Festivus for the rest of us.

Uh, happy 39th birthday to actor and singer Skylar Astin, known for Pitch Perfect, of course, uh, Spring Awakening, uh, which is interesting because that's gonna reprise here in a minute, and Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist.

Needs a quarterback.

Beloved movies, I have not seen them.

I think it was Skylar Astin's birthday either yesterday or the day before.

I wonder if they had a joint party on set

to celebrate both their birthdays there.

Yeah.

Mary Kay Place, Skylar Astin, Chi McBride, Rosalind Chow, Lisa Rae McCoy, Warren Cole, Chris Johnson, Jermaine Dupree all have birthdays today on September 23rd.

I did want to mention that Boston Marathon is closed out their application period and for the marathon in 2027 they received the highest number of qualifier entry applications at 33,656 so what that means is a higher number of people are not going to get in and the buffer is going to probably be larger than it ever has been so Boston is always capped at 30,000 unlike chicago that just kind of quietly keeps raising its entry numbers so like you know it used to be 45 000 people were allowed into chicago then it was you know 47 now we're up to like 55 000 people can get into chicago because chicago has the infrastructure to be able to handle that many people our roads are wider the way the course is you know it's all in chicago it's pretty self-contained boston is not like that we've talked about this before the streets are narrow the infrastructure is much older it's a point to point so it goes through many different, uh, municipalities and involves many different roads.

Um, so it's always capped at 30,000.

Yeah.
