It’s an all star cast with Kaylee Zhang answering the Kelly Questions and Shawn Becher providing all sorts of interesting thoughts to ponder. Shawn’s segment was found under the soda machine in the cafeteria near the bouncy balls.

After a brief investigation it would appear Shawn’s segment scheduled for an earlier virtual hobby shop show somehow was lost.

If we hadn’t been power washing the office we’d would have never discovered Shawn’s on air segment jammed under a filing cabinet covered with green goo created when the model railroad hobby simply exploded. Enjoy.
