AMI's Mustache Interviews

The American Mustache Institute's award winning collection of in-depth celebrity and quasi-celebrity interviews

Brit Miller – St. Louis Rams

On December 1, 2011, by AMI Staff

St. Louis Rams fullback Brit Miller — no, not this creepy Britt Miller – is not a household name outside of the corridor between the University of Illinois at Champagne and St. Louis. But throughout his life, he’s been committed to maintaining a sexually dynamic Mustached American lifestyle. Does that mean he wears a luxurious [...]

Brett McKay of the ArtOfManliness

On December 1, 2011, by AMI Staff

Welcome to another installment of the American Mustache Institute’s Peabody Award winning Mustache Interview with ArtOfManliness founder Brett McKay. In a well-overdo discussion between the most manly of organizations that perhaps caused an immaculate impregnation of Kim Kardashian, McKay introduces the Mustached American community to the content of the ArtOfManliness and we discuss the most [...]

Cleveland Brown of FOX Television’s “The Cleveland Show”

On November 16, 2011, by AMI Staff

With the Fall television season in full swing, the American Mustache Institute continues its award winning Mustache Interview series by catching up with Cleveland Brown, the star of FOX Television’s “The Cleveland Show,” airing on Sunday nights at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Cooley, a part-time Mustached American who hails from Mustached American heritage (his father was a Mustached American as well), discusses [...]

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers Quarterback

On September 3, 2011, by AMI Staff

Continuing the American Mustache Institute’s award-winning interview series — the last one with Milwaukee Brewers closer John Axford — AMI chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut recently spoke with Green Bay Packers quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers. With the NFL season nearly upon us, the on-again off-again Mustached American Rodgers expressed his appreciation for being [...]

John Axford, Milwaukee Brewers Pitcher

On August 16, 2011, by AMI Staff

Continuing the American Mustache Institute’s award-winning interview series, AMI chairman Dr. Aaron Perlut recently spoke with Milwaukee Brewers closer John Axford.

Jimmy McMillan, Future New York Governor

On November 14, 2010, by AMI Staff

It’s never “politics as usual” when Future Governor Jimmy McMillan of the Rent is Too Damn High Party gets involved. Whether it’s threatening to bulldoze mountains or fighting for the rights of shoes to express their love openly in the bonds of holy matrimony, McMillan (a.k.a. Papa Smurf, a.k.a. The Black Hulk Hogan, a.k.a. Santa Claus on Venus) [...]

Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti, Competitive Eater

On June 14, 2010, by AMI Staff

This Sunday, while millions of Americans are busy feeding their faces with grilled meat and alcoholic beverages…one man will be in New York representing the mustached community in the Annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. As a special treat to our loyal readers, AMI correspondent Jesus Meledez of the Hall Of Very Good had [...]

JR Raphael, eSarcasm Founder

On March 14, 2010, by AMI Staff

Most people of Mustached American descent probably have not heard of JR Raphael – a rather thin but very funny guy, which is not something you’d expect from a nerd who writes on technology. He’s actually kind of a big deal in tech circles, writing for PC World, and is regularly published in such places [...]

Ben Thompson, “Badass” Author

On January 14, 2010, by AMI Staff

It’s a biblical truth that people of Mustached American descent are powerful, good looking, and have an odor that is 27 percent more pleasant – based on Nielsen data – than the average American. Our people are also, unequivocally, a collective group of badasses. As a result, this month we talk to author Ben Thompson, [...]

Kevin Cronin, REO Speedwagon Singer/Songwriter

On December 14, 2009, by AMI Staff

Over the past few years you’ve probably noticed a lot bands jumping into video games. Hell, since September escaping an ad for the Beatles Rockband game has been like getting rid of a bad case of lice – a near impossibility. Until now, every one of these games have been “action” oriented video games where [...]

Clay Zavada, Arizona Diamondbacks Pitcher

On November 14, 2009, by AMI Staff

Shortly after winning the American Mustache Institute’s “Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year” award at ‘Stache Bash 2009, Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Clay Zavada sat down with the AMI to wax poetic on the immense honor and humbling personal experience. Mr. Zavada was kind enough to withstand, and even respond to, a barrage of [...]

Rollie Fingers, Hall-of-Fame Pitcher

On October 14, 2009, by AMI Staff

Major League Baseball Hall-of-Famer and mustache legend Rollie Fingers recently made himself available to the American Mustache Institute to talk about his new book Rollie’s Follies. The book is a humorous and insightful look at many of the stories, stats and legends that make up the illustrious and rich history of Major League Baseball – with one of [...]

Chris Steiner, Author

On September 20, 2009, by AMI Staff

Every once in awhile the American Mustache Institute will step out of our normal paradigm of lunacy and delve into the issues facing people of Mustached American descent. And as our people often drive large, gas-guzzling pick-up trucks and use them to topple ridiculous looking hybrid vehicles, we thought it was time to focus our [...]

John Oates, Legendary Musician

On July 20, 2009, by AMI Staff

John Oates is many things: a solid citizen, a member of one of the most prolific duos in music history, a father, a square dancer, a Philadelphia-area native, and more. But more importantly, John Oates is a Mustached American – or at least for much of his life up until 1990, he embraced the Mustached [...]

Dead Confederate, Rock Band

On June 20, 2009, by AMI Staff

They’re not The Dead Milkmen, and they’re not Confederate Railroad, but they might be somewhere in between. They’re Dead Confederate, a unique mix of alternative and Southern rock. And although you might not think it to look at them, they hate Dave Navarro just as much as you do. Recently, they’ve been prominently featured in [...]

Fergie Jenkins, Hall-of-Fame Pitcher

On May 20, 2009, by AMI Staff

It’s rare that a Major League Baseball player or even a pathetic washed up celebrity, past or present, will say, “sure, I’ll talk with you” via email or any other medium. But when a baseball Hall-of-Famer will actually devote some time to do a one-on-one sit-down interview with you just four days after having his [...]

Jack McCallum, Sportswriter

On April 20, 2009, by AMI Staff

If you are a longtime reader of Sports Illustrated, you know Jack McCallum. He joined the magazine’s staff in 1981, primarily writing about basketball, but over the years has reported on a variety of sports-related topics ranging from baseball chatter to electronic football. McCallum is also the author of Seven Sconds or Less: My Season [...]

Ron Cey, Former Major League Baseball Player

On November 20, 2008, by AMI Staff

As much as it might pain us to admit it, the most notable physical trait about this month’s interviewee might not be his mustache, although both impressive and fear-inducing in its own right. Instead, it might be his distinctive running gait, which earned him the nickname “The Penguin” from his former manager, Hall-of-Famer Tommy Lasorda. [...]

Rob Kutner, The Daily Show

On October 20, 2008, by AMI Staff

To get an accurate read on the fate of civilization and prepare for the coming apocalypse, who else would we turn to than a writer for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart?” Rob Kutner, who is such a writer, is more importantly the author of “Apocalypse How, Turn the End Times into the Best of [...]
