Не видел(а) его пару лет. Хотя, знаешь что скажу. Он умеет отрываться. Я после одной такой вылазки думал(а) не оправлюсь.
Olga, I would have translated "I'll tell you what, though..." as just "знаешь". It's just a filler phrase, normally set off by a comma, that shouldn't be taken literally. It just means "but you know...": "The first time I saw oysters, I thought wild horses wouldn't make me eat them! I'll tell you what, though, they are delicious!" (=but you know (what?)... they're delicious!)
Yes, I know what it means. In Russian we can say "хотя я тебе вот что скажу..." or, if you want to make it shorter "хотя, знаешь, что скажу" or "хотя, знаешь", basically it's all the same.
Oh cool, thank you. Good to know!
