John SchindellHOST
So, Tracy, I'm thinking about an episode of The Office where they had the Dundies.
John SchindellHOST
Does this sound familiar? So Dunder Mifflin's a paper company.
John SchindellHOST
They have every year at Applebee's Dundies where they try to give out these employee recognition awards.
John SchindellHOST
That's not what we're talking about here, right? Or is that part of it?
DarylHOST
It's a cognitive bias where overestimation of knowledge or ability in a specific area occurs usually from a lack of self-awareness that prevents one from accurately assessing one's own skills.
DarylHOST
And I included the clip from The Office, and I think of the Dunning-Kruger effect like the Dunder-Mifflin effect, where the protagonist, Michael Scott, often overestimates his abilities.
DarylHOST
It makes for great entertainment only on a video, not in real life.
DarylHOST
This phenomenon could be due to not wanting to appear incompetent in a system that values confidence.
Jenna FischerHOST
It's Company Picnic, season five, episode 28, written by Jen Celotta and Paul Lieberstein, directed by the dearest man on the planet, Ken Kwapis.
Jenna FischerHOST

GregHOST
A turning point happened in 2005 when Carell starred in the American adaptation of the British mockumentary sitcom The Office.
GregHOST
delivering a legendary Golden Globe-winning performance as Michael Scott, the painfully awkward yet deeply well-meaning regional manager of Dunder Mifflin.
GregHOST
That same summer, he co-wrote and starred in Judd Apatow's blockbuster hit The 40-Year-Old Virgin, establishing himself as a leading man.
GregHOST
Throughout the late 2000s, Carell continued on the big screen by headlining comedies like Evan Almighty and Get Smart, while also lending his voice for a generation of families to hear as the reformed supervillain grew in Illumination's multibillion-dollar Despicable Me franchise.

GeorgeHOST
So...
GeorgeHOST
What I've done is I kind of I created four Dunder Mifflin based chat AI agents that help me with different tasks for Gen X Renup.
GeorgeHOST
So I've got a Pam.
GeorgeHOST
I've got a Jim.
GeorgeHOST
So this lady, she's a hairdresser and she had a side business where she created this own wig extension kind of thing.
GeorgeHOST
But she was overwhelmed with trying to do both things.
GeorgeHOST
And so this YouTuber who's big into AI, he created six AI all based on the Dunder Mifflin office characters.
GeorgeHOST
But he even went a step further than what I'm doing.
Connor HapperHOST
I thought that he dressed like he was going to...
Connor HapperHOST
You remember when Ryan Howard was named the CEO of Dunder Mifflin and he was like, I want to throw a party for all the branches and it ended up being like a chat room party and he was on the TV and he was waving.
Connor HapperHOST
So my thumbnail from yesterday's show almost came to fruition.
JoeyPANELIST
