Shep claims that after reviewing records of some of his past shows he has been backsliding. He has not lived up to his New Year's resolutions. He takes a phone call who claims to be backsliding. Didn't do very good in his first semester vowing to do better in the second. Did even worse in the second and vowed to do better in the third semester - now he's in summer school.
