Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy

This is such a delightful episode with my good friend, comedian hottie Sabrena Contreras! We laugh so much from the start, talk about post-nap snacks, childhood power, and how a Velma costume helped us become friends immediately.

We talk about her fresh feelings from her recent move to LA, what she appreciates about Oregon, and how she's feeling about comedy in big bad LA. We also talk about what she does to stay healthy, and to keep her body and mind as happy as possible.

This woman wants to spread joy, and she does a great job of it in this conversation with me. I was smiling from ear to ear listening back to the episode - I hope you do too!

Follow Sabrena on ig @sabslaughsalot , and check her out in Paso Robles in Wine Country on May 29! Viva la comedy!

It's your boy Rudy T to the Yburczy, hosting this podcast, Jokes and the Gym! On this episode, I catch up with one of my old pals from Korea, Kelly Brassbridge, who got more than his fair share of laughs outta me. Since meeting while doing comedy and hip hop shows in Busan, South Korea, he has returned to the State of Maine and is a full-on teacher guy, but still lookin for laughs!

We reflect on our haircuts, alcohol, and time in Korea, and Kelly really tries to show me his belly (until realizing this is primarily an audio podcast). We talk about what has led him away from performance since returning stateside, and what he has been able to focus on in its stead. He might have even shared a bit of what he's working on in the meantime - lucky for you metal heads.

So take a walk in the woods, and get ready for a chuckle or two with Kelly and Rudy - I sure got my fair share in!

I really loved this convo with Dan Telfer - comedian, dungeon master, writer, and all around decent human freaking being - and we get right into some juicy relationship chat right off the top, and he gives out three great book recs if you're lookin to up your ability to human. Dan explains to me the lazy joys of somatic exercises, we talk about the world of polyamory, and dig into generational trauma - oh, joy!

Dan is truly a delight to to chat with, and if you're looking for a dungeon master, I definitely recommend checking out their website (https://dantelfer.carrd.co/). Sheesh, we could have chatted so much more about D & D, his experience as a cancer survivor, and so much more! But nonetheless, the time flew by and I had a blast listening to the podcast after the fact myself.

So stop by, find out who calls him Uncle Pizza, and let me know if you agree with his sage advice at the end of the show. I feel like he rolled a natural 20 on his wisdom check. Enjoy!

Hey Joketonians, Rudy here! This week on Jokes and the Gym, I chat with fellow PNW comedian Derek Sheen – a hilarious guy who also battles stage fright and staying healthy. We delve into the dark side of horror movies and comedy, the challenges of getting proper nutrition amidst demanding schedules, and how all kinds of life experiences can fuel your comedy.

Derek gets real about his weight struggles, his love for a good scare flick, and his upcoming projects tackling some serious personal stuff. Plus, Derek gives me more scary movie recommendations than I can shake a stick at!

So, if you're a comedy fan who wants to get healthy/freaked out, this episode is for you. We'll have you laughing, covering your eyes, and maybe even inspired to write your own horror masterpiece - or at least cook a halfway decent meal!

You can find out more about Derek on his website, https://www.dereksheenrulz.com/ or on ig @dereksheen666

Hey folks, Rudy here! This week on Jokes and the Gym, I chatted with the awesome Isaac Paris, a comedian and artist extraordinaire! We dissected creativity, from life balance to the surprising link between exercise and those artistic "aha!" moments.

Isaac shared tons of valuable nuggets on finding inspiration, embracing failure (key for both comedy and art), and developing your unique style. Plus, we explored the mind-blowing connection between copying and creativity.

Artists and anyone seeking a creative spark, this episode could be for you! We packed it with tips on inspiration, overcoming blocks, and staying motivated. Ditch the artist's block and join us as we explore creativity and well-being. Laughs, learnings, and maybe some brushstroke (or dumbbell) inspiration await!

Find more from Isaac on his website www.isaacparis.com, which I had a delightful time perusing! Thanks for stopping by!

What up yall! I really enjoyed my conversation with this week's guest, Sanjay Manaktala, a comedian who currently resides in the heart of Tennessee, but who has performed across the globe. Listen up to find out where we met and the common classmate we had - it's a small flippin world.

Sanjay has a lot of experience in the digital realm, and I feel like this is one of the most in depth conversations I've had yet on the subject of how to grow your online presence, something that I would do well to listen to Sanjay about, who has certainly had his share of viral hits. Will I put into practice Sanjay's words of advice? Time will tell. 

We also talk about getting a bit more aligned with your goals as you grow, ways that AI may or may not contribute to comedy and health, transition activities to keep you moving and inspired, and how there's no substitute for consistency. 

So grab your dumbbells and lovely handles,  and enjoy the show. Thanks for stoppin by. 

