Robert Kuang arrived in the US from Beijing at an early age and often found escape in stories. A trained classical pianist, Robert eventually found his voice as a storyteller, studying Film, Television, & Theatre Production at the University of Colorado and earning his MFA in Dramatic Writing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.

I check in with standup comic John Moses at start of the lockdown to see how the covid crisis is affecting touring artists and John's side hustle as a home inspector. As John mentions, artists can still count on royalties in these troubling times, so give one of John's comedy albums a spin on Spotify and see why Monsters and Critics said, "John Moses’ comedy is definitely on the edge, and the edge is right between evil genius and uncontrollable laughter." follow @comedianjohnmoses & @johnmoses

Well, just like the Mullet, this episode is a blast from the past that somehow got as lost in the archives as Michele and John got in their travels to this live taping. Unbeknownst to them, their uber knowledgeable driver deserted them outside the former/now vacant home of the Iron Room restaurant to stand on the corner like tourists in their own land. Anywhoo, Michele Riveli & John Bucci from Evident Title were able to hustle on over to the new Iron Room and give us a few minutes of their expertise about title insurance and the state of the real estate industry. Michele is Evident's Director of Business Development, and a proud member of the Wolfpack (NC State's not Zach Galifianakis').

An integral part of facilitating real estate transactions, title companies are called upon to insure the value and integrity of a property. With the recent boom in the real estate market, the need for accuracy, efficiency and superior customer service is more important than ever.

Episode 100 continues as I sit down with the other half of the chief mullet shapers, William "Billy" Balmer, a/k/a Dad, a/k/a Pop. A proud USMC veteran and vet of the NJ banking scene, by day Bill is the Director of Sales & Marketing for Brunswick Bank & Trust. Founded in 1902, Brunswick Bank and Trust was started on one idea, helping people. At the time it opened its doors, a bank of its kind didn’t exist in the local area. While the national bank set out to help citizens from a government level, and the savings bank helped them with investments, the founders of Brunswick Bank and Trust strived for a more inclusive approach to banking. When not engaging in his favorite pastime of making a Wegman's run, Pop is an active member of the dynamic grandparenting duo of Gabby & Pop where he specializes in antagonizing and riling up his grandkids to the delight of their parents. Pop is also an active volunteer at area soup kitchens and currently serves as a Deacon at the St. James Memorial Episcopal Church in Eatontown, NJ. While the church is closed, you can find their services online at: www.stjameseatontown.org . On a personal note, much like his parenting partner, I also appreciate my Dad for always being there with his love and support no matter what I'm doing - even if it involves being the 100th person to throw on a mullet wig and take a pic for some reason! Thanks Pop, much love brotha!

In celebration of 100 episodes of the Mulletcast, I went back to the people who started it all - mom & dad! In part one of this very special two-part series, I chat with mom. By day Jane Balmer is the Director of the Rossmoor Adult Community Association. Rossmoor is an award-winning Adult Community that covers 418 acres just off Exit 8A of the New Jersey Turnpike, in the heart of Central Jersey. This stunning, gated New England-style community boasts more than 2,300 Manors, 3,000 residents, an 18-hole championship golf course, a well-appointed fitness center, and a spacious clubhouse. The rest of the time, Jane's an award-winning parent and grandparent affectionately (and as I'm sure she'd admit appropriately) known as Gabby to her 6 grandkids. Most importantly, 'ol Jane's firmly in my corner even if she may not quite understand why I do all of this podcasting. Thanks Gabs, love you!

In what seems like a lifetime ago, John Moses & I caught up with Option 1 Realty Group's Damon Redmond at the Triple Play Realtor convention to check up on the status of the real estate market in Newark, NJ, wholesaling properties and to discuss where Damon saw the market going. Man did we get a curve ball! Damon got his start in real estate in the mortgage industry as a loan consultant, first with PHH Mortgage, then CENDANT. In order to get more experience in the market, Damon started buying and selling residential real estate in South Jersey and eventually got his real estate license in 2003 and started to sell real estate full time. After taking a beating on an investment property with unknown lien issues, Damon obtained his title producer's license in the state of NJ.

