Great American Sh*t Show

Great American Sh*t Show

Season 2 is coming. Each week, your host, Steven Vargas, will be going over the complexities of our society. Not only will he be taking down people on the right, but people on the left. How the opposition party has all but lied down. Spouting Bible versus and wagging their finger like we took too many cookies. We will be looking into many of the beliefs MAGA clings to and why Democrats shouldn't be looking for help across the aisle. There is a lot of blame to go around. That's what he's here for. New episodes come every Friday, starting March 7, 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This short is not just a status of the podcasts, but an update as to what is going on with me personally. My life has been turned upside down and I have to make some serious changes, quickly. I am trying to be as transparent as possible. So, I will tell you what has been going on, what I need to do, and the help you can provide.


Please listen to the full 10-minute episode and decide then. This is a call to action to help a broth...

As we move into the second season of Great American Sh*t Show, it is important to remember our past. I consider this is a hard reset of this podcast. The re-airing of the first original episodes illustrates the direction of this and future seasons.

Great American Shit Show is returning. In this preview of what is to come, we discuss why the long delay, the new direction of the show, and some of the discussions that are coming. Not only will we be dressing down with MAGA, but the liberals, as well as FAFO crowd, not doing anything. Just rolling over. There is a lot of ground to cover this season.


New episodes arrive in March.

The original plan was to release this the Wednesday after the election. However, it took me some time to find the words and the ability to put those feelings into something cohesive. I did the best job I could, and I am upset.

With the push to more conservative values, an influx of social media content creators are pushing a “traditional wife” concept, known more as “trad wife”. The concept attempts to try and make a fetish for wives of the fifties, but has a darker under current.

As the 2024 election is getting down the final three months, TikTok is the new Facebook with people attempting to spread disinformation about the Democratic presidential nominee. However, a generation that grew up on social media platforms are taking the fight to them.

It has been a New York minute since I did a new episode. This week, it is a bit off script. A lot has happened in the last week or so, and I have a lot of thoughts. Some things we’re not supposed to discuss and a lot of things we need to discuss. This is a bit of a rant, but I do have a few points to make. Indulge me with my first episode back.

It has been a hot minute since I released an episode. Here is an update as to what’s been going on during that time, some changes, and my mental health issues that have been taking over.


I didn’t expect to make this a long one, but it definitely came out that way. Kind of surprised how much I had on my mind.

Introducing The Gen-Xer Pod. This is the other podcast that I do, which sole purpose is to prove that not all Generation X are idiots. This is designed to give context to the least spoken about generation. How the “live and let live” generation is being co-opted by anything that insults Trump is weak. Very much anti-generation x.

The conclusion of my two-part diatribe about the 2016 Presidential Election. After looking into this (again), I think I could make this a deep dive at a later point. Maybe get into it leading up to the 2024 election. Look into this as well as the 2020 election.

Lots of changes happened in the last week. I’ll explain them in the episode. The bulk of the episode is a “throwback”. Sort of. I originally recorded this episode back in 2021 and discussed what happened in the 2016 election. Part one will focus on what actually happened in the run-up to the election. Part two will delve into all the conspiracy theories about it.


You can tell it was early on, especially in the quality of the epi...

I start off some of my standalone episode with about the voters. When you hear politicians saying that “voters are smart”, they don’t mean it. They feed on your ignorance to maintain their power. Especially if they are older than the Ten Commandments.

As the eclipse comes to an end, there was so much religious and conspiratorial nonsense leading up to it. This week, we get into some of the conspiracies and wonder where it comes from. This was a last minute add-on and next week we will return to our regularly scheduled episode.

The conclusion of our Modern GOP series with “Epilogue”. This is sort of an afterword about the Republican Party after the events of January 7. Lots of clips of hypocrisy going back to the Obama years. I hope you enjoyed this mini-series. Next week (and for the next couple of weeks), I will be doing some one off episodes before I begin my next deep dive.

The final prepared installment of the Modern GOP, “The MAGA Movement” is the ultimate evolution of the fringe taking control. Elements of the Goldwater Party can be seen in the current movement of MAGA and their leader Donald Trump.

 A little over a decade, the media forgets that there was a prelude to the MAGA movement: the Tea Party. What has been portrayed as a “grassroots movement” by the lazy media, it was anything but. Started by corporations to obstruct any legislation that would be counter to a Libertarian – pro business culture. Many of the prominent conservatives were elected through the Tea Party movement: Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and ...

In 1992, President George HW Bush was denied a second term as president. It was mostly blamed on a charismatic billionaire that called himself a ‘maverick”. That billionaire was Ross Perot. Many rank and file Republicans turned on Bush due to his failure to keep his one campaign promise: “no new taxes.”


This drove voter turnout against the incumbent and elected a southern Democrat, former Arkansas governor, Bill Clinton. Due to ...
