The Family Show

[00:00:03] Speaker A: Hello. Hello. This is the Family show on IPL Radio. [00:00:07] Speaker B: My name is Toby and I am Amy. And we are live here from Rockingham. We have a pretty interesting topic for. For you today. Do you remember what we're talking about? [00:00:20] Speaker A: I cannot, no. [00:00:22] Speaker B: So we're talking about trees or houses. So we've been driving around a lot lately and seeing that there's a lot of new developments. And so we are looking at the wants and needs in the community at the moment and whether we, you know, nature or housing. So that is the topic that we're going to be diving into today. Toby, what song have you selected for us to listen to? First up, it's one that you're very excited about. Hey. [00:00:57] Speaker A: A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay. Yeah, I'm actually learning how to play this on the piano. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Piano, piano. You are. And you're learning it pretty quickly. [00:01:09] Speaker A: I've only learned it this week. Yeah, like. Well, last week or this week. [00:01:14] Speaker B: Well, it was only a few days ago. Oh, no, now it's a week ago. Yeah, it's a week ago today that you learned it. [00:01:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:22] Speaker B: And you've pretty much nailed the section of the song that you've learned. And then we're still kind of looking at the chords and you being able to read the. Well, the sheet music for it. Hey, yeah, yeah. So this is A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay. [00:01:42] Speaker C: The best music from the 60s to today. IPL radio. [00:01:48] Speaker B: That was Hazel Sister by Train. We had some dancing in the other room next door to the studio, some grooving. So we are talking about houses and [00:02:05] Speaker A: houses or trees. [00:02:07] Speaker B: Houses or trees today. So if you've just joined us, we are doing a segment where we're talking about. Because we've been driving around, right. And we've been seeing a lot of trees being cleared. And there's been mixed feelings within our car and a lot of discussions lately about trees or houses. How do you feel about it, Toby? [00:02:38] Speaker A: I feel a bit 50. 50. Like nature is important to us and also our homes are important to us. So that there's really. Yeah, yeah. [00:02:58] Speaker B: Both. Both are important, right? [00:02:59] Speaker A: Both are really important. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Yeah. So land can be. So there's a lot of different things that can. Land can be used for. So why do you think that nature is important? [00:03:11] Speaker A: Because, like, it can, like, animals can, like, recycle our waste. Our, like all our stuff, like food scraps and stuff like that can all just be crunched up and used as soil. [00:03:37] Speaker B: Yeah. So we can return it back to the earth once. Once it's been composted. Yeah, yeah. [00:03:42] Speaker A: And then it can help for. It can help with our food supply. It and how so because of like say the soil that worms, ants all produce. That's actually really, really good for. [00:04:11] Speaker B: Pardon you. [00:04:12] Speaker A: That's really good. Really, really good for any plants, including our like fruit and veg. [00:04:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. What about land that hasn't had all that waste? Like, it's just been like natural, naturally there. Because that's the type of land that we're seeing being cleared at the moment. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Like a birds and stuff like that. [00:04:35] Speaker B: Yeah. So like it's just trees and it's just naturally was there. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Well, it's like taking others people's homes. [00:04:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Like we're trying to take other people's homes. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Who, who's, who's. Who are these people that we're taking? Their homes? [00:04:56] Speaker A: The animals. [00:04:57] Speaker B: The animals, yeah. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Right. Yeah, yeah. [00:05:00] Speaker B: So there, there is that side of it that we're. We're taking away the animals homes and then, you know, we're displacing them. Where are they going to live? Where are they going to get their food from? [00:05:12] Speaker A: And then we're just replacing it with our supply. [00:05:17] Speaker B: Our needs. [00:05:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Do you think, do you think homes are a need or a want? [00:05:22] Speaker A: A need. [00:05:23] Speaker B: A need, Yeah. I think we like in previous generations eras, we've definitely lived without homes, but we've come become accustomed to it. And why do you think we need. Like there are so much. There's so much land being cleared at the moment. So much. Why do you think we need land that much land cleared? [00:05:46] Speaker A: So where there's more houses for people to rent or buy. [00:05:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And definitely with the housing crisis at the moment, there's. We talk about this quite regularly. There's a supply and demand issue. So the demand for houses is very high where the supply is low and it's. [00:06:10] Speaker A: That just gave me an idea of like writing like drawing a chart. Yeah. Of like the demand, like. