Take Liberties, The Mustache Rangers: Episode 229

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:00:49 +0000

Everyone tells stories. Even rocks, if you put a robot mouth on them and tell the robot mouth to say approximately what you think a rock would say. It’s mostly “I’m dry” or “I’m wet.” Rocks are very aware of their hydration levels.

The Mustache Rangers jabber on about stories and how they should be told in this week’s podcast episode. Enjoy it while surrounded by your loved ones.

A Short Intermission

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:45:57 +0000

The Secondary Objective, The Mustache Rangers And: Episode 228

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:00:46 +0000

Video games make their influence known as the Mustache Rangers work on confirming their secondary objective in this week’s podcast episode. Will they have to hack three computers or find the secret music box? You’ll have to listen to find out. Or have a courtroom stenographer type out this week’s episode for you and have them read it back. That’d probably be fun for you, yeah?

Take Flight, The Mustache Rangers: Episode 227

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:00:41 +0000

The serious topic of body alteration is used for the light fun in this week’s Mustache Rangers podcast episode. Did you see that guy who put magnets under his skin so he could attach some devil horns? I mean, really. Come on, guy. Give that surgery money to me! I’d spend it on so much gum!

Anti-Comedy, The Mustache Rangers Are: Episode 226

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 09:00:34 +0000

The Comedy Album and artistic interpretation are the main talking points in this week’s Mustache Rangers podcast episode. And the squabbling. There is always a bit of that, isn’t there?

You think, over hundreds of years, you’d eventually work out the kinks in a friendship. The reality is, the kinks keep getting worse. It’s sad, in a way. Or, actually, it’s funny. It had better be funny. This is a comedy podcast after all.

Change-Up, The Mustache Rangers: Episode 225

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:00:03 +0000

Turn Inside Out, The Mustache Rangers: Episode 224

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:00:21 +0000

Internal organs, what they can do and what they can’t do, are the pain topics of contention on this week’s Mustache Rangers podcast episode.

Now, keep in mind, the Mustache Rangers are not doctors. At least, not doctors in the traditional sense. If you would consider “someone who eats a certain brand of breakfast cereal because they think it will keep them healthy” a doctor, then the Mustache Rangers are most certainly doctors. But, you most certainly don’t think that.

Interrupted, The Mustache Rangers Are: Episode 222

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:00:02 +0000

We can’t blame you to listening to the Minneapolis St Paul Magazine best podcast of 2011. We would too, if we weren’t living it.

In this week’s podcast episode, the Mustache Rangers learn how rude it is to interrupt someone. And then some other stuff happens.

Graphic novels are for everybody. Sure, that what the geek at the store keeps telling you, but that doesn’t make it less true.

The Mustache Rangers work on their very own graphic novel in this week’s comedy podcast adventure.

Toilet paper orientation – Computer-pedia

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:48:02 +0000

Toilet paper is something you put gross stuff that comes out of your body on. It is made out of trees, like rocking horses. Sometimes it is quilted by little church ladies and sometimes it is made by bears. Do you understand what toilet paper is now? Good. Now on to the “orientation” part of this article.

Toilet paper orientation is an issue created by stand-up comedians. They think that, when locked in a horizontal position, there is a best way for toilet paper to fall. The two options are over the top or down the back. We won’t even get into worm holes being used to solve this “problem.” It isn’t a problem. Who cares?

Do you know how many marriages ended in comedy related observations before stand-up comedians were invented? One percent. And after Einstein invented stand-up comedy? Two percent. That’s double what it used to be!

The proper reaction to someone talking about the correct orientation of toilet paper is to sock them in the teeth. You should be wearing chain mail gloves while doing this. No sense in cutting your knuckles up.

Here are other things that dumb dummies think are issues but are not:

Toilet seat position (so toilet obsessed)
How toast hits the floor
Babies on airplanes
Babies in dumpsters
Reaganomics
How bitches be trippin

Who regrets never having figured out the toilet paper orientation issue on their death bed? Nobody! Instead they’re all, like, “Oh, I’m so mortal. I wish I was a computer.” Chumps.

