Scott long is incredible!

Subscribed because Scott plugged this on Caliendocast. But besides that Scott is hilarious and has a great speaking voice. Also his Tony Romo impression is tops.

Donny is real ,

Documentary fun!

Love the podcast. Fun to hear about these weird and fun business successes and failures. Caught this when Scott plugged it on the Caliendocast. Keep doing this. Great to listen to. You guys have a good thing going together. Knowledge is power.

Funny and Informative

Loved hearing Scott Long on The Frank Caliendo Cast so decided to check our This Might Work. Interesting topics thus far with comedy built in. The most recent episode regarding baseball cards was easy to relate to as instead of baseball I collected hockey cards as a kid. Keep the episodes coming!
