"If we can create that magic at fair, we can bring it back in the real world and make sure everybody feels safe, accepted, and loved."

In this heartfelt and laughter-filled episode of Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy, my guest Devin Jones and I take a sprawling conversation through Devin's life in Oregon and growing up at Oregon Country Fair, his biggest bomb as a comedian, and how he tries to honor the ones he's lost over the years.

You'll also get Devin's top tips for dealing with fair vibes, what unusual sport Devin loves (I'd never even heard of it), and you might even hear a few of his bars mixed in with some wisdom he's gleaned over the years.

So put on your hemp bracelets, crowns made of moss, and get ready to leave your ego in the recycle bin. Thanks for stoppin by!

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.
