I lived there for 13 years, I went to Russian school.ĭid they have WWE on TV in Latvia? Well, a little bit as I started getting older. But Latvia was part of the former Soviet Union, so 50 percent of the country is Russian. We’re talking about across the ocean.” Really far.
They think it’s Lafayette, and so they’re like, “Oh, I can drive over to Louisiana.” I’m like, “Um, no.
