I think it is sad that he can't afford to live in his homeland...I hope that changes for him.

[@Jaekimhawaii]

What about writing some "elevator" songs? I like IZ, but his songs are played too often (don't get mad, it's still good), and I wish to hear some new good ones.

Decatur High school in Federal Way?? That's right across the street from me. Congrats.

[@Harpoon2theRescue]

Lived in Hawaii for 30 years with lots and lots of family still there. I absolutely love how he called out the cost of living that has been out of control and the state run into the ground by 40+ years of democrat policies. We left for the same reason, Mililani has become over run with the homeless and crime.

[@1059thewavefm]

I like that he makes the most out of wherever he and his family is at any given time :) Thank you for watching/listening to our talk story and you can find Iam Tongi (at)wtongi on most social!
