JATG 113 - Fun Little Restrictions

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/02/24

In this shorter episode, I talk about a few ways to make restrictions work for you, instead of against you. By this I mean things like, how can you make a lack of time or equipment inspire your workout instead of hold you back? Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/02/17

In this episode, I ask the question, "What ONE THING can you do right now to help you get where you want to be?" and go from there. I talk about the one things I do in health, in comedy, in performing, and I share a couple short clips from the show I was a part of on Valentine's Day at the Eugene Art House, produced by friend of the show Jorah Lafleur.

JATG 111 - Don't Work Out!!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/02/10

On this episode, I give you permission to NOT WORK OUT! It's okay. You can do it (or not!)! But just, like, do it most of the time you're planning to. There's a lot of great reasons to workout, and there are some legitimate reasons to not work out also. If it's one of those reasons, or you just need a break feel free to not work out. But, I'll also see you at the gym when you're ready to get back at it. Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on TikTok @jokesandthegym Youtube @jokesandthegym ...

JATG 110 - Working Out on Low Energy Days

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/02/03

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 big...

JATG 109 - How to Create a Workout for (almost) Anyone!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/01/27

In this episode, I break down how I would build one simple strength-training workout that works for most people - no bodybuilding goals, no heroic suffering, no gym intimidation required. Just a simple outline coming from a personal trainer who wants to help people move and feel better. Using the six basic movement patterns (push, pull, carry, squat, hinge, lunge), I let you know how to choose a few exercises, keep the reps reasonable, and train in a way that supports your body and your brain...

JATG 108 - Takin It Easy

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/01/20

In this episode I talk about who I am, what I savor, recovery, capacity, and learning to do less after a brain tumor and seizure shifted my relationship to work, comedy, and stress. This episode is about nervous system care, changing relationships with the things you love, and finding small ways to rest and refill in a burned-out world. Don't expect a bunch of specific tips or whatever, but more of an exploration of what doing less can look like. And I chuck in a couple micro movie reviews, b...

JATG 107 - Time to Start Strength Training!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/01/13

This week, I’m talking about strength training - not from a research-heavy, “optimize everything” angle, but from a personal one. You can look up the physiological benefits anywhere. Smarter people than me have that covered. Instead, I share three simple reasons I keep coming back to lifting weights: It’s empowering. Strength training is a direct way to do things with your body—move better, feel stronger, or work toward how you want to look or feel. You want to move that thing? This hel...

JATG 106 - Choosing a Word (Not a Resolution)

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2026/01/06

In this episode I talk about one way to approach setting the tone for the new year, and why using Marty Supreme as an example may or may not be the best way to move forward. Instead of goals and specifics, I talk about the benefits of choosing a single word or phrase to use a guiding light for the year ahead, and recognizing the inherent costs of choosing any word.

JATG 105 - Goals That Don't Make You Hate Life

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2025/12/30

In this episode I'm talking about setting process-based goals instead of outcome goals. That is, instead of things like, "I'm gonna lose 50 pounds!", we can help ourselves more by incorporating process goals into our day to day. So like, "I'm gonna go for a walk after lunch 4-6 days a week" or "I'm gonna lift weights two or three times a week" is much more likely to help you stay on track. So check it out, and thanks for being you. You rock. Happy New Year. Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on ...

JATG 104 - A Quick Holiday Episode

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2025/12/23

This week's episode is just a quick check-in. I'm juggling all sorts of holiday stuff before a trip out of town to visit family, so I just wanted to say hi and remind you to be kind to yourself, and if you miss a workout or go heavy on the eggnog, that's just part of the season. So move around if you can, enjoy your time, and don't be afraid to indulge in a holiday meal or two. This time of year is often wonky, and the fact that you're even here says a lot about you.

In this episode, I talk about why sleep matters more than we think, how much adults actually need, and how lack of sleep affects mood, memory, creativity, workouts, and performance. I share why comedians struggle with sleep, a few simple ways to improve it, and a brief personal health update as I continue recovering and getting back into the flow of life.

Ep. 100 - 100 Weeks of Showing Up!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2025/11/25

I hit 100 episodes and take stock of why showing up weekly matters more than perfection; how a seizure, brain surgery, and an AFib ablation reshaped my training and my comedy; and why tiny, consistent reps beat heroic bursts. I share gratitude for listeners, guests, and the YMCA community, plus a simple health-first workflow that got me back to the gym. I talk about what the future of the pod and my personal training will hold, how adjusting goals is necessary, and the problem with perfection...

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2025/11/18

In Ep. 99, I catch up with comedian Myq Kaplan about making his new special, Rini, and how collaborating with his partner shifted his process from “just get the laugh” to “get the truth and the laugh.” We trace that evolution from Edinburgh reps and Rini’s note-taking to their “blooming → pruning → harvest” workflow, plus how shared ideas (and producer credits) actually happen in a real relationship. We also talk health and how that looks for him as a comedian in the Big Apple: Myq’s Ma...

Ep. 98 - Myq Kaplan is about to release a special! Rini!

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy ·

2025/11/11

In this episode, I’m joined once again by the delightful Myq Kaplan to talk about his new special “Rini” (out November 19 on the Blonde Medicine YouTube channel), his year of creative growth, and what he’s learned from diving into acting with his partner Rini. We get into how acting became less “mystical” and more playful, how exercises like switching emotional choices cracked things open, and how those tools feed back into stand-up. From there we zoom out into the philosophy of comedy: proce...

I’m back on stage and back in rhythm. Halloween cover show on Friday, Double Entendre on Saturday—two months running as freestyle champ—and my first 30-minute walk since brain surgery. I share how beta blockers changed the feel of performing, why I might add freestyle to my act, my fast-approaching return to personal training at the Y, and a big 2026 goal: developing Tumor Humor for Edinburgh Fringe.

This week, I’m talking about what it feels like to get back into comedy after brain surgery and an ablation, Brain Tumor Awareness Week, and how I’m feeling about returning to work soon. I did two shows this weekend — one for a cancer benefit and another at Bleepin’ Funny — and they both went great…except for the part where an entire table of women walked out mid-set (don’t worry, there’s a clip). I also share a few updates about my recovery — the weird silent migraines after my ablation, lea...
