Iam Tongi is the Hawaiian kid who broke everyone on American Idol Season 23. He showed up heartbroken—his dad had just passed 3 months before. Music was always their thing. He almost quit completely. But his mom secretly signed him up for Idol anyway. Then he sang “Monsters”… and the world felt it. That was the moment. He won Season 23, but losing his dad forced him to find his own voice, live, on television. When his guitar broke during Hollywood Week, he knew—this was his dad telling him he could do it on his own. Now? He just dropped “Unbreak My Heart,” plus “Sunshine” that he wrote for his mom, performed at the Opry, CMA Fest, even has a track in Lilo & Stitch, plus an album in the works… All while losing 110 pounds, still grieving, still growing—and singing from a place only he can. Iam Tongi is a true inspiration, lifting hearts around the world with his voice and story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textNashville's legendary CMA Fest vibrates through this episode as Jay and Tiffany take you behind closed doors of country music's biggest gathering. Far more than just concerts and fan experiences, we unpack the fascinating ecosystem that forms when hundreds of thousands descend on Music City.Walking Broadway's musical gauntlet creates a sensory experience like no other—stepping from one bar to the next delivers an entirely new soundscape, with multiple performances happening simultaneously across different levels of each venue. But beyond the tourist appeal lies the real magic: the networking, the connections made, and the stories that unfold when industry professionals who typically collaborate digitally finally meet face-to-face.We share our candid personal highlights, from impromptu boob-signing adventures to meeting music legends like Lee Greenwood, whose dedication to listening to every veteran's story extends his meet-and-greets by hours. These moments of authenticity reveal the heart behind the glitz. Meanwhile, our exploration of Morgan Wallen's record-breaking chart domination—with 36 of 37 tracks charting simultaneously—leads us to examine how streaming has fundamentally reshaped album creation and consumption.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we debate dream artist meetups (is Elvis still alive?), examine the potential of podcast influence on politics through Mark Maron's iconic garage recordings, and contemplate how Eminem's evolution into grandparenthood makes us all feel suddenly ancient. We even discover life-changing culinary wisdom with salt and pepper on french fries—proving that sometimes the smallest revelations create the most lasting impressions.Whether you're curious about country music's beating heart, fascinated by entertainment industry mechanics, or simply love genuine conversation that ranges from heartfelt to hilarious, this episode delivers unique insights you won't find in mainstream coverage.
