After 30 years working together in radio, their shared passion for music created a perfect celebration where Pat connected with countless listeners. The most touching moment? Hearing repeatedly that he brings laughter into people's lives—something he considers his greatest mission as a broadcaster. Exciting developments unfold as Pat reveals the exponential growth of the Pat's Peeps business network. Local entrepreneurs are actively seeking to join, including Wildwood's owner Matt, champion boxer Tony "The Tiger" Lopez with his plumbing business, Paradise Signs, and Popcorn King. What's particularly remarkable is how these businesses are now collaborating with each other, creating a vibrant ecosystem of local support and partnership.
