This week, I’m talking about what it feels like to get back into comedy after brain surgery and an ablation, Brain Tumor Awareness Week, and how I’m feeling about returning to work soon. I did two shows this weekend — one for a cancer benefit and another at Bleepin’ Funny — and they both went great…except for the part where an entire table of women walked out mid-set (don’t worry, there’s a clip). I also share a few updates about my recovery — the weird silent migraines after my ablation, lea...

JATG Goes to the Movies - Shelby Oaks

Ep. 95 - Ablation, Books, Blazers, and TV Shows
Hey friends, it’s Rudy. This week marks one week since my heart ablation, and I’m happy to say I haven’t had an AFib episode since. I talk about what the procedure was like, some hospital stuff, and how it feels to finally give myself permission to slow down without guilt. But what I lack in heart chaos, I make up for in a rather chaotic episode: ablation, books, tv shows, and a Portland Trail Blazer/western conference NBA season preview. I’ve also been deep into some really good books - It’s...

JATG Goes to the Movies - One Battle After Another and Paul Thomas Anderson's Films RANKED
I saw One Battle After Another twice (empty house vs packed crowd) and it hit harder on rewatch. Here’s my spoiler-free review and my (almost) definitive PTA ranking (all 10 films) from a guy who just loves watching movies. Honestly, upon a full PTA rewatch, my number 4 movie has leapfrogged into the number 2 position. Other than that, they're all the same. Drop your PTA Top 3 in the comments and tell me where this lands for you. —Rudy | Jokes & the Gym Goes to the Movie...

Ep. 93 - Rapping, Myq, and Movies
I’m back with a weekend of bars and big screens. I start off with reflections and a clip or two from the freestyle round I won at Double Entendre (shoutout Lexy for keeping Eugene’s scene lively), and yes—my mom and her friends sat front row at a very dirty show where one of them yelled something that would otherwise be inappropriate to yell in public, which became one of my three freestyle words. I share a teaser from my new chat with Myq Kaplan about Rini, the special he co-wrote with...

JATG Goes to the Movies - (Not) HIM
In this bonus mini-episode, I celebrated being cleared to drive again post brain surgery by treating myself to a $5 Tuesday showing of Him. There were only three of us in the theater, and honestly, I can see why. The movie was a strange, muddled football-horror mashup that never quite came together. I talk about why it didn’t work for me—the random football scenes, the lack of story until the final act, and the lead’s tiny little brain scar (which I couldn’t help comparing to my own 12-inch p...

Ep. 92 - AFib Awareness Month and My Story
This week I get personal for AFib Awareness Month: how a house-call "huh" turned into an AFib diagnosis, what AFib actually is, the warning signs people miss, and the small, daily choices that have helped me, and could help you. Human, useful, and a little funny—because hearts shouldn’t be freestyling all the time.

Ep. 91 - Priorities, Plans, and My Brain and Heart
91 weeks in a row. Today I talk about balancing brain and heart (literally and figuratively), how “too much time” can scramble priorities, and my plan to hit 100 episodes before a December reset. Plus a divorce double-feature: The Roses (dark, funny ego battle) and Splitsville (modern, messy, hilarious). Cinema healing, with snacks.

Ep. 90 - A Month Out, A Month to Go
In this 90th episode, I check in on where I’m at—a month out from brain surgery and a month away from my next significant heart procedure. I talk about how hoodie weather, football season, and a steady diet of alien shows are helping me appreciate the little things. I share how I’m shifting my approach to training and recovery, celebrate 90 straight weeks of Rudy Tuesdays, look ahead to bringing back interviews while still enjoying these personal solo riffs, and give an under-appreciated Paul...

Ep. 89 - Neurology, Cardiology, Oncology—Plus My Return to Stand-Up
On this (slightly late) episode I dive into my recent time on the circuit - the doctor's circuit! While I've been going to more appointments than shows, I also talk about doing my first comedy set since surgery - just 17 days after getting my head sliced open! I bookend with some surprises, starting with those that my cats have brought me, and ending with the pleasant surprise of being nominated for Best Comedian in Eugene, which brings a deep sense of appreciation. It's filled with upd...

Ep. 88 - 3 Nights in the Hospital
This episode goes deep into the three nights I spent in the hospital throughout the experience of my craniotomy. I talk about getting there at 5:30AM, surgery at 8 (what I remember of it), my 8 hours waiting for an ICU room (and the barf bags that came with it), one night in the ICU, my racy initial interaction with my OT, and two nights in my room on the neuro floor. Overall, I had a good experience, and I'm thankful to have received such comprehensive and coordinated care throughout m...

