Out of all the episodes I have listened to, this ones my favorite so far. Love that knowledgeable, no bull shit attitude, I could listen to this all day.
When you and Rob took the time to call Jacob Foutz was so awesome and kind and thoughtful!!!! Chris and your wife and Rob might’ve just changed Jacobs life in such a positive way. What an amazing “Good Deed!” ❤️ 🎣
I cannot agree more! An he just gained a bunch of new subscribers!
I am not a huge fan of Rob but I always respected his hustle and knowelege anytime he drops it on his channel or on other platforms. This is probably my favorite episode of the podcast!
This was such a great episode. The best yet! For the people hating on Rob, YIKES!!! Who is the CEO/Owner of Strike King, Diawa, Shimano, etc. you don’t buy any products because you like the owner, you buy products because they work as intended, for a value you are willing to spend and are reliable. All CEOs think that way…He was just the one that had the wherewithal to get on camera and say it. Googan Bandito Bug and Lunker Log for life!
Ok I went from not liking Rob, to respecting him, to now liking him! This video was one of your best!
Go watch his videos youll go right back to not liking him.
I love the attitude of Rob and the Googans. They let the success speak for itself. Rob takes the hate and uses it as fuel. Amazing podcast!
learned more in this conversation than any podcast I have listened too. Good on Zald's wife for asking the tough questions. Well done guys, I hope this gets tons of views.
Finally getting to finish this today. Listening to a mentor like Rob gets me fired up. Give life a full send that call is coming for you!
Awesome!! Love this group! So cool to reach out Jacob. Getting the call from Rob can completely change his life!
Jacob has everyone’s attention right now. Rooting for him
@@Zaldaingerous I agree with you, I took it as a pity message. Not a bad guy, but he missed the boat by his own admittance. BUT everyone loves a redemption story, I hope he can use this opportunity and capitalize.
Listening to Rob has absolutely changed my mind about Googan. I enjoy his candid nature very much right up my alley. Great conversation Chris and Trait! I have so much to learn to boost my own channel lol
So many people still unfairly hate Googan. Their products may be pricey, but they are legit top quality, and actually work! I'm an old bastard, but the Googan Squad as a whole, and as individuals are extremely entertaining and fun (which is what fishing should be all about!) Also, just subscribed to you!
He so arrogant it is just easy to hate them.
I Love the principles rob puts into practice with business sense. Very structured and savvy. Makes me think of the Real estate game and capitalizing with investments. Delayed gratification is difficult but the compounding effect he learned from you tube growth definitely started the ball rolling.
I have never owned a googan bait or bass mafia. I would actually talk bad about any googan squad TH-camr. Rob has changed my mind. One of the best podcast ever!!! Thank You very much!
They make a cheap product in China, I will always go with American made brands here Zoom, Yum, Yamamoto, etc
What he said is so true though, they catch fish. I've caught so many on their soft plastics. And crank baits. They are cheap and break often but I can't deny they work
@@rickywebre1350 Zoom, Yum, Yamamoto also catch fish or they don’t? Please buy product made in US, this clown and anti-patriot hiring people in China.
@@WarEagleTheBestas you make the comment on your Chinese made phone. We have actually been shifting our manufacturing to America slowly. Not a fast process
Jon B could be the new Jeremy Wade if he committed to it. I loved his travel fishing videos.
Gotta give David Fritts some credits for being any incredible Crankbait designer and pro angler. I am sure there are others but he instantly came to mind.
For sure. A-Mart was also a good designer on the jig side. Wish he would have been able to design on the hardbait side
Kenta Kimura is a great designer too
Gotta include KVD in the top of lure development category as well . He literally created his own Strike King Lures brand name .
Its working just told my wife we need to switch to Black Rifle and Battle Born. We both love you guys and what you do. Want to support you and the companies you represent. Got into bass fishing 3 years ago but learning every trip.
Wow, what an awesome episode I sure learned a few things by listening to all the advice and business views from all. I have used many Googan Lures in the past few years mainly the plastics but was not aware of all the behind closed doors issues and grinding. So, from an Army Vet here just like Rob and fishing bass tournaments, thanks for such an awesome podcast!!!
