh? Nothing left to play a harmonica with. You know, that Mexican's gonna make goulash out of him. That ain't so. Huh? Say, where did you come from? Look what you beat a dink. I'll tell the champ what you said. Oh, next, next. You don't want to do that, kid. Well, don't say things like that about him. He's gonna come back. He's gonna let the stuffins out of that peluca. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Sure he is, Dink, sure. Going my way, Whitey. Yeah. I want to ask you a couple of more things. I've been talking to some of the boys around here. Dink, hey, Dink, wait up. I ain't got time, ma'a, Jordan. I gotta see the champ. Listen, Dink, this is important. What? I just hear something. It's all against us, Dink. Those gambler fellas are laying six to one. The champ don't last three rounds. Six to one? Oh, they're crazy. That's what they're betting.  He, he's in great shape. Maybe so, but they don't lose those gambler fellas. And they all say he's gonna get laid back.  Go and beat it. Okay, Dink. Just thought I'd tell you. Six to one? You ain't got a chance. The champ ain't got a chance. Little champ. Hello, hello, Dink. Come on in. Boy, some work out, huh? Yeah, tired champ. No, well, a little. I had a lot of catching up to do, but I'm doing it okay. Champ, I want to talk to you about that. About what? About this here fight racket. I don't like it. How come? I thought you was all for it. Well, I've been thinking it over.  Yeah? Yeah.  I thought you didn't like me drinking. I was wrong. Not that you quit gambling. I don't get a chance of spitting your dice anymore. Huh? I got practically nothing to spit on these days. Yeah. I know, but look how I used to lose all my dough. We're much better off since I quit. I don't know. We used to have a lot of fun. Now you're crying the most of the time, and we don't see much of each other as we used to. Oh, it's all on account of this fight. Oh, what are you talking about? You was the world's champion once. Everybody knows that.  And putting this Mexican ain't going to get you much. If I win, and I'm going to win, it'll get me 10 grand. Oh, who cares about that? I do.  We're going to travel. I don't have to go to school. You didn't go, did you? No, that's why you're going. Say, you're not trying to get me to throw that fight, are you? No, champ. Okay. Then I'm going to fight, see?   Sure, sure, champ. Class preliminary, we're on next champ. Yeah, if the doc here ever gets through with me, what do you say, doc? I'm okay, eh? Now just a minute, Andy. I want to listen to that heart again if you don't mind. Oh, cut it out. There's nothing wrong with me. I never felt better in all my life. Well, what do you say, doc? Okay? I guess so. There you are. I told you so. You're in pretty fair shape, Andy, but don't go at it too hard. You've got to be a little careful. The old heart isn't any too strong. Oh, what do you mean? Well, it's pumping pretty hard. Oh, it always does that just before a fight. When I won the championship, it was doing nip-ups. May I come in? Hello, Carlton. Hello, Andy. Where'd you come from? We came down to see the fight. Linda's outside. She'd like to speak to you, Andy. Yeah. Okay. Outside, everybody. Go on, doc, so long. So long, Andy, but remember, take it as easy as you can. Don't put too much strain on the old pump. Oh, stop worrying.  Go on. Good luck, Andy. Good morning, Linda. Hello, Andy. Hello. What's it all about? You want to take Dink away again, huh? No. We know we can't do the impossible. We're not going to try it anymore. Well, that's good sense. You're going to see a fight tonight. I'm taking care of the kid from now on. Andy, I'm bidding $5,000 on the other fellow. What? That's great. A real pal, huh? You don't understand. We're betting that money for you, Andy. I don't get this. What do you mean for me? Look, Andy, when we came down here, we heard that... Well, the odds are pretty much against you. They say you can't stand another fight. No, they're crazy. Maybe they are. Anyway, we don't want you to run any risks. If you find the fight isn't going right, don't worry. You'll have the money for Dink anyway. Yeah, now listen, Linda, I got my chance tonight, the chance of a lifetime to make good with that kid, and I'm going to do it. Dink's going to be out there watching me, see? And when it's always going to be proud of him, everything's going to be all right. I hope so, Andy. Good luck. Same here, Andy. Here we go. The cholo kid. Andy, one and a half. The former heavyweight champion of the world, Andy Purcell. Make him come to you when he doesn't have that left. Sure, sure. Now listen to me. You can't last the top speed, see? Stay away until you hear him wait for an opening. When you get it, keep right after him. Okay, Spines, leave it to me. Hello, Dink. You're going to see some fighting tonight, kid. Sure. How do you feel, champ? Oh, I feel great. If love's okay? Sure. Go ahead and spit on him for luck. Sure. Good. I can't lose now, Dink.  Good luck, champ. Finish him. Yeah, he'll finish himself if he ain't careful. We still got 15 rounds to go. Stay away. Don't do what I say.  