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. 60 - Revisiting Oregon Country Fair
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I'm dusting off my tie-dye and taking you on a nostalgia trip to the Oregon Country Fair! As I've just completed this year's application for Fair, I'm reminiscing about past OCF performances – yes, there were awkward silences and jokes about patchouli that face-planted. But that's comedy! And there's so much more to love about doing comedy in such a unique environment where you really have no idea what's going to happen.
I even get sentimental reflecting on past Fair chats with guests (from episodes 30-33) Jorah, Devin, Nitai, and Eugene. Join us for laughs, lessons, and maybe a cringe or two as my friends and I relive our Fair-est moments. It's kinda like a comedy show and a family reunion in a digital yurt. Ya know?
A couple topics we discuss are:
Practical advice
Savoring it
Experiencing what matters to you
Surrounding yourself with love
Cultivating Humility
To Grock
“The truest form of success is inner peace”
What does it mean to arrive?
Appreciating growth
I don’t need to arrive, I’ve been arriving everyday
cinnabon
getting tired of being comfortable
spiraling
Gene's new gooey center
Accepting things about yourself
Feeling the pain
Concretization
This will pass
What would this look like if it were fun?
