Episode 30: The Oil Crisis Special

<html><p>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. </p><p>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 <em>not </em>just fall from the coconut tree, so to speak. </p><p>The girls wrap things up by dunking on the new Saudi Arabian Ceer car company.