I'm okay, Spines. Let me alone. You win, holding out? He's been... he's been hitting me here in the heart. It's okay. But cover up. Would you left higher? Moving closer on the clenches. He can't touch your heart, Dan. I get... I... I... Looking worse every round. Oh, Tony, look at his face. He's being cut to pieces. I can't stand it. I'm going outside. Wait, darling. I'll go with you. Come on, Monterey. He didn't get him in this round. Kill him, Monterey. Hi, the champ's through. He's staggering all over the ring. Come on. Get him, Monterey. Kill him. All right, champ. Come on, champ. The bell saved you. Boy, snap out of it. Snap out of it, champ. You hear? Okay. Okay. You all right? Yeah, sure. Can you go back there, champ? Are you sure? I'll toss you in the towel now if you give me the word. Oh, I gotta finish. I gotta let me fight Sponge. Okay. Okay, champ. How do you want me? You want to see the punch that... Hey, champ, what's the matter? Nothing. I... I've got to... Take it easy, Dink. Sure. Go ahead. What do you think? Chance? Not one in a million. There's nothing I can do. Nothing. Hey, champ, what happened? Are you okay? Sure. Come here, Dink. I want to speak to you. What about, champ? Look, Dink, your mother's here. You know that? She came down to get you. This time, I... I think that you ought to stay with her, Dink. Why, champ? Why can't I stay with you? Because, well, they know you's kid lizarding. I ain't staying around much longer. Understand? Oh, gee, champ? Oh, come on. Come on. That ain't no way to act. Listen, she's your mother, see? You ought to call it that. No more of this Linda stuff. For me, Dink. Huh? Okay, champ. Add up, boy. And remember, keep your chin up. Keep your chin. Everything's going to come out all right. Give me a smile. Champ! Oh, my darling. My poor darling.  The champ's great spirit lives on in his son. Wallace Berry, Josephine Hutchinson, Norbury, and Bobby Larson are returning to our stage. I think Bobby's about the youngest actor who's ever taken a curtain call at our microphone. Well, he may be young, CB, but he sure pulls his own weight in the boat. I think he's the coming champ, Wallace. Yeah. Say, Mr. DeMille, could I ask Mr. Wally a question? The floor's all yours, Bobby. You used to be with the circus, didn't you, Mr. Wally? Sure. I was nurse-made to the elephants. That's what I want to ask you about. Is it true that elephants never forget? I should say it is. Every time a circus comes to town, a couple of elephants look Wally up.  You know, we used to have one elephant. We called her Big Mom. She always got scared in the thunderstorm. Every time it thundered, she couldn't sleep unless she wrapped her trunk around my arm, Bobby. Temperamental elephant must have been an armful. Mr. DeMille, can you imagine a fellow putting a swell job like elephant training just to work in the movies? Confidentially, Bobby, I can't. You know, I think that Wally gets a little homesick for the circus sometimes. Well, no, when I hear that train whistle about four o'clock in the morning and I think about getting the tent down and the animals loaded and how cold it was sometimes, then I just turn over in bed and go back to sleep. I'm not homesick anymore. That must be a very comfortable feeling. Before we go, Mr. DeMille, I want to say something about the product behind this program. I use luck soap regularly myself and have for several years because it's such a help to a good complexion. So gentle and yet so effective. Active lather, I think Mr. Rowe, it calls it. Anyway, it's a grand soap and I wouldn't be without it. And now, Mr. DeMille, we're all anxious to know what you're planning for next Monday night. Next Monday night, we have a very special treat for Lux Radio Theatre listeners. We're going to present a drama that was one of the great successes of the year on the screen. Goodbye, Mr. Chips. And our stars will be Laurence Olivier and Edna Best.  He tells of the love that brought light and color to Chips, of the ambition of his life and how it was achieved. As our special guest, we'll have James Hilton, the author. Goodbye, Mr. Chips, as one of the great stories of our time. And we're particularly proud to produce it here next Monday night. It was a fine picture, Mr. DeMille, and it'll be a fine radio play, too. Good night, everybody. Bobby, I'll take you down to see the elephants some day, Monty. Oh, gee, thanks. Good night. So long, CB. Good night. And like those elephants, we'll never forget the champ. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theatre presents Laurence Olivier and Edna Best in Goodbye, Mr. Chips. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. This is Melville Roy, inviting you to enjoy the popular Lux Daytime program, The Life and Love of Dr. Susan.

