Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy

In Episode 127, I check in on where things stand nine months after brain surgery, including a busy week of appointments with my neurologist, oncologist, and cardiologist. I talk about learning that I'm back in AFib, what that means moving forward, and the ongoing balancing act of managing health while still trying to work, exercise, create, and live life. 

The second half of the episode shifts into one of my favorite topics: movies. I rank the five horror filmmakers I'm most excited about right now who got their start on YouTube, including Markiplier (Iron Lung), Curry Barker (Obsession), and others. Along the way, I reflect on creativity, consistency, making things before you're ready, and why I think it's such an exciting time for independent filmmakers and storytellers.

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 event, and share five takeaways from the event and night as a whole. Thanks to the Eugene Art House, Bert Walpack, the National Brain Tumor Society, and everyone who helped make this night such a success.

This week I’m reflecting on 125 episodes of consistency and how real change - whether it’s fitness, creativity, or life - comes from habits over time, not quick fixes. I talk about finding flow, sticking with the process even when it’s messy, and learning to enjoy where you’re at while still moving forward. I also share updates on my Tumor Humor show at the Eugene Art House and what it’s been like building something meaningful step by step. Plus, a reminder to listen to your body, take care of yourself, and maybe do one nice thing - like laugh a little.

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 to upload this bad boy on time. Oh well, we're all fine! Enjoy the show!

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 through obligations, I’m trying to see them as opportunities - whether that’s mowing the lawn, training clients, working on my comedy, or prepping for my Tumor Humor show on May 22nd at the Eugene Art House.

I get into how this shift helps me stay more present, find more joy in the process, and even approach things I don’t love (like social media) with a little more purpose - especially when it’s tied to something bigger than me. I also share a couple stories from the week, including randomly spotting my 83-year-old client in the crowd at a show, and talk about how this mindset is shaping my comedy and how I show up in life.

It’s not about pretending everything’s amazing - it’s about finding those small “get to” moments wherever you can.

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 sustainable—three days a week, full-body, and keeping it simple. I also share how I structure my workouts, why the six main movement patterns matter, and how you can make fitness work for your life instead of taking it over. Plus a quick update on Tumor Humor and the fundraiser I’m putting together for the National Brain Tumor Society.

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 can do in a different manner and focusing on maintaining patterns rather than producing perfect routines might help you move to where you want to be. Check it out, and be well, wherever you are!

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 I share how adding one or two productive adjustments can help me work towards my larger goals. 

What does your morning routine look like?

Here's a quick podcast with an idea or two for a workout that won't take forever and is geared towards those people who are already doing some activity and want to continue to get stronger. Plus, I give my thoughts on a couple gym myths that seem to have worked their way into the collective mind about how easy it is to gain muscle (Hint: it's NOT!). Give it a listen and let me know what your micro-workouts look like!