Honest and open viewpoint on the fishing industry. There are those social media personalities in fishing that preach about what’s wrong in the industry and that they’re somehow morally superior to other anglers. But when you look at who they advertise for and let sponsor their videos they are as much part of cashing in on that part of the industry that they’re complaining about. It’s interesting to hear what all goes on behind the scenes that most of us never hear about.
I used to hate Googan I thought they were a bunch of entitled brats until I looked into them and seen they built themselves from the ground up and I respect the hell out of that!
Y’all’s best podcast yet. So insightful. 🤝
@Zaldaingerous amazing episode! I do wish you or Rob would’ve mentioned Matt Allan and Tim Little with @TacticalBassin for creating fishing lures in the industry that actually perform and are innovative. Thank you for all you and your wife do and I honestly see you as the future of bass fishing and I’m grateful for your contributions!!!!
Appreciate that Thomas 🙏 & Tactical was def pioneer in how they do things in the TH-cam / How To / Product space
@@Zaldaingerous thank you also replying to all of your commenters in your videos. I’m very excited to see you leading the way with bass fishing and I’ll be one of many saying “I knew Chris Zaldain was going to make it huge!” Your video content is killer and you’re truly inspiring to me here in Northern Wisconsin and you’re always welcome to come fish with me “Up Nort”
I agree with your comment, however TacticalBassin seems to make it a point to to never mention Googan in their videos. I've asked them in their comments numerous times and they never reply
@@Zaldaingerous they have the algorithm dialed in and they're bringing the goods. Their format is top notch. Their experience really shows through. I'm not sure about what lures they designed, other than patterns an a rig configuration, and wakebait. But they know what baits really work consistently.
Burrito, their a rig configuration, UnderSpins, wake baits, ATV CRANKS... CHIMERA SHAD, MAGDRAFT, S-WAVER..... , Matt lures bluegills , JERKBAIT-UNDERWATER FOOTAGE,
THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING MANY BEGINNING BASS ANGLERS OVER CONFIDENT BECAUSE THEY DID ALL THE WORK, AND THE FAN'S GOT TO HAVE ALL THE FUN.
@@not2intoutube that's not true. They mentioned Googan Neds baits with rattle. I'm sure that's not the only thing.
This dude is SO the guy that needs to be the CEO of competitive bass fishing. He's like the Honey Badger😂. He would turn tournament bass fishing into an actual legitimate sport. Guys like Duckett are the reason it's suffering. This guy Rob is a total DB, but he's knows his stuff! He's tapped into the future. Good job Chris and Trait.
Lol
Why is he a DB, is it because he is smarter than you?
@@LonestarPanFishing
No... because he acts like a DB. 😝
That's awesome that Robert called him, gave him great advice
One of the most enjoyable podcasts yet. Could listen to Rob a few more hours, he gets it and doesn’t suffer fools. Love the call to Foutz. Seen his video and was disheartening to hear, hope someone steps in to help him down the correct path. I’m older, never watched the Googen videos because of my misconceptions, now I’m going too. Keep up the great work Trait and Chris….
Wow! Learned a lot about bass fishing business from your discussion with Robert. Great you had him on for this open discussion. He is definitely an entrepreneur! His history of success demonstrates what your discussion covered full of truth.
That call was cool. I will be on the look out for the Foutz Flutter spoon.
That was Awesome of you guys to reach out to Jacob! You just filled his tank!
Rob is the man . I read his book when it came out and she'd a brand new light on him. I love how he aims to go at the haters and strives to prove them dead wrong. Cut throat is a great description of Rob. Some of the baits are great some are shit but all in all the googans have done a great job. Let the haters hate.
Dude I lived in Weatherford/Dfw Tx while Rob was coming up and followed the channel. I love the drive man! Very inspirational. Wholesome, honest content filled with information is what catches people!
I live just east of you 😉
I'm in Weatherford, tx. Im 44 and I got addicted to Googan videos because they were all googans (until they added lfg), don't get me wrong I can catch them but I'm a googan. Think about this, when you were a kid, did you watch Bill dance and Jimmy Houston to see them use the same spinnerbaits and crankbait or did you watch to see if Bill would set the hook more then 5 second after you saw it on TV, or did you watch Jimmy to hear him talk and kiss fish wearing a black leather jacket. I'll be honest, millikens videos teach a lot so I watch his vids to learn, but I watch the googan guys all for different reasons. I think it's been cool watching how they each have evolved. Apbassin videos are better than ever right now. I mean I can catch bass so show me some GTs and big Lakers, show me how to kill chicken and make bows and put a hot cubana woman in a bikini on your boat and guess what, IM watching. I think y'all get my point. Sorry for the rant but it drives me crazy when hear people talk bad about them. All these 40 year old guys be jealous as shiiiitte.
