We all love a man who’s been on ABC for his brilliant ideas. But even more, we love this man who started a website where you can find a free couch to sleep on anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, us Tango Divas prefer 500-count cotton, king-size beds and room service. So, Daniel, can you scoot over, and we like our eggs scrambled……
