13/04/2019 Duración: 56minWe get it!! You vape!! We start this episode off having a very frank discussion about a habit that's come out of the shadows more and more as it's become legal in more and more places. Then we talk a bit about our couple weeks off and some of the conventions and other activities that have gone on during the time away. We also talk about some of the latest in geek and pop culture, such as the latest star wars trailer that came out today. And how is Victoria feeling about Disneyland's latest changes in preparation for Star Wars land?

Episode 17: Two Desserts
15/03/2019 Duración: 53minIt's been a busy time for travel for both Rob Roberts and Arya Snark! Rob catches us up on his Las Vegas trip to see the Gwen Stefani residency. It appears the show was great and all, but what about that FOOD? Arya is attending a convention in Seattle this weekend, but what happens when there is a cosplay emergency? Oh noes! We also have some time to talk about the headlines going around the nation that lots of people are discussing, and give our own sassy (and sometimes serious) spin on things.

Episode 16: BDE
02/03/2019 Duración: 01h04minArya Snark has been under the weather but she's toughing it out tonight to join us for another episode of the show! We start with a conversation on BDE, and the many people who exhibit it regularly, including one former Broadway star who wore literally the best thing ever on the Oscars runway. Then we get into a conversation on a 90210 revival, sending our thoughts to Luke Perry. Arya has to rant about Disneyland a little bit, and just the mere fact that she's getting used to being called "Arya". All this and more round out a Friday Night edition of Shaking and Crying!

Episode 15: You Need Jesus and Layers
22/02/2019 Duración: 55minArya Snark and Rob Roberts return for another week of Shaking and Crying. However could it be the end of the world as... gasp... there is SNOW in the Los Angeles area. And they say climate change isn't real! Well, perhaps Arya Snark will escape the cold climate of LA and make for warmer shores on the Golden Girls cruise in 2020. Oh yes, that's a thing. We also talk a little bit about the Drag Race finale too, because, well, it's like what the Oscars are for us at this point. Yeah we aren't really watching the Oscars this year. Also we will not be driving anywhere near that theater.

Episode 14: The Gayening
15/02/2019 Duración: 01h01minIs this thing on? Yup, after a hiatus we are BACK for a special valentines day rekindling of our podcast relationship! We talk a little bit about the break and why it happened, and take about a million tangent trains to different topics because of our time off. It happens to be a big "holiday" on the day of our reunion, but is it REALLY a holiday? We talk a bit about Valentines Day and what it means (or doesn't) to us. All this, some Broadway shows and yes... all these months later we are still shaking and crying about Disney.

03/05/2018 Duración: 01h01minFetch the smelling salts, Shaking and Crying has returned with an all new episode! We didn't mean for it to get so depressing, but certain movies and TV shows just give us the feels, ya know?

Also, you know Victoria has been getting her Disney on, and wants to talk about some of the Pixar events happening at the park, as well as the upcoming dapper days event she's getting ready for. Rob brings up a story on Targets having a pull up service to get items now. Are we sad that shopping as we know it is fading away, or are we happy we barely have to interact with anyone anymore??

Episode 11: How Many Episodes of Pawn Stars can one man Watch in a Day?
07/04/2018 Duración: 01h01minIt's been a long week for Victoria, so Rob starts off the show reflecting on some stories. Even though it ends in a homework assignment for the listeners, it is a reflection upon how much pageantry one can really get into on Interstate 5. We are back into news this week, where we talk about the Waze app getting some people into trouble on some crazy roads in LA. It might be best to LOOK at your route before you leap. No really, you might leap.

Episode 10: Dolphin Steaks
29/03/2018 Duración: 58minBoth an unexpected event and a pre-planned vacation cause our show to go on an unexpected week break, but we are back this week in a diversion of our usual format to unload on all of the events from the past couple weeks. After tons of tangents ranging from the World of Coke to WonderCon, we get to the Disney March Madness meme that has been going around the internet causing friendships to end. Seriously, who puts Cars 3 over Coco? Anyway, we do our own ranking and open ourselves to all the internet hate sure to come with it. Fun!

We get into some news which includes some not so great updates about Stan Lee and some of the allegations about what is going on with some of his finances as he gets older. We take time to talk STAR WARZ (yes, with a Z because we are edgy) and the Obamas possibly joining Netflix. It's a week full of chatter on an all new episode that will leave you... Shaking and Crying.

07/03/2018 Duración: 58minVictoria is back from Emerald City Comic Con to tell us some stories about her cosplay, a scary fall (but the dress is okay!), and a random drag show that happened to be that night. Random drag shows following Victoria when she travels- GO FIGURE. In the news, we talk about Uber and Lyft, and the amount of money people might REALLY be making on the service. Ya know, when you factor in all those other costs. What's the best way to maximize your profits come tax time? And hey, with that leftover money maybe you can afford to go to a dont-call-it-disney brunch!

Also, will we be watching the academy awards this weekend? Will gaming ever have an awards ceremony as prestigious as the academy awards or will the industry just never get one? In other news, Fahrenheit 451 is set to become a movie, which is going to be a GREAT excuse to talk about Victoria's big role in community theater. Tangents like this and more await on an all new episode!

Victoria talks a bit about the reboot of Queer Eye that just hit Netflix, while Rob talks about a new Muppets show rumored for Disney's online service. Will they turn EVERYTHING Disney into something for the service? It sure seems like it. Also, we talk about breakfast cereal! Nom Nom Nom... but is Rob a freak because of the way he eats his? You be the judge... and hear us respond to lots of your feedback this week too! (Thanks!)

Come and feel the love with Rob and Victoria as we talk about our weeks, including new diets and new spin classes involving SHOWTUNES. Also, those Olympic things are going on, but does anything else matter besides figure skating? Hmmm, we shall see. In the news, we talk about some big Disney changes including new rides, and new prices to go with those rides. Are we still crazy excited about Disney Parks, or will these price hikes keep us away? Also, could Daylight Savings Time stay on all year long so we could have one more hour of sunlight at the parks?

Episode 4: Bra of Choice
07/02/2018 Duración: 01h41sIn this episode we talk about porn! Okay now that we have your attention we should clarify it's the emotional porn of shows like America's Got Talent that keep us up so very very late at night. Something that gives Victoria feels is a team she doesn't like very much NOT winning the Super Bowl!

Episode 3: You're my Second Rate Ross Matthews!
31/01/2018 Duración: 53minOn this weeks episode featuring complete utter garbage people, Victoria took a very morbid trip over the weekend. However if you were paying attention last week perhaps it won't surprise you much after all. And also, did you know Rob is good at judging people? Yup he got asked to judge over the weekend as well. Then it's time for headlines, which includes a cast announcement for Celebrity Big Brother. How does Victoria do on a pop quiz on who these people actually are? Or does she even care or is she too busy packing for the upcoming Harry Potter Cruise?

Episode 2: Not the Brightest Bulb in the Tanning Bed
24/01/2018 Duración: 47minCat People and Dog People-- one of us is definitley in one column and the other the other. We start this week with discussion on our pets, which of course leads to just a tangent or two. Rob & Victoria get to the week's headlines including Amazon making a store that you can go into and pretend to steal things off the shelves and walk out! Too bad you still have to pay for it. What are they selling there anyway, and would we be interested? Then we talk about that Arts & Culture app that's gone crazy viral this week. Let's hope we can find some culture!

How do you reboot Lost when we all know how it ends though? And are we getting sick of all these reboots and remakes or do we forgive some?
