Hello and welcome to episode 245 of Ab Talk. I am E.M. Petchnick here not as always for the second time in three weeks with

Jason from Benwets. So three episodes ago Jason was traveling in Asia. Two episodes ago,

Jason was still traveling in Asia, but found time to call in. And then this

week, Jason's home, but he's ill.

So filling in, not even filling in,

just going in an entirely different direction this week.

We've got Gabe Lee, who is nice enough to join us,

both standing in to help me get through much of the episode,

but also to take the episode in a very different direction to talk about what he works on for

flight air 24, which is all of our fantastic video content.

If you haven't watched a YouTube video on the Flight Raider 24 YouTube channel,

A, how dare you? And B, please do so because they're fantastic. So, Gabe, thanks so much for on a late evening

in Stockholm, going with the flow, I should say. Absolutely, no worries. great to be here and thanks for saying that about the videos.

As someone who is on both sides of the videos both saying yes go do this and yes I want to watch this. I am quite pleased with what you've been up to lately.

We've got a great show we're going to talk about some of the videos that Gaves worked on recently,

what he's been up to, and where we're going next with the Fla Radio 24 YouTube channel because there's some fascinating stuff that we would love to do as a podcast but requires visuals.

And so we have Gabe out there doing all of that great work.

And then we're going to chat with Ned Russell, the airline editor at Skift,

who is going to fill us in on the big news of the week

and discuss with us the Alaska Airlines proposed

merger with Hawaiian Airlines. We'll cover some news and then we'll be off to the

U-board. So let's dive in.