Hey everyone, I am back and we have a very special video for today Nintendo just dropped all of their quarter three other financial update for quarter three For Nintendo switch we have a bunch of sales data to go through including updates to their top 10 selling games We have updates to their hardware their software all that jazz Metroid I'm really really excited before we get into this I just want to remind you that we are giving away a Nintendo switch OLED a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X to one lucky winner All you have to do is go to that gleam that I'll link down in the description or the pin comment to enter All right, let's just get right into this. We're gonna start with the update to the top 10 software Mario Kart 8 deluxe as of December 31st of 2021 has sold 43 million and 30 350,000 units like holy crud. That's amazing. And I'm gonna see new horizons is still at number two at 37 million 620,000 units next up. We have a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 27 million 400,000 units. We have breath of the wild here at 25 million and 800,000 units We have Pokemon Sword and Shield at 23 million at 900,000 units We have Super Mario Odyssey here at 23 million and 20,000 units We have a Super Mario Party at 17 million 390,000 Pokemon. Let's go Pikachu. Let's go Eevee at 14 million 330,000 a new member to the group Pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl likely gonna pass Let's go very quickly here at 13 million 970,000 Ring Fit Adventure rounds out that top 10 at 13 million 530,000 units now let's go look at dedicated hardware We now know that Nintendo switch through last year on December 31st It sold 103.54 million so 103 million 540,000 units We actually talked about this a number of weeks ago saying that it was very obvious that the Nintendo switch had already Sold over a hundred million units and that was before we even got to the end of the fiscal year Now we have the official update that is huge But what's cool is here we can see how it compares everything else obviously It surpassed the Nintendo 3DS quite some time ago and the Wii U, but it has officially surpassed the Nintendo Wii So there's no more speculation on this it did outsell the Nintendo Wii now next up in his sights is going to be some very interesting Prospects we have the Game Boy up next at 118 million And then after that it's basically the Nintendo DS There is nothing else in the way the Nintendo switch is currently Nintendo's third best-selling platform of all time I'm sure by the end of this fiscal year. It'll at least outsell the Game Boy So it should be well on pace to be the second best-selling system of all time the questions Obviously, can it touch this hardware number here of a hundred and fifty four million units by the Nintendo DS We'll have to wait and see software number wise, you know, that's got a ways to go It's still at seven hundred and sixty six point four one million units Yeah, that's you know, it's got a way to go to catch up to we in DS Obviously the best or most amount of software they've ever sold in any given generation So that is those details, but they also dropped these three documents Here this one's like an explanation showing off all of their financials And you can see obviously the net sales compared year on year It is down a six percent a decrease nine percent in operating profit in one point three points in operating profit ratio So year on year Nintendo is down They do seem to later explain this away as hey We have a lot more supply constraints this fiscal year than we did last fiscal year So that's despite switch all that coming out. They have been able this is a breakdown of the major regions for their sales The Americas which includes North America and South America make up a vast majority Obviously of their sales at forty two point eight percent Europe times in at twenty six point five percent Japan at twenty one percent and then the rest of the world at nine point seven That would include China in all other countries. I mean here. You can see their gross profits and all that That's a lot of money But still down four and a half percent year on year not you know They're kind of down across the board except for the gross profit ratio their profits The profit ratio is actually a little bit higher year on year. This would suggest a decrease in investments So yeah, you know, that's kind of cool What you guys are obviously very curious about are the sales of their software now We already talked about Pokemon really diamond and shining pearl Mario Kart eight deluxe during this quarter We're least during this fiscal year is moved seven point nine six million We do have a sales here for Mario Party superstars chiming in at five point four three million units That is awesome five point four three million now It is notable that hardware sales are not on pace with last year. It is about six More like five million short of the hardware pace from the prior fiscal year However, Nintendo didn't really sell a lot of units in the final quarter If you look at this twenty four point one zero number and you go to get their full financial report They only moved about twenty five million units now with Pokemon legends Arcee is coming out Maybe some of this can be made up. I don't think we're gonna match twenty five million this fiscal year I do think they could get to twenty three or twenty three But again a lot of this is gonna be about supply constraints the base Nintendo switch model so far this fiscal year So eleven point seven nine million units We now know Nintendo switch OLED models have sold four million which is ahead of the switch light, which is obviously Been out the entire fiscal year. So obviously switch all that is in high demand and I think we'll see this year This upcoming fiscal year that switch all that's gonna become the top-selling switch model. All right now There's a certain big title you guys are