The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

That's how we felt when our 11 and 15-year-olds introduced us to the baffling world of Gen Z slang. We put on our best "dad mode" and tried to decode terms like "sigma," "beta," and "sus" with the help of our pint-sized linguists, leading to plenty of laughs and some truly unexpected discoveries. From wild adventures on Urban Dictionary to pondering the enigma of "Skibbity" and "phantom tax," this episode is a delightful romp through the quirky corners of youth culture. And just when you think you've wrapped your head around it all, we take a playful jab at understanding "riz"—the charisma that's got today's kids talking. As our kids continue to grow, we reflect on the hidden sacrifices and thoughtful gestures that form the backbone of parenting. Sharing personal stories of midnight pickups and coffee-fueled mornings, we highlight how these small acts often go unnoticed until the teenage years roll around and appreciation starts to blossom. We also explore the surprising benefits of teaching financial responsibility and nurturing independence—like how buying their own belongings can turn messy kids into neat freaks.
