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