Patrick Fasano has over forty years of real estate development experience. It all started in 1974 while he was working at his first restaurant job in New Brunswick. With the savings he earned, Patrick began buying boarded up houses and renovating them. He even rented these single and multi-family homes to the staff that worked alongside him in the restaurant. The owners of the restaurant eventually invested in Mr. Fasano to begin his first business, Reliable Properties. What followed were many successful development projects across the US. Fast forward to 1998 when Pat acquired his first building in Asbury Park on Bangs Avenue. The first floor of this building he donated to the gay & lesbian community, and the 2nd floor was converted into apartments to provide housing for his contracting employees as they began rehabbing more buildings throughout the beachfront city. Over the past 15+ years Mr. Fasano has focused on developments in Asbury Park. In the past decade he built over two hundred condominium units for sale with a market value of over $50 million. Additionally he built a number of commercial spaces and restaurants such as Brando’s, The Asbury Lanes, The Wonder Bar, Plaza Tapatia, The Bond Street Complex, and Passion as well as 12 storefronts on Cookman & Mattison Avenue. We were fortunate enough to catch up with Pat for a live podcast and walking tour of his latest passion location, Atlantic City. Pat literally shouted his love for this City from the streets as we toured his development on the New York Avenue portion of the Orange Loop, home to Bourre, a New Orleans style restaurant, the home of a shipping container style hotel with 40 rooms, and a CBD dispensary along with 12 apartment units that were currently under construction. Pat has a contagious passion for his projects, which is evident in this quick interview. Perhaps most interesting in this episode is Pat's response to the question about the approval process in Atlantic City with respect to his extensive plan on New York Ave. Be on the look out for Part 2 as we look to sit down with Pat in the studio for a more extensive conversation soon!

The Iron Room under the direction of Executive Chef Kevin Cronin has redefined the Atlantic City dining scene since 2013. We originally sat down with Kevin on MulletCast Episode 33 at the original Iron Room location, a restaurant and speakeasy that offered globally inspired new American cuisine that focused on using sustainable, fresh local ingredients that embraced the season. We recently caught up with Chef Kevin at the Iron Room's new home on the Orange Loop at 131 South Tennessee Avenue as his new kitchen was literally being airlifted from the front of the restaurant to it's home in the back by crane.

Chris D'Amico just happened to be at the right place at the right time...or was he having a bad day and in the wrong place at the wrong time? Well I guess this is open to interpretation, but here's what happened - Chris, a supplier of quality foods to Atlantic City restaurants had just settled in for a cup of coffee at the Iron Room to get some work done between appointments. That's when the MulletCast came rolling in and started setting up podcast gear a table away from Chris' sanctuary. After Chris realized we were going to mess with his peace and the iron Room's music, we invited him over fro a chat. In this episode, Chris dishes on his work with Driscoll Foods, his take on real estate development in Atlantic City, and more. Comedian John Moses guest hosts.

It's time for the 2019 Christmas Episode of the MulletCast! Why is this the Christmas episode? Because it answers a very important question - What do you get the town that has everything for Christmas? Why you give it a world-class music festival over two days on the beach ofcourse! Tim Donnelly is the son of a third generation Elizabeth, NJ firefighter, and his bro is the 4th generation. Tim grew up the youngest of four around the jersey shore and was into music, hoops, boogie boarding, activism, and writing among other things. Tim worked on the Seaside boardwalk, was a badge checker, and a lifeguard. His experience as a badge checker has helped him evade his fellow checkers and to this day he has never owned a proper beach badge despite walking area beaches like a Kiss guitarist (that's "Frehley" for the kids out there). A piece Tim wrote about a drowning victim lead to his work with Body Boarding magazine and eventually a gig as the music editor at Surfer mag. Tim also did important work with the Surfrider Foundation, eventually bringing a chapter back to the Jersey Shore. Tim turned these experiences into working with some of the world's biggest bands at some of the world's best music festivals like Lollapalooza, Woodstock 99, Bonnaroo, and more, and he has helped friends, family, and strangers alike rebuild after Katrina and Sandy. In this episode you will hear about the early Sea.Hear Now that lived on the Asbury boardwalk and how Tim and his friend Danny Clinch went out and made Sea.Hear.Now the killer festival it is now...with a little inadvertent help from Bruce Springsteen along the way! For all you wiseasses out there that are going to comment on my shirt - that's right, I had a garbage can and a camera in the studio and was stealing any signs I could find about the 2020 Sea. Hear. Now lineup. All I want for Christmas is to be standing on the beach of Asbury Park next September on a moonlit night with my eyes closed while an epic Trey Anastasio solo rains down from the heavens over the Atlantic, but despite my sign stealing antics, Tim offered zero clues about next year's lineup. Whattaya say fellas, can we make this happen?! Get all the latest on Sea.Hear.Now at www.seahearnowfestival.com and follow @seahearnow & @donnellysea

