Barrel racer Amy gives Zach his first real riding lesson on DOC, her giant and easily spooked horse. He breaks his tailbone on the first trot, she rates her mountain horseback date a 10/10, and they take a $1,000 family vacation-home dispute to Judge & Jury. Plus: meet Fabby, the question box gets brutal, and the Dallas move is one week away.

Pay $1,200 or you're out of the wedding party. That's the ultimatum a bride handed her six bridesmaids for a Cabo bachelorette trip: flights, four nights, a villa split. Her fiancé's sister said she couldn't swing it and offered to celebrate at a dinner instead. The bride cut her from the wedding party and still expects her at the wedding. Amy and Zach put the whole thing on trial, then take a second case about a wife who built a secret following roasting her husband until her stepbrother sent him the account.

Before the verdicts, Husband Translation is back: "sorry, just seeing this," "is your sister coming?" and "I'll get to it this weekend," plus the rained out trail ride date Amy definitely did not make a TikTok about. Zach airs his airplane grievances, the tipping debate gets heated, and Amy needs to know whether waiters actually spit in your food. Then Amy goes country strong, Michael answers a blue roan in Nebraska with nothing but dollar signs, Zach fails the what horses actually cost quiz, and the whole family piles into the studio for Shannon's scripture of the week.

Amy ghosted our in-person recording, then bought a second horse. We launch Husband Translation, a brand new segment where Amy reads a real husband text and Zach tells her what it actually means. Plus the tire shop that charged Megan $900 for one tire, why kids should not be on electric bikes, and a Judge & Jury about a sister-in-law who stole the baby name.

Amy’s neighbor demanded $1,600 for a fence he built before she moved in. When she refused to pay, he sent a sheriff to serve her with small-claims papers.

Amy and Zach revisit the unbelievable lawsuit, debate whether $30,000 in student debt should worry a future mother-in-law, and answer a listener who wants to know where Zach really fits within the family. Amy also shares the creepy text she received after a Hinge date at the rodeo, while Zach reveals how a hitchhiking ride in Mozambique ended with him jumping out of a stranger’s car.

Plus: Amy’s second horse, a baggage-claim disaster, neighborhood gossip, TikTok arguments, and the horse-expense spreadsheet that will never exist.

Amy returns from Dallas with a fake Southern accent and a plan to use it on her next date. She and Zach break down an awkward YSA encounter, their failed attempt to buy lottery tickets, and the argument that followed over what each would do with $600 million.

They also discuss the Lindsay Clancy case and the difficult questions surrounding postpartum mental health, psychosis, medical treatment, and accountability. Later, Amy explains Alix Earle’s unconventional family dynamic, reveals why she turned down a reality-TV pitch involving her family, and considers letting Zach produce a blind date for the podcast.

The episode ends with an entirely hypothetical Judge & Jury case involving a speeding ticket, a very inappropriate cop, and Amy’s surprisingly complicated answer.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of postpartum mental illness, child death, suicide, and violence from 29:04 to 43:12. The hosts’ comments are personal opinions, not medical or legal advice.

Amy finally bought her horse—and apparently that was only the beginning of the spending.

This week, Amy joins Zach in Dallas to talk about her new life as a horse girl, the enormous pile of supplies she bought before even bringing Doc home, and their plan to record an entire podcast episode while riding horses.

They also get into Zach and Megan’s experience interviewing for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the strange tactics reality TV producers use to create drama, and why Taylor Frankie Paul may seriously need to step away from social media.

Plus, Amy tours Zach and Megan’s new Dallas house, reveals that she used to mow the lawn, and tells a Relative from Hell story about a mother-in-law who shot her son-in-law 15 times—and then casually went to Denny’s and a casino.

Judge & Jury: Is a new mom justified in cutting off her mother-in-law after she ignored nearly every boundary surrounding the newborn?

This video is about EP28 CUTAmy has officially crossed into full horse-girl territory…

This week the conversation goes everywhere—in the best way. Amy reveals why she may be leasing a second horse, Zach exposes just how spoiled they both were growing up, they debate dream lives, confess the worst ways they cheated in school, laugh through awkward family dynamics, and react to another unbelievable Relative From Hell story.

It’s one of the funniest, most natural episodes yet.

A husband thinks he’s getting his family back.

Instead, he walks into one of the most unbelievable family stories we’ve ever discussed.

This week, Amy and Zach introduce a new Relative From Hell segment before diving into a shocking real-life case involving a marriage on the brink, a mother-in-law, a brother-in-law, and a plan that ended with multiple family members behind bars.

Plus, we catch up on everything from World Cup obsession and dating preferences to the kind of conversations only Legally Friends can have.

As always, we finish by asking the question that matters most:

Who’s guilty… and what’s your verdict?

Amy's out this week, which means it's just Zach and Megan, and the bickering is immediate. Zach opens up about his new job and the weird loneliness of watching your family have fun without you from a hotel room. Megan recaps the Telluride trip in a 15 passenger van (hairpin turns, fire smoke, one smashed finger), and then we get into it: did we hide our crazy during our 63 day engagement, why big reactions drive Zach insane, our screen time and clean eating philosophies, backyard chickens, and Megan's Diet Coke exit plan.

Listener questions cover what made Zach stand out, finding your village after a move, and our house rules (no sleepovers, no video games, pick a sport). Then Judge & Jury brings the heat: a Christmas gift exchange standoff, a wedding dress code hypocrite, a neighbor's leaking RV, and Jeff, the brand new brother in law who demanded 40 hours notice before family could visit their own parents' house, then blocked everyone on the way to the airport. Court is in session.

Amy confesses to 10.5 hours of screen time a day, Zach is fighting his migraines with red light and cutting Diet Coke, and there's a guy from Texas trying to outbid her on a horse she found on Facebook Marketplace. Then it's go time: this is our giveaway episode, so we announce the sweatshirt winners and put NINE of your Judge & Jury dilemmas in front of the jury.

On the docket this week: a mother-in-law who set up a sneaky playdate, in-laws lining up to book the lake house they never helped renovate, cousins swearing around the little kids, how to announce a pregnancy at a bachelorette, doing all the family planning and getting zero credit, the four words you should never say to someone going through infertility, the "this isn't sponsored" influencer debate, and whether making friends in your 30s really is just like dating. You be the judge.
