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. 72 - Me and My Mama!
This very special Mother’s Day episode of Jokes and the Gym features my mom, Froydis — a Norwegian-born, bread-baking, pool-loving powerhouse with a hug that can fix your day.
We chat about how community and movement keep her happy and healthy — from arthritis-friendly water classes and spontaneous singalongs to her competitive (but still fun) Saturday dominoes crew. Froydis reflects on aging, the value of strength training, and how laughter became more central in her life through her kids. Rudy and Froydis also reminisce about high school football, Eagles fandom, and zombie shows, all while celebrating the love and lessons that make their bond so special.
Quote of the Episode:
"I may not be the perfect son, and you may not be the perfect mom… but I’m the perfect son for you, and you’re the perfect mom for me.”