What a interview, this kept me sitting here for the 2 hrs. I can say it's the first u-tube of 2 hrs that I have ever watched. Now I want to go find the early fishing show to help me learn
The amount of Gold in this one!!! I'm listening!!!
I literally got goosebumps when Rob called Jacob and offered him some help. Outstanding. Once again, Zaldangerous knocks it out of the park!!!
Jacob just got the social media hook up. Sounds like nobody else in the industry bothered to actually make a real difference other than throwing a bone of empty sentiments and condolences. When they're actually just taking advantage of the timing and algorithms.
I really hope Rob keeps a presence in the bass fishing industry. Independent thinking entrepreneurs are sorely needed to make it as resilient as possible. Because the way things are going now really portrays the actual costs of exclusivity that ends up hurting those who enjoy it the most.
I'm stoked to see what's coming up. Great episode!
This is a great episode. Love the back side of the sport no one wants to talk about.
TONS of good "insider" info in this one .. and the call to Jacob was outstanding. Keep on cranking out the content!
Bandito bug is by far one of the best bass catching soft baits produced in recent history, of course the Senko is awesome but the bandito bug is a confidence bait for many many people!
Blue baby bandito BBB BABY 🎉
I had one of the first GoPro fishing videos on TH-cam in 2008. Where I focused on my life and other stuff Rob went for it because he had the vision to see what was ahead of him. Thinking of the contrast between his moves and mine is enlightening. Doesn’t matter who was there first. Matters what ya do with it when you’re there.
Awesome video, guys. I enjoyed looking back on the history of Googan Squad. Your podcast is really hitting the mark for good content. Would like to see you getting ready for next season more. Thanks
I’m heading to rig my boat in a week & for a bunch of biz meetings etc and that will be the first of the “getting ready for next season” stuff
put Jon B on again. He been traveling alot again.. loved your podcast with him@@Zaldaingerous
Excellent episode! Rob is 1000x more informative than anyone else in the industry because they're too focused on politics and entitlements.
Him and Milliken
@@jddarby007 Miliken? How so?
@@jddarby007 Miliken is always harping about FFS and Randy Blaukat. Like Randy's living rent free in Ben's head. For at least a year before Randy finally mentioned Ben's attempts at discrediting him a couple days ago.
Also Ben is always trying to equivocate the manufacturing of fishing tackle in China. Not mentioning how China controlled what supplies would be available and which would not before during and after COVID.
It's really creepy to know considering I've communicated with him directly regarding the topic of Chinas influence on the tackle industry including our moral and logistical obligations as Americans.
@@secretbassrigsDude, this channel, Miliken Fishing, and Justin Royal are my top 3 favorites that I keep up with every video! I'm just saying, 6th Sense is absolutely crushing the game! And I don't think Randy is living in Ben's head at all! I just think that Randy is one of the most vocal and opinionated about his disdain for FFS, where as Ben is the exact opposite, so it only makes sense that he would mention him!
Wow Rob is so correct on his topics I tried the bandito bug a couple years ago and caught more big bass on the ca Delta than Burkley baits my fishing buddies have switched over to Googan baits also love you pod cast Chris
Ok, one of the best Podcasts you guys have put out to date.. don’t get me wrong all the other’s were great! But having Rob opening up and talking then offering to help Jacob was just awesome. I can relate to Rob on a lot of things he talked about both personally and professionally. Gained a lot of respect for him 👍👍.
Been a googan fan sence the 1st soft plastics ...i. ready 4 the unfilterd series
Finally finished watching this over 3 days! Great drop, Rob is on it!! That is some mind blowing knowledge👊👊 Googan product rocks, most bass fisherman are stingy old dudes🤷♂️ that don’t get it! A-mart was an awesome bait designer as well🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thats was a lot to take in on this video 💯. I have to say, Rob that was awesome of you to reach out to help a man, help him self, thats was awesome to see Rob. Thanks for video Z it was a good one imo🤝.
