We finally did it y'all, Ariana and I had a baby boy soon after recording The Prince of Egypt episode. In our hearts the podcast has an even greater purpose now that we truly have the physical ability to pass down our favorite movies to young Aaron. This does however come with an unfortunate truth that we can't upload consistent episodes of The PP Syndrome Pod now that we have a baby to care for. We firmly believe the backlog of movies we've covered is not enough, and we look forward to returning every now and then to bring new episodes when time permits. In the mean time we intend to take our responsibility as parents very seriously, and we know y'all will agree with us and understand the gaps in between episodes during this proud moment in our lives.

Topics Include: We have a baby. Meet Aaron Pregnancy/Delivery First weeks with the brand new baby. The kid won't lay down. You'll get an episode, when you get an episode.

This announcement comes in the middle of our 2nd break, same time frame as last year. We have officially bought a house, and moved from our beautiful hometown of Austin, TX to Del Valle, TX. A small outskirt bordering Austin. While it's been a long running joke, we learned first hand how hard gentrification and the California migration has affected our housing market. In the end we put on a brave face and appreciate our house that will shelter our growing family, and make it a home.
