Oh Jesus - here we go. You guys wanted hard hitting thoughts - and we got ‘em! We’re two girls, of a little color, going off the rails. And we’ve landed nowhere!This episode is allegedly about Trader Sam’s but lemme tell ya - we’ve got a whole lot more than that coming your way. Can’t wait for you to get the whole scoop about;Thoughts on The Weeknd *BEFORE* his horribly sexist/extremely cringey show The Idol Our face shapes and what we think about ‘em??Only SOME of the cars in the movie CARS having racial identitiesWhat if we replaced the Trader Joe’s Hawaiian shirts with other tasteful representations, like a Wakanda tshirt with the printed necklace on itAnd yes, we talk about the giant squid tentacles that are triggered by getting the fancy Trader Sam’s drinks.—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For any questions, thoughts, or snack review requests, email us at Girlsofftherails@gmail.comWanna see what the girls are up to?

In this episode of Girls Off the Rails, Rachel and DeAnna recount their August 2022 visit to the one and only Bubba Gump Shrimp (skrimp?) Co. in the Universal Citywalk. Again, in case you forgot, we stuck to the classics: we came, we ate (shrimp and drank blue drinks), and we left. Isn’t that what life’s all about?In the next hour and then some, you’ll hear about:Dee’s aqua socks mixupSpeculation about the *ahem* private parts of various animals, alive and extinctDee unboxing Rachel’s gift that she kept insisting was “not a big deal and part of it is kind of a joke” Shrimp, and our immeasurable love for itThe controversy of monkeys entering the stone age, but other animals that use tools somehow aren’t?Universal Studio Hollywood’s Citywalk - not even the actual theme park, because we were too broke for that So - join us! It’s gonna be… fun?—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For any questions, thoughts, or snack review requests, email us at Girlsofftherails@gmail.comWanna see what the girls are up to?

The girls discuss Country Bear Jamboree, and let's just say, it's a wild ride! They're not sure if it's good but they are sure that it was real. Rachel maybe like animatronic taxidermy. It's another throwback episode.

The girls are learning how tough it can be to be a bug! Or rather, how scary! Um, they come, they eat, they leave much? The girls are reunited in Chicago and talk to engineer Brok about how scared he and Rachel are of this ride.

The Girls are reunited in Chicago and they're taking that opportunity to record as much as possible! We discuss how many times we've lost this episode, how this ride is MAYBE being closed, and how absolutely freakin terrifying this ride is. It's a good one, I hope you enjoy!

Guess what Girls, this episode was also recorded a year ago! We get to reminisce on the time that we knew nothing about Guardians and apparently barely knew Rocket was a raccoon. We added a contemporary intro and outro to give updates and talk a bit about Dee's visit last year.

The Girls were reunited in Chicago! ALMOST 1 YEAR AGO! Since then they have moved across the country. Dee is in Chicago and Rachel is in LA, and they have been trying to get settled! This ep takes place on the strangest day ever, Roe V. Wade was overturned! And we ignore it in the ep! Enjoy!