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:26] Speaker A: Demand of houses and the demand of [00:06:31] Speaker B: like the supply of houses. Yeah. [00:06:34] Speaker A: And then supply, supply of houses and like supplement like the, like the nature's homes. The. Yeah, yeah. [00:06:50] Speaker B: Are you talking about like the one like drawing a chart, creating a chart of wants versus needs and how do we balance that? Like, how do we decide what land. Is that what you mean? Yeah, yeah. What a cool idea. I like that. Let's do it when we get home. We always have. If we talk talk on air, we always have little projects that we think about doing at home. I love that. Yeah. Because it is that that balancing act of how do we, you know, we're not. We don't want to clear too much of that land because we want to support the nature and we need that for biodiversity and the whole running. [00:07:32] Speaker A: Biodiversity. I mean. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll get back to you on that. I just know it's important and you know what ecosystems are. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:07:42] Speaker B: Y. [00:07:43] Speaker A: So gotta play the game that we've got called East Coast. [00:07:47] Speaker B: Yeah, we do, we do. We'll report back to our listeners if we recommend it. [00:07:52] Speaker A: Right. Yeah. It just gets so complicated because it's moving around cards. Yeah, it gets confused like, is that your cards and my cards? Is that your cards or my cards? It gets so confusing. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. It's a. It's a bit of a game. Like, gotta play it more. Maybe it'll come to us a bit more. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Yeah, actually. [00:08:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:13] Speaker B: But yeah, the. We don't want to disrupt the ecosystems that we have as it is. Interestingly, in our local area, they're clearing a lot of trees and land and they're creating these blocks of land ready to build. And we know that there's going to be plenty of homes going up over the next year or two in our local area, but I haven't told you this. Our local area is also pledging to plant plenty of trees over the next year. [00:08:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:47] Speaker B: So they're clearing trees to plant more trees and they, they're. Yeah. So what, what do you think the environmental impacts of that, like clearing trees and then committing to a project of planting more trees? Like, what do you think about that? [00:09:09] Speaker A: I think it's just not the greatest of things. What need to do, like, there's no need. Like if there's already trees there, why just chop them down and plant more? [00:09:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Well, you look at like our house, we have that tree that's at the front and all our neighbors have one of those trees as well. So the land where our house is would have been cleared. And then once the house was built, then they put the new tree back in. I guess it's kind of an approach of, you know, that land. It was just quicker and easier for them to just quickly clear the land rather than work out, okay, which trees can we keep so that we don't have to replant trees, which would have been the better option. And then what about that little park that we've seen? [00:10:06] Speaker A: They've just chopped down all these like a wonderful trees and just putting like most people have heard of the Yellow Slide Park. [00:10:20] Speaker B: Yeah. The Quinano Adventure Park. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah. The Quinano Adventure Park. They've put plants, the same kind of plants that are at that park. [00:10:29] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a lot of. They're. They're native plants. And, you know, they're. They're doing a good job putting more of those plants back in, but they've literally cleared an area to plant more in. [00:10:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And I. Yeah, like, I. I figured out that the. Which type of plants are park plants. I just call them. [00:10:53] Speaker B: You call them pot plants. Maybe we should do up a little booklet of our local fauna and flora and fauna, which is plants and animals. Like what. What can we find in our local area? [00:11:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:10] Speaker B: And the names of them, and we can learn a little bit about them and whatnot. