Episode 31: Tran Girlismo Is An Anagram For Grim Oil...

Tran Girlismo ·

2026/10/01

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

Episode 30: The Oil Crisis Special

Tran Girlismo ·

2026/09/24

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi folks!No new episode this week so the girls (and Alex!) could have a week off and take care of some stuff.

Hello! In this episode of Tran Girlismo, we finally dig into the Slate Truck. We both do not like it. Next up, President Deals decides to destroy his own trade deal because we live under textual fascism! Weirdly, we both have complicated feelings about this, because it turns out that global trade and American imperialism are not clear-cut issues. Finally, Jordan explains that Ferrari has invented a Real Fake Manual and Victoria can't decide if it's good or not but it sure is some shit Baudrillard

Hello! In this somehow-we've-recorded-20-episodes twentieth episode, the girls discuss Jordan's immediate EV Struggles on her first road trip in her new-to-her Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV and we immediately digress into the economy of Sandusky, Ohio. First off, Porsche isn't selling us their prettiest car anymore. Then, Lucid loses thousands more workers after losing a billion dollars. Seems bad! Then Ford introduces their new ST Sinister package (bad. very bad) and shows off their new EV truck (good?) and
