Send us a textThis week, I get into some of the real stuff—talking about comedy, mental health, and why it’s so important to feel safe when you’re sharing your story (especially when half your brain is screaming, "Why are we doing this again?").I dig into setting boundaries, managing your energy without feeling like you’re letting everyone down, and how the Spoon Theory basically describes my Tuesday mornings. We also talked about why it’s important to find the givers in your life—the people who fill you up instead of draining you like Todd the Energy Vampire.There’s some stuff about self-care, permission to take breaks (you don’t have to win every day), and how real connection can actually depressurize a lot of the noise we carry around. Also, I share one of my favorite ways to set myself up for a successful show on the day of.If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on one spoon and a prayer, or like you’re supposed to be "crushing it" when you barely have the energy to return a text… this one’s for you.Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on TikTok @jokesandthegym Youtube @jokesandthegym www.rudytyburczy.com ig @jokesandthegym and @rudytyburczy and @rudyandthecats Facebook, Twitter, they also exist.

Send us a textWhat is up my friends? This week on Jokes and the Gym, I get a little personal. I opened up about some of life’s challenges (spoiler: feelings were felt), and why communication is basically the kettlebell swing of human connection—awkward at first, but powerful once you commit to it. And I challenge YOU to stop saying a certain word and see how it changes your freakin life.I talk about the importance of saying what you mean, letting people in (even when you’d rather hide in a hoodie), and showing up for each other with a little more compassionate curiosity. There’s some reflection, some real talk, and yeah, a couple jokes to keep it from getting too earnest.If you’ve ever struggled to say what you really mean—or if you’ve ever just needed someone to ask “Hey, how are you really?”—this one’s for you.Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on TikTok @jokesandthegym Youtube @jokesandthegym www.rudytyburczy.com ig @jokesandthegym and @rudytyburczy and @rudyandthecats Facebook, Twitter, they also exist.
