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 131 - Three Heart Procedures, Two Seizures, One Podcast
    Jun 30 2026

    I check in this week before another cardioversion to talk seizures, comedy, prioritizing sleep, spoon theory, and trying to move through a chaotic medical year with humor and honesty. It’s a short(ish) episode about accepting lower energy, leaning on support, and still loving the process - whether that’s podcasting, training, comedy, or just getting through the day. Enjoy!

  • JATG 130 - A straight up comedy set
    Jun 23 2026

    Due to technical difficulties, this week’s episode is a straight up stand-up comedy set that I recorded at a backyard show in my friend Tim’s comedy club on Saturday, June 20, 2026, which was a pretty darn good time. There were about 15 people there (which is basically full) and everyone seemed to have a pretty good time with myself, as as well as with the other performers. You will hear a brief introduction from Tim -
    recent PhD recipient - and then I will do some comedy. 130 episodes, baby - seizures be damned! Enjoy!

  • JATG 129 - Listen to Your Body, Bring Snacks
    Jun 16 2026

    This week I’m keeping it pretty short because, honestly, I’m still going through it. A couple weeks after having another seizure, I’m back to work with clients, adjusting to anti-seizure meds, sleeping poorly, and trying to listen to my body in real time. I also got to be part of a fun local film shoot in Eugene, which reminded me how good it feels to stay connected to creative community, even when life feels wickety wonky. Mostly, this episode is about recovery, asking for help, hydration, snacks, and putting one foot in front of the other.