Best episode so far 🫡 Been a follower of Rob since his YT inception. Seeing his success was motivation for me to start my channel back in 2018 💪 keep up the good work 🎣
Bass union after I watched Ben millikens last video I said I’m don’t buying berkely and will start invert in bass union jigs love y’all’s stuff keep it up
@@PHATBASSASSASSIN appreciate ya man!
@@BassUnion yes sir!
Love this podcast! Rob is awesome, always keeping it reel. Would be cool to see Rob make some moves on the saltwater game
Rob is the only guy from the original Googan’s that I like. The other guys are stomach churning to follow.
We joined the Army within a year from each other and had similar careers. I uniquely support him because of how he rebounded from his service! Honestly most guys our age hit their peak in the military or come out broken.
Congrats brother, keep pushing forward! Great episode, growing daily!
They're just kids. Well. ... Maybe not just kids.... TH-cam kids. ... I'm having trouble digesting Miliken's spaztic highs and lows but mostly his insincerity to put it politely. But I dont watch their channels either. I do buy Googans Neds sometimes.
I think Rob is a smart businessman and not catering to the 5% of the fishing industry is great. The formation of the Googans was basically a way to make sure they weren't undercutting each other on sponsorships.
Fighting back against the entitled attitudes in the industry is really good for the industry too.
Rob has balls and is definitely a patriot. The industry could use a lot more like him.
I wouldn't say "most" in regards to vets not doing anything with their lives after serving. The opportunities are much greater.
The most honest opinion on the "professional" fishing industry.
Great podcast. Rob is a great mentor for anyone that wants to make it. He is proof that you have to go for it and it won't be handed to you.
As Steve Jobs said when he started.... " Do not assume those corporate big shots are smarter than you.".. Great Show.... All this can be applied to any industry ... Rob keep plowing forward !
Great pod cast. Lots of great knowledge shared for those who want to be in the You Tube community. I need to get off my butt and put some of my content to use!!
Rob is awesome to listen to. I’ve learned alot listening. As a kayak bass competitor in a growing kayaking scene, and launching a TH-cam channel, Id give anything to have a day in the boat with him. I’ve literally worked my fingers to the bone for over 35 years, just to be able to do more of what I love (aside from paying bills of course). My hands are scarred and calloused, fingers always sore or wrapped in bandaids. I just want to fish. It’s my passion, it’s what I do. To get a chance to sit and learn from guys like Rob, Chris, to learn how to change my work focus from building things from steel, to doing what I love, wouldn’t seem so impossible in today’s economy and marketing changes. Fishing the Hobie Series in 2024, maybe I can be fortunate and meet someone like this. This is the “juice” that I wanted to hear,
Same here, construction welder for over 35 years, and can't wait to hit the pond everyday..!
With all that said about the hard baits prior to release not only sparks my curiosity of future videos about the early days of googan but also what it and bassmafia have in the works. Can't wait to see you come up with
I am glad I came across this video. I enjoyed listening to Rob and you guys talk. There is so much knowledge shared in this video that I feel I can use to help me grow my channel witch is fairly new outdoors channel and I am just starting to take it seriously. Thank you.
So informative and to the point. I have a lot I still want to accomplish and this gives me a new drive.
Who this opened my eyes !! Can’t wait to hear the googan story unfold! I personally thought things were the other way around with that other company but it really makes sense. I personally have not used googan rods just due to the feel of it being more of a teen , kid brand . I am excited to see bass mafia take off !
I remember the lunkertv daily vlog era. Really got me back in to fishing!
Rob. F the haters. Keep pushing the pile and grab folks like Jacob. Show them the “new” ropes and letm see if they can climb. Jacob will not let you down 👍🏼💪😎
Been a LunkersTv fan since around 30k and Been a Googan Fan from the beginning. I've caught *A LOT* of hate for it but I know what i signed up for lol. I'm *REALLY* looking forward to the Googan Unfiltered series.
that's a pretty cool gesture on all your parts to support Jacob! well done, good pod as usual.
Great show . I love how intense rob is , have enjoyed him for a long time . Right or wrong , he is going to give it all he has . Ive always thought you had that same hardworking attitude . Also its don't fill like yall are working your ass off even though yall are . " Take something very hard to do , do it and make it look easy " That's the best way to do any job . Thanks for all that your team does.
