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.

Episode 26: Now With 100% More D&B
Hello! In this episode, Jordan discusses driving her new Corvette (spoilers: it's good)! Then she explains that she watched some Throttle House, and dissects where her tepid optimism for the newest reboot of Top Gear with those guys running it. Then it's time for a rare Jordan Angry Episode, as the girls dive into the failures of the W Series and F1 Academy to produce literally any meaningful advancement for women in racing at all, on the heels of Maya Weug's public posts about her career's dead-end. Finally, Victoria tried Wreckfest 2 Early Access because her wife refurbished her computer. Unfortunately, it's not what she was hoping for, and she's not sure it's going to get fixed.Victoria would like to apologize for her audio being a bit off; she has no clue why the gain got changed on her mic after her computer was refurbished, and she tried repeatedly to fix it but could not. She will fix it next week!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!BIG ENORMOUS NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND WOULD LIKE TO HANG OUT THIS WEEKEND, THE GIRLS WILL BE AT AS YOU ARE (THE GAY BAR) AT 8 PM EASTERN TIME ON SATURDAY, 8/22/26.

Episode 25: We Gotta Give The Government Acronym Guys A Raise
Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, Victoria goes Wonk Mode, as it is her natural response to environmental stressors such as wildfire smoke and extreme heat that was gripping the state of Washington last week. First: What's The Deal With The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, amirite folks? No but seriously we're running out of oil to pull from it, it turns out, and the impact on the oil market will be... almost certainly not good.Next, Victoria explains that if you do nothing but deplete war materiel for four straight years, you eventually run out of war materiel. Then you gotta buy more. It turns out that every American car company (but especially GM), fresh out of ideas about how to make cars, wants to get in on that sweet, sweet gravy train, probably at the expense of any of us ever being able to afford a car again. (Victoria apologizes for making this episode a little TrashFuture-y but she just guested and she had a lot of fun so it felt like a good way to take it.)Finally, and by far the most fun, JORDAN. ANNOUNCES. HER. NEW. FUN. CAR. It is not exactly congruent with the material conditions of America but hey a girl's gotta have a little hope, right?IF YOU WOULD LIKE TRAN GIRLISMO SHIRTS OR STICKERS: store.trangirlismo.com is open again until August 31st!As always, our opening theme is off Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura and our editor is Alex, aka Harmful Park!Referenced Stories:Strategic Petroleum Reserve Quick Facts @US DOEMarch 11th Chris Wright Announcement @US DOECurrent Crude Stocks In SPR @US EIACongress and DOE Need a Unified Plan to Align Priorities and Investments for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve @US Government Accountability OfficeSPR Under Stress @CNBCOperational Floor of the SPR @BloombergUS Refinery Capacity Utilization + Chris Wright Comments @EnergyNowUS Average Gas Gallon Cost @AAABob McNally Interview @EnergyNowCENTCOM Claims/Ghost Shipping Estimates @BloombergGlobal Reserves Exhaustion Estimates @US EIAChevron Profit Quadruples @CNBCMike Stone Defense Industry Feature @ReutersSpending On Ukrainian Defense @Council on Foreign RelationsHegseth Budget @The GuardianCastelion Blackbeard Contract @Castelion<a href="https://www.wsj.

The Girls Watch Fast and Furious, a Patreon Preview
Hi folks!No new episode this week so the girls (and Alex!) could have a week off and take care of some stuff. But, I figured what better time to bring maybe my favorite of our bonus episodes in front of the paywall as a little showcase of what we do for those folks who don't subscribe!This is a movie commentary track, so you will need to source your own copy of The Fast and Furious, and I think it's a goofy good time! So, if you're a free subscriber, enjoy, and I hope you take a chance on supporting us. Love y'all, thanks for a crazy six months!
