Sarah and Meghan take on the internet’s favorite moral battleground: Am I the Asshole? But instead of stopping at the social verdict, they split each scenario into two independent scores — the moral judgment and the legal exposure. Because being an asshole and being legally liable are two very different things.

The first case involves a neighbor, a misplaced fence, a riding lawnmower, and a man named Kevin who absolutely snapped. Meghan gives her gut‑level AITA score, Sarah breaks down the legal reality, and the two scales do not land in the same place.

Then comes a business‑breakup scenario featuring a 50/50 LLC, a disappearing partner, a poached client, and a two‑day text message “notice.” It’s messy, familiar, and a perfect example of how the moral verdict and the legal verdict can point in completely different directions.

It’s legal gossip, moral chaos, and a whole lot of “oh no she didn’t,” all wrapped into one case file.

The post Motion to Spill – Episode 016: Are You the Asshole (but from a legal POV) first appeared on Motion To Spill.

Meghan and Sarah kick off this episode with a running bit that somehow turns Tim’s name into a sultry construction‑themed chant, setting the tone for an hour of pure Motion to Spill energy. What starts as playful banter quickly turns into a rapid‑fire volley of construction pickup lines, terrible puns, and jokes that absolutely should not work but somehow do. Between the laughter, the three of them introduce the real topic of the day: how builders, GCs, and subcontractors can protect themselves long before a project goes sideways. It’s a construction episode, but in true Motion to Spill fashion, it’s wrapped in humor, personality, and the kind of chemistry that makes even lien agents sound entertaining.

Once the jokes settle (briefly), Sarah walks through the nine essential elements every construction contract needs, from scope and pricing to change orders, retainage, and the all‑important lien agent designation. Meghan jumps in with real‑world examples, including the plumber who lost thousands because “per plans” wasn’t specific enough. Tim adds the homeowner’s perspective, asking the questions everyone else is thinking but never says out loud. Together, they break down the difference between pay‑if‑paid and pay‑when‑paid, why milestone‑based draws matter, and how a single missing clause can turn into a “big bucks” problem. It’s practical, clear, and surprisingly fun for a topic that usually makes people’s eyes glaze over.

The episode closes with the three of them circling back to the heart of the message: construction disputes almost always start with the contract, and the best time to prevent a disaster is before anyone picks up a hammer. They tease part two — what to do when things actually go wrong — and promise only a few more bad jokes next time. It’s an episode full of laughter, real talk, and the kind of grounded advice that helps builders, tradespeople, and homeowners avoid the pitfalls they never see coming.

The post Motion to Spill – Episode 015: Read the Contract Before You Touch a Shovel first appeared on Motion To Spill.

Meghan and Sarah open this Women’s History Month episode with their signature mix of humor, honesty, and candid conversation. What starts as a playful round of “this or that” quickly shifts into a deeper look at the invisible planning women do every day. Sarah lays out the realities many women face, from outliving their spouses to running businesses without succession plans, and the three of them use their trademark banter to explore why women so often plan for everyone but themselves. It’s thoughtful, funny, and grounded in the lived experience of people who see these patterns up close.

The conversation widens into the cultural, personal, and emotional layers of womanhood. Meghan and Sarah compare girl‑boss energy to quiet confidence, debate Taylor Swift versus Beyoncé, and talk openly about the pressures women face around money, work, and family. Tim jumps in with his own perspective, adding humor and grounding to the discussion. Together, they unpack the dynamics that shape relationships, the arguments couples tend to circle back to, and the ways legal language can confuse even the smartest among us. It’s equal parts laughter and insight, with the kind of honesty that makes listeners feel seen.

It’s a celebration of the women who shaped them, both real and fictional. They talk about historical icons, literary heroines, and the women in their own lives who influenced how they think about work, money, and identity. The conversation drifts from Dolly Parton to Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the joys of reading with their kids, all while keeping the heart of the episode in view: women carry a lot, often quietly, and honoring that work matters. It’s a lively, warm, and deeply human tribute to the women who plan, lead, love, and hold everything together.
