immediately know what that was for I immediately I immediately knew I immediately knew and I turned around and and there he was and uh uh very nice uh young fellow maybe maybe 20s 30s but I just I just immediately was like I had to tell you you are the first and then it happened one or two other times while it was in New York City and I thought it's spreading there was talk of gerbils you're reigniting that rumor I bet Richard you're really happy I know well maybe the brass ring will be to get Richard Gere to yell at you in public you know there's only one person angrier than Richard Gere right now and that's the gerbil okay he's still living gerbil finally oh yeah no these dribbles live a long time I would have thought that the whole thing itself would have killed him no no no oh no no no they don't suffocate no no lots of nutrients up there anyway and so uh no somewhere there's a gerbil with a uh I think we know where it is no no he's gone he's long gone okay he burrowed out yeah he's constantly texting Richard Gere and Richard Gere isn't returning his test oh he's ghosting yeah he's ghosting the gerbil and the gerbil's like what the it's a broken heart situation as well well the turbo also was kind of happy that I put this behind me there was a time where he tried to I think he was on like a VH1 reality show for a little bit oh yeah and he was hanging around with you know uh you know some like a child star and um Corey Feldman yeah exactly and but he's now he finally put it behind him and then now this is reignited he put it behind him huh all right come on you're better than that that's the that's the bar come on you just hit the bar grow up Sona H mosesian how dare you you keep inserting false middle initiatives into peoples so if someone comes up to us and