probably wondering about what the hell up happened with Metroid Dread We all want to know how Metroid Dread sold did it top three million. Well, how's it going? Well, here? We is two point three million Units so this is just for the period of October through December 21 Pokemon brilliant nine with eleven point seven million Mario Party Superstars at four point eight This is April to December. Sorry. Then we got Skyward Sword HD in there with three point two And then we have Metroid Dread at two point three. So two point three million is that Magical number that we were hoping that Metroid would top two mil it did do that now the question is can it top three and Doing so would make it the best-selling Metroid of all time It is on pace well on pace to be the best selling Metroid of all time But we'll see if it can get just enough sales to get there seven hundred thousand more needed Still incredible to me to see some of the other sales going on in here Mario Karate Deluxe obviously still crushing it Animal Crush is still crushing it You know you look at other evergreen titles for Nintendo Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Zelda Even Mario Golf Super Super Rush just just crushing it crushing it crushing it now again Down year on year, but you know They've had a lot of supply issues And then they go over their digital sales and you can see the digital sales were basically flat a little bit down But again, they're also down in system sales. So they talk about announced products coming up between January March Obviously, we have Pokemon Legends arcades that just came out Kirby in the forgotten land now These are just going to be first-party titles. So if you're looking for like project triangle strategy That's not going to be on this list. Although we know that also comes out in March They also have their million sellers updated here and what's interesting. I think they said there's 29 million sellers 22 of them published by Nintendo so we can go over some that didn't make that top 10 list So you like the Super Mario 3d world plus Bowser's Fury looks like it's moved about I don't know What is that 8 million? Pretty sure it's 8 million 850,000 units there. Let's see here. We have Super Mario Party 17 mil new Pokemon snap at guessing that's 2 million and 360,000 Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe at 12 million And so on and so forth me Topia is actually a million seller at 1.63 million that we just mentioned 3 at 11.04 brain Big brain Academy brainverse brain looks like I crossed a million at 1.28. That's really good That game came out in December. So that's really good for that series Or you were good together as a million seller as well at 1.24 million Obviously, we already know about these games and then game builder garage is officially a million seller at 1.01 million So good for Nintendo pretty much everything they release at this point is going to sell at least a million units That's crazy to think that no matter what Nintendo puts out a million is going to happen And then you have all these other sales now we get to the launch dates here And this is quite interesting because these launch dates are just going to deal with April 20 21 through December 2021 What we really want to look at is what's coming down the line so We obviously know about Pokemon legends Arceus already out curbing the forgotten land. Okay, this is this is You know in Japan So tune 3 still scheduled for this year the sequel the legend Zola breath of the wild still scheduled for this year Mario plus rabbit sparks a hope still scheduled for this year Bayonetta 3 still scheduled for this year and Metroid Prime 4 is TVA now you look over here here in there's a couple additional titles Advanced Wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp is added here for the United States And so is triangle strategy because Nintendo is publishing this title in the United States So when you look at this list nothing has changed Officially as of this financial report today February 3rd Nintendo has not gotten any delays Officially for any of the titles announced for this year so advanced for one plus two reboot camp Which technically does never really stay yet even though it got leaked through the e-shop still scheduled to come the tune 3 Still coming Legend of Zelda breath of the wild sequel still coming Bayonetta 3 still coming Metroid Prime 4 Obviously doesn't have any Dayton is just TVA so again. This is good news. This is the best news you could hope no official delays yet for any of the major titles announced for this year that is awesome And then it gets it to Third-party publishers and stuff that they have coming up as well So yeah, that's basically the in and out of this You know, I will go glance at my Twitter fee quick because sometimes there's additional information that drops But I don't think there's gonna be much here. You know, we got Paul Gale here Talking about how he was right on it selling over a hundred million units. I never doubted him for a second He's pretty much right on everything. Jeff Grubb is showing his excitement as well So yeah, and this is kind of a cool headline from Nintendo everything It's obviously the best-selling home console of all time. I think you know, we've already known this