1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Would I be the a hole if I kick out

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: a struggling single mom from a group project worth thirty

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: percent of her final mark? Okay, op, this is okay Ope.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm Samuel Donner and.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: I'm John Fry.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: In coming we have I am looking for any most

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: funny far he is on the internet.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: You are in luck because here we have the funniest

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: stories on the internet. Welcome to okay planet. Okay, op,

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: saved it. I saved it.

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: You saved it, John, and you put in good work

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: saving that one. But I actually have a question for

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: you about work and about like schoolwork. What are some

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: actual excuses to not do your school I'm like, I'm

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: not talking about like my dog gave my whole work,

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: real excuses if.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: You accidentally I feel like, if you accidentally microwaved your hands,

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: like really badly, you can't type a right. So that's

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: all that. Although there probably could be an argument made

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: for like Seri dictator Siri dictation perhaps, but in my opinion.

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Sary gets so much wrong though that's true.

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: In my opinion, microwaving your hands, Uh, we can we

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: can give you slack for that one.

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: I think I think another one you could probably get

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: slacked four is like if if the president of the

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: United States, right, yeah, like North Korea is about to

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: send nukes over, oh straight up, right, and and they're like,

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: we're about to send nukes over unless unless someone in

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: your country sends me a picture of their beautiful, beautiful

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: hands and they cannot write before they do it.

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, you can't. You can't disrupt, Like it's like,

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: it's like the school equivalent of callouses.

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: You know, no callouses and everyone when you write callouses

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: when you type your callouses on the ends of your fingers.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that would be another excuse. But what

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: about being a single mom?

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: A single mom? Well, I probably need a little bit

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: more context than that, but I feel like there are

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: I could I could foresee scenarios where a single mom

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: might might deserve some some slack. Let's hear. I think

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: it's fair to say.

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Let you let's let's have you pass some judgment though,

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: all right, let me let me judge. Would I be

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: the a hole if I kick out a struggling single

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: mom from a group project worth thirty percent of our

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: final mark?

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: Dude, this this is a rough situation on all angles.

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: I am a second year in the university doing group project.

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: In my intruder research method class, there's a group project

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: where thirty percent of our final marks and we have

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: to create a journal article based on whatever we like

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: as long as we have sufficient data. Anyways, I was

54
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: assigned in a group that I can already tell isn't

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: exactly top tier. Unfortunately, we can't pick our group members.

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: Girl A seems okay, albeit the go with the flow type,

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: and the other person is definitely older and isn't giving

58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: me a good outward appearance five outward appearance five yeah,

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: as that just be like this person's all dressing poorly like.

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: So we talked and agreed to split up the work

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: and do sections as opposed to working together because girl

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: B doesn't have a car and I don't want to

63
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: do it in school as parking is expensive and low key.

64
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Like every group project that I've ever done was split

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: into to pieces like, we don't actually work on it

66
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: together in the same room. So it was decided girl

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: B will do the abstract and intro. I will do

68
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the methods and results since I since I didn't really

69
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: trust them A, we'll do discussion, conclusion and references. We

70
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: all decided what to do, and I told them I

71
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: will keep communication open and email them both findings as

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: I go so they could do their parts. I've been

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: emailing them constantly since mid October and the project is

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: due November twentieth. I scheduled a meeting on the thirteenth,

75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: just a touch base and see how they are doing.

76
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: During the meeting, we showed each other the work and

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, the abstract in the intro is like

78
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: written by a high schooler. It seemed like she did

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: it the night before. It bare and it barely described

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: what we were trying to do. So I called her

81
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: out on it and told her that I'm doing the

82
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: heavy lifting and the two parts she has are literally

83
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: the easiest sections. She proceeded to tell us how she

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: has a part time job and on top of that,

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: she's raising a kid, and just went on and on

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: about how hectoric her life is, and then off handedly

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: insulted me, saying, because I don't have a job and

88
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: a kid, I wouldn't understand. I get that. I get

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: thought she's super busy, but university is optional. I think

90
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: she should get a pass simply because her life is hectic.

91
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: But whatever, so I said, fine, email me a second

92
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: draft on Saturday the sixteen. I just got it today,

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: a day late to the seventeenth because she said her

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: kid was sick so she had to pick up an

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: extra shift. I read it and it is still lacking.

96
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Keep in mind I gave her pointers. I think she

97
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: maybe changed a couple of sentences and then used at asaurus,

98
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: so she didn't do much.

99
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: Wait, use this thesaurus. Why would that be bad?

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Just use it the sourus to change some words.

101
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I see. So basically just like coppied and

102
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: pasted some new words in there.

103
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so would I be the a hole for emailing

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: my professor tonight to explain the situation and then drop her.

105
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: From the group. Okay, So I was going to say that,

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: like I think it's it's like he's if you ask

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: the question, is he the a hole from like trying

108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: like dropping her from the group or something like that. Maybe,

109
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: but like just bring it up to the professor in

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: a way of life, I think you should go as

111
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: a group to the professor and basically like, hey, this

112
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: is uh you know, this is the group member, this

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: is her situation, Like can we figure out some sort

114
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: of agreement to like because because like she's had these

115
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: things come up, don't like you don't get to make

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: the decision.

117
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I feel like like, or yeahlin the situation to the professor.

118
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: As a group, it's like, okay, look like she has

119
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: been doing something like honestly. I also feel like, oh,

120
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: obviously low ki Opie was salty because saying things like

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: they presented poorly? What was it they presented poorly? And

122
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: then also oh's biased? Uh there was something else.

123
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: Like they like they looked old.

124
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they looked old. Yeah, It's like, okay, like

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: that was unnecessary, he's biased.

126
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I think Ope's I think that is

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: an excellent way to approach it. But what if the

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: single mother doesn't want to do that and he doesn't

129
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: want to show up.

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: It's also totally possible, Like to Ope's credit, it is

131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: totally possible that like the mom is just making excuses,

132
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: Like that's totally a possibility. So Opie could be right.

133
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: I like your for I like, I think your first

134
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: example is flawless. But what if she doesn't want to

135
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: show up?

136
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: What if she doesn't want to show Yeah, okay, so

137
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: you give her you let her know in writing and

138
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: be like, hey, like this is the plan. I think

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: we should all go to the professor together and basically

140
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: figure out like, okay, can we all do portions that

141
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: each of us can given our schedules and then be

142
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: graded accordingly. Right, And I think if the I think

143
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: if she doesn't respond to that, like, you know, within

144
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: a few days, and it's like I'm down, then you

145
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: go to the professor and be like, hey, I reached

146
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: out to her. Here's the email here. She either didn't

147
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: respond or like didn't give back to me, and like

148
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: at this point, I'm not sure what to do.

149
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like, you know, pretty pretty great course

150
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: of action. Yeah, I don't think it's like being a

151
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: single mother, although it's hard and super difficult, like like

152
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: you still got to do your school work if you're

153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: enrolled in school, So it doesn't like excuse her from

154
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: not doing anything. But I think OP probably could have

155
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: handled it a little bit better.

156
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: Definitely, And also like I think the thing is like

157
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,680
