A viral FreshAndFit podcast episode sparked outrage when eight participants justified Hitler's Holocaust actions and escalated to openly advocating Jewish genocide, with one responding, "We must kill these motherf**kers" when asked how to target Jews.

The controversial episode included participants stating "he [Hitler] had to do what he had to do," and justifying Nazi actions. They made inflammatory claims suggesting Jews caused their own persecution: "the Jews probably did something to the Germans... they started it," one stated, while another declared, "He was trying to save the world" regarding Hitler's actions.

Social media erupted with condemnation of the dangerous normalization of antisemitic rhetoric, as participants moved from justifying historical atrocities to advocating violence without apparent concern for consequences. The incident has raised troubling questions about the direction of American youth and their grasp of historical reality.
