SYNOPSIS - Who says there’s no truth in advertising? This is truly the worst... well, not the absolute worst, but this stuff is pretty darn bad... but then again, sometimes bad is good... but not this time.

- Pat, with his nose plugged, narrating a bad nature flim.
“LIVE ON TAPE FIRSTS - This was the first, and last “worst of” show we did!

NOTES AND “LIVE ON TAPE” FACTS
- Yes, there are only five episodes between this show and the “Best Of” show. This is almost the half-way point in the run of Live on Tape. I was getting burned out and needed a break, so I just put together another rerun show. Being the boss has its advantages.
