Episode 20: Fordian — I Mean Freudian — Slip
<html><p>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 the girls continue to digress. Very digression-heavy episode.<br/></p><p>Vicki admits she doesn't like Subarus, also, so she is prepared for her lesbian audience to throw stale vegetables at her.

Episode 18: First Ballot Can't Park There Hall Of Famer
<html><p>Hello! On this episode of Tran Girlismo, Jordan calls in from DA BIG APPLE BABY, which means our audio isn't quite as good as normal. Apologies in advance! We discuss the success of Jordan's art show and Victoria's photowalk; thank you to the incredible people of Pittsburgh and Seattle, the Transgender Paris and New York City of America, respectively (not to be confused with New York City, the Transgender Istanbul of America). </p><p>We then discuss one of the greatest Seattle Moments in recent memory, where someone drove their Mazda CX-5 so far down the Link light rail in Seattle they got stuck inside a station. If you're listening and that was you: Please stop driving! Forever! Next, we discuss Robby Starbuck's attempt to get Harley Davidson considered "woke" for the second time, and Victoria explains her disillusionment with pinkwashing after experiencing it up close. Finally, the girls discuss Stellantis, again. FaSTLAne2030, here we come. Christ. </p><p>Our intro theme as always is off of Stella Spazzatura's <a href="https://stellaspazzatura.bandcamp.com/album/horse-tranquilizer-simulator" target="_blank">Horse Tranquilizer Simulator!</a></p><p>Referenced Stories: <br/><a href="https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a71483251/mazda-driver-seattle-pulls-into-elevated-train-station-on-tracks/" target="_blank">Mazda CX-5 On Da Light Rail</a> @Road&Track (hey look ma my city made R&T!!!)<br/><a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article308679915.html" target="_blank">The incredible investigation of Brightline's death toll</a> @Miami Herald<br/><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2026/06/03/harley-davidson-anti-dei-campaign-fires-up-again/90361272007/" target="_blank">Harley Davidson Is Woke Again</a> @USAToday<br/><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/toyota-follows-growing-trend-companies-halting-dei-policies-initiatives" target="_blank">Toyota Drops "DEI"</a> @Fox Business<br/><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/nissan-becomes-latest-car-company-walk-back-woke-dei-practices-following-toyota-ford" target="_blank">Nissan Drops "DEI"</a> @Fox Business<br/><a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/inside-maga-fake-gay-motorcycle-war-harley-davidson-freakout-indian" target="_blank">Will Sommer's Analysis Of Harley War</a> @TheBulwark (groan)<br/><a href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/business/stellantis-primes-110-new-models-2030-%C2%A352bn-transformation-plan" target="_blank">FaSTLAne2030</a> @Autocar<br/><a href="https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/not-just-rebadging-stellantis-pledges-distinct-brands-despite-shared-tech" target="_blank">Emanuele Cappellano Interview</a> @Autocar<br/><a href="https://carbuzz.com/stellantis-one-platform-30-vehicles/" target="_blank">The Actual Correct Platform Segments (B, C, and D) For STLA One</a> @CarBuzz <br/><a href="https://www.topspeed.com/new-chrysler-airflow-teased-new-looks/" target="_blank">Chrysler Airflow Spotted</a> @TopSpeed<br/><a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/chrysler-ev-suv-production-airflow-concept-interview" target="_blank">Original Airflow Concept</a> @MotorTrend<br/><a href="https://x.com/Motor1com/status/2061806898618233196" target="_blank">AI-Generated RAM Shirt</a> @Motor1's X Account</p></html>
