In this hilariously relatable episode of Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered, Dean and Sara dive into the maddening world of irritating questions and baffling modern obsessions.
From the dreaded “Are we there yet?” on long drives to the daily frustration of deciding what’s for dinner, the duo vent about the small but mighty annoyances that every parent (and partner!) knows all too well.
Expect a raw, funny, and slightly savage breakdown of pointless questions, surprise house visits, ketchup-on-lasagna offenders, and things they just don’t get—like horror films, reality TV, and why anyone needs a personalised number plate. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and full of laughs!

In this honest and eye-opening episode, Dean and Sara get real about a topic many parents quietly stress over: our kids’ teeth. Sara admits their 6-year-old just saw the dentist for the first time (oops), and Dean opens up about how his childhood nickname “Beaver” still stings thanks to some serious dental insecurities.
To break the cycle and get some actual answers, they’ve invited expert dentist Dr. Kunal Patel—who not only runs a chain of clinics called Love Teeth but also opened one with a surprising twist that caught Sara's eye. They ask him all the real parenting questions, like:
Are dummies/thumb-sucking really that bad?
When should we actually start brushing baby teeth?
What’s the deal with fluoride, sealants, and clear aligners?
And… is it really that awful if they eat a lollipop before bed just once in a while?
From TikTok dental myths to teenage whitening strip obsessions, this episode is full of practical advice, funny confessions (hello, Bacardi bottle party trick), and the one thing every parent should know to help their kids have great teeth for life.

This week on Fun Dad Dean & Wife: Unfiltered, Dean's nursing a busted toe and Sara’s not holding back on the mockery (spoiler: she still thinks childbirth wins). We dive into how parents should react when injured in front of kids—are you modelling calm or chaos?
Then we shift gears and tackle a big one: your child’s digital footprint. From oversharing online to AI dangers, school uniforms in photos, and the blurry line between memories and privacy—this episode is real, raw, and full of laughs (and a few uncomfortable truths)

In this episode, we dive into an unexpected and eye-opening situation where our 10-year-old daughter became the target of bullying on WhatsApp—despite not even owning a phone. What started as a troubling experience turned into a powerful moment of growth and learning for our daughter.
In the second half, we lighten the mood with a fun (and slightly petty) rant about the lazy habits people have that drive us crazy—including some of our own! Expect laughs, real talk, and maybe a little friendly roasting.

In this episode, we dive into the new drama Adolescence—and let’s just say, the school portrayal was... something else. We unpack how it was depicted and what it stirred up for us, especially with our eldest heading into those years soon.
We also get personal, sharing some of the things we do as parents that don’t always make it into conversation. It’s honest, a little messy, and definitely real.

Sara's sister has just had a baby, which got us reminiscing about our own experiences as new parents. Looking back, there are definitely things we would do differently—hindsight is a wonderful thing! We’re not parenting experts, but if we could give our past selves some advice, we certainly would. And just to be clear—there are no more babies in our future… we’re done!

In this episode, we dive into the controversial 100% attendance awards given to kids and explore the potential pitfalls they create. We share some candid feedback from parents and offer our own perspective on why these awards might do more harm than good.
Plus, when our daughter brought home the class mascot, Jungle, what was meant to be a fun week turned into a hilarious disaster! Finally, we round off with a lighthearted segment where we break down three things we love about people and three things that drive us nuts.
Tune in for a fun, honest conversation—if you find yourself relating to any of our pet peeves, don’t take it too personally!

In this episode, we sit down with TJ Power, founder of Dose Lab and author of a Sunday Times Bestseller. DOSE stands for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins—four brain chemicals that dictate how we feel, behave, and interact with the world. TJ breaks down each chemical and explains how modern behaviors are affecting them, leading to increased anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation in both adults and children.
We dig deep into how we can change our behaviors to help ourselves and our kids live thriving, fulfilling lives. There’s so much to learn here, making this a must-watch for all parents!