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah. What do you think? Create a booklet like that maybe. Oh, I think it'll be fun. Maybe we can. Maybe. Maybe we can get some. [00:11:24] Speaker A: I've got enough stories. I'm writing. [00:11:28] Speaker B: You do? [00:11:28] Speaker A: I've got like. Like 10. Wait, no, probably like 15 stories. [00:11:37] Speaker B: Yeah. And there's some movie scripts in there and. [00:11:40] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what most of them are like. Yeah. [00:11:44] Speaker B: Yep. Yeah. Because you. You've been into your movies for. Maybe you can do a documentary about our local area, the local fauna, flora and fauna in our area. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Well, what about you? [00:11:55] Speaker B: Could. You could make it fun? Like, what's that movie? Ulysses and [00:12:03] Speaker A: Ulysses. [00:12:04] Speaker B: Oh, I can't remember. It's a sweet, amazing movie. I love it. [00:12:09] Speaker A: Oh, you mean about this, like, scroll? [00:12:11] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:12:12] Speaker A: Yeah. What's it. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Do you remember what it's called? No. No. Okay. Well, that would be cool if you did a movie like that, but have it factual. Like it's a documentary, but it's fun like that. [00:12:26] Speaker A: Maybe. [00:12:27] Speaker B: Maybe based on true facts, I reckon would be cool. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So we'll have a break, head to a song, and then we'll come back and talk a little bit more about this topic because I find it really fascinating looking at the wants and needs and that delicate balance that we have at the moment with nature and housing. We need both, don't we? Yeah. So we'll come back after a break, head to a song. This is Revolution by the school. [00:13:02] Speaker C: The best music from the 60s to today. IPL radio, that was. [00:13:09] Speaker A: She looks so perfect by five seconds of summer. [00:13:13] Speaker B: And if. [00:13:14] Speaker A: If you've just joined us, this is the family show on IPL Radio. My name is Toby. [00:13:20] Speaker B: I'm Amy. We're introducing ourselves again. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Are we? [00:13:25] Speaker B: We are talking about houses versus trees today on our show. And we're looking at the wants and the needs of our. The state of the housing and the need for trees. So I was thinking while we were on the break, you know, what do you think that we need trees for the most? What are some of the things that you think we need trees for? [00:14:00] Speaker A: They can be used as homes. Yeah, they can be used for. Like they use for what N has been saying a lot lately. [00:14:18] Speaker B: I was just thinking that. What was the thing that N brought up that was the most important thing probably [00:14:25] Speaker A: is our oxygen, because we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. And the trees suck in the carbon dioxide. [00:14:40] Speaker B: Yep. And they use that as a food [00:14:43] Speaker A: and then they let out oxygen. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So the. It's the whole process of photosynthesis that occurs where they're taking the. The carbon dioxide and they need sunlight and everything, and they produce the oxygen through that. And so that we're feeding the plants and they're feeding us what we need. And that's. What would we call that? Do you remember? No symbiotic relationship where we have this relationship where we both. We need each other. We need the trees, and the trees kind of need us kind of. Well, the trees don't really need us. I don't think the trees probably would be a little bit happier without us knocking them down. And what do you think? [00:15:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree with you. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Yeah. So we're gonna play a little game. Are you ready? [00:15:42] Speaker A: Okay. [00:15:43] Speaker B: I'll explain. We're going to. I'm going to do a little rapid fire. I'm going to say a word and you're going to tell me, is it a want or is it a need? [00:15:51] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:15:53] Speaker B: Trampoline. [00:15:55] Speaker A: Want. [00:15:56] Speaker B: Good. A can of beans. [00:16:05] Speaker A: More like a want than a knee. Well, it's more like a need than a want because. [00:16:11] Speaker B: Food. Yeah. Okay, well, I'll go more broad. Food. [00:16:15] Speaker A: Yes. A need. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Okay, cool. What about an Xbox game one? [00:16:24] Speaker A: Yep. [00:16:25] Speaker B: What about cleaning products for your house? [00:16:31] Speaker A: Oh, that's a tricky one. [00:16:33] Speaker B: I love that you're thinking about this. Amazing. Yep. