Created by and starring Rob, the series follows a NYC hipster-ish young man as he navigates life as a single male after a breakup.

When this kid took the dance floor at this wedding with a foxy lady, he showed all the men in the room how it’s done. This kid could be a coach on Dancing with the Stars, a contestant on America’s Got Talent, and still have plenty of left over time for the cougars.
