And I just didn't want to lie.
And I told him, look, I have something to tell you.
I'm going to come tomorrow's school and kind of share it with you.
So I went the next day, and it was a much bigger deal than I expected.
All the different deans were sitting there, the computer science dean, the engineering dean.
They'd been racking their brain the whole night, stayed up all night trying to figure out what's the problem.
And so I'm like, this is my opportunity to make it a tech talk as opposed to an interrogation and pull out the whiteboard and explain all the different problems and all the systems they had and how I hacked into it and really like pulled out all the stops and all the charisma to kind of try to impress them.
And they were really impressed.
So impressed and so kind of in the element of the technical discussion that I'm like, all right, now that I've explained it, I'm headed home.
I'll see you guys later.
And I opened the door.
I was like, wait, where are you going?
Like, we got to deal with you.
You just did this thing to our school.
You just hacked into the school.
