| 0:00.0 | Today's show is brought to you by sunbum.com. When I was scheduling today's conversation with |
| 0:08.5 | Rosemary Rhymer's Rice, she had to do it early in the week because she had a dermatology appointment |
| 0:14.2 | midweek to have some spots cut out and tested. My parents have had that same procedure done |
| 0:19.8 | fairly regularly for the past decade. I've |
| 0:22.5 | actually had it done starting in my early 30s. And that's because skin cancer is the most common |
| 0:28.3 | type of cancer in the U.S. but it is also treatable. And the National Foundation for Cancer Research |
| 0:34.3 | actually tells us that prevention is the best method. Practicing safe sunning |
| 0:40.0 | with a broad spectrum sunblock is key, and sunbum provides the best of the best. We even trust |
| 0:47.6 | the bum with our child because they have a specifically formulated sunscreen for children, |
| 0:53.1 | and they're even throwing in a free sample of it with all online orders. So I use the mineral products because it is the best |
| 1:00.2 | texture of any sunscreen that I've ever encountered. Super lightweight, zero slick greasiness, |

| 1:11.9 | epic product. So go to sunbum.com. If you want to get that free sample of the kids sunscreen with your |
| 1:17.5 | order, or you can pick up Sunbum at your local surf shop or Target or CVS, almost anywhere that you're |
| 1:24.3 | shopping. So trust the bum, pick up product, and learn more at sunbum.com. |
| 1:32.2 | And wavekey.com. Are you following Brad and his family during their residency at Nyama in the |
| 1:38.4 | Maldives? This past week, the swell has filled in and everyone is scoring. He's hosting a wave key teaching retreat, |
| 1:46.3 | which is obviously too late for any of us to participate in, but there's still plenty to gleam |
| 1:51.7 | from his Instagram account. On the first day of swell, he takes off on a head high left |
| 1:56.5 | with a slight air drop that doesn't interrupt his momentum at all. So he goes straight into a bottom turn |
| 2:02.6 | and then boom, into a top turn, continues to serve the wave. And when I first started doing wave key, |
