"We're taking a real good look at youse...we're taking some real good looks at your FACE..." – Eugene S. Robinson 31.05.2026

Version 417 of The Show Stomper starts with this week’s Circle Jerks/punk self-congratulation mess, then widens into the bigger problem Eugene keeps circling all hour: what happens when truth stops mattering, everyone starts congratulating themselves too early, and the same old rot keeps showing up in new costumes. Punk scenes, MAGA chuds, Trump, The Bald One, tariffs, the Kennedy Center, MMA burnout, Spain, fatherhood, money, survival, and more – join us for the full Show Stomper experience.

In case you missed V.416, or in case you saw it and still need the damage broken into smaller pieces, here are three clips from this week’s Show Stomper: Eugene on the UFC running on nostalgia, the surprisingly short list of actual heavy metal singers, and that clip up above – that’s the outrageous intro that somehow remains its own separate event after more than 400 episodes.

Since 2013, June M. Williams of orijunel designs has handled podcast production, videography, syndication, graphics, and logos for The Eugene S. Robinson Show Stomper.

June has been creating and freelancing since 1986 and is currently accepting new projects. Reach out at [email protected].

"OZY'S dead. Not a surprise. But the UFC too? And the UNITED States of America? Is this the trifecta of terror? Maaayybbeee..." – Eugene S. Robinson 24.05.2026

Five years after OZY fired him for starting the Substack that still won’t die, Eugene looks back at Carlos “Craplos” Watson, commuted consequences, unsigned NDAs, old grudges, and the strange satisfaction of outlasting the people who tried to shut him up. Along the way: UFC nostalgia, MMA-adjacent desperation, Trump-era institutional rot, cheap Spanish healthcare, bad backs, open wounds, and one inversion table catastrophe. V.416 is about what survives when the things we thought were permanent start falling apart.

– It's Time Again For The Eugene S. Robinson Show Stomper!!!

"We're sitting in a stadium of people who want to get the joke. Waiting to get it. STILL waiting..." – Eugene S. Robinson 05.17.2026

The fights suck. Comedy sucks. Culture feels increasingly like a hostage situation where everybody knows the joke is dead but keeps waiting for permission to stop laughing. In this week’s Show Stomper, Eugene digs into race, performance, hack comedy, public humiliation as entertainment, and the strange transactional despair sitting underneath modern “fun.”
