Don't Talk To Me Like I Was An Animal Or Something is the ninth episode of The Amazing Race: Family Edition.
Synopsis[]
During a tranquil ride in a hot air balloon, the peace is disturbed when two Teams collide in the air.
Teams are taken aback by one family's outburst and strange behavior on the race. Another family breezes through an otherwise challenging task while the other teams struggle attempting to control the herd of animals. At the mercy of an unpredictable volcano, teams are detained on their way to the Pit Stop.[2]

Teams must drive themselves to Park City High School to find their next clue.
Teams must sign up for a shuttle service leaving every 10 minutes to a hot air balloon site. At the site, teams must inflate a hot air balloon, which they would then ride 3.3 miles to the landing site, where they would receive their next clue.
Teams must drive themselves to Heber City and find Heber Valley Railway, where they would find their next clue.
Choice A: Spike It
Teams must use the provided materials to complete a 20 ft section of railway track. Once the section of track was complete and deemed safe by a railway engineer, teams would receive their next clue.
The Bransen, Godlewski, and Linz Families chose this task.
Choice B: Steam It
Teams must fill the tender of a steam locomotive with approximately 400 lbs of coal using a wheelbarrow and a ladder. Once they had transported enough coal, they would receive their next clue.
Teams must drive themselves to Bonneville Salt Flats and search the area around the Tree of Utah to find their next clue.
Teams must drive themselves to Garden City and find Bear Lake Rendezvous Beach, where they would stay overnight. Their departure time the following morning would depend on the order they arrive. The first team to arrive at the park would depart at 8:30 am, with each succeeding team departing every 15 minutes thereafter.
Teams must drive themselves to Big Piney, Wyoming and find Dunham Ranch, where they would find their next clue.
"Who's ready to cowboy up?"
The two team members assigned to perform this Roadblock must get on horses and herd six cattle from a holding pen to a corral a quarter of a mile away. Once all six cattle were safely in the corral, teams would receive their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams were given a manuscript stating "I'm old, I'm faithful" in their clue, leaving them to figure out that they must drive themselves to Yellowstone National Park and find Old Faithful. Once they have seen the geyser erupt, a fireman would hand them their next clue.
