This very special Mother’s Day episode of Jokes and the Gym features my mom, Froydis — a Norwegian-born, bread-baking, pool-loving powerhouse with a hug that can fix your day.

We chat about how community and movement keep her happy and healthy — from arthritis-friendly water classes and spontaneous singalongs to her competitive (but still fun) Saturday dominoes crew. Froydis reflects on aging, the value of strength training, and how laughter became more central in her life through her kids. Rudy and Froydis also reminisce about high school football, Eagles fandom, and zombie shows, all while celebrating the love and lessons that make their bond so special.

Quote of the Episode:
"I may not be the perfect son, and you may not be the perfect mom… but I’m the perfect son for you, and you’re the perfect mom for me.”
