Ep. 7 - Adam Palmeter Has Had More Back Surgeries Than Your Parents

Jokes and the Gym with Rudy Tyburczy

From Chipped Backs to Stand-Up Cracks: Get Fit, Get Real with This Hilariously Heartfelt Podcast

Join host Rudy Tyburczy as he chats with good friend Adam Palmeter, a comedian and artist who traded Seoul stages for Saigon sunrises and NYC nights after facing down addiction, surgery, and the harsh reality of chasing laughs in a foreign land. He'll share his journey, from building comedy scenes from scratch to finding healing in unexpected places.

But this ain’t some fitness guru spouting sunshine and kale smoothies. This is real talk, raw laughs, and the kind of motivation that comes from guys who've been there, done that, and maybe even gotten laid up with a back injury from it. Get ready to dive into the world of comedy from the perspective of comics who've seen the highs and lows, the sweat and the scars, both physical and metaphorical.

Expect:

• Heartfelt reflections on life, laughter, and the pursuit of happiness (while maybe avoiding international incidents)
• Practical advice on DIY-ing your way to success, both on stage and off (because let's face it, comedians gotta hustle)
• Cynical humor that hits harder than a bad mic night
• Honest discussions about mental health, addiction, and finding your way back from the bottom (spoiler alert: it involves more than just push-ups)
• Inspiring stories that prove even chipped spines can't stop you from crushing your goals (and maybe even finding some killer pho along the way)

This is for you if:

• You're a comedy fan who appreciates humor with a side of vulnerability
• You're a fitness enthusiast (or a fit-curious) who gets their motivation from more than just protein shakes and gym selfies
• You've ever wondered what it takes to build a life (and a punchline) from the ground up
• You're looking for a podcast that's equal parts laughter, reflection, and the kind of real talk that might make you feel a little less alone

So, grab your headphones, your favorite workout buddy (or your cat, mine are nearby), and get ready to get fit, get real, and laugh your way to a better you.
