  It's Shep's new pious attitude for 1973 that causes John Wingae to rush over to Shep's microphone and shout "AMEN  AMEN PRAISE THE LORD!"

I will no longer bad-mouth New Jersey
Shep tries to save George the engineer from his sinful ways.

New Jersey Needs A  State Song

To illustrate the "Barbaric Yawp" that is NJ music Shep plays 3 songs recorded by "The 214 Club" in dorm room 214 in the South campus of Steven's Institute of Technology, in Hoboken. New Jersey throughout the show: Has Anybody Seen My Gal?, Beer Barrell Polka and The Man On The Flying Trapeze. The band is made up of a kazoo,  an accordion (and there is no musical instrument more New Jersey than an accordion), a wine jug, a small dog, a radiator,4 garbage can covers and a wet sneaker beating against a suitcase.

Shep tries again to reform George and we actually get to hear the conversation
SHEP: What dId John Wingate say earlier in the  show? C'mon hit that call back button.
GEORGE; I don't know what he said  SHEP: Oh c'mon you heard it
GEORGE: Right on brother! Right on brother!  SHEP:  No he said AMEN   GEORGE: AMEN,  BABY!"

People in the control room: George, Jerry, Leigh (Maybe), John Wingate, Steve

Notes: Of all the engineers Shep worked with George was the one that really had fun. George seemed to be the only WOR enginer that understood Shep's  direction and record cuesNotes:
