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. 93 - Rapping, Myq, and Movies
I’m back with a weekend of bars and big screens. I start off with reflections and a clip or two from the freestyle round I won at Double Entendre (shoutout Lexy for keeping Eugene’s scene lively), and yes—my mom and her friends sat front row at a very dirty show where one of them yelled something that would otherwise be inappropriate to yell in public, which became one of my three freestyle words.
I share a teaser from my new chat with Myq Kaplan about Rini, the special he co-wrote with his partner, Rini.
Then it’s movie time: Joe List’s Tom Dustin doc and the Key West club story, Anemone with Daniel Day-Lewis, a There Will Be Blood rewatch, and why One Battle After Another might be peak PTA—not just recency bias.
Quick health check before next week’s ablation, plus show dates: 10/12 Eugene Art House, 10/25 Sam Bond’s (5pm, free), 10/31 Lucky’s, and 11/1 back at Fathoms (under Pegasus on campus) where I return as freestyle champ for another Double Entendre.
