Ep 36: Do You Even Look?! – Annoying Habits That Break Us
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!

Ep 35: Bullied for My Teeth — Now We’re Getting It Right for Our Kids (with Dr. Kunal Patel)
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.

Ep 34: Broken Toes & Broken Boundaries
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)

Ep 33: 10 Year Old Bullied Over Whatsapp & Lazy Things People Do We Hate
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.

Ep 32: Secondary Schools & Things We Do As Parents That We Don’t Tell People
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.
