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 28.06.2026V.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: [email protected]💰 CashApp: eugene-robinson-28💰 Venmo: PlanetOxbow💰 Zelle: [email protected]👉 ShowStomper.substack.com (The Show)👉 EugeneSRobinson.substack.com (The Newsletter)Follow Eugene📱 TikTok 🎵: @The.ShowStomper📷 Instagram: @MrSleep3🐦 Twitter: @EugeneSRobinson📘 fb: stompvilleMore Content?Ask Euge – The Stomper Mailbag: https://showstomper.substack.com/s/ask-euge-viewer-mailbag-reelsEvery Wednesday Eugene replies to viewer questions.
