About the episode:
Shaun Micallef admits he approached fatherhood much like an IKEA flatpack: without reading the instructions.
Now his middle son Gabe is 26, and the pair have become colleagues, co-hosting Network 10’s Shaun Micallef’s Parents Evening, a game show that tests just how well parents and their adult children really know each other.
In this episode, Shaun and Gabe sit down with Tiffany Dunk to talk about what Gabe inherited from his dad, growing up with one of Australia’s best-known comedians and how their relationship has changed now that they’re both adults.
Plus, they reveal how the homemade movies they made together when Gabe was a child may have laid the groundwork for them eventually ending up on television together.
Moments you’ll hear:
- Shaun’s theory about whether love actually exists
- Why Shaun decided not to read the parenting books
- The simple childhood adventures Gabe remembers with his dad
- What Gabe inherited from Shaun
- The homemade movies they made together as a family
- What it was really like growing up with Shaun Micallef as your dad
- How Parents Evening brought father and son together professionally
- What Shaun and Gabe hope for each other’s futures
