What did you say? Just to see what you'd say. What I said is, so I can get on Dancing with the Stars. Shut up. You did not say that. I did, 100%. Everybody laughed and thought that was funny. What people didn't see was 10 years before that, My mom's favorite show was Dancing with the Stars. Wow.

So imagine a little Eastern European immigrant woman, horrible life, watching this beautiful show with these beautiful dancers. Like if you called my house on a Monday when the show was on, my mom would answer the phone and go, like, bye, you call. I watch the show. Mm-hmm. My mom ended up getting ovarian cancer and she went to the hospital and she was there for a year.

My mom ended up getting ovarian cancer and she went to the hospital and she was there for a year.

And every Monday I would go to the hospital with the other women who had ovarian cancer and we'd all watch dancing. Wow. And one day my mom says to me, Robbie, you're so beautiful. Why not you be on show? And I say, without thinking about it, if they ever ask me, I'll do it for you. Wow. And my mom passes away. Ten years before I even had an inkling of being on TV.

Fast forward ten years later, I'm sitting in a room. They throw that question at me. First thing that comes to my mind. Fast forward another ten years. I'm going through this horrible time. I come out of it, fix myself, finally begin to think I have value in life again. Three days later, the producers of Dancing with the Stars ask me to be on the show. Oh, my gosh.

Like before they're finished asking me, I say yes.

I walk in. Wow. Meet the woman I'm going to marry. Oh, my God. And today I have this unbelievable life. I didn't create those dots. I believe life or a greater force or God, whatever your faith is, created those things. But it was up to me to connect the dots. And I think for anybody watching or listening, you have the power to connect those dots. Wow.

You have to have enough faith to believe it all connects, but you still got to get up every day, work your ass off, and make it happen.

Well, it's good to have a dream.
