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.

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

This week’s episode is about a recent seizure I had while at the movies, almost exactly one year after the seizure that led to my brain tumor diagnosis. It’s a personal one about health uncertainty, recovery, support sys

Coming off the first full run of Tumor Humor , I reflect on what the night meant and what I learned from putting together a one-man show built around seizures, a brain tumor, and all sorts of other stuff. I recap the eve

Welp, I guessI forgot to upload last week's episode, so here it is now! Episode 124 talks about how sometimes a plan isn't always required. Guess I took that a little too much to heart last week, as I completely forgot t

In this episode, I talk about a simple mindset shift I picked up from Hidden Brain - moving from “got to” to “get to.” It’s nothing revolutionary, but it’s been hitting me in a real way lately. Instead of dragging myself

In this episode, I talk about where I’m at with my workouts after brain surgery and how my approach to fitness has shifted. I’m focusing less on going all-out and more on consistency, feeling good, and building something

In this episode I talk about a few ways to look at how flexibility rather than perfection is what allows for greater consistency in comedy, workouts, and life. Rather than quitting or not doing anything, asking what you

In this episode I talk about how I'm trying to make changes to my morning routine and why doing even one or two simple things can start your day off on the right foot. There's probably no need to make giant changes, but

Just a quick episode talking about one simple thing we can do to help ourselves when we're not feeling our absolute best. No need to kick and scream, just...get to bed. Earlier. It feels good. Donate to the National Brai

Why do you work out? In this episode of Jokes and the Gym , I’m thinking about motivation - what actually gets people moving and keeps them coming back. As a personal trainer, I see it all the time: people show up not wa
