and that's what scares me about getting older you start having those thoughts and you think they're normal and that's why I try to do things to keep my brain at least stealing young and that's why I did that stupid Dancing with the Stars so I go on the show and I meet my little partner Emma Emma Slater this is wonderful little British girls 24 years old yeah yeah just a love she's a dog but just British as she could be I mean to the point that sometimes she didn't understand our English like one every week we would do this thing called the song reveal and that's where she tell me what dance we're gonna do and what song we gonna dance to and one week seals aren't bail shields this week we're gonna dance the tango and we're dancing do beef burgers in paradise by Jimmy Buffet damn that sounds familiar I said Emma do you mean cheeseburgers in paradise by Jimmy Buffett and she goes well why would they call it Buffett I said what and she when you go out to eat you don't go to a bustin you go to a buffet I see well sweetheart that's food this is a human being so we start our rehearsals well the way the show works for those you haven't watched it every the first week everybody gets by everybody's safe well after the first week my son called me from college and said we'll just want to say thanks [Laughter] said what he thought might as well you almost got my butt kicked I said how do you figure well he works a little pizza joint where he goes to college well Dancing with the Stars was on Monday night well what else is on Monday night in the fall football he said there was 30 frat guys in there drinking beer like it's her last day on earth he's got Dancing with the Stars on the big-screen TV and one of the frat guys goes hey man can you turn that mess off and put on football and he said before I could stop my mouth the words shot out not to my dad's done dancing [Applause] yeah sorry about that one boy well then the next week Bill Nye the Science Guy was on our show and he hurt his knee and he got eliminated so I've been on two weeks and I'm thinking great I've been on as long as I thought I'd be on this is great you can kick me off now deer season starts in three weeks I'll be there for opening day well y'all kept voting [Laughter] and at first I was mad at you but then I started enjoying it because if you go back and watch the shows every time I told me in Emma they were just we were safe they would cut to the judges and they all had this look on her face like how is he still here by week five I was begging to be off that show I was literally like your watch those animal shows on a National Geographic Channel and I was that wounded gazelle at the back of the herd they were just kind of limping along you're like oh god the Cheetahs gonna get him it's gonna get him the Oh nightfall and the cheated run behind dammit where'd he go and at one point the ABC executives came and they said bill don't take this the wrong way but we didn't know you had this many fans to which I replied well apparently you've never dealt with rednecks well the first big elimination came with a belieber name was Christina Milian oh and she and her partner Mark had just gotten the first end of the season and that dance we had to do his little dance called the Quick Step and the Quick Step sucks basically though I ain't doing it no more the Quick Step is bass I said run from here to the airport as fast as you can and while you're running do some dance steps and we'll judge John well me and Emma got like three sevens well the way this show works at the end of the show all 12 couples are on the floor and they tell each one them they're safe till there's two couples left one stay and one's going how did the 13 weeks I was on that show me and Emma growing the last two couples eleven and one of those was a bye so we're standing there doing the show in is so melodramatic you know they go the lights goes bill and Emma you got three sevens did your fans thought enough to keep you on Christina and Martin you got the first tenth of the season did your fans filter enough to keep you on I think great we're done the announcer was Bill and Emma you're safe [Applause] what so we move on and we kept moving on well then the next one was Sascha and Snooki and in real life at that time Sascha was my partner Emma's boyfriend and so that week we'd do this dance call the jive I don't jive and I think we got like three sixes well but Sascha and Snooki got I got two 9s in an age so that awesome we're done so we're standard into the show and Tom Bergeron the host walks in between us and he goes we'll bill he goes I usually read the prompter at this point in the show but you've done TV why don't you read it I said whatever and I look in the camera and they start rolling up and I go bill and Emma you're safe oh my god are you kidding me and we recount because I don't think that's right it was so off the charts I looked at my wife and the arms I said this is wrong I should be eliminated deer seasons coming up and she's looking at me with this look like don't be an idiot just stand there oh are you kidding me she's digging this Oh every Monday she gets a new dress and she's on TV you don't want me bailing on this but I felt so bad for Snooki that I literally started to take two steps towards Tom Bergeron and say look eliminate me let her go on and as he's interviewing Snooki looks at me and goes I said but this is wrong and also I feel somebody grabbed my shirt and pull me back and it's Val the Russian guy and he goes bill this is about your journey don't interrupt it well Snooki's crying cuz she just got eliminated Emma's crying because her boyfriend just got eliminated I'm crying because I'm missing deer season and we kept going on well now we're a week away from the finals and we had to learn to dances in one week we'd learned