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.

Jes Anderson is a comedian and mom and human in Seattle! I had a delightful time talking with her. She discusses the balance between her day job and comedy, her experience in a comedy competition, and the driving factors behind picking up that first mic.
A former crossfit coach and gym manager, she talks about some crossfit misconceptions, and her current relationship with the gym, which she enters three times a week and even uses a heavy piece of equipment in. She shares some of her secrets for tricking herself into exercising, and how exercise has changed for her over time.
We also touch on some comedy drama she was a part of as owner and booker of The Comedy Bar in Seattle, audience expectations, and the challenges of navigating sensitive topics. We talk about the vibrant comedy scene in Seattle, and the podcast she co-hosts with friend of the program Sam Miller, The Tarp Report, because they love tarps so much.
Follow her on the gram at @coachsmoach - which she talks about the origins of on the pod!
