Howdy yall! I'm Rudy Tyburczy and I put the personal in personal trainer! So come along and listen up as I share three of the things I've learned so far in my first couple months on the job as a personal trainer.

I'm learning every day, and I can't wait to keep learning more. Tune in to hear what I have to say about how communication, connection, and consistency can help me be a better trainer, comedian, and just a decent human.

And stick around to revisit parts of three wonderful conversations with Sanjay Manaktala, Isaac Paris, and Derek Sheen to hear some of what they've learned about comedy. Their answers might surprise you! Or they might not.

What sentence did I say to change the trajectory of my entire year? And how can picking something to focus on throughout the year can give shape and meaning to otherwise arbitrary periods of time?

In this year-ender of Jokes and the Gym (53 straight weeks!!), I wax poetic about goals, gaining reflection, setting intention for the year, and other really hilarious stuff. I wonder how self-talk influences identity, ponder the notion of becoming a clean comedian, and overall just try to pump myself up for the new year. What a riot!

I also re-listen to answers from Tess Barker, Chad Sharpe, and Ben Kronberg to the question, "What advice would you give your younger comedy self?" Their answers might surprise you! Or maybe not...

I hope you enjoy this episode! I had fun making it!

Thanks for hanging out this year! Happy new year and stuff!

This is the first of what will be a series of episodes where I compile responses to the question I ask to end each of my episodes, "What advice would you give your early comedy self?"

Hear what:

-Brian Netzel (@thebriannetzel) would tell his early comedy self to put down;

-Albert Escobedo (@albertmescobedo) has learned he doesn't need as much of;

-Leigh Anne Jasheway (accidentalcomic.com) doesn't need to focus on;

-Turner Sparks (@turnersparks) learned about what an audience wants far too late;

-Laura Sanders (@yaylaurasanders) wishes her younger self wouldn't have focused on;

-Andy Andrist (@andyandrist) wishes he knew about sticking to times;

-Adam Palmeter (@adampalmeter) thinks treading lightly would have helped him with;

-Kellen Terrett (@drterrett) and I wish for you, our listener (Mike!);

-Sam Miller (@sammillercomedian) would tell his younger self to steal to make himself good at comedy;

and

In this the 50th (!!) episode of Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy, I am delighted to chat with my friend, the hilarious, the prolific, the hardest working man in his house, Kyle Kinane.

In this convo, notorious non-worker-outer Kyle asks about ways to start and maintain motivation for working out, even if you don’t have a gym membership or very much fancy equipment. Stick around to hear what no-equipment two-exercise workout routine designed to improve strength and energy piqued Kyle’s interest.

And as a new cat dad, Kyle introduces us to his beautiful boys, and they even make an appearance or two that you can hear throughout. We also touch on many things comedy, making tough movie choices, and how crowdwork can be effectively used and the surprising truth about what it means to like it.

Thanks for stoppin by!

Find out when Kyle is gonna be in a town near you on kylekinane.com, or by following him on the gram @kylekinane.

For this episode, I reflect on the amazing conversation I had with Matt Braunger recently. Matt is a hilarious comedian with multiple albums and podcasts over the years, and we had a wonderful conversation talking about comedy, how he stays healthy, and so much more!

But you won't be hearing any of it.

Because I messed up the recording. I fumbled it. When I played it back, I had not recorded any of his audio. And so we won't be listening to that conversation. Sorry about that. Instead, it's just me talking for a little while. Which is also fine. I like talking, and I talk about things I've learned throughout this year of being a podcaster and personal trainer, and the challenges of balancing being a host or a human. And there might even be a joke or two in there.

So yeah, thanks for hanging out this week, and I promise next week won't be lost to the ages! It's episode 50 - the big 5-0! - and I chat with Kyle Kinane, friend of Matt Braunger!

You can find out more about Matt Braunger and when you can see him perform at mattbraunger.com.

Jokes! Gym! Jamie! Colson!

In this engaging conversation, my fellow comedian Jamie Colson shares her experiences with pets, fitness, comedy, and hot tubs! From the challenges of cohabitating with a dog and cat to her fitness journey involving Pokemon Go, Jamie's humor comes through as she discusses her love for hot tubs and the comfort they bring.

Our conversation also touches on personal growth, learning new skills, and the culinary challenges she faces, particularly with cooking eggs. We also share a bit about our recent body swap performance, which had been a long-time goal of mine (to become someone else).

Jamie touches on the importance of motivation and structure in life, and I share some tips from previous guests on how to scaffold a bit of that into your life. Finally, Jamie dives into some of her favorite music and podcasts, highlighting how these enrich her daily experiences. We also unpack some of the nuances of perfection versus flawlessness, the impact of podcasts on our lives, and the realities of adult entertainment content.

You can follow Jamie Colson on the gram and the tok at @jamie_tells_jokes - and find her at Bangers and Brews every month in Eugene! Next one December 7th!

Nathan! Hart! This conversation with Eugene comedian Nathan Hart, upon his return from more than a month on the road across the States during this wild election, was a great opportunity to hear about what brings us together more than what divides us. For Nathan, that's comedy. Hear about election night in Nashville, or Friday at The Fest in Florida, from the voice of a comic who's doing whatever he can to find opportunities to do standup.

Hear how Planet Fitness can be a haven on the road, and just what he did to stay fresh in his Subaru, which had a few rough patches of its own. From a below freezing night in Wyoming, to a stop at the Grand Canyon, Nathan was often tested in ways he didn't expect.

I hope you enjoy hearing about Nathan's trip across the States and run-ins with comedy and fitness as much as I did!

You can go to his talk show at Luckey's in Eugene - Handshoes and Horse Grenades, every Sunday at 8pm. Follow him on the gram @comicnathanhart - and listen to and follow his new podcast with Seth Milstein, @crushbombpod !
