| 0:00.0 | Florence Marine X is with us again today. I introduced this partnership last week and I've had some |
| 0:08.2 | really nice notes from some of you who already loved the brand and their gear. And then a lot of people |
| 0:14.6 | who have been following the brand for the past year but just made their first purchases after |
| 0:19.9 | hearing last week's show. |
| 0:21.7 | If you have been curious about John John's project, now is the time to dive in because they |
| 0:27.0 | are offering our listeners 20% off your entire purchase, but it's only to introduce this |

| 1:17.3 | UFP protection is best in class. For surfing, for fishing, it has a built-in gator in addition |
