Episode 32: Apologies, Francis Bourgeois, I Was Not Familiar With Your Game
Hello and welcome to another episode of Tran Girlismo! On this episode, Jordan rounds up the racing season as it comes to its conclusion. Then, the girls watch the new Grand Tour; as you can predict, one of them is a downer about it. (Spoilers though: Francis rocks.) The two of them discuss the new BMW 3 Series (in gas, yet again), and then Jordan fills us in on her latest pleasure cruise exploring the Allegheny Mountains.
AS A REMINDER FOR SEATTLE PEEPS: If you want to attend a really cool queer car meet and say hi to Victoria, come swing on by Mose Auto (700 S Orchard St, Seattle, WA 98108) from 2-6 PM in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood, where she'll be tabling for her day job at TRACTION!
And of course as always, the girls' opening theme is from Horse Tranquilizer Simulator by Stella Spazzatura, and they are kept out of going to prison forever by the wonderful Alex/Harmful Park, who is available for work and you should hire, too!

The only good road I have found in PA so far was PA 666, since it was on the way to Pittsburgh. Haven't had much chance to explore other roads in the State, although West Virginia has amazing backroads, very underrated. Also, I only went to Knoxville, Tennessee because of that Simpsons skit. But I was surprised by how Queer folk there was; I would recommend it if you're in the area. It's also pretty close to the Tail of the Dragon.
“In EVs analog gauges are impossible” No they aren’t. You still having spinning fucking shafts
I get the criticism, I think theres an episode later in the order that really worked better. the thing about this is this is a show I can sit down and watch with my parents and they're actually engaged which is getting rare today with everything either being 1 season and done, or another cop show like bluebloods or NCIS:Everywhere it seems like the show did well enough amazon is going to give them another season so hopefully they get to touch the format and really do what they want now that its launched
Re: gas and electric cars sharing bodies On the one hand, it can help carry forward an existing design language into the EV lines, and provide economies of scale for shared components. On the other hand, my Volvo C40 has a transmission tunnel.
This show is great and for me at least the future of car media is two trans women talking (and bitching) about stuff. Its real and relatable and if the grand tour learned any of that it would be better off. <3
December moved to the top of the name list when y'all introduced me to November Kelly in ep 2. I'm also in a discord w an October which is kinda fun :-)
As a rare map-brained American, the Grim Oil Rants caused me to start habitually checking liveuamap again and I can now report that the Houthis have encircled the city of Taiz which seems to be the last major city before Aden
So, you know, im sure Saudi Arabia is totally gonna win this, any day now, surely.
Hears *"TNG",* stares at phone. I did NOT start Jesse Gender!?! :) You should have her on for ST:any takes 😁
I do get Victoria's criticism of it. I hate how I had to watch it on Amazon for instance that my wife had forgotten to cancel, I hate how nothing is affordable anymore. But because I was already a fan of the three of them, I was just happy to see more content from them, especially together. Yeah it was a bit awkward, but I did really enjoy it, and hope they get more of a chance at it. Although I really don't want to give Jeff Amazon another £10 or whatever for a month of Prime again. I really wish it was just Throttle House featuring Francis if that was at all possible.
Oh FUCK I just got the May-December romance joke!!! Jordan, you clever minx…
FYI, GDL means "Guadalajara" because if I spell it out then I can't get anything else into the name. Yes, I live in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It's so fucking awesome here. I live about four blocks from Avenida Chipultipec, which has been called "the Queerest Street in Mexico". So yeah, if you're in Guadalajara and you listen to Tran Girlismo, DM / email me for meetup details!
Good to have an explanation, because googling “GDL Meaning” for me came up with a type of driver’s license and an antisemitic hate group so I came looking in the comments to see if there was a different meaning!
(@5:16) LOVE YOU TWO 💖 (and everyone behind the scenes to make the show possible) New episode drops are one of the shiny moments of happy in my week, macro-level YEAH THINGS AREN'T GREAT but micro-level I'm just happy to be in this bucket with y'all :)
pls call the Top Gear bonus episodes Kill Jeremy Clarkson, thanks
Definitely feel Victoria's jeep sticker shock. I have to do something similar for my 01 Jeep WJ😮💨
Speaking of Homestuck, y’all have read “Gideon The Ninth” right? If not, you should check it out. It’s got swords and lesbians and stuff.
I once described Gideon the Ninth as "In the Warhammer 40K universe, a cozy murder happens" [complimentary]
On the subject of the new 3 series, has nobody noticed that the interior is absolute doodoo ass garbage? Like they took all of Tesla's worst ideas and ran with it. I, for one, will not be buying one of these in 15 years when it's fully depreciated.
My guess at the "There will cum soft trans" is it is a joke on the Ray Bradbury short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Will_Come_Soft_Rains_(short_story)
Combined with the obvious joke of hey, go on E and you can't get hard anymore but depending on your HRT load-out, can still cum
Regarding the new Grand Tour, I entirely agree with all of Victoria’s criticisms and found myself enjoying it at least as much as Jordan. If anything, I was enjoying it -more- for meta reasons of seeing the new boys’ personalities peek out from around the archaic show structure now and then. [but jfc, the “kei pride” gag was a way worse version of the already-cringe gag in Throttle House’s F355 video] I’d welcome another season, but have plenty Throttle House to tide myself over with until then. …just nobody show Victoria the episode of TNG where Riker falls in love with an enby who then gets sent to the reeducation brainwashing gulag…
“Next week more oil.” *My vision has a picture of Drakes Well fade in*
It'd be very funny if during the race in Italy the weather would have a normal one and dump like 5 inches of snow on that part of Italy. It's not that unlikely, iirc it happened the last two years in a row xD
Seeing Francis in the fisheye on my algorithm a year or so ago was invigorating! Earnest enjoyment with a new… perspective. Didn’t know he was this popular now and am disappointed to hear he was caricatured by the writers/attempted 2005ness.
I feel like 90ish% of car youtube is either we wanna be Top Gear or we wanna be Roadkill.
Im glad my names spark strong emotions every week. But i actually do have fuckin bugs in my Prius C from shoving two 100lb haybales in the back. Happy Halloween ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I, too, have experienced a few BMW Reliability Moments at a Western PA gas station in my old hand-me-down 7 series. people are very kind around there
Yall’s show is always the highlight of my Thursday evening
ngl bringing up the gellar thing really fucked up my evening lmao
Sorry, we have both been really upset about it too :(

Anybody watch the Garfield and Friends cartoon back in the day where he was always trying to mail that runt kitten Nermal in box to Abu Dhabi? I'd pay good money to someone to photoshop Nermal onto a Houthi rebel flag.
While I can't find a good flag for the Houthis, here'sal a link to Nermal with the Abu Dhabi flag: https://bsky.app/profile/notimetoday.northsky.social/post/3mxi4gvqeb22v
You two are fantastic and doing a wonderful job. The world is shit. Losing a parent is extremely shitty, I've done it too.
good episode two thumbs up you should talk about the lincoln mark viii
Hey Victoria! It be cool to see a new patreon banner with you posing with the jeep. XD
