Episode 31: Tran Girlismo Is An Anagram For Grim Oil Rants
Hello! On this episode of Grim Oil Rants (apologies/thanks to our wonderful friend of the show Nathaniel for stealing this bit from him), the girls just want to have fun, but they can't. Degrowth Don is back at it again, so it's time for an (admittedly more limited than last weeks') analysis of the diesel market. Then, the feds decide that since fuel prices are so low it's a great time to abolish CAFE in a way that Victoria thinks might actually make the entire market balloon more in size, and NHTSA admits will cost us more in fuel. Great.Finally, Jordan plays a really good video game that can never happen again because Electronic Arts is too busy bonesawing small studios they purchase to make Infinite Money with Zero Employees. Victoria especially would like to extend her genuine apologies for another oil-based downer episode but wow she is feelin' it this week. The uplifting, fun episode is the bonus this time. Sorry y'all.As always, our opening theme is off Stella Spazzatura's Horse Tranquilizer Simulator and our fantastic editor who keeps us out of prison is Alex aka Harmful Park, who is looking for work and you should hire to work on your podcast too!Referenced Stories: Trump Considers Blowing Up Entire Economy For Fun @ReutersTrump Does Not Understand How Red Dye Works @Reuters Trump Admin Rolls Back CAFE To Pre-Biden @NPR892 Pages Of Bullshit @NHTSA Victoria's Extensive Reporting On The Footprint Rule @The DriveTesla's Easy Money Ends @Reuters

[PREVIEW] BONUS Episode 8: Le Mans (1971) (or: The Most Haunted Man To Ever Drive A Race Car)

Episode 30: The Oil Crisis Special
In this episode of Tran Girlismo, the girls correct the trajectory of the past "we're so back" episodes with one that affirms, no, really, "it's so over". Jordan briefly tries to distract Victoria with the good that is IMSA at IMS, and while that was fun, she cannot stop the It's So Over tsunami that is eight pages of oil crisis notes. First, the girls cover the absolutely hilarious backstory of the Freedom Fuels... business (legally, they cannot call it a scam), before Victoria puts on her WTYP hat and breaks down the history of Yemen. It turns out that the entire world fucked over this country of 35 million for basically going on 100 years and the current oil-crisis-inducing Houthi situation did not just fall from the coconut tree, so to speak. The girls wrap things up by dunking on the new Saudi Arabian Ceer car company. Please email all professional bonesaw appointment scheduling to trangirlismo@gmail.com. CALL TO ACTION: If you are looking for ways to help the trans community and have some spare time we would love more volunteers at TRACTION! If you have spare space you'd be willing to let a trans refugee crash in (especially if you're in the Puget Sound region) please sign up to be part of our Couch Network! If you have money to spare, we also would love donations! I will probably be putting together a big fundraising marathon once things slow down slightly in my life! As always, our intro theme is from the wonderful Stella Spazzatura off her album Horse Tranquilizer Simulator, and our editor is the fantastic (and available for more work) Alex aka Harmful Park! Our special edition image is President George W. Bush addressing the American people about the invasion of Iraq, with Smoliv next to him. Because, you know, Smoliv is full of oil.

Episode 29: IT'S A JEEP THING AND I SEEK TO UNDERSTAND [with Guest Cora Goodwin]
Hello! On this episode, the girls are joined by their friend Cora Goodwin (who you can find nowadays on Instagram), who basically invented half the car culture the two of them grew up with. (You might remember Cora from the Zero Fucks Given RX-7 or the Turbo Trolls-Royce builds if you liked Matt Farah as a teenager and you're about the girls' ages). The girls had written notes but rapidly threw them out the window as the conversation took on a life of its own.(Victoria's Note: For the geopolitics sickos, next week's episode will be a return to form.)The discussion (roughly) covers the Focus ST, Civic Si, VICTORIA'S FIRST CAR IN YEARS, HER NEW JEEP [air horn sounds dot wav], being transgender and figuring out your deal, the Morgan Aero 8, hydrogen-powered cars, and how to help your community. It was meandering.Anyway, check out these sick-ass pics of Vicki and her new Jeep taken by Friend Of The Show and photographer Sula Griggs: (Victoria's Note: Thank you all for your support, this Jeep is pretty much possible because of this Patreon. I will be relentlessly talking about what I'm going to do with and to it in the near future on the show and I promise I will use having a vehicle to do as much good as I can!) As always, our opening theme is off Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura and our editor is the fantastic Alex/Harmful Park, who you should hire to edit your show, too!

Episode 28: 9/11 Comes Earlier Every Year [with Guest Rob Zacny]
Hello! This week the girls are joined by Rob Zacny, cofounder of Remap Radio, host of Star Wars podcast A More Civilized Age, and panelist on F1 podcast Shift+F1! The girls had a bunch of notes written out but immediately got distracted for almost three hours. Sorry about that. We discuss Mazda, the catfish Chevrolet Camaro, living at a race track, generational trauma of The Sports Car You Missed Out On, revving for 9/11, the narrative complexity of Codemasters' F1 series, getting your wife to sim-race, Dire Straits,Our opening theme as always is off the album Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura and thank you as always to our wonderful editor Alex (@nohopeoverkill.com on Bsky)!Referenced Stories:Pedestrian Safety by Victoria @Motor1.comCar Bloat by Victoria @The DriveThe girls actually didn't really have any sources for this episode because it's like three hours of riffs.

Episode 27: Penske Purgatory AKA The Freedom 250
Howdy everyone! We did it, we recorded our final thoughts on the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington D.C.This episode is fully focused on the race, our experiences at it, and how we sorted through our feelings in the days afterwards. We want to welcome all of our new listeners who found us through Youtube or our threads on Bluesky about our time on the ground, and we once again want to thank all of our Patrons as we literally couldn't have done this without y'all.I also want to thank everyone who came out to our meetup Saturday night, as it was maybe the one redeeming part of the whole weekend! As always, our opening theme is off Stella Spazzatura's Horse Tranquilizer Simulator, and our editor (who you should hire!!!!) is Alex aka Harmful Park!

[PREVIEW] 2 Tran 2 Girlismo: A Movie Commentary Bonus Episode
Howdy howdy! The other thing we recorded together in D.C. during our trip to the Freedom 250 was our second movie commentary for the Fast and Furious franchise! The girls crowded around Jordan's laptop in their hotel room, cracked some modelos, and buckled into John Singleton's 2 Fast 2 Furious, a movie we both liked a whole lot actually! This one is really silly goofy fun, so I think you'll have fun. We watched on Netflix, so sync us up to 0.00 on Netflix, or just understand that we might be a few seconds fast or slow for you. I think next month the aim is to do another listener questions bonus, but who knows, maybe we watch Tokyo Drift together instead. Thanks again for all the support patrons, without it we literally couldn't have done this trip. Look forward to the full report on our thoughts on the next mainline episode, and remember that our merch store is open for preorders until the end of the month!

Tran Girlismo: Live From D.C. Emergency Minisode
Hi folks! We survived! Just after the Freedom 250, Victoria, Jordan, and their wives all gathered and recorded their thoughts on the race in the immediate aftermath of the race. While we filmed this for the YouTube channel Youtube.com/@trangirlismo we wanted to put this up on the audio only feed as well, just to make sure no one misses it. Audio quality is gonna be a bit weird since it was recorded off a shotgun microphone, but it was worth it to get this out ASAP Spoilers? It sucked! For mostly completely avoidable reasons!Further thoughts, a full rundown of our weekend, and more on this week's full episode.
