1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: I completed a group project by myself. My professor gave

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: me an F but don't worry, I gave him an

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: F two. He's fired. Okayop, this is okay Ope. I'm

00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,000

Speaker 1: York, Yes, smallest apartment in New York. And he didn't

00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: get in Juilliard. But then like all of his fans

00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: just flooded Juilliard's Instagram page and just wreck them, tore

Speaker 1: the future, maybe it's six months, maybe it's a year,

Speaker 1: It all helps, it all helps. But I got a

00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: I got a real story for you, John, that'll help.

Speaker 1: That'll help me. That'll help me. Good story. That's what

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: I want to do. That's what I want. I completed

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: a group project by myself. My professor gave me an

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: F but don't worry, I gave him an F two.

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: He's fired. Kill y'all. Your stupid professor.

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: You thought you could get away with it.

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: You couldn't. You won't. You'll dumb you nincome poop nincompoop.

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: That's that's a good one. I profess that you're stupid.

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: Mike Drop, done's gidding angry.

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: I got I got gosh. You know everyone's been in

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: the group project where yeah, you.

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Know overachievers over here, always always doing the work. So

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I was in speech class. It was my last semester

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: and it was completely online due to COVID. Our professor

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: assigned us a group speech that we were to record

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and send to him by the due date. I thought

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: it would be easy enough, as he gave us two

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: weeks to work on it, and the group speeches weren't

49
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: anything new to me. He even made separate discussion boards

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: for our groups so we could communicate. And this project

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was worth thirty percent of our grade, so failing this

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: project meant you would pretty much fail the course. Oh wow,

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: thirty percent, that's a lot. I wanted to get it

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: done early so we wouldn't have to worry about it,

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: so I immediately post a message to everyone in the

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: group asking when they were free to do a zoom

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: meeting to discuss the project. You know, like op, he's

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: being respect I'm trying to get an no reply for

59
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: a few days by any of them. Sh that's what

60
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: I imagining the meaning the tumbleweed just I didn't post again,

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: this time a little more astern, as it didn't seem

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: like any of them cared enough to reply at all.

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: I waited a few more days. At this point, we

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: only had one week left before it was due, so

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I just divided up the work and posted what everyone

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: would need to write their portion of the speech about,

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: and gave them a date slash time that I would

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: be holding a zoom meeting for the final recording to

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: send to the professor, which, like locate dude, OPI is,

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: OPI is is doing a lot for them. At this point, I.

71
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: Literally just spelling everything out, like, here's your little contribution.

72
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: I've set everything up. Yeah, yeah, it would be in

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: as clear as possible. But still no reply, no reply.

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: It was now the day before the speech was to

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: be recorded, and two days before the speech was due,

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: and my group members had still not made an attempt

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: to contact in any form at all whatsoever. Zilch, not

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: a zero. Come on, come on. So I did the

79
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: only thing I could think of and emailed my professor

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: explaining the situation. But this professor kind of sucks. I

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: assumed he would not reply because throughout the entire semester

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: it took him over a week to reply to any

83
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: emails I had sent him. I then did the entire

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: group project on my own, which took me the entire

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: night with no sleep. After I finished writing everyone's speech,

86
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: it was around the time I had scheduled the Zoom

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: meeting to record. And again, this is a speech class.

88
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: A group speech. What is he like today? I have

89
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: this speech we need to do. He's just running to

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: everyone's spots yep. I then did the entire group project

91
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: on my own. I joined.

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I joined the Zoom meeting out of amusement, knowing nobody

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: in my group would be there. Sure enough, it was empty,

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: so I did the entire speech myself. But the rubric

95
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: really put emphasis on transitioning to our other group members,

96
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: including saying their name. So between every section where it

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: would cut to a different member, I would say something

98
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: like and now my name will explain the importance of

99
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: blah blah, and then mute my screen briefly as if

100
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: to cut but on a different put on a different hat,

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: and then continue the speech. Bro.

102
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: The production value is off the charts for this single

103
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: group speech, right.

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: Opphie is killing it. I did this for all six

105
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: portions of the speech. There's six characters. I turned in

106
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the speech shortly after and filled out the group member

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: roll sheet that was due as well. I just put

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: my name and every single box that was supposed to

109
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: be a different group member, because Ope, did the whole thing,

110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing. A week passes and I see that

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: my professor graded the project, but he still has not

112
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: replied to my previous email about the situation. By the way,

113
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and he gave me a zero, stating it was supposed

114
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: to be a group project.

115
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: You're doing it solo. Man, you don't follow the inscruction.

116
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: Man's dying with every breath.

117
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was about to say, like, first off, he's

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: about to be finishing his life, and second like op

119
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: should literally get like an A plus.

120
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: Plus for doing everything? Like right, are you kidding me?

121
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: I was actually infuriated by this and knew that emailing

122
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: him about the grade was as good as useless. YEP,

123
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: So I went straight above him to the board of

124
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the college and explained to them what happened. The highest

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: power in the.

126
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: Lamb, the highest power, I will go to the citadel

127
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: and talk to the Council of Elders.

128
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: They apologize and said the situation would be resolved within

129
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: a few hours of me talking to the board. Oh wow.

130
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: Then he had replied to my email three times saying

131
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: that he was sorry for the miscommunication about the project

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: and that my grade would be corrected, and then he

133
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: scolded me for going above him, saying, you.

134
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: Should have just emailed me again if you couldn't get

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: in contact with your other class space, and he.

136
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Was putting the blame on me for not trying to

137
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: reach out to them. The next semester, I saw that

138
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: he was no longer with the school. My guess is

139
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: that it was a habit of his to not reply

140
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: to emails and he got fired for it. But he

141
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: was also pretty old, so maybe he just kicked the can. Also,

142
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: his corrected grade was a seventy, but I was so

143
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: mentally exhausted from the situation at that point that I

144
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: didn't care to fight it anymore.

145
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: OP deserves one hundred and seventy percent, Like that is unacceptable.

146
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: They deserve six hundred percent. They do deserve one hundred

147
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: percent for every group member that they did work. Yeah,

148
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous, And.

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: You could just tell like the fact that OP like

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: put together all the slots then just filled it in

151
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: then the muting to transition like ridiculous much work.

152
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: Was putting so much work, and honestly, like no one

153
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: should ever have to do that amount of work. But

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I think people should have to do a little work,

155
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: and so I want to make sure the okop fam

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: does a little bit of work right now, a little bit.

157
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,160