Whoops a Daisy

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:14:19 +0000

We know, we know! You love you Monday podcast updates. And we love you. But it isn’t going to happen this week. The immeasurably insignificant gravitational pull of aligning planets have caused our crab signs to fight some bulls. Or something. Anyways, there will be a new podcast up next week.

In the meantime, why not check out the new shows that will be going up at the NoisePicnic podcasting network this week? You don’t have to answer “why not.” That was more of just a thing to say. But you can answer it if you like. Why not?

The Mustache Rangers Are Angry at David Malki: Episode 219

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:00:51 +0000

The Mustache Rangers Are Cliche: Episode 218

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:00:39 +0000

A phrase or cliche has a life of its own. Once said, it will either sprout wings and play upon the gentle winds of humanity forever or it will fall to the ground and be crushed like the onion under a mountain.

For example. Do you think “looks like rain today” is a phrase that will live on eternally through the human culture or will it turn to dust the second it leaves your stupid mouth? C’mon! Think of something interesting to say for once, Larry!

The Mustache Rangers discuss cliches in this week’s comedy podcast episode. Share it with your social community, so they don’t think all you have to share are cat pictures.

Manuel Carbonell: Computer-pedia

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:13:32 +0000

Manuel Carbonell, the last of the Cuban Master Sculptors. He was a guy who looked at a piece of wood and said, “That ain’t no wood. I see an eagle or something crazy in there.” And then he used a tooth brush to carve out that crazy thing. Maybe not a toothbrush. Probably a chisel or something. I don’t know.

(photo by Joyce Lowry)

So, anyways, Manuel is still alive. But he’s very old. So hold on to those sculptures. Also, I asked him “don’t you hate Cuba” and he was “no, Cuba is awesome and sexy.” Whatever. I didn’t really care.

When asked what kind of board games Manuel liked, he said Monopoly. That was kind of weird for someone from a communist nation. He might have said CandyLand. Google Translate was kinda iffy on the whole thing. He said “dulces de la tierra.” Sounds like Monopoly, right?

Current sculptures by Manuel look like the ship from Flight of the Navigator, painted black, squished, and stretch. They also sound like Paul Rubens. You have to listen real close though.

So, to wrap up this entry, have you ever seen a bird and you didn’t know what it was? That’s the only time anyone ever uses a bird book. Well, a coaster too. To look up birds and act as a coaster.

The Mustache Rangers Are Vein: Episode 213

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:00:39 +0000

Get rich quick schemes are only good if the schemes are quick. If they are not, then you have yourself a get rich scheme. And if you don’t have the scheme figured out, then you simply get rich. The lesson here is, drop the schemes.

The Mustache Rangers scheme their little hearts and veins out in this week’s comedy podcast adventure.

Sometimes we just want to be noticed. That’s why city folks wear overalls, after all.

The Mustache Rangers figure out their own quirks in this week’s podcast adventure.

Mustache Rangers Live and the Virtual Ticket

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:14:02 +0000

The Mustache Rangers have two more live shows left in this run. They take place on August 18th and 25th at 8pm at HUGE Improv Theater. Tickets are only $5! This might be your last chance to see the Mustache Rangers live this year, so don’t let these shows pass you by!

And we know that not everyone lives in Minnesota. If you live far away, would like to watch the Mustache Rangers, and would like to support HUGE Improv Theater, we have a solution for you. The virtual ticket! For the price of a regular ticket (five dollars!), you will receive access to watch a video of the performance you purchased a virtual ticket for.

A few notes about the virtual ticket. The recording equipment isn’t super fancy. The quality will be somewhere around the quality of our other live videos. You will also receive access to stream the video from a website. The video will not be for download. And, finally, please allow up to a week to receive a link to the video. It will probably be uploaded this weekend, but sometimes space-things happen and need to be space-taken-care-of.

All money goes directly to HUGE Improv Theater. Sure, the Mustache Rangers like money. But we really like having a theater where we can perform. Your virtual ticket will help pay the rent and keep the doors open.

So! If you live close by, get off your butts and see the Mustache Rangers in person! If you live in a far away state, get yourself a virtual ticket and enjoy the show!