Thanks Eric! He’s intense but I’d rather work with someone who is intense and engaged vs the opposite. You always know how he really feels ha
Awesome video! The best yet guest yet! I like Robert’s attitude, I know it’s a lot like mine, I tell it like it is! I think it’s a gift, cause there’s so much bull out there, I just have to stand up against it. Robert’s a relief to listen too. That’s why I like Trait so much she tells it like it is! I’m proud of her! Just think when Chris opens up what the views will be! LOL. I like Chris a lot and his fishing videos, he’s my kind of fisherman, he’s taught me a lot, and I’m 69 yrs old, and caught my 1st bass 3 1/2 lb, at 15 yrs old and still have the fever like that day. That was a great thing you did for Jacob, Your a real person, I’m proud of you! I got a bad taste in my mouth too know the feeling, I was a co-angler in FLW, and got out right before they went under, best thing that ever happened! Unfortunately I went with B.A.S.S. last year and the same thing, I made state in Tennessee and never seen so much cheating! I’m fishing in a couple of local leagues and forget the rest. Keep the faith! 👍🥸🙏
I first started watching fishing videos with Gene, Rat, and Rob(plus I'm a veteran and some of the stories about you trying to cope with the demons you have)eventually the Googan Squad(Larry the Bass, in a kiddie pool out back trying to survive) Great videos. And Chris an awesome job keep doing what you are doing and you will go far. Having a business minded wife really helps...
This podcast changed my mind about Googan. Great listen
How about getting Ben Milliken on the podcast, i know there is difference between you guys but, i think it would be a great show. Sorry for your loss of your mother, i lost my mother Friday, she also had 2 different cancers although thats not what she passed from. Its really difficult right now but im trying
I’m sorry to hear that. Stay strong brother. Sending prayer for you and your family
I don't like Rob at all but he's earned some respect from me after listening to this.
definetly need more episodes like this!love it!
Best single podcast episode ever about Bass fishing! This guy is the living example of the guy Dana White talks about on some shorts when he says. (Paraphrased) If you are young and have an ounce of beast mode killer instincts, the country is weak as puppy piss so the sky’s the limit.
Zaldain has always been one of my top guys so I'm sure this was good business decision for both parties. Never forget the Guntersville tournament with the jigging spoon which almost pulled him out the win!
Really enjoyed this video. Have watched Rob for a long time and know he has a great business mind but loved listening to him talk about the business side of things! Thanks for sharing!!!! Also, ya'll have great insight into business also.
Waiting on part 2 of this podcast !!!!
I am 56 , I love y’all’s shows there awesome, Thank God, I don’t have to try to learn how to make money by doing you tuber to make money fishing elites, my 13 year old grandson works on my phone all the time, I had a brain aneurysm, but I am still around and fish Pickwick, good luck to Jacob, maybe Rob will help him, thanks again and I learned alot in this video!!
The video title just changed while i was watching the video. That's cool that it can update live like that. Great episode!
lol Rob encouraged a title change so we met in the middle…
I have never been a big user of Googan Baits with the exception of the Bandito Bug which is a great bait. Great video, good information. This is information that 99% of people are not aware of and wonder why the are not successful. If they listen to guys like you they would realize the potential. You have to work your ass off, just catching fish means very little.
I use googan baits because of Scott Martin and DC fishing
I hope Bass Mafia/Googan can excel with amazing products and grow. I fear that a cut-throat attitude in the market may get in the way of what the ultimate goal is for the consumer. We just want to catch fish. Lures that work, and tools that make it easier/more enjoyable. I hope the company keeps that balance and doesn't spiral out of control.
Great video. Great insight on both the fishing industry and the social media aspect.
When it comes to Googan, I played for the other team.
I watched the Jon B pod and that put a crack I my prejudice.
Now this drop - and I find myself no longer a hater.
No small effect you two.
I'm so new here that the paint is still wet. I enjoy the whole concept.
I'm thinking that someone will pick this up. Maybe Andrew will find a slot. The story is the hookset,
I think the Tool in the Lake Fork swimbait was justice to the whole atmosphere.
So thanks for opening my eyes a bit. I'll start giving them a fair shake
I actually gained respect for Rob by watching this episode. Unlike most, I respect Milliken & Googan, as they have both excelled outside of the box. I’d like to hear the story from Rob about the hard bait prototype story in full. Personally 6th Sense hard baits seem to catch more fish than Googan’s, but that Bandito bug was a banger for sure.
