Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy
Jokes and the Gym is where dumbbells meet dumb jokes. Hosted by comedian, certified personal trainer, and brain tumor survivor Rudy Tyburczy, this show dives into the messy overlap of comedy, health, and resilience. Each week, Rudy chats with comedians, creatives, and other people in his life about late nights, weird gigs, fitness fails, and finding balance when life throws curveballs. You’ll also hear solo episodes with updates from his ongoing brain surgery journey, reflections on recovery, and plenty of ridiculous stories along the way. Expect laughs, honesty, and maybe even the push you need to lace up your sneakers. Think stand-up comedy with a side of lunges—your brain, your body, and your funny bone will thank you.

Ep. 33 - Nitai Aleksiewicz Talks Ritual, Routine, and the Nuance of Distinction
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In my 4th of 4 conversations with fellow Oregon Country Fair (OCF) folk, I speak with psychedelic facilitator, spoken word performer, and Whitebird Clinic team member Nitai Alekseiwicz. We have a delightful conversation whose theme seems to be around making distinctions among our actions.
We talk about how to really grok it, the difference between routine and ritual, being prepared versus being ready (and why one of them might not cut it), and some of the joys and pains of living in a town the size of ours.
In her work with psilocybin, we discuss respecting the medicine that you're working with, some outcomes she has seen people experience, and how she has been there for others on their trips. It sounds pretty cool!
Overall, it's a delightfully woo conversation that offers an interesting look into enjoying everything from comedy to psychedelics!