to cha-cha way to learn the Argentine tango so we're in and I are in the dance rehearsal hall and were rehearsing the cha-cha and also animals bill can you do a cartwheel I said Emma I'm 58 yes I can do a cartwheel and I did one and see oh my god this is brilliant bill they'll love this we'll do the move we'll touch on in front of them you do the cartwheel they'll eat it up and I'm doing it I'm doing a cartwheel and I'm getting them really good at it then also my brain in my mouth got together one Hey hey Emma what if instead of a cartwheel what if I did a round off with a half twist and she goes can you do one and I said yes and my brain went No but I did it and then she goes oh my god this is I don't even know where I learned this stupid move but I did it they're gonna love this so we're rehearsing I'm doing the roundup for that do it I'm like what's going on well see let's do it one more time then we'll go on to the Argentine tango so we get to that move I do the round off with a half twist but this time when I landed instead landing with my knees bent I landed with my knees locked yeah and the bad knee went bye-bye it went sideways and I hit the ground and so we iced it down it kind of settled down just going to the Argentine tango it's slow and it won't hurt your knee that's it great I don't know if you know what the Argentine tango is but it is literally just sex to music oh it's just just rub and grind in your faces like this and I'm like oh Christ well this is gonna be really awkward I mean she's 24 my wife's at every show okay I'll do it for the sake of the show well I'm a team player so we start doing this dance well Emma was always about this big tricks you wanna do some big trick to impress the judges so she was right bill here's what I want you to do I want you to lay me down pick me up spin me out I'll spin back in you lift me up push me out I'll whip around your waist and you catch my legs and I went okay yeah you're gonna die because I don't know if you noticed or not but I'm not really good at this she goes don't worry I'll be there I'm like okay it's your life so we get to that part and I layer down pick her up I spun her out she spun back and I lifted her up I pushed her out who she whipped around my waist and I caught her legs and I went oh my god I'm getting this oh yeah there's gonna be billing ball dance studios across the Kerr so we keep your hearse was dance well she goes right let's do it one more time and we'll go home for the day because already been there like six hours so we got to that point I laid her down I picked her up I spun around she spun back in I lifted her up my god her - right here her legs were pointed straight up and I'm starting to get tired and I and I let her slip that much and then I took my step that I had to do and she shifted away to whip around me when she did I heard a noise come from my crotch that was somewhere between a scream and a tear I had torn my groin oh I hit and they're filming everything I'm on the ground grabbing my cross rolling around screaming Emma learned a whole bunch of new American cuss words and I have never felt pain like this in my life in fact fellas if you've never torn her groin allow me go home tonight take out your hunting knife and put it in the flame and let it get glowing red-hot and then just jab it right in your crotch that's kind of what I feel they had to call Gayle to come get me because I couldn't even walk this happened on a Friday we're shooting the show on Monday Saturday more and I called though him and I said sweetheart we're done I said I can't get out of bed cuz I just wanna make sure you're okay and I said I'm fine baby I said but there's no more dancing she goes well I got to call the producers I said we'll do what you got to do so she calls the producers well then the producers called me and they said well we'd like to bring our doctor over okay he's a doctor of pain management when I was in college we called him dr. feelgood yeah so Saturday morning I'm laying on my couch with an ice pack on my crotch they show up with producer as a camera crew this doctor and he starts exam he goes yeah you tie your groin I said I kind of figured I did I guess we're done honey goes numb what do you mean no because I'm gonna give you an injection I said you ain't sticking the needle anywhere near there Yeah right I'm 58 I got enough issues with as it is I don't need a needle being down no little pills gonna fix that so he gives me an injection of my thigh and the pain went bye-bye Monday morning took me two hours to get ready for this stupid show I was wrapped strapped tape shave gel you name wear pantyhose to hold it in place and we somehow got through the cha-cha and we got like two sixes and a seven and then I don't know what happened I don't know if I just had resigned myself to the fact that we were done and I didn't care anymore but we wouldn't to the Argentine tango and we just drilled it I mean it was a high of score we ever gotten got like two nines in an eight I think and and so we're staying there at the end of the show and I literally I'm standing like this cuz I can't put weight on my leg but this time we're up against Val and Elizabeth and they just gotten three Tim's a perfect score so we're stand there like this and I'm single bill and Emma you've had below average scores all sorry do we have to keep bringing that up really it's like your kid going through high school

toe-to-toe down Elizabeth you got three tens a perfect score did your fans vote enough to keep you on and I whispered in Emma's dresses sweet aren't we're done she was yeah I'm afraid so and I said

you know what you're right and we look in the camera they go bill and Emma you're in the finals oh my god what well now I'm convinced Gail's involved in this well yeah she can't just kill me outright
