The Nazca Lines - May 26, 2025

The show opens with foreign correspondent Tony Five giving a dog update on Dony Dive's Dog Dilemma. Professor of organizations David Krackhardt shares how employees assigned more complex projects early in their work history had better career outcomes. Astronomer and University of Chicago professor Dr. Jacob Bean explains the current state of the alien life search on distant planets. Tony Five returns to the show for News You Can't Use with a morbid and very much (not) current story involving a window cleaner and a giant pencil. On Noah vs. The Unknown, Noah Cappe tells David what the Nazca lines in Peru are. Noah chats about thousands of strange holes in the ocean, and gives us a (somewhat confusing) window into dark matter and the fifth dimension. Dr. Yusuf Oc reveals that multiple-answer question format in exams improves students' learning. Finally, the world champion of spreadsheets Michael Jarman graces The Last Show with his presence.