Ep. 87 - 12 Days After Brain Surgery Quick Check In
I hopped on the mic for a short check-in—my first episode since coming home from brain surgery. I talk about the scar, my 21 head staples, my wobbly sleep schedule, and share some of what recovery has looked like almost two weeks out. I share updates from my surgeon Dr. Coon, my PA Tom (not to be confused with Tommy the Tumor), and the pathology report (grade 2 astrocytoma), plus what’s next with follow-ups and care. I also wanna thank my mom, friends, and everyone who’s supported me through ...

Ep. 86 - A Letter to My Future Self - Tommy Gets 86'd!
Episode 86 – “A Letter to My Future Self” was recorded in the two days leading up to my brain surgery — the one where Tommy the Tumor finally gets 86’d. I look back on the long road to diagnosis, from years of strange symptoms and a missed MRI to finally learning that Tommy had been squatting in my right frontal lobe for who knows how long. I share Jeff’s legendary “table story” from our Korean comedy days, when the mic went out and I laid down on the bar to finish my set, and how it mirrors ...

Ep. 85 - The Birthday Bingo Brain Tumor Bash - Backyard Live Episode!!
For my 42nd birthday, I turned my backyard into a live podcast-slash-bingo hall-slash-pre-surgery pep rally. Over 60 friends, neighbors, comedy pals, and YMCA folks showed up to eat, laugh, win creatine, and watch me forget Laura’s name for the eleventy-first time. "Blame Tommy!!" Instead of the full, chaotic raw audio (karaoke mic + summer evening chatter), I pulled some of my favorite moments: Mo’s heartfelt Country Fair story, regular reminders to rest, my brief cryptid-related brain glitc...

Ep. 84 - Birthday Highs and Lows - Ep 84 on 8.4 While Turning 42
Episode 84 Recap: aka 42 is the Answer So, apparently the answer to life, the universe, and everything… is: a brain tumor, a cat named Milk, and a birthday bingo prize basket with Desitin and creatine in it. This wasn’t the morning I hoped for. After months of navigating this whole brain tumor diagnosis, I met with a lawyer and found out I missed the statute of limitations to take legal action by three months. Three months too late to hold the ENT accountable for missing the tumor on my 2020 ...

Ep. 83 - Preparing for Brain Surgery as a Tired Person
Hey friends. This one’s coming to you tired. Real tired. Didn’t sleep great, and apparently that hits extra hard when you’ve got a brain tumor named Tommy squatting in your right frontal lobe. But we’re here, we’re honest, and we’re warming up—literally and metaphorically. This week I talk about easing back into comedy after my seizure in June, doing my first set at Bleepin’ Funny and Tim’s birthday. It felt good. Weird, but good. I'm getting ready for my own birthday party and first-ever liv...

Ep. 82 - A Tale of Two Fridays - OCF and AFIB
This week, I walk you through two wildly different Fridays: one full of joy, the other full of deflation. First, I reflect on my incredible day at Oregon Country Fair—hosting hip hop acts, crushing a surprise comedy set, vibing with strangers at Spirit Tower, getting clean at the Ritz sauna, and locking eyes with the perfect Phoenix Rising cookie. I was feeling present, energized, and connected to the chaos and beauty of it all. And then… the other Friday hit. I went in for a cardioversion—ho...

Ep. 81 - That’s Fair and Knowing Your No - My OCF ‘25 Recap
Hey everybody, welcome back to Jokes and the Gym. This week’s episode is all about my Oregon Country Fair 2025 adventure. This year was the full Fair experience: beautiful, chaotic, exhausting, magical. I went in prepared—literal farmer’s carries all year to get ready to haul my gear—and even that didn’t cover everything. It was full of those human moments: old friends pitching in to carry bags, new friends chatting over tofu breakfast, kids laughing at my name because of Ice Age. Sharing a l...

Hey friends! Welcome to Episode 80 of Jokes and the Gym—80 weeks straight, baby! Can you believe it? Well, do. This one’s a check-in about life lately. (And a bonus movie review!) I talk about navigating my AFib (cardioversion coming up where they’ll zap my heart back into rhythm) and this new brain tumor diagnosis—good ol’ Tommy the Tumor hanging out in my right frontal lobe. Turns out a lot of my struggles with fatigue, mood, and focus might not just be “getting older.” Thanks, Tommy. It’s ...
