It was in rubles, but I think at the time it was close to probably 25 bucks a game. Okay. Yeah.
For me at that time, 25 rubles, which was approximately five bucks if I'm doing this right, not in the Western places, but the three of us could go out to a Georgian restaurant, eat Hachaporti, split a bottle of vodka, get a couple of chickens, maybe a thing of beans, the best bread you've ever had. And we'd sit there and get completely...
completely fucking hammered and eat do you guys know what hot chiporty is no georgian food it centers around this thing called hot chiporty which is basically like this bread with these three kinds of georgian cheeses sort of like fried into it with an egg fried over the top like then you can put these russian beans on it i mean it's bonkers good for five bucks three four people eat and drink as much as you want so for 25 bucks yeah not bad
You know, because I was 20 years old, my buddies were all Russian teenagers and people in their young 20s. And so to be like the big spender, like, come on, I got you. It was so, so crazy to be able to do that.
I mean, it was a lot of years. When I was in Russia, Harvard has a graduate school.
To go to graduate school. To go to graduate school, even though I never went to college. I didn't even know one could do that. Me neither. But then you go back to Russia, but this time as a Harvard student, which is a totally different thing. And that was an extraordinary thing, too. But they do these showcases and stuff. And I got an agent. So you have a master's from Harvard. Yeah.
If I could bring in like a group of people that could tell you stories of how big of a, like a colossal fuck up. I love this.
I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're Will Hunting.
My best friends were from South Boston. My friend John Davis Sparky just passed this year. He OD'd. Fucking greatest guy. Played baseball with him. But this group from South, he took me to Harvard to audition. They're all waiting outside. They're like ripping lines in the car. The craziest group of them. Yeah.
You know, he's like, wait, he's like, did you get in? I go in there and I do this audition. They told me in the room, they saw me in Russia. They're like, come back. It really is Goodwill, honey. He's like a janitor.
It was fucking nuts. I remember exactly where I was calling my mom on Sparky's phone. She couldn't believe it. But I met my, I met my wife, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You met her at Harvard? No, she was an ICU trauma nurse in DC. I met her the day I got home from Russia. Yeah. What a story.
For a few years in the beginning, there was definitely the whole ugly thing that I was telling you about where I was like, okay, this is not going to happen.
Yeah, with like Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Lizzie Kaplan. And it was the people that had done Friends. And it was supposed to be the one. Jimmy Burroughs took us on the private jet.
The Class. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I remember it was Chris Klein and James Van Der Beek, I think, going into rooms to test with those guys. It was like, this is a total fucking joke. Look at you, you fucking charlatan, you ugly little joke. In the beginning, it was really hard. It was It was just no, no, no, no, no for years, nothing. Couldn't make money. I was like selling weed. I was bouncing.
I was doing whatever the fuck I could. But I'd come home feeling sorry for myself. And my wife was working at these major trauma centers around the country being like, never saying it. Right.
Yeah, dog. And she would never say that. But she could just do it by like, come here, I got you. And I'm like, I'm crying on her chest. What did you do today?
You know, like you saw fuck. Yeah.
bro right and like literally like an angel i'm upset about this bullshit yeah but i will say man through that time it was really genuinely total gratitude it was an influx of positivity it was like you're getting really close and there was no end game so you haven't been arrested in a while yeah i mean i got in trouble one more time pretty bad in 2009 that's when everything kind of shifted for me oh wow after you've been working that's when i stopped drinking and yeah yeah you don't drink i do not for how long
2009.
No, it was the anger thing. Just wrong dog in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