Find Sanjay at @sanjaycomedy on the socials - he promises he'll accept you. :)

Hey yoo!!! Was great to catch up with my old pal and Denver comedian Ben Kronberg this week. We talked about life's surprises, living in the moment, our love for movies and Colorado, and even bonded over Zoom therapy. Fitness chat included Ben's secret 7-minute workout  and our shared walking passion. Bookworming involved Alan Watts and maybe a movie rec or two.

We chatted about Ben's comedy journey, from college to stand-up. He shared various thoughts on performing, his changing perspective on comedy, and experiences at a Denver Comedy Lounge and the Savage Henry Comedy Festival. Ben believes in achievable goals and creating a welcoming space in comedy.

We also chatted about Ben thriving in Denver's booming comedy scene and his advice for new comedians (and maybe our younger selves). It's all about balance and enjoying the ride! I shared some of my recent success, and we even discussed him visiting Oregon! All of this made me happy! Enjoy!

Hey team, Rudy Tyburczy here, stand-up vet and (let’s say) burgeoning personal trainer. I created Jokes and the Gym – a podcast where me and other comics (and whomever else) sweat, swear, and get real about getting healthy (sorta) - because I love working out and doing jokes and wanna talk with other people about how they feel about it, how they find balance in their life, and how to stay freakin funny while doing, ya know, LIFE!

This week's guest is Chadhurst Sharpe, a comedian and award-winning author (big words, I know) based out of Eugene. We dive into his journey, from military service to cracking jokes. We also talk about his writing process (spoiler alert: it involves a lot of rewriting – same, Chad, same) ever since he was just little boy in a bathtub.

Listen in if you're interested in:

• How an open mic night turned Chad into a comedy machine.
• Why quitting smoking is harder than finishing a book.
• How to balance your life (work, hobbies, that Netflix queue) without staying up past your bedtime.
• Plus, Chad spills a bean on his writing habits, fitness routine, and his least favorite cartoon plot points.

So, grab your headphones, your water bottle (or maybe an apple fritter – you do you), and join us for some laughs and (hopefully) some fitness motivation. Getting healthy doesn't have to be a drag. Or…whatever! Let's have some fun with it!

Find Chad on instagram @1990nothin and @oddlyspecific_comedy

Hey folks, this week's guest is the hilarious and talented Britney Spears/Philadephia Eagles fan Tess Barker! We dig into her podcasts Toxic: The Britney Spears Story (she like started #FreeBritney!) and Lady to Lady, the benefits of a chill (or very hot) workout, and what we talk about when we talk about Murakami.

We also geek out over storytelling in comedy (Tess shares a secret weapon from her comedian buddy!), our love for physical books (she actually reads them!), and of course, fitness! Tess, a marathon runner, spills a bean or two on her favorite running tunes and the weird joy of getting rained on.

By the end, you'll know a bit more about how to find inspiration, juggle your passions, and laugh your way to a healthier, funnier you. Plus, we chat about Tess's upcoming projects (hint: one of them is about to take place in the Biggest Little City in the World!). So grab your earbuds and get ready for a laugh riot with a side of #hashtag! Fly Eagles Fly!

Jokes and the Gym: Oscar Edition - Curt Neill Spills All That Hollywood Tea

Attention, weary comedians and gym-dwelling existentialists! Buckle up for a special Oscar edition of Jokes and the Gym, because this week we're serving up a piping hot plate of Hollywood dreams with my friend, pickup league hoopster, and filmmaker Curt Neill.

**Listen along as we:

• Cringe at Curt's journey from the Oregon Trail to the Hollywood Walk of...well, wherever your dreams take you...maybe it's a softball league
• Unpack the inner baggage of balancing ambition with the crippling fear of your friends rejecting your brunch invitations
• Learn how ditching LA and reconnecting with his roots (and possibly some squirrels) might have rekindled Curt's creative spark 
• Delve into the world of screenwriting, the importance of Curt’s "horseshit draft”, and why can't mumblecore be funnier, dangit?
• Glean life lessons like: stop caring what others think, patience is a virtue (because let's face it, you're not getting that Oscar this year), and hey, maybe Curt has found the key to productivity.

This episode might be your jock's jam if you're:

• A creative soul who rolls their eyes at inspirational quotes but secretly wants to believe in them.
• Pretty sure your gym membership is a tax write-off for for business purposes
• Curious about the potential link between edibles and Oscar gold
• Just here for the laughs - because life is hard and therapy is expensive

So, grab your headphones, light your incense, and join us for a hilarious and thought-provoking conversation with Curt Neill. 

Plus, stick around after the interview for your host's completely unbiased and definitely not influenced by studio pressure Oscar predictions! As well as my review of Curt’s very own film - Derek’s Dead, available on Prime and Tubi and other places! He shoulda been a contendah!
