Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 09, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Pat! May your day be filled with more joy than finding a rare NES cartridge at the flea market for just two bucks. Your dedication to retro gaming has given us countless laughs—from epic rants on "Pat the NES Punk" to hilarious haggling adventures in Flea Market Madness. You've proven that blowing into cartridges isn't just nostalgia—it's an art form.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success and fewer completely unnecessary podcast tangents (though we secretly love those). Keep being awesome, keep hunting treasures, and remember: you're not getting older; you're leveling up!
