In this lively episode of “Psycho Bob Says…” from What’s Shakin With Shaner, co-host Psycho Bob the Cat and Shakin Shaner dive into the quirky world of the Dunning–Kruger Effect—a psychological phenomenon where people with limited skills or knowledge overestimate their competence.

 

The episode opens with Bob’s comical attempt at audio engineering, which leads to a discussion about why those who know the least often feel the most confident. Drawing from the original 1999 study by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the hosts explain that lacking skills also means lacking the ability to recognize one’s own shortcomings.
