Placed In Bad Neighborhoods

He revealed that some nights get very rough and that they barely get enough sleep. He complains about the hotels that they are kept in, revealing that. “They’re in bad neighborhoods, they’re loud, they’ve got bedbugs, and there have been stabbings in the parking lot.” Obviously, these are not places where one could get a sound sleep, especially after knowing about all the things that have occurred.

Once A Year

He further explained his experience, “You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that’s it. You’re not going to fall out of the sky.” There is a notion that every plane gets struck by lightning at least once a year. So you have to make sure that the plane you are traveling in does not get unlucky while you are on board. We sincerely hope that this does not frighten you too much…
