Quartering says he wants to have Nick Fuentes on his show but Nick has blocked him.
The first Monday that Quarterpounder was vacationing in Hawaii earlier in the year, Hannah Claire Brimelow brought Rebecca Hargraves (ie. Blonde formerly of the Matt & Blonde Show) on as a guest panelist.
Blonde is arguably one or two degrees removed from Fuentes. She RTs him occasionally and admits on her show to watching his show. She also admitted on her own podcast that she fears crossing the Groypers in anyway because of their wrath.
Her newish podcast The Backlash also features Vincent James, formerly of the Red Elephants, as one of her in-person co-hosts.
James claims to have known Fuentes in Chicago before Nick became an online figure.
Hargraves & James' podcast from Idaho is very Fuentes-aligned and is trying to get him on as a guest if they haven't already (though Nick said he wouldn't go on because he gets bad vibes from another of their hosts Dave Reilly).
They are openly antisemitic, White nationalist, racist, Christian, anti-tranny/gay, repeal the 19th, etc.
Apologies to derail Hambly's thread any further, but I read on Twitter last night that Nick Fuentes' childhood Chicago buddy Vincent James announced he is quitting his own podcast 6 months in. He makes some vague allusion to family matters, but I think that's just trad RW cover that's hard to assail & gain sympathy without prying.
Crossposting from The Quartering thread.
First off, the more relevant bit of info was Jeremy Hambly declaring last week that he'd be happy to platform Nick Fuentes on his show, but alas cannot because he can't reach out with Nick having him blocked.
This was in the context of Tim Pool declaring he wouldn't have Fuentes on Timcast because it costs him personally between 20k & 1 million dollars.
To which I pointed out that Hambly's co-host Hannah Claire Brimelow (Peter Brimelow's daughter, founder of the VDARE white advocacy org) invited Rebecca Hargraves (aka Blonde, formerly of the Matt & Blonde podcast) to guest on The Quartering's day show while Hambly was on vacation in Hawaii a few months ago.

Blonde had a messy breakup of her near decade-long podcast last fall with Matt Christiansen (one of the six RW influencers caught up in Lauren Chen's Tenet Media Russian-DOJ honeypot). Christiansen is more of a TPUSA-style normie who won't criticize blacks & Jews. There were many factors in their YT show breaking up, but a big part of it was Blonde wanting to be openly antisemitic & having to keep it a secret that Christiansen had married a tribe member.

So last Nov, Hargraves created a new openly antisemitic/racist podcast based in Idaho with Vincent James called The Backlash.
Vincent James
They talked often about watching & appreciating Nick's work. James, formerly of the Red Elephants, talked often of knowing Nick in Chicago before Fuentes became famous online. They also openly wished to try to get Nick on their show.
A few months back, a superchatter on Nick's show asked him if he'd go on Vincent James' show. Nick replied he wouldn't because people have told him unflattering things about another of James's co-hosts, Dave Reilly and he just got bad vibes from the guy. That he'd only be interested in interviewing with Vince solo.
Fast forward to this week,
I read on Twitter last night that Nick Fuentes' childhood Chicago buddy Vincent James announced he is quitting his own podcast 6 months in. He makes some vague allusion to family matters, but I think that's just trad RW cover that's hard to assail & gain sympathy without prying.

I suspect it's actually about money. The pod has 4 hosts, only very small alt right sponsors and very meager superchats. That doesn't lead to much revenue per host.
They were filming the pod twice a week in Idaho at another host's house in person. So we are talking about only a 2-3 hour commitment a week and James already wasn't attending half the weekly episodes.
AFAICT, he doesn't work and barely does his own solo podcast. He's always has a pinned tweet on his X begging fans to buy him a new studio because he's been canceled everywhere like Nick & can't feed his kids.

Early on in their podcast's run, they were hosting their Rumble feed on James' channel but quickly made a separate new channel because James couldn't bother to start streams if he wasn't attending.