at this point It's just got Two handhelds in front of it. So Nintendo's crushing it And I think that's the big lesson to take away from this is Nintendo is Killing it. I don't really know how else to put it. This was obviously a down year year over year But supply constraints Nintendo is doing well. They're doing very healthy They have a massive year ahead Pokemon Legends Arceus was a great way to kick off the year Nintendo is pushing the beginning of this year hard and Folks at this point all that's really left is an investor Q&A We shouldn't have that Q&A for another day or two usually takes a day or two to get that Q&A and then well Nintendo Direct folks, you know, it's coming. I know it's coming. We all know it's coming So investor Q&A next where Nintendo could drop a few sparse details and then Nintendo Direct Time. Alright folks, I am Nathaniel Ruffeljantz from Nintendo Prime I want to make you so much for tuning in to this special late-night video and I'll catch you in the next one

What I'm going to talk about today is what is a mentally healthy workplace? Many of you already have an understanding of that, but I'll just give a clear, I suppose, overall umbrella definition as to what that would look like. And more importantly, why are we talking about this? Why are we all coming together to share information and stories and build our expertise in this? Why? What is the drivers behind this that we need to consider and think about? I'll talk about how we can engage business. I'll look at what are the practical actions that you can take in your workplaces and then talk about what next after this. So a mentally healthy workplace promotes and protects the mental health of individuals and can have a positive impact on productivity, creativity, retention and being perceived as an employer of choice. One of the key things when we look at a mentally healthy workplace is leadership. So the people who have influence in a workplace need to have a really good grasp and a really strong commitment to having a mentally healthy workplace. It doesn't just happen by chance. It isn't a, oh, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We want this to be the norm in all workplaces across Australia. So when we look at leadership, a mentally health workplace needs to be considered when you're looking at performance, when you're looking at innovation, the actual workforce, strategic direction, the well-being that is embedded in these things, the growth, and this is around change. When we're going through changing workforces, this is often when stress levels are coming up. So how do we keep it healthy? How do we anticipate the impact and the risks of change that are taking place? The organisational values, do they reflect a mentally healthy workplace? Are they in line with us supporting people and having conversations, of having open-door policies? Is that how the workplace functions? And the workplace culture, does it reflect a mentally healthy workplace? So as I said, it should be embedded in all of these things, underpinned by really good leadership on an ongoing basis. Over the years, I've been working with Beyond Blue and have had the privilege of doing lots of workplace programs and doing workshops with managers. And the theme that seems to come through, overdoing for this for six years, is it's kind of chance for most workplaces and for people in workplaces, whether they get a good manager, whether they have a great CEO, it's not a given, it just seems to be a random chance. And this is where our focus is wanting to change that and wanting to shift that, that it should be a given. Your manager, the leaders in organisations, should have an understanding of what a mentally healthy workplace looks like and then take that next step to implement it on an ongoing basis. Why is it important? Sorry. You all have your own ideas as to why this is really important and I think our biggest driver is the stats when we look at mental health in the workplace. I think when you look at these stats, they're quite sobering. They're taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2007. The way they collected these stats was they knocked on the homes of over 8,700 residents and conducted a mental health assessment. And this is where these numbers come from. It's the most robust study available at this point in time in Australia. And what it told us is that 1 million Australians every year are unwell with depression, one in three women are unwell with anxiety and one in five men are unwell with anxiety. I'm going to flip back to the men and women with depression. There is a discrepancy with this number. There's many reasons as to why this is the case, why it presents even here, but probably one of the biggest issues here is that men are getting unwell. We know they're getting incredibly unwell. They're not going to the doctors. They're not seeking professional support. They're not seeking support from their communities. We know they're getting really unwell because of that big six down the bottom there, which I think really brings home the tragedy when we look at mental health conditions. Six people die by suicide every single day in Australia. Five of them are men. So that is really sobering I think and really reminds us how tragic the