And you can see why we've had these crashes and near misses the last four or five years. Free-for-all. Free-for-all. I just saw there was a big free-for-all at the Atlanta Airport, I think, yesterday. Oh, really? Yeah, on my favorite airline, Spirit Airline. Nice. I took a Spirit Airlines once. I mean, that is once.
And I was like, yeah, it's not my cup of tea. It's what is it? Twenty nine dollars for a ticket. Yeah. Well, I don't want to sound like a snob, but flying is not I. It was not enjoyable. And the airports are not enjoyable. And the stress of making a connection. Exactly. I hate I hate I hate that.
You know, I got on the plane just to finish in Palm Beach and I got my little app from the airline and it said, I had an hour connection and it said, you're going to be 30 minutes late. I couldn't know why we were boarding on time, right? But I guess it was air traffic.
And then you get on the thing and you connect with their internet and it says, wait a minute, you're only going to be 12 minutes late. And then you look at it, you shouldn't look at it at all. And then it says, you're going to be 20 minutes early. And then it says you're going to be 10 minutes late. And then you get there and you're on time. And then you sit there, right?
The taxing and you get in there and then you think, wait a minute, the A terminal is next to the B terminal. I can make it. And then all of a sudden you're halfway and you happen to look at the thing. It says, sorry, you're now at the D terminal. And then you go to the D terminal. You have to reverse your... It's just... They treat people like cattle, too. I don't know. I know they do a job.
They move millions of people per day without injury, and it's very accessible, but I think maybe it's too cheap. I don't know. The fares are too inexpensive. Yeah, well, I don't blame you, Victor. You've made this change in your life. 50 years I've been doing this, and I keep telling people I'm not going to do it anymore, and then My institution keeps saying, would you speak here?
Would you speak here? Would you speak here? And I found out, I just looked at my calendar. I'm going six times to the East Coast and Midwest. Yeah. I've had a lot of people. Can Victor come speak? No. Please. I confess I like being in my farm. Yeah. Well, I like doing Zooms. I see a lot of people. I don't mind leisurely driving over to the coast to work. I have a nice place to stay at Stanford.
Yeah. I love that. But I just do not want to get on a plane and fly to New York, Washington, Palm Beach, you name it. I can't take it either.

Yeah, you know, I never had allergies my whole life. And after I got that long COVID, I got really bad. So I'm in the nut allergies now and I'm in bee allergies. And there's a million bees 10 yards away in the blooming, beautiful orchard. And I go places I don't want to go, and all of a sudden, within 24 hours, I feel like I'm 40 again. I come back here, I start 18, dizzy and everything.
Yeah, yeah. I got to carry an EpiPen. I passed out. And when I woke up, it was, I don't know, 75 over 45 heartbeat. Blood pressure in 180 heartbeat. And these Salma people, it was two very nice Hispanic women. Maybe there was a third one. They came out and I was all covered with welts. And I said, I woke up and my wife called them. And I said, I think I'm okay. And they gave me one EpiPen.
And they said, you know, it's not doing the trick. You got to get an ambulance. And they gave me another one. And they gave me Singular. Then they gave me steroids. And they gave me Benadryl. Then they gave me Zyrtec. And I said, enough already. But whatever they did, my heart rate Went down and my blood pressure stabilized within three hours and all my welts disappeared.
And then I went to the allergist in a week and he said, you're a number 10 on bee sting and you got to have immunotherapy, Jack, where they inject you with bee therapy. And I said, how often of every 10 injections for the next three or four years does you have anaphylaxis? And they said, oh, it's not bad. Maybe one out of 10.
So, I said, well, if I do 40 or 50 a year, I'm going to have this for sure. Yes, but you won't die if you get stung. I said, I'll take my chances. Wow.
I know. I used to love bees. I thought, poor bees, go out and work. In fact, when it was a shady day and they weren't pollinating the plums, I would throw rocks at the hive. I'd say, get out there and work, you lazy bees. And now I see them. I said, get back in there. Don't attack me. There's a theory a guy told me in the ER.
I don't think that bees are attracted to people who have a discernible allergy as if you give off a scent or something. I think that's an old wife's tale.
Joy Reid lost her premiere extravaganza hit show.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Jamal Bowman, the fire alarm guy, the guy that was basically claiming that the Jewish community defeated him.
Well, I don't understand the logic of that. You're going to go from the frying pan into the fire. It doesn't make any sense. Jory Reed was very strange. I wrote a column about her once because she went on there with cornrows once. And she said, I'm going to be path. Essentially.
I'm not quoting her verbatim, but eventually she said this, that I'm going to be a path-breaking Africana Americana, and I'm going to wear my indigenous, and I don't like basically blonde-haired women, culturally appropriate, sort of like, you know, movie stars that have cornrows. And I thought, okay, that's legitimate. And the next thing I know, when I was channel surfing, she's got blonde hair.
She's dyed her hair blonde. I thought, you don't believe in cultural appropriation. So white people cannot wear black hairstyles, but you can dye your hair like you're some Viking? Be symmetrical. And then I realized that every once in a month, I just wanted to see what the left was saying. And I felt really bad. Her parents were immigrants. They were upper middle class.
