**John Coogan** (0:00)
You're watching TBPN.

**Jordi Hays** (0:02)
Today is Thursday, August 6th, 2026 We are live from the TBPN Altanome, the Temple of Technology, the Fortress of Finance, the Capital of Capital. Let me tell you about ramp.com. Time is money, save both, easy to use corporate cards, bill pay, accounting and a whole lot more, all in one place. We have to issue a correction. We take journalism extremely seriously here, as everyone knows. We got it wrong, folks, and we need to apologize to you, the viewer, the listener. We made a huge mistake yesterday on the show. We said that you could not surf on a lake. Apparently, that's not true. Sheboygan, Wisconsin is the freshwater surfing capital of the world.
We apologize for the egregious air, and we promise to do better in the future. Thanks to the listener that sent that in. It's very, very nice to have this corrected.
Maybe we got to go on a trip and see it for ourselves. I think you should be the judge, because this might just be a Sheboygan stand who doesn't really understand what true surfing means, and they're talking up a big game. I want to see some photos. I want to see some videos of freshwater surfing in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Because if people aren't getting barreled there, as you say, I don't know if I'm going to count it.

**Tyler** (1:24)
I have a video here. Okay, let's pull it up.

**Jordi Hays** (1:26)
Yeah, I want the Jordi Hays surf review. Does it count?
Is Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the freshwater surfing capital of the world? We do have other techniques. If good things come to those who wait. But we gotta get to the bottom of this first.

**Tyler** (1:42)
Just gotta be really flexible.

**Jordi Hays** (1:45)
Then Alex Marks and his buddy Steen are in for quite a day.

**John Coogan** (1:50)
You get that extra sense of satisfaction because you waited and put in your time.

**Tyler** (1:56)
You learn those lessons.

**Jordi Hays** (1:57)
Tyler was the one who said, I'm putting this on you, man. You were like, you can't surf on all that.

**Tyler** (2:02)
I think I said, I don't know.

**Nick Thompson** (2:03)
Fog is really surprising.

**Jordi Hays** (2:06)
Okay, let's see this. I want to see someone trying to say, okay, that's a full-size surfboard. This is legit.

**John Coogan** (2:12)
He should know. Hey, he's up.

**Jordi Hays** (2:13)
Alex has been surfing around Sheboygan since he was a freshman in high school.

**John Coogan** (2:16)
Okay.

**Tyler** (2:18)
Looks almost over his ankle.

**John Coogan** (2:21)
Yeah.

**Jordi Hays** (2:23)
It's not exactly mavericks or jaws or whatever.

**Nick Thompson** (2:27)
Yeah, I think my brother pushed me into my first wave and just, it was that.

**John Coogan** (2:31)
It was like, I want that.

**Jordi Hays** (2:32)
Okay, okay. I think this counts.

**Tyler** (2:35)
It counts.

**Jordi Hays** (2:35)
I think this counts.

**Tyler** (2:36)
Capital.

**Nick Thompson** (2:37)
I think this counts.

**Jordi Hays** (2:38)
Congratulations, everyone over in Sheboygan.

**Nick Thompson** (2:40)
On this day, the weather will eventually clear.

**Tyler** (2:42)
We'll have to make it out there at some point.

**Jordi Hays** (2:44)
We gotta make it. We gotta shred.

**Tyler** (2:45)
Gabe was over, Gabe in the chat was over on X saying, highlighting someone who's made a tinfoil hat, an undercover tinfoil hat. Let's pull this up.
Says, it all makes sense now. I have figured out why Jordi's been wearing a hat.

**Jordi Hays** (3:03)
Good merch line, potentially. Pre-tinfoil lined hat.

**Tyler** (3:08)
Just a foil lined baseball cap.

**Jordi Hays** (3:10)
We get a lot of hats in the mail from a lot of companies sending us stuff. I haven't seen a lot of tinfoil inside them though, but this might help in the future.

**Tyler** (3:18)
This could be the new meta.

**Jordi Hays** (3:19)
I wonder if it would actually make your AirPods not work. I have a feeling that it wouldn't matter.

**Tyler** (3:25)
But AirPods are definitely getting through. Palmer has this with the copper jacket.

**Ariane Gorin** (3:29)
The copper jacket, that's right.

**Jordi Hays** (3:31)
Yeah, no, but he wore it on Joe Rogan, talked about it and he was like, wasn't I telling you to get pants from that company? Get a full suit.

**Tyler** (3:39)
Yes, so I could drive in a Tesla.

**Jordi Hays** (3:41)
Yeah, it's so heavy. Yeah, oh, it's really heavy?

**Ariane Gorin** (3:45)
I don't know about that.

**Tyler** (3:46)
Maybe that's not true.

**Jordi Hays** (3:46)
Anyway, let me tell you about MongoDB. What's the only thing faster than the AI market? Your business on MongoDB. Don't just build AI, own the data platform.
