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.

JATG 110 - Working Out on Low Energy Days
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Episode 110 is about how I approach low-energy workout days in real time. After a less than stellar night of sleep, I talk through why it’s okay to skip a workout if it’s not going to add to your life, and how, when you do move, it doesn’t have to be intense to be worthwhile. I share why I’m choosing to work out with a friend, focus on movement over load, and keep the session shorter and more intentional, with the goal of feeling more alive rather than more drained. The episode reflects a bigger shift I’m making around energy, capacity, and letting go of all-or-nothing thinking - whether that means doing a lighter workout, going for a walk, or simply giving myself 20 minutes to do something that fills my bucket instead of emptying it.
