Eugene Update: He's Not Tapping Out

Eugene Update: He's Not Tapping Out

Hey all, A lot of you probably noticed there was no newsletter [https://eugenesrobinson.substack.com/] and no regular show activity this week. It’s been quiet here at the Show Stomper because I’ve been waiting for clear information and direction from Eugene’s family before saying anything publicly. Kasia, Eugene’s wife, has now told me Eugene wants people to know what’s been going on… There is no easy way to say this, Eugene suffered a brain stroke over the weekend. He is currently in a hospital in Malaga, Spain, that specializes in this kind of care. Kasia has been able to get to him. He has people who love him at his side. He is alive and conscious. He is mentally present. He recognizes and responds accurately to conversation. He is mobile, can walk, and can grab and pick things up. I have also heard that he underwent a procedure for the clot to be cleared today. Right now, the biggest thing is that he cannot talk yet. NO speech right now. For anyone who knows Eugene - or has ever listened to five minutes of him - you know how surreal and terrifying that is. This is a man built out of words with nuance and meaning, wild stories, brilliant arguments, clever jokes, riffs, musical prowess and sheer force of will. So yes, this is serious. It is scary. It is a lot. But there is also real hope here. Kasia said the doctor seemed positive that with the right treatment and therapy, he should be able to recover. She also asked him about updating the audience, and he made it clear that yes, he wants people to know now. Her words were: “Let people know to wait for him, because he’ll be back.” So that’s what this is… Wait for him. He’s not tapping out. HE WILL BE BACK. For now, Stomper may be paused or irregular while everyone figures out next steps. We’ll update you when there is more to share and when Kasia/Eugene are ready for more details to be made public. Rest assured he has a helluva story to tell and will be back to share it, as soon as he is able to. In the meantime, please use the comments here to leave messages for Eugene. Love, encouragement, support, memories, jokes, music, photos, fight stories, weird little Stomper things - whatever you think might help remind him how many people are out here pulling for him. This post can be the place where the Stomper community gathers around him for now. Leave him something good to read when he’s ready.If you wish to send him something private or long form, I have set up a dedicated email account just for that purpose. Send those to: heymisterrobinson@gmail.com [heymisterrobinson@gmail.com]. [http://heymisterrobinson@gmail.com/] That’s hey mister robinson (all one word) at gmail.Please do not use this as a place for speculation, weird internet medical advice, random theories, or pressure on the family for more information. They are dealing with an enormous amount right now. I promise to keep you all updated. Again… Eugene is NOT tapping out – he will be back! We will let you know in time about possible donations, still waiting for confirmation on that from the family right now.

Who Benefits? The V.421 Reel Roundup

V.421 keeps circling the question Eugene won’t let go of: who benefits? This week’s reel roundup pulls together three sharp cuts from the paid episode, moving from Nate Bargatze’s UFC appearance to Ari Emanuel, Endeavor, TKO, celebrity positioning, and the machinery behind the spectacle. The free preview [https://youtu.be/OT_mdeyKvsE] set the table, but these clips get into the real argument: when famous people take public turns toward power, access, and consequence, somebody is always benefiting.

V.421: If You Have a Racist Friend...Um...Yeah, Maybe Whatever... On The Eugene S. Robinson Show Stomper!

"Aren't people entitled to be as stupid as they want for as long as they want? WithOUT us signing off on it?" – Eugene S. Robinson 28.06.2026 V.421 finds Eugene circling one deceptively simple question: who benefits? From Nate Bargatze’s UFC-side photo op to 50 Cent chasing access, Fallon yukking it up with a convicted anal rapist, Ari Emanuel’s machinery humming in the background, and the looming weirdness of what Eugene keeps calling Nuremburg November™ (take a drink); this week’s Show Stomper is less about any single bad choice than the pattern underneath them. Are these public figures true believers, cynical opportunists, useful idiots, or just people stepping into history with their eyes wide shut?The first 20mins are free, the show runs an hour or so... In the full episode, this week Eugene follows the thread from public celebrity choices into the machinery behind them: Ari Emanuel, Endeavor, UFC, TKO, access, consequence, and the eternal question of who benefits. ______________ Support the Show 💰 PayPal: pinko95014@yahoo.com 💰 CashApp: eugene-robinson-28 💰 Venmo: PlanetOxbow 💰 Zelle: OX_bow@hotmail.com Subscribe 👉 ShowStomper.substack.com (The Show) 👉 EugeneSRobinson.substack.com (The Newsletter) Follow Eugene 📱 TikTok 🎵: @The.ShowStomper 📷 Instagram: @MrSleep3 🐦 Twitter: @EugeneSRobinson 📘 fb: stompville More Content?

Failed UFC Stewardship / No More Fight Politics / UFC Is The Red-Light District of Sports | The Show Stomper – V.420 Reel Roundup

Three clips from V.420 of The Eugene S. Robinson Show Stomper: why Dana White’s failure of stewardship helped turn the Oof-C (UFC) into something harder to defend; why Eugene just wants the fights without the politics, weigh-in shoving, family insults, and promotional trash; and why the UFC may now be closer to the red-light district of sports than a serious fight league.
