Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy

In this special Oregon Country Fair episode of Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy, I’ll take you on a circuitous path to wonderful Veneta, Oregon, home of the world famous Oregon Country Fair, a multi-day festival in the woods (think Woodstock meets Ren Faire with so much more), which this year celebrated it’s 55th year in existence!

My guest this week…is me! I talk about OCF to open the show, and then you’ll hear from be BEFORE fair, and then you’ll hear me AFTER fair, too! Kinda fun to have that type of reflection on an event that’s dear to you.

I’ve stayed at fair the last two years, so I’m a newbie for sure, but a newbie who loves being there and is excited to share. I’m so excited I tell the story about meeting Reggie Watts story in both the before and after sections. Kinda like getting anywhere at Fair, you might have to pass the same thing twice (at least) before you get to where you were wanted to go. Ha. Really fun to have those kinds of experiences, though.

So tune in to get the skinny on my Top Fair Foods, my favorite fair memory, what I struggle with physically, how to get lost like a pro, hat guys, why we are rebranding our fair show, how to get the most out of festivals while being good to your body, which headlining comedian we met this year, and so so much more. Thanks for stopping by - hope to see you next year!

In this episode, newly re-Portlanded comedian Luke Miller and host Rudy Tyburczy chat about a bunch of fun topics including goatees, seat belts, Luke’s “x-factor”, and we might even uncover a wrestling rumor or two, so hold onto your turnbuckles!

We discuss Luke’s recent surgery and changes he’s made, his aversion to traditional gyms, and how he likes to get in the zone before a show. As two former/current(?) athletes, Luke and Rudy get to talk shop about experiences in athletics and accessing flow state. How do you get into it?

Luke shares some of his goals moving forward, we discuss emotional regulation, and hit on so many topics that kept me listening the entire time I edited this thing. Hope you enjoy it too!

This is a delightful and hilarious conversation I had with fellow Eugene comedian, Gwen Gray! She wears many hats, and we have a wonderful time talking about everything from moviemaking (she does that) to triathlons (does those) to comedy (does that too). 

As she starts working on a freaking MOVIE over the summer, we release this episode! Rock on, Gwen! 

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey folks! On this episode of Jokes and the Gym, renowned comedian and podcaster Billy Wayne Davis (@billywaynedavis) and I (@rudytyburczy) chat all things comedy and working out. Well, not all things, but a lot of things! BW drops so much info on ya from the start of this podcast, so smash that play button yall. 

A former collegiate athlete and current headlining comedian, Billy Wayne talks traps comics fall into at different parts of their journey, how to avoid them, and what it takes to make it through a tour with your mind, body, and bank account in tact. 

He shares the swimming tip that allowed him to actually finish a triathlon, how being a hottie actually hurt him athletically, and some ancient grandma wisdom that you'll hate how right (and simple) it is. 

Google Billy Wayne Davis to find a variety of his comedy specials, podcasts, and his upcoming tour! He'll be back in the NW in early July - check him out if you can!

Jessica Adel is one of those friends that just lights me up, and I think you can really feel that from both of us in this conversation, which just so happens to be on episode 25 of Jokes and the Gym! 

As a talented writer and performer, she’s one of those people who’s just like, suspiciously good at everything. Writing, directing, singing, acting, are just a few of the amazing talents she has. And she's written dozens of episodes of tv shows, so she knows her way around a joke. 

In this wide-reaching conversation, Jessica shares so much about what she’s learned as she’s grown and worked all over the world before hunkering down a bit more while working with a nonprofit organization in British Columbia. 

We go in depth on some of her favorite workout routines and ways her relationship to exercise has changed over the years. I just love her approach to mindfulness and growth overall. What a lovely time chatting.

This was a really honest and fun conversation with my good friend Seth Milstein, Eugene comedian and dad. We talk about a whole host of topics, starting with some movie chat and a lot about his process of recovery. He has a podcast, Hope Fiends, where he talks with others in recovery and I’m grateful for his candid and joyful communication in this conversation. 

We get into his role with Eugene’s new comedy club, Olsen Run Comedy Club, and how a club can impact a comedy ecosystem, and how he is able to handle responsibilities now that he has put down the bottle (among other things). 

Sober Seth and I close by talking about some of the changes he’s made in his life, and how to keep his Tums addiction in check. Check out how he got his handle for TikTok (@SatchmoSteam) and follow on the other socials too (@sethmils). Overall this is a candid and wide-reaching conversation between dear friends about comedy, connection, and health. We get serious and we laugh! How cool! 

Find Seth on his podcast, Hope Fiends, or follow him online @sethmils on ig, @SatchmoSteam on TikTok, and wherever else he might be. Thanks for being you!

In this episode of Jokes and the Gym, Rudy sits down with friend and fellow Eugene comedian, dentist Bert Walpack! We get into what it's like being a jet setting dentist, doing comedy and dental conferences all across the country. 

We also reflect on his time on the east coast, much of which was spent either pursuing comedy or being a D1 athlete - tune in to find out which Big Ten school he competed for!

He also gives us the lowdown on his current workout routine,  why he's focusing on his glutes, and what he hopes to accomplish in comedy when it comes to creating material that excites him. 

You can find more of Bert online @bertwalpack

You wanna learn how to be your own number one fan? Then this episode with Duante "Suitman" Barnett is just what the suitman ordered. Duante and myself dig deep into topics ranging from racial identity to intersectionality to Duante's long and varied list of accomplishments. We also chat about leg presses and legos. So there's something for everyone!

**NOTICE** Duante uses some colorful language, so you might need to earmuff the kiddos, and the opinions expressed by Duante do not necessarily reflect that of Jokes and the Gym **END NOTICE

Phew, now that we're through that, strap in, hold in, and get ready for a rip roaring conversation and Duante's motivational message for everybody out there - EVERYBODY!!

Fellow Feline- and Workout-Enthusiast Jesse Hett joins me on this week’s episode of Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy. We share our deep love of (among other things) cats, the Irish and their bars, and crafting a joke that we’re proud of.

A lot of this episode is just two dudes nerding out over their cats, so strap in for some hard-hitting Kitty Cat Chit Chat - which I may or may not be pitching Jesse on as our next podcast endeavor. It was great to finally chat with Jesse, though, as he was someone I’ve always enjoyed since we met at a fest, and had so many shared interests. You can definitely see both of our ADHDs peek out from behind our love of cats, working out, comedy, and a lagging internet connection. 

Find Jesse in San Fran every Monday night at the Abbey Tavern on Geary for a show he co-hosts, Mirthquake, and follow him on the socials at @jessethehett (like Jabba the Hutt, but with his name)

In this episode, I sit down with the hilarious Jessica Grant, comedian born and raised in Humboldt County. We chat about the lack of joy of hecklers, her entry as a business owner with a green thumb, and how darn challenging the last few years have been - she's been through a lot! (But has maintained better than most would.)

And yet, she has become a homeowner, started a business, and put out her debut comedy album, "Kinda Sexy". Oh yeah, she is a cancer survivor, and we get into some of the effects of her battle (eyebrows, anyone?), which is actually quite impressive. Tune in to find out what she has learned through this intense process! 

I have been so impressed with how Jessica has maintained her mental health through the last few years, all while pursuing this crazy thing we call comedy, and living her best dang life!

Check Jessica Grant as a regular at the Savage Henry Comedy Club, or find her album, Kinda Sexy, on Spotify, iTunes, and so on. Thanks for stoppin by!

Oh, and this is 20 episodes - that's pretty cool! Thanks to everyone who has helped or listened or thought. <3