Jim Garcia, whose alter ego is Spaz is the bass player and frontman of The Nerds, America's Rock & Roll Fun-Omenon. The Nerds are definitely fun and a phenomenon. They have been a live music institution on the Jersey Shore circuiy and well beyond, entertaining literally generations of music lovers and revellers for 34 years. The Nerds have played the most sought-after clubs, sold out out Carnegie Hall, and have played private events for top companies across the country like GSK, KPMG, Merrill Lynch, eTrade, TAG Heuer, Morgan Stanley, Pfizer, and so on. Not ones to rest on their past success, The Nerds are arguably the hardest working band in show business, maintaining a rigorous touring schedule that often features multiple gigs in a day. Jim Garcia grew up in a musical household of Cuban immigrants and started playing music at an early age. Success came fairly early on after the band gained some traction as a humorous party band with the nerd persona. Jim credits the band's original manager with teaching them the importance of treating their band as a business. You may not hear the phrase sex, drugs, and health insurance every day, but Jim and the Nerds flourished with this mindset and were able to achieve things like salaries, benefits, buying houses, etc. early in their career. Today Jim does marvel at the relationships he has made with fans over the years, and the new generations that have replaced them at gigs. Jim has passed his love of music on to his sons who are both following their passions with music. Jim has started thinking about post-Nerds life some and is currently researching real estate as something that may fill some time and allow him to work with his hands when gigs slow down. For now there is no sign of gigs slowing down. In the coming weeks you can catch The Nerds here: 10/18 Artie's in Frenchtown, 10/25 Cooper's Riverview, Trenton, 10/31 blu alehouse, 11/2 Riverdale, Cedar Garden 11/2 Cedar Garden, Hamilton, 11/14 Moore's Tavern, 11/23 Wind Creek Casino & Hotel.

Great to chat with the newly-appointed Chief Operating Officer of Innovation Title, Marisa Goldman, whose Long Island accent wasn't as noticeable as advertised. Marisa got into the title business like most, as a communications major from Towson University who scored the opportunity to work with MTV planning concerts and events. Actually instead of diving right into title, Marisa got a job with one of the most prestigious commercial production companies around, Hungry Man Productions, upon graduation. Fun fact - one of the Partner/Directors of Hungry Man, Bryan Buckley, actually directed the most Superbowl commercials of all time. Marisa worked for Hungry Man in the city for several years, and she attributes her production experience as the foundation of all of her other successes in media and advertising. After the birth of her daughter, Marisa decided to centralize her life in NJ when her uncle realtor Garry Klein of Century 21, Mack Morris, suggested she get her real estate license and work inhouse in the marketing department at a real estate agency. Through this work Marisa was introduced to the owner of Innovation Title, Yara Chamas, and the rest, kids, is history! Marisa is happy to be a licensed title producer and be part of the Innovation Title team. In this episode we get some backgound on what title insurance covers and some of the unique title concerns in the State of New Jersey.

