    What would Pam do? We get so many great answers to that classic question on this week's episode. Pamela shares her unique perspective on Webster Thomas and all of its interpersonal connections. The school secretaries are the first ones in and the last ones out every day, and have perhaps the greatest ability to observe and influence the whole building. This episode is brought to you by Ridge Donuts; grab some fritter and a coffee and let's find some clarity.

    Webster Thomas legend Joe Zaccardo chops it up with his brother and a starstruck fan boy.

Grab some popcorn and prepare for goosebumps.
