Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello! Welcome to your second drink of Prince Family Paper. Uh, Angela, you started this podcast breakdown like our original breakdown with a grape. I did? Yes. What did I say? Okay, it was about a magazine that had put you in a side-by-side of who wore it best. That's so tacky! I know. We discussed. Ugh. Well, in honor of that gripe, I'd like to start this second drink with a similar gripe.
Were you in a side-by-side? No, I wasn't in a side-by-side. Okay. But People Magazine did me dirty, lady. I'm calling them out. They did me dirty. What'd they do? Okay. I get a text from my brother-in-law. He sends me a photo. He had bought a People Magazine because he was getting on a flight. Okay. And he was all excited because he was like, Jenna!
I'm on a flight and I opened my People magazine and here you are. Oh, that's fun. You think it would be fun? But People magazine did me dirty. What the hell did they do? Okay. They took a quote that I said back in, I think, like 2018, like a while ago. Yeah. This is an old quote that they're recycling.
Okay. Slow news day. We're digging back into 2018. So it says...
With younger generations binge-watching 2000's hit The Office on Netflix, on Netflix, the 52-year-old is thrilled to be reaching new audiences. Not so thrilling when she's shopping at Target and is approached by a teen. Quote, they'll say, you know what? Does anyone like tell you that you look like an older version of that girl from The Office?
When Jenna explains that she actually did play Pam Beasley on the show, quote, sometimes they don't even believe me, she told Conan O'Brien, quote. Oh, my God.
This is from so long ago. I know. This is back when Conan O'Brien had a talk show.
Good night. And then I say, they're like, no, but you do look like her. So I remember telling this funny story. That doesn't do me dirty.
That's fine. That's a funny story that I told. Sure, People Magazine, you want to recycle a snippet from an interview from 2018. Fine. We'll let you. Fine. Fine.

Chapter 2: How does Michael Scott's conscience affect his undercover mission?
We all wear it how we wear it. Yeah. Okay? That's how I wore it. Period. That's my body. That's how my body wears stuff. How about who wore it? Me. Yeah. I wore it. Yeah. 100% to me. Yes. For wearing it. And you know what? I got dressed this morning. You're welcome. As you can tell, this episode might have triggered something for us.
As you can tell. Two gals are sitting here, not super appreciating debates on who's hot or who's not. Yeah. Kevin has a lot of thoughts about it. This might be the most Kevin ever spoke in a whole episode. Yes. I think, is this his most line count ever? Possibly.
Well, I think we should get to some fast facts. I agree. Here we go. Fast fact number one, new director alert. Yeah. Asad Kalata. Yes. Yes. So our line producer, Randy Cordray, had worked with Asad before, and he told us that Asad was actually originally supposed to direct an episode in season four. But that season got cut because of the writer's strike. Oh.
And so they slotted him for season five instead. So we could have almost gotten to work with this man earlier. And I tell you what, he is a delight. You guys, he's like television legend.
He's directed everything. Yeah.
Yes, he has directed 77 episodes of The Facts of Life and 117 episodes of Who's the Boss?
I know who's the boss. If your name is Angela, you know who's the boss. What? So the female lead's character is named Angela. You guys, this show was out in the 90s. I was in college in the 90s. I cannot even tell you how many people left this on my answering machine.
Angela!
I had that on my voicemail, I would say on a monthly basis.

Chapter 3: What hilarious debate arises about Hilary Swank's attractiveness?
And there were blue recycle bins in every driveway. I took a few photos. Okay. I'll put those in pod. So then I thought, is that what the recycled trash bins look like in Scranton? So that took me to the recycling laws for Lackawanna County. Oh. Hang with me because there's a woman named Barbara who I am now fascinated by.
First of all, that is not what recycle bins look like in Lackawanna County. So theirs are like these blue round tubs. Okay. Unless they've changed, you guys can correct me. Ours are these like skinny rectangles with lids. Yep. So here's an article I read from April of 2019. Barbara Giovannoli is the recycling coordinator for Lackawanna County. Barbara shared that the recycling center...
in Lackawanna County accepts plastics and glass bottles and jars, aluminum still cans, as well as newspaper. It is a dual stream system. They have containers, bottles, jars, and cans in one and paper fibers separately. They do not accept plastic bags, takeout containers, or pizza boxes. And apparently... Lady, the recycle centers get all kinds of wacky things.
People put all kinds of crazy things in the recycle bins. Barbara has a tip for you. She wants you to know. She says there's an easy way to remind yourself what can and cannot be recycled at the Lackawanna County Recycling Center. Quote, ask yourself, is it a bottle? Is it a jar? If the answer is no, that means it has to be thrown away. I want to meet Barbara. I want to meet Barbara.
I want to meet Barbara. It's real simple. Ask yourself, is this a jar? Is this a bottle? No. Trash. Wow. We have to meet her. We have to meet her. Anyway, this was a random thing I noticed in the background. No palm tree siding. Several recycle bins.
Also in the scene, for those of you guys keeping track of how many times Michael Scarn is mentioned in the series, this is one of them because it's going to be Michael's alias. And then they get into a real heated argument. I mean, that has history about Denny's and IHOP. Yeah. They're going to rendezvous after they get the info. Michael says at IHOP. And Dwight's like, I did not agree to IHOP.
Socialist, he says.
Yeah, he's like, you socialist. I'm going to Denny's. And Michael's like, you are going to IHOP and you will have pancakes and you will like it. What do you like? Do you have strong feelings about IHOP or Denny's? I really don't, but I would say I've had IHOP more because there was one right on campus when I went to college, basically like across the street, and we would walk over there.
And there's also one by my kid's pediatrician office. So I've just been to IHOP more.

Chapter 4: How do the Office Ladies relate personal experiences to the episode?
Yeah. Andy calls for a final vote on Hilary Swank's hotness. It's another tie. We discover like this is what happens. People just argue their position. They don't listen. That's what Oscar says. Yeah, no one's moved. No one's moving. But Michael gets back to the office during all of this.
He's clearly worked up. He goes in his office with Dwight. They shut the door. He doesn't want to go through with it. Yeah. Dwight knows that Michael is bailing. So he's going to try his best to convince Michael that what they did was right. And of course, he's going to use the one argument that will clearly point this out to Michael, which is a Lord of the Rings analogy.
Dwight says, there was a terrible war. Ugh, so many died. Far too many died. But if Frodo hadn't destroyed the ring, then goodness itself might have died.
I didn't understand that. I was Michael. I have questions.
I wrote them down. Okay. I thought you might. Listen, I am not a Lord of the Rings expert. I don't want to get mail, guys. I just am a fan. I've seen the movies multiple times. I've read some of the books. It's a big commitment to get through them all. Okay. I have not gotten through them all.
Okay, well, here's my first question. Okay. Who is the Lord of the Rings? Okay. Is it Frodo? No. Is it the guy with the beard?
No, it's not like a one person. What is the ring? Well, it's called the one ring, right? The one ring to rule them all. Okay. Oh, Lord. Okay. All right. Where do I even start? First of all, here's what I want to say. I know the battle that Dwight's referencing. I'm pretty sure it's the Battle of the Black Gate, right? Which is the big, major battle for the War of the Ring.
They fought it right in front of the gate, and they were trying to distract the Eye of Sauron because the Eye of Sauron tracks whoever holds the ring, and Frodo had the ring, and Frodo was trying to get to Mount Doom to drop it into the lava lake thing, right? That's the one place it can be destroyed.
Why do you have to get get rid of it. Why is he destroying it?
