Right-wing dating podcast Fresh & Fit embraces Holocaust denial

A misogynistic podcast that describes itself as “the #1 men’s podcast in the world” hosted white supremacist Nick Fuentes for multiple hourslong streams during which he denied the Holocaust.

The Fresh & Fit podcast is a central platform of the “manosphere” and describes itself as covering “females, fitness, and finances.” The hosts, Why Women Deserve Less author Myron Gaines and dating and lifestyle coach Walter Weekes, regularly spew misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and demean a panel of young women who appear on the show’s “After Hours” streams.

But during streams on July 7 and 10 (which went past midnight into July 11), the show pivoted to full-blown Holocaust denial and extreme antisemitism. These themes were acknowledged in the title of the streams, with one called “Nick Fuentes, Destiny, Sneako & JonZherka DEBATE The JQ🛎️!” and the other “Holocaust Debate Prompts Matrix To END Show?!”

The “JQ,” or the “Jewish Question,” is an antisemitic framework that posits the Jewish diaspora is a “problem that needed to be solved.” It provided a pretext for the Nazi government to undermine the freedoms of Jewish Germans, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

During one of the streams featuring Fuentes, Myron Gaines bragged, “We’re the biggest platform that’s talking about the JQ. No one else will do it.”
