Summary

It’s Friday, and we all wish we could be Ferris Bueller. Well, one reporter actually tried. Kimberly Adams and guest host Amy Scott discuss what happened when said reporter skipped work for a day of fun. Plus, could this be “Phantom of the Opera’s” last hoorah on Broadway? Then, our favorite game stumps the hosts (oops).

Here’s everything we talked about today:

“Could ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ really be done? We found out.” from The Washington Post
“‘Phantom of the Opera’ to close after 35 years on Broadway: sources” from the New York Post
“‘Phantom of the Opera,’ Broadway’s Longest-Running Show, to Close” from The New York Times
“Apple and Starlink compete to turn your smartphone into a satellite phone” from Marketplace
“California’s grid withstood the heat wave with texts, batteries and conservation” from Marketplace
“Kourtney Kardashian Should Call Patagonia’s CEO” from The Cut
“For Gen Z, TikTok Is the New Search Engine” from The New York Times