Exactly 100%
I can agree. But I've never had a googan crankbait split in half from the heat. I like Milliken alot. Casey is trash
All the googan plastics are awesome!
Loved the show tons of gems in here. Cliff pace makes a great bait. Black label balsa is 🔥🔥
It’s crazy that your sitting here talking about the ad space. I have consumed fishing content for a long time. I literally ask myself all the time which product I should invest in. I learned a long time ago to stop watching fishing ads on the tv show during tournaments or the magazines because I would end up buying junk! It wasn’t until I listened to my son who is 21 and started watching TH-cam content that I could see the products being used and started to buy better products!
Also rob that “feed call” was on point👌🏽
Telling a story is the most important part that is the most true. That is what most TH-cam fisherman can’t get right. I don’t get it right either but I’m trying
this was a very good podcast. Rob surprised me. I hope googan squad does smash it next year!
Ive always been a huge fan of @LunkersTV .... Rob is a dude with vision and plans and just flat out executes the plans! I admire his drive man for real... its impressive! The best of future for you Rob, I look foward to continue supporting you. And my fangirl side of me has to say itd be a blast to fish with you and lfg one day😂
We started doing trips 2 years before my dad passed and have kept it going
David Fritts has built a ton of amazing baits and had a great career
Yup, he was one of the best angler / bait designers
Idk how I never knew Chris’ mom is Filipino. My grandparents on my mothers side are from the Philippines. So I’m guessing my Filipino side is why I can relate to Chris. Good to know!
So cool!!! Great story overall and love calling Jacob with some advice live!
I met Rob earlyyyyy on. Jon B and myself were on here pretty early 2008-2009 days when he was j0j0barz33. What Rob and all those guys did was exactly fill the void. They executed perfectly. They will go down as the OG of the fishing TH-cam community when this thing really blew up. I love this un-edited, un-blurped real content from Rob. Hate this guy or not, he built an empire. Much love Rob and much love Chris and Trait for this podcast. Good stuff.
Chris wears the pants Trait just picks em out in the morning!
Lololol true
Im pumped for a googan revival. I bought in because it was relatable. But then i got kinda disenfranchised when I saw the googans not even even using their own stuff
I REMEMBER Everyone bashing you on tff and that you were ex military and you had PTSD crazy how big you have grown man
Another insightful podcast and Trait is a pitbull. I watched Rob, Jon and Andrew before they blew up. Then they blew up and threw there channels I found Millikan and 6 Sense. And theses 2 companies were the 2 new up starts in the industry. I do remember Milliken cutting both 6 Sense and the Googan brand hard baits in half. They were both very similar outside and inside. And the way the video framed Googan Squad as basically bait stealers. I did not see anything from the Googans so I sided with 6 Sense and pulled away from the Googan brand. And of late started watching JonB again. And if it was not for the Bilge podcast that has turned me around on the Googan Brand.
I wonder if that’s the company he was referring to
@@jmccOutdoorsit most certainly was!
Keep cranking boys
🤘🏽
I have never realized (1 ) company’s business with the fishing industries was such of a challenging effort ( make as many lures as you can that work. I’ll buy those and take the fishing soon .
Rob's YT style has always been a bit to all over the place for me. One minute he's flipping storage units, the next he's hunting with a gold AR, its like ok guy we get it you're busy. I will say for this format its great to hear him talk about business and the absolute hustle it took to make Googan the brand it is today.
This podcast just inspired me to start to make change in the freestyle BMX industry. There are so many parallels and BMX is SO far behind.
Thank you
When will the "Unfiltered" podcast start rolling out @lunkerstv ?
To just continue with Rob's honesty. Even with all the success you've had, Chris, and all the connections you've built recently, it seems you're still finding it hard to grow on YT. I think that just speaks to a point made in this pod that the industry aint getting much bigger! It's time for some HUGE changes.
Love the googan soft plastics. As far as the squad gos some I like some not so much but same gos for pros. Everyone has that go to bait when the bites tuff, for me it’s the green pumpkin bandito bug! Yes it’s not the most durable but I don’t care! I’m catching fish. I also use it for trailers on a few different lures. Great podcast thanks