outcomes of these things can be. And if we link this back to the workplace, reminding ourselves what the workplace does is it provides another forum for people to get help. It's as simple as that. And that's why we want to educate people in workplaces because we don't want these stats down the track. We want to shift these stats. I've got more stats for you here. Linking it still to the workforce. A lot of them are between that age group of 35 to 44. They are the highest risk of suicide in Australia at this point in time. So we have access to them in the workforce. As I said, they're not always going to doctors. They are often using alcohol and drugs as a way of trying to manage and cope and mask the symptoms. What we know about those strategies is they are terrible. They are terrible. They don't work, okay? They actually exacerbate the symptoms. Here's those stats again on suicide. Again, taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. So this is one of the real drivers for the Australian businesses and our community at large to really say we need to address mental health anyway and every way we can. The other area, which I'm going to talk a little bit about now as to why workplaces should create mentally healthy workplaces is the cost. And all of you would be under pressure, constantly around costs in workplaces. But what we have here is the cost, specifically to mental health in the workplace. These costs were published only to the public a couple of weeks ago. They come from a PWC report that was commissioned by Beyond Blue. If you're interested in costs and more of these stats, I'd encourage you, this is where you can scribble down on your piece of paper, to actually get a copy of the PWC report. You can access it through the Beyond Blue website. You go Beyond Blue website, heads up and it gives you an option to go into the full report. The reason I would encourage you to look at it is because I was really surprised and I've worked in this area for a long time at the cost of absenteeism here at $4.7 billion and presenteeism, they're so high and we're not always equating them with mental health conditions. We look at that little slice, that tiny little green bit in the middle which is $0.146 billion. We all know about at workers' comp and we put a lot of vigor into that. We also put a lot of energy into guiding and telling, well, if we've got high claims, we must have problems. If we've got no claims for stress or mental health, we've got no problems. Well, no, you have. This is the problem right across Australia. This tells us there is a huge cost burden associated with mental health in the workplace. People not coming into work because they are too unwell to come in, because they can't get out of bed, because they're too overwhelmed, because they're feeling sick in the stomach about having a meeting tomorrow and they're feeling too anxious about it, not coming in for those reasons and just not having the energy to come in or coming in, as is the case with presenteeism, and just not having the energy or the mental concentration or focus because they are unwell to do the task that is their core job. So, as I said, if you're interested in those numbers, I'd really encourage you to look at the PWC report. The good news that this report also found was that the more people invested, organised invested in their mental health in the workplace, they got a return on investment. That return on investment ranged from $2.3 for every $1 spent. For smaller businesses, in some cases, that return was up to $15. So here's your argument to take back to workplaces when you're wanting to say we want to do physical fitness programs, we want to use coaching, we want to do some mental health training. There's six particular things outlined in that report I'd encourage you to look at and what things fit best with your organisation, you are going to get a return on investment. You also are going to get people who are more engaged in their workplace, who feel supported, who are more likely to access support when they need it, which is early. And this leads me to our current heads-up initiative, which is really, really exciting for someone like me who's always trying to go, well, you can do this and you can do that, da-da, heads-up initiative. Many of you may already be familiar with the heads-up initiative. It was only put online a couple of weeks ago and the action tools will be online on the June 16th. Again, if you haven't, that's one of the things I want you to write down, headsup.org.au. Highlight that. That's all you have to do from today's talk. Highlight that. You'll be sorted. It is a co-branded social change program powered by the mentally healthy workplace alliance of which you guys, the AIG group, is part of and beyond blue. So in partnership with this collaborative impact, they've looked at what is the key to success with all the alliance members working together to deliver an initiative that is going to reflect what businesses need, what businesses are asking for, where their holes are. So it's actually asked businesses and it's had over 2,500 representatives participating in research informing its design. So it's not something that beyond blue has sat down in our lovely office and gone, I reckon this would be