Attorney Sarah Young and paralegal Meghan Rodgers share their most memorable (and cringe-worthy) interview experiences while hiring for their Clemmons, North Carolina, law firm. From a candidate who spoke in third-person superlatives for 25 minutes straight to mock phone calls performed in multiple voices, they’ve seen it all. The duo also breaks down the legal do’s and don’ts of job interviews, explaining what questions employers legally cannot ask about age, religion, disabilities, and other protected categories—and what job seekers should know about their rights when faced with inappropriate questions.

The Hot-Button Issue: drug testing and Delta-8/Delta-9 THC products that are legal in North Carolina but can still cost you your job. Sarah discusses a recent Fourth Circuit case (Anderson v. Diamondback) and explains why testing positive for legally purchased hemp products can still result in termination under current law. The episode wraps up with rapid-fire personal questions that reveal their heroes, worst jobs (taxidermy supply warehouse inventory, anyone?), and treasured possessions. Whether you’re hiring, job hunting, or just curious about workplace law, this episode offers both practical advice and plenty of laughs about the realities of employment in 2025.

Attorney Sarah Young and newly certified North Carolina paralegal Meghan Rodgers launch their podcast by sharing how their daily conversations about law, life, and everything in between became Motion to Spill. The best friends and coworkers explain their mission: to pull back the curtain on what really happens in a law office: the messy, absurd, and hilarious moments that confidentiality usually keeps hidden. They’ll be sharing de-identified stories, answering listener questions, and debunking common legal misconceptions, all while navigating their roles as moms, wives, and professionals in 2025.

In this episode, Sarah and Meghan recount their own origin story, from their awkward first meeting (involving ghosted texts and a “near car-jacking” incident with identical vehicles) to Meghan essentially announcing she’d be working at Sarah’s law office. They also share one particularly memorable client situation involving persistent phone calls and an uncomfortable hospital encounter. Future episodes will cover estate planning, real estate law, current events, and lifestyle topics—with plenty of laughs along the way.
