Tim has a new Gen Z podcast, co-hosted by Cameron Kasky. The most recent episode is called "Nazi Parties Aren't Ragers," and features guest Joshua Rush, a former Disney Channel star turned political operative. Covid-19 locked up Gen Z during their formative years, and the GOP offered them a party. Sure, there’s some Nazism mixed in with the drinks, but during a loneliness pandemic, you take what highs you can get. Tim and Cam discuss how Covid helped push Gen Z right. Plus, Joshua Rush defends the activist tactics of Gen Z and explains how— in the face of nonstop nihilism—he still has optimism for the future of America. Joshua Rush joins Tim Miller and Cameron Kasky. show notes FYPod page
Full Episode
Hey guys, I launched FYPod with my buddy Cameron Kasky, who was a Parkland survivor that started March for Our Lives. And I did so because we wanted to talk to Gen Z influencers, Gen Z activists, people from across the ideological spectrum in Gen Z to get a sense for, you know, why... these guys, particularly guys, let's be honest, trended more towards Trump than us.
Ernest Wessling, millennials, uh, understand what is happening culturally, understanding what's happening with them on their phones and with their anxiety. And, um, I'm super excited, uh, to do it with them. Um, you know, playing the, uh, I was about to say the dad. Could I be cool older brother? Probably not. There's a pretty big gap between us age-wise.
Anyway, I'm doing the best that I can to try to learn from the kids. And so we have a huge array of guests. They're going to be coming. I'm excited about some of the folks we have coming up. This week, the episode you're about to hear was episode two with Joshua Rush, who was a Disney star that then quit Disney. and became a political activist, political campaign professional.
Now he's working in Texas. So he has more of a positive view on things than me and Cameron who are pretty jaded. So I just wanted to give you guys a taste of it.

I'm Cameron Kasky. I'm Tim Miller. And this is FYPod. You are listening to the second episode of the record-breaking and historic look we are taking into Generation Z. And we're asking a lot of questions about why we're all acting so crazy. We're exploring the idea that maybe we're called Gen Z because Z is the last one. And it might be over, gang. It's over? It looks like it's over, man.
I mean, last time we spoke, you and I, Tim, one of the president's puppet masters had done a Sig Heil in front of everybody. And then the president's puppet master said, no, no, no, no, no. One is not enough. Steve Bannon's got to go up and do the Sig Heil as well. So now we're two Sig Heils into this presidency and probably more to come.
We'll just see if the orange guy decides he wants to do it as well.
It's a Roman salute, Cameron. The SIG Heil is a nice transition into the topic I wanted to pick your brain on today. And it is the Germans. Do you have any thoughts on bratwurst now? It's not just about the Germans, but the Germans had an election. And They, you know, things went, I guess, better than they could have.
