Tony Moschetto returns to the Acement to discuss UFOs with Scott, Ace and SCOTTOBER cohost Tom Stewart. Paranormal means "beyond normal explanation", so UFOs are definitely in the category. Tony's involvement with MUFON and Tom's personal experience made for a great discussion.

Customer Reviews
Belly Laughs and Bourbon
So happy I discovered this podcast! Love hearing comedians “talk shop” about how they began in stand up, the highs, the lows and all the hijinks in between. Scott and Ace do a great job of keeping it conversational and fun, plus their guests are a great assortment of seasoned and new local comedy talent which provides diverse perspectives on being a working comic. A fun, weekly listen and I’ve even learned a bit about bourbon thanks to their bourbon dates!
Simply great content!
Love listening to these two. Always great conversations and stories! If you want to just laugh out loud in your car, just put this on and listen!
Great podcast
Love listening to these guys! Feels like I’m in the room with them and their guest!