150 Review Challenge

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:23:44 +0000

Here’s the deal. The ratings and reviews on the iTunes listing for the Mustache Rangers are lacking. Don’t get us wrong. We deeply appreciate everyone who has left a review so far. But we need more.

iTunes is how a majority of listeners find new podcasts. Ratings and reviews are how iTunes determines which podcasts they should feature on their site. So to grow the Mustache Rangers audience, we need more ratings and reviews.

We are looking to boost our current number of ratings, which is sitting at 42, to 150.

So, you want a reward huh? Well, we’ll give you more podcasts. You may or may not know that Computer has been calling folks. And he may or may not know that we have been recording these calls.

Well, if we make the goal of 150 iTunes ratings (don’t skimp on the reviews either), then we will begin to release these computer calls as podcasts for everyone to enjoy.

We know you’re already listening to the podcast. So please, if you would be so kind, leave a rating and review on iTunes and encourage others to do the same.

The Mustache Rangers Do It For Stuff And Giggles: Episode 187

When in polite company, it is ideal to say “shut the front door” and “it’s not of your GD business” instead of their dirtier cousins, the swears. In non-polite company (burlesque dancers and pool hall attendants) you can let the swears fly.

The Mustache Rangers find a little touch of joy in this week’s comedy podcast episode. Bring it up at your next dinner event.

The 2nd Annual HUGE Improv Theater Fundraiser is this Saturday, and it is going to be a heck of a show. Rich Sommer, of Mad Men and The Office, and Justin Pierre, of Motion City Soundtrack, will be there along with one of the two Mustache Rangers.

But beyond that, there will be a silent auction to raise money for HUGE. And the Mustache Rangers have donated their time to the auction in the form of An Awkward Dinner with the Mustache Rangers. The winners of this auction will get to spend an awkward night at the Shout House piano bar with the Mustache Rangers. What sort of stilted and hilarious conversation will occur? You’ll have to bid, and win, to find out!

Description of the Day

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:59:17 +0000

How would you describe the Mustache Rangers? Here’s what Lem Pew said.

You know how improv has rules, right? Like you have to go with what the other person says, and work with each other to build a scene. It’s like catch, you throw the ball, they catch it. Aric and Corey are like two guys playing catch where they knock the ball to the ground. Or don’t throw it. Or pretend to throw it. Or throw it behind them.

It has come to our attention that sports events are happening all the time. While you’re sleeping. While you’re reading. While you’re washing the dishes. Someone will be playing sports. Of course, someone somewhere will be doing crappy theater too. It all evens out. The world is amazing.

How To Describe the Mustache Rangers to your Friends

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:38:54 +0000

Performer, playwright and long-time arts and culture journalist Max Sparber made it out to the Mustache Rangers live show last week. He then went about writing the best article about the Mustache Rangers ever for MinnPost.

Most articles about Twin Cities improvisation tend to boil down to “sometimes it’s good, and sometimes it isn’t.” Max went many steps further and took in the show like it was actually legitimate theater. And it may surprise some people, but improv is legitimate theater.

The article really gives a feel for what a Mustache Rangers live show show is like, it’s characters, and how it comes together. If you have ever been at a loss for words when telling your friends about the Mustache Rangers, you can scoop up some of Max’s words and put them into your mouth to help you out.

We would like to thank Max for the very excellent article. And we would like you, reading this. Yes, you. We can hear you breathing. We would like you to pass on this article to anyone you’re trying to convince to see our show. And, of course, read it yourself. And read Max’s other articles at MinnPost.

Also, we love you. Come to the show tonight, darling. HUGE Improv Theater. 8pm. $5.

Live shows, podcasts, and the rest

mustacherangers@gmail.com (The Mustache Rangers) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:42:38 +0000

First and foremost, the Mustache Rangers stage show continues on a weekly basis. Except for January 13th. If you try to see us on the 13th, you will end up feeling sad and alone. Unless someone is with you. But you’ll probably shut yourself off from that other person. Never allowing them to see the real you ever again. Don’t run the risk! But do come see the live show on January 6th, 20th, or 27th.

Second and foremost, the holidays have really done a number on the podcast schedule. Do not expect a new episode until January 24th. We do suggest listening to some older episodes. For the Great Mustache’s sake, there are 180 episodes. That should give you something to do.

Third and foremost, that is all.