good, yeah. I like the sound of that. They've gone out. They've developed these relationships with businesses and groups like yourselves and said, right, let's start putting this into place. And I think that is really exciting because this is actually the first time that mental health has had such a collaborative focus around businesses. One of the things that came in the development of heads up was this insight which may have already been mentioned this morning, that there is this problem, that 54% of business leaders think that they're not well informed about current good practice in workplace mental health. And that stat doesn't surprise me. If someone is in manufacturing or if they're an engineer or if they're an accountant, they haven't picked up these skills. They are experts in what they do and it's now a responsibility we're seeing at a greater level to start training people up, not just assuming, why would they know that? That's really hard. If you're managing a call centre, how would you also know how to manage mental health? So this is about helping people to get these tools. I'm going to pull it back now before I finish up to the heads up because this draws together that reducing risks, awareness and providing support, hopefully all under the one umbrella when we look at the heads up campaign. So this is going to be one of the most useful tools, I hope for all of you in the coming months and hopefully years, because of the things it's going to offer around practical tools, it's going to provide practical information to create more mentally healthy workplaces. It's going to include information, interactive tools and resources for individuals in the workplace. It's going to have a lot of content, a lot of information. Some of it already exists out there and is already embedded in the Omblu website and other websites, but this provides a central portal for people in the workplace. So things about taking care of yourself, rights and obligations, which can often be really useful in businesses, I think. Things around confidentiality. There's information about the alliance, the return to work research that I mentioned earlier is also will be in here. And one of the other things will be the action plan tool. And the action plan has been designed for all of you within your organizations basically to sit online or printed off and start inputting what are your risks, what are your priorities and start to do it yourself rather than having to get external bodies or do it randomly in response to situations that come up. And then you can implement the actions, review it, go back again. You might decide to do this with a small team of people so you're getting this range of input. So what next? I've got ahead of myself and excited. I've said this 15 times, I think, register. Of course the other resource is the beyond blue website particularly the workplace resources here. And of course our support service is please have this phone number dotted around your workplace. Basically in summary we all have a role to play in creating a more mentally healthy workplace. How do we convince senior management about promoting mental health in the workplace because of that fear that if we start that conversation senior management will say, oh now we're going to have more claims. So it's fear driven. There's a few things that I'd recommend you do. Use the mentally health workplace alliance information as a starting point. Using things like this can be quite powerful for workplaces because all these organisations listed below there have said very publicly and made a very big commitment to saying we're on board with this. We are leaders basically. Evidence based practice is informing our decision here. So using other organisations as your leverage, that's one way of doing it. The other way that PWC report those figures I think are really compelling for senior management around things. So using that report as well. The part on return to investment within that report can be really useful and getting people on board because they're worried it's going to cost them something. The absolute reality is if they don't invest it will cost them something. It will cost them a lot more. There is really no evidence to suggest when you start talking about mental health that all of a sudden you have an increase in claims. Claims that wouldn't otherwise eventually. We really want to help people who are having a tough time at work. So it's almost reminding them and having really honest conversations with them if someone is not unwell they are not going to be unwell. A really nice stat which I think can be useful for business leaders is that three million people as I told you are unwell every year. Less than 50% of them are actually going to the doctors or getting any help at all. So there is a huge, huge stigma unfortunately, around mental health. So the likelihood of what people do in workplaces is they cover it up. They don't. Do you know what I mean? It's not the choice. Oh, I don't want to work. If people are saying they are unwell they are unwell. You need to listen. So there are a few things. A few angles to go with. And if not, get them to have their own senior briefing. Get someone external and come and talk to them in addition to all of those things.
