Episode 15: The Journal, The Bonfire, The Truth — Scarlett Bentley Unfiltered
April 23, 2026
Scarlett Bentley from Temptation Island Season 2 sits down with us for her first full tell-all. We cover her whole story — from growing up in Arkansas to Below Deck Sailing Yacht to meeting Cole, and everything that went down on the island that viewers didn't get to see. Things we cover: • How Scarlett and Cole actually met (and the state of the relationship before the show) • The small lies that became the big problem • Whose idea it really was to go on Temptation Island • Whether she was already done with Cole before she got there • Her connection with Bradley Bobbit and what the edit left out • The journal moment Cole admitted to at the final bonfire (her first reaction is a lot) • What "enough" would have actually looked like at the bonfire • Why only 1.5% of the three weeks they filmed actually aired • Responding to the online hate, the "she's just chasing clout" theories, and the "she used him" accusations • Where she and Cole actually stand today • The reunion (what to expect without spoilers) • Judge & Jury: Scarlett joins us on the bench for listener dilemmas that hit WAY too close to home Submit your dilemma: legallyfriendspodcast@gmail.com Follow us: @scarlettbentley @meglskalla @amyskalla

Episode 10: The Best Guest We'll Ever Have (ft. Megan Hunsaker)
Megan Hunsaker — Zach's wife, podcast manager, and the best guest we'll ever have — finally takes a seat at the table. She reveals her secret audition for a reality TV show, her jaw-dropping dance resume (Radio City Rockettes at 12, Juilliard scholarship, BYU Cougarettes), and what it's really like being married to Zach. But first, Amy recounts her mortifying moving experience involving movers, a misplaced personal item, and a very unfortunate phone call from her nephew. We also spill some Secret Lives of Mormon Wives tea, respond to our worst Apple review, and debate a Judge & Jury case about a husband's secret family group chat. Key Topics: Amy's mortifying moving story — movers, misplaced items, and a nephew's discoveryMegan's reality tv show audition and her incredible dance backgroundWhy Megan isn't a regular host (she's the behind-the-scenes puppet master)The 69-day engagement storySecret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 dramaResponding to our worst Apple Podcast reviewJudge & Jury: Is a secret family group chat a red flag?Guest: Megan Hunsaker — dancer, BYU Cougarette, podcast manager, and Zach's wife. Started dancing at age 3, was Clara in Radio City Christmas Spectacular at age 12, competed at NYCDA Nationals, had scholarships to Juilliard and Pace, and grew up dancing alongside Whitney Levitt and competing against Lindsay Arnold and Whitney Carson. Judge & Jury Verdict: "My husband's family has a group chat that I'm not in." Verdict: Need more information. The trio agrees it depends on context — if it's normal family logistics, it's fine; if they're talking about you behind your back, that's a problem. Amy's advice: go read the messages and come back with an update. Zach's advice: just talk to your husband directly.

Episode 16: [Unfiltered] The Secret Family Group Chat Is Back
This week, Zach and Amy are trying something new: a fully unfiltered episode. They talk upcoming guests, Amy’s fertility hypotheticals, the infamous “Uncle Daddy” conversation, her possible new horse Brazil, a tragic $100 singles event, sister fights, Utah recommendations, Secret Lives drama, and Amy’s attempt to explain her latest book obsession. Then Judge & Jury goes off the rails: a listener who was left out of the family group chat finally gets added… only to discover there is a real “OG family” chat with no wives included. Her mother-in-law has been talking about every daughter-in-law, her husband has been quietly sitting in the chat, and now she has screenshots. Should she confront her husband, tell the other wives, or drop the screenshots and let it burn? Send us your verdict — guilty or not guilty? And submit your own family drama for Judge & Jury.

Episode 13: The Weekly Trash Is on Trial (ft. Josie Van Dyke)
Josie Van Dyke — host of The Weekly Trash and mama of 3 — sits down with Zach and Amy and gets more honest than we expected. She shares everything: growing up in a "gray area" Mormon household, the Tinder story that led to her husband, the moment that almost ended it all, and how she built Weekly Trash from nothing into 250+ episodes. Plus: $2,000 faucets causing fights in Zach's marriage, Amy giving up on men for horses, Sustained or Overruled gets heated (someone said "she can hold the leg"), Judge & Jury takes on a husband secretly sending $500/month to his parents, and Amy gets called out as the biggest liar on the show. Segments: • Opening Statements: Faucet wars, horse shopping & going viral for the wrong reason • The Josie Van Dyke Story: Family, faith, heartbreak & how Weekly Trash started • Sustained or Overruled: In-law hot takes — mother-in-law at labor, calling your mom every day, posting other people's kids • Judge & Jury: Secret money to the in-laws — who's guilty? • Amy's Exposed: "I love to tell a little white lie" Follow us on Instagram @legallyfriendspodcast and TikTok @legallyfriends.