"Juicy" Jenn Hampton is an arts and music curator part owner and co-director and curator of Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park, NJ and curator of the Wooden Walls Project. Jenn spent many years pursing acting, art and documentary film production after college. Her acting pursuits lead her to Asbury Park where she helped create and build the legendary Asbury Lanes. In the eleven years at Asbury Lanes, Jenn helped to create a national and international fan base of performers, bands and burlesque acts, in addition to creating an innovative gallery program that focused on young art collectors. The success of Asbury Lanes helped to create a destination in Asbury Park for music lovers, artists, and performers from all over the country. Parlor Gallery opened in 2009 with a unique vision in New Jersey’s art community that features innovative work by some of the best emerging and established artists. Parlor curates exhibits the public may not ordinarily have access to outside of a large urban environment within a welcoming, creative, and inspirational space. Jenn is also the curator of the Wooden Walls Project, a public arts program that showcases murals and public art on the Asbury Park Boardwalk that has brought international recognition to Asbury Park and the participating artists while providing a backdrop to likely millions of Instagram photos. Porkchop is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He has a MFA in Sculpture from VCU and has had a successful career designing and creating murals, mixed media art, and sculpture. He creates intriguing scenarios by combining paint, illustration, and text. He has exhibited exclusively in the United States and Europe with Russia on the horizon and is published in “The Greatest Erotic Art of Today/Volume 2”, “Eye Candy” and “I Want Your Skull." Denizens and visitors to Monmouth County have been enjoying Porkchop’s vibrant and colorful artwork and murals for years, but in its most recent manifestation, the artist strips his works of his normally vivid palette and instead employs intentionally ritualistic and graphic monochromatic designs and symbols accented with Gold. Influenced by ancient block printing techniques, history and literature, Porkchop sources out, manipulates, and casts familiar objects. He then painstakingly recreates their surfaces giving them a new existence into a dark and curious storyline. The application of paint into his intentional ritualistic designs followed by flawless coats of glossy resin is an act of pure precision and care, like the work of a surgeon or mortician. There are often unexpected but pleasant marriages of imagery and object. By stripping these pieces of his usual vibrant palette, Porkchop’s choice of black & white emphasizes the narrative in the works, which becomes difficult to ignore. Presenting these pieces in symmetry creates an alter that pulls the stories altogether. This is a great chat with two visionaries leaving their lasting imprint on Asbury Park and the world!

Matt Cornier's memory of his entire school career consists of being incessantly talked to, yelled at, and even sometimes thrown out of class for drawing. Little did they know, Matt was also getting his entrepreneurial hustle on by drawing for kids in class to earn some extra money to buy video games, toys, etc. Today Matt's art and business skills are evident in his work as Creative Director for Feeling Swell and as Co-Owner of Syren Clothing. Matt got serious about his drawing in high school and continued to sell doodles and now tattoo designs for friends as well. He earned a spot as a contributing artist in the Hurley "Walk the Walk" Challenge during his senior year and made it all the way to the finals where they flew him out to Huntington Beach for the US Surf Open to have a fashion show competition. Matt would later realize that this was the most important experience of his professional career. Matt went on to study art in college and hung around the local tattoo shops begging for an apprenticeship. When this experience didn't turn out as expected, Matt went through a dark period of doubt but emerged with a new knowledge of motorcycles and a move into graphic design. While he once viewed Computer Generated Drawing Programs sacrilegious, Matt fell in love with the medium and graduated with a fine arts degree. Today Matt is proud to make 100% of his living from art. Aside from his roles with Feeling Swell & Syren, he is the Graphic Designer / Merchandise Manager for the band Sunshine Spazz. He believes art Art saves lives and believes it truly saved his. Matt would like to remind anyone listening going though a hard time or career path of the old saying, "Do what you love for a living and you'll never feel like you're working a day in your life." In Matt's words, "Live to Die Happy."

The Barr brothers grew up in Bridgewater, NJ before their parents decided to live at the Jersey Shore full time.

With the trademarked brand name in hand, the brothers saw an opportunity to build a brand with a philanthropic mission. However, it was unclear exactly what that mission would be. Once a family member’s experiences with mental illness arose, it became very obvious what Feeling Swell was meant to be and quite a natural fit. Feeling Swell is dedicated to building a brand that inspires individuals to explore their sunny side of life and a become a company that unites communities around delivering the message that it is okay to reach out for help with your mental health. Feeling Swell strives to create happier beach communities by working with many partners to instill optimism, compassion, and self-love while supporting the creation of environments in which individuals are more willing to share their stories and offer support to others.