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Because like. Like you don't always have to have your house clean. It's just really nice to have your house clean. [00:16:46] Speaker B: And also, we didn't always have cleaning products. We. Yeah. [00:16:52] Speaker A: Survived without it. [00:16:53] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like there's more probably natural things that we can use. Yeah. [00:16:59] Speaker A: So I probably. I'm gonna do a want. [00:17:01] Speaker B: I want. Yeah, I think it is. It's that fine line between that one, isn't it? [00:17:06] Speaker A: Really complicated. [00:17:07] Speaker B: I love that you're thinking about that one. What about mu. Music? Is it a want or is it a need? [00:17:19] Speaker A: Playing music or music in general. Need. [00:17:23] Speaker B: I think so too. [00:17:24] Speaker A: Because, like. [00:17:25] Speaker B: But I. But it's something that we. We can make music. Like by clapping our hands. Yeah. And singing. Like, we. We can be the music. Yeah, yeah. Computers. [00:17:40] Speaker A: Want. [00:17:42] Speaker B: It is a want. But I think our. The way that our world has become. We can't really live fully without them anymore. We've become. We've gotten to the point where we've. We're dependent on them for our. Our world to work the way that it works. [00:18:01] Speaker A: I don't like that. [00:18:03] Speaker B: You don't like that. You keep telling me you'd like to go back to the 80s, not that you were ever around in the eight. You wish you were born in the 80s, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, let me think. What about sunscreen? [00:18:24] Speaker A: I think it's a need because. Well, it depends on the season. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Can depend on the season. And lifestyle. Yeah, I think it's more of a want. It's the lifestyle. It's the lifestyle that we have created that has meant that we want to be outdoors and protected in the sun and all that sort of stuff and. Yeah. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a want. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Almost. Almost. It's. It's that. That fine line again, isn't it? [00:18:54] Speaker A: This is getting complicated. [00:18:55] Speaker B: Too complicated. So, shall we head to a song? And then we'll head to our regular segments after this. Hey, thank you for having a chat with me about this. It's a really interesting topic talking about the. That want versus need and what's more important with. With land. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:19] Speaker B: So what song should we go to? [00:19:23] Speaker A: Oscar by Smash Mouth. [00:19:25] Speaker B: Let's do it. [00:19:27] Speaker C: The best music from the 60s to today. IPL Rad. [00:19:33] Speaker A: That was All Star by Smash Mouth. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:19:38] Speaker A: And it's time for our first regular cellmate. Dad jokes. [00:19:45] Speaker B: Dad jokes. All right. What have you got for me today? [00:19:49] Speaker A: What did one hat say to the other? [00:19:52] Speaker B: I do not know. [00:19:55] Speaker A: You stay here and I'll go on ahead. [00:20:02] Speaker B: I like it. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Okay. I used to work. I used to have a job at the calendar factory, but then I got fired. [00:20:17] Speaker B: Why? [00:20:19] Speaker A: Because I took a couple days off. [00:20:24] Speaker B: Well, you can't be going and doing that with calendars. I. I understand why you got fired, sir. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Did you hear about some guy that got hit by a can. A can of soda? [00:20:39] Speaker B: No. [00:20:41] Speaker A: He was lucky. Was a soft drink. [00:20:46] Speaker B: What a softy. Well, thank you for your dad jokes. Maybe one day. One day I'll have some prepared for you. It's been what, a year almost of radio, and I've had them prepared maybe what, five times. If that we can dream. Well, we'll head to a song and then after the song, we'll head into our last regular segment of the show. Sound good? [00:21:16] Speaker A: Yep. [00:21:17] Speaker B: We're going to go to, as it was by Harry Styles, the best music [00:21:23] Speaker C: from the 60s to today. IPL radio. [00:21:27] Speaker A: It is time for our last regular segment. That is. Let's learn Italian. [00:21:34] Speaker B: Yes. Come learn Italian with us. So we're going to go and we've done this one recently, but I think we're going to do a little bit of revision. And if you haven't been learning Italian with us, then it's fresh for you, but it's revision for you, Toby. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Yes. [00:21:49] Speaker B: So we're going to do January, February, March, today. Oh, don't, don't, don't. Don't confuse my, my full brain. If you start saying words and I'm not going to remember what they actually. Okay. So January is. Janeo, do the hand. Good job. Okay. And February is Febr. [00:22:20] Speaker A: Febrero. [00:22:21] Speaker B: Febro. Febro, Febro, Febro. You're putting an extra R in there. [00:22:28] Speaker A: I don't know how to do it. [00:22:31] Speaker B: Don't put the R at the end. Fabrea. [00:22:34] Speaker A: Febro. [00:22:35] Speaker B: Good job. [00:22:36] Speaker A: Yes, Finally. [00:22:37] Speaker B: And March is muzzle. [00:22:39] Speaker A: Muzzle. Yeah.
