Episode 10: The Best Guest We'll Ever Have (ft. Megan Hunsaker)
Send us Fan Mail 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 8: A Stranger Sent Amy a Celebrity's Phone Number
Send us Fan Mail It's just Amy and Zach this week — Emily's off at a very important design meeting that somehow consumed her entire day. Amy steps up to do the intro for the first time, and the nerves are real. First up: Amy's dating world continues to deliver. A listener DM'd her the phone number of a certain Fox News anchor she matched with on Raya (who never wrote back). Should they call it? Zach thinks yes. Amy's terrified. Verdict: they're calling from Zach's phone and reporting back next week. Meanwhile, Amy drops hints about a mystery trip to Arizona this weekend, and Zach lays out her entire dating cycle for the world to hear — overshare, family pressure, ghosting streak, repeat. The life updates keep rolling: Amy's first barrel race is in three weeks and she's nervous to go full speed (Zach confesses he was scared of horses as a kid and had to be walked around while his younger cousins rode solo). Zach and Megan are headed to Hawaii after their Mexico trip got cancelled due to the cartel situation at Puerto Vallarta. And the Dallas house hunt is heating up — their dream house sold in five days, and Emily and Rachel keep sending $10 million Highland Park listings like it's no big deal. Then the crew dives into listener Q&A: Has the podcast caused family drama? (Shannon's anxiety is real.) Why does Amy call her parents Michael and Shannon? Who's the worst at keeping secrets? (Everyone.) And which couple would Amy live with for a year? The answer involves Dallas dating prospects. Finally, two Judge & Jury dilemmas: a couples-only trip to Mexico that got hijacked by the entire extended family, and a mother-in-law who tells the grandkids "don't tell mom" every single visit. Both hit close to home — literally.

Episode 4: Calling from Hawaii
Send us Fan Mail Emily and Amy are calling in from Hawaii while Zach holds it down from home. This week we're airing out family trip moments, rolling out the sister rankings again, and diving into the Taylor Frankie Paul / Bachelorette pregnancy rumors and the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives LA spinoff casting tea. We also talk about the garments controversy, the search for Savannah Guthrie's mom, and Super Bowl predictions that go completely off the rails. Then in Judge & Jury, you guys sent in your wildest in-law vacation stories — a mother-in-law who only invites her son (not his wife or kids) on family trips AND wore a matching white lace dress to the wedding, a husband who vacations solo with his mom every year, and the couple who disappeared for a spa day mid-family vacation. We gave our verdicts. 📩 Send us your in-law stories via DM on Instagram! 🎙️ Next week: Rachel joins the podcast + the family picture story FINALLY drops.
