Listen "Ep. 83 - Preparing for Brain Surgery as a Tired Person"
Episode Synopsis
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 live podcast on 8/4, and realizing that rest, kindness, and community are everything right now.I also share some reflections on how most comedy sets don’t allow for warm-up time, but maybe life should. Some tumor humor, some thoughts on motivation and adjustment disorder, what it's like to describe your own comedy, and a reminder that being tired doesn’t mean you’re lazy—it might mean you’ve been carrying more than you realized.Got my official craniotomy packet (and yes, there’s a whole constipation protocol section), and I’m just doing my best to stay grounded, grateful, and a little goofy along the way.Thanks for being here. Let’s keep breathing and moving through this together.Find me, Rudy Tyburczy, on TikTok @jokesandthegym Youtube @jokesandthegym www.rudytyburczy.com ig @jokesandthegym and @rudytyburczy and @rudyandthecats Facebook, Twitter, they also exist.
