I know, I know, I know. You've been waiting for this episode since Monday. It might be because when #Everybodyneedsabitofscienza is out it means it is Friday, but I like to think it is because you are as entertained as I am when listening to the Couple of the Decade Stevie Kim & Attilio Scienza. Don't you love it when he gets scolded by Stevie for tapping the table? Or when he sings and Stevie tries, unsuccessfully, to make him stop? Awwwww. They kinda remind me of my grandparents.. Yes, I said it, I finally said it, now I hope I won't get fired for basically calling them both.. aged? classical? mature? seasoned? LOVE YA XOXOXOXOXOXOMusical Guest: Sro, check him out -> @s-r-oSupported by: Vinitaly International Academy. Join VIA today! www.vinitalyinternational.com/?page_id=3107
