Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim tried to support another woman at work. Somehow, her neckline became the problem. This week, Julie revisits a corporate job involving a man with a talent for workplace tantrums, the exhausting business of setting boundaries, and a coffee walk that took a deeply disappointing turn. When Julie shared that he kept staring at her chest, the response was: "You tend to wear low-cut tops." Apparently, the shirt needed a performance review.  From women making excuses for badly behaved men to the things you don't say because someone is your client, Julie unpacks a comment she still hasn't forgotten. There's also an unexpected LinkedIn appearance, an imaginary conversation she'd love to have, and the possibility of retiring Bothered for a much less necessary "Happy Stories" podcast. 🛏️ Sponsored by Obasan Discover organic mattresses and bedding handcrafted in Ottawa, Canada, using organic latex, cotton, and wool.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is flying solo this week, and she's particularly bothered. Someone has been mean to her daughter, and apparently the appropriate parenting response is "How did that make you feel?" instead of saying everything that immediately comes to mind. 🍬 What starts with a deliberately cruel candy encounter brings up a pattern of exclusion, an upsetting comment about her daughter's body, and Julie's struggle to figure out where compassion ends and drawing a firm boundary begins. Along the way, she admits her own kid isn't perfect, questions whether she and her husband need more sanitized "parenting personalities," and takes a detour into parents who casually mention their second property but never ask you a single question back.  It's an honest, sweary episode about protective parent rage, childhood mean behaviour, and trying to help your kid without letting your own anger take over. Julie has plenty of feelings. A perfectly gracious response? Still working on that. 💬 Have you dealt with someone repeatedly being mean to your child? What did you say, and what actually helped?

XO, Kitty's Anna Cathcart on Why Kitty Is Unhinged | Part 2 Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim continues her live conversation with XO, Kitty star Anna Cathcart about family, growing up in Vancouver, perfectionism—and all the ways Anna and Kitty Song Covey are completely different. In Part 2, Anna plays "What Would Anna Do vs. What Would Kitty Do?" and reveals how each of them would respond to an unflattering Instagram photo, being left on read and someone watching all their stories. While Anna tends to overthink everything, Kitty acts on impulse—and sometimes makes choices Anna considers completely unhinged. Anna also talks about the sacrifices her mom made for her acting career, why Vancouver keeps her grounded, her lifelong struggle to relax, travelling with her childhood Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed animal and what she hopes could happen in a fourth season of XO, Kitty. 🎤 Recorded live at ARC Talks in Toronto.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim sits down with XO, Kitty star Anna Cathcart for a live conversation about being left out in high school, growing up in the public eye, handling online criticism and learning to protect your mental health. In Part 1, Anna reveals that she wasn't invited to any of her classmates' private graduation parties or proms during her COVID graduation year. She also talks about the surreal journey from feeling overlooked in high school to starring in her own Netflix series, appearing on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list and attending the Oscars. Anna and Julie also get into the pressure of being compared to Kitty, the online criticism surrounding Anna's Korean in XO, Kitty, living with anxiety and why finding your people often requires being completely yourself. 🎤 Recorded live at ARC Talks in Toronto.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Darcy Michael is back for Part 2, and this conversation goes from deeply personal to completely unhinged. Darcy tells Julie about grieving his father while being recognized in public, the uncomfortable side of internet fame, and the moments when you desperately wish you could become anonymous again. Then come the career disasters: being cut out of The Twilight Zone, having someone else dub his voice in a movie, nearly throwing away the opportunity that changed his career, and discovering that Oprah knew exactly who he was—and apparently did not like him. Darcy also shares how TikTok gave him an entirely new career, why every comedian has to keep evolving, and what happens when fans turn a meet-and-greet into an unexpected therapy session.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Darcy Michael joins Julie Kim for Part 1 of a wonderfully unfiltered conversation about marriage, comedy, ADHD and the strange things people do to avoid bothering each other. Darcy explains why some couples refuse to fart in front of each other, why sea lions interrupt the morning, how comedy credentials have been replaced by social-media numbers and what genuinely bothers Darcy about people today. It's funny, ridiculous, occasionally thoughtful and proof that no relationship survives without discussing bodily functions eventually. 🎬 Part 2 of Julie's conversation with Darcy Michael is coming next Wednesday.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Singer-songwriter and digital creator Alex Porat joins Julie Kim for a funny, painfully relatable conversation about being almost impossible to bother—until she arrives with a categorized list of pet peeves.  Alex explains why she invents sympathetic backstories for terrible drivers, what it's like travelling with musical equipment, and why airplane window-shade etiquette matters more than people realize. She and Julie also get into restaurants that hide their prices, QR-code menus, people who lie about how far away something is, chronic lateness, awkward fan photos and the strange world of social-media comments. Apparently, even the chillest person has a breaking point. She may just be too polite to tell you. ✍️ 🏨 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY RODD HOTELS & RESORTS Experience genuine Maritime hospitality with Rodd Hotels & Resorts, with welcoming hotels and resorts across Atlantic Canada.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is back with a solo episode from beautiful Prince Edward Island—and she has discovered that a family vacation is only a vacation if you're not the mom. Between delayed flights, missing luggage, unused food vouchers, mosquito attacks, birthday presents, forgotten bras and a family determined to travel without carrying any of their own belongings, Julie unpacks the mental load that follows moms everywhere—even to a gorgeous East Coast resort. Why does Mom have to anticipate when everyone will be hungry? Why is she responsible for the sunscreen, water, travel documents and extra clothing? And how are her husband and daughter swimming while she's still working? It's a funny, honest and painfully relatable rant about family travel, invisible labour and trying to enjoy the vacation you planned for everybody else. 🏨 THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RODD HOTELS & RESORTS Rodd Hotels & Resorts generously hosted Julie and her family during their Atlantic Canada trip, including stays at Rodd Moncton and the beautiful Rodd Brudenell River Resort in Prince Edward Island.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Entrepreneur, investor, author, and longtime Dragon Arlene Dickinson joins Julie Kim for an honest conversation about women, power, confidence, and learning to claim your space. Arlene explains why women face greater scrutiny in leadership, how the "glass cliff" can set successful women up to take the blame, and why being ignored bothers her more than being interrupted. She also opens up about the pressures of having a public platform, her discomfort with self promotion, the unexpected places people have pitched business ideas to her, and why being single today can be a confident and deliberate choice. It is a thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly candid conversation about speaking up, living fully, and refusing to make yourself smaller.   ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting, or sitting on your cheeks.

Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim sits down with legendary comedian Jeremy Hotz for a hilariously anxious conversation about the strange people and everyday situations that make life unbearable. Jeremy shares the childhood circus encounter that sent him into years of counselling, his distrust of mechanics, flying beside suspicious passengers, helping his 91 year old mother with her television, dating, relationships and the comedy career moments he still cannot forget. From angry circus performers and spiteful airplane behaviour to politicians, carnies and questionable human beings, Jeremy proves that everyone is a little suspect.  📦 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY FROGBOX Make moving easier with reusable moving boxes delivered right to your door.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Comedian and Emmy-nominated writer Laurie Kilmartin joins Julie Kim to talk about holding grudges, motherhood, anonymous message boards—and the secret revenge she took on an ex who cheated. Laurie won't reveal exactly what she did because, apparently, he still doesn't know it was her. They also get into why every inconvenience feels personal, the joy of no longer being needed, women's guilt, online surveillance, Korean dramas, and Julie's deeply regrettable childhood revenge story.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is joined by three-time Emmy Award-winning voice actor Eric Bauza—the voice behind Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, Marvin the Martian and more—for a hilarious conversation about road rage in multiple voices, overenthusiastic fans and raising a son who just wants his dad to "be normal." Eric reveals why he keeps his car windows up while yelling at bad drivers, what it means to carry on characters made famous by Mel Blanc, why he dedicates his awards to the animation legend, and what happens when fans care more about his clothes—or Tom Kenny—than him. Julie and Eric also get into Peter Cullen and Optimus Prime, vintage cartoon shirts, Comic-Con culture, Filipino and Canadian humility, and the nightmare mechanic who kept Eric's uncle's 1968 Pontiac GTO in pieces for years. From arriving 45 minutes late to discovering that his son is his harshest voice critic, this episode proves that even one of animation's biggest voices can be deeply bothered. ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting or sitting on your cheeks.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is joined by Property Brothers co-host Drew Scott for a hilarious and unexpectedly intense conversation about houseguests who ignore the rules, strangers who cut airport lines, crows that recognize faces, squirrels conspiring to destroy his lawn, and neighbours who leave dog poop on the sidewalk—then get offended when they're called out. Drew reveals why his home has its own booking system and guest rules, how he used technology to wage war against crows, why he confronts people who break social contracts, and what happens when Property Brothers fans cross the line. From road rage and public confrontations to a bar of soap made with underwear and hair, this episode proves Drew Scott is far more bothered than he looks. ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting, or sitting on your cheeks.

Leslie explains why she lives by her calendar, how another podcast completely mishandled her booking, and why a vague apology is sometimes worse than no apology at all. Julie and Leslie also get into people who disrespect your time, the discomfort of asking friends for career help, wedding planning on a budget, and why everyone involved in a B list has to agree to be a little fake. 👓 THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY KAY-TRAN Kay-Tran Eyewear creates stylish glasses designed for low nose bridges, with sunglasses, prescription glasses, and blue light options available across Canada and the United States. https://kaytran.com   🎤 FOLLOW JULIE KIM Website: https://juliekimcomedy.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/juliekimcomedy TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@juliekimcomedy YouTube: https://youtube.com/@juliekimcomedy   🎙️ FOLLOW LESLIE LIAO Website: https://leslieliao.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/resrieriao TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@resrieriao YouTube: https://youtube.com/@leslieliao Watch Leslie Liao's comedy special Silky Smooth on YouTube.   IN THIS EPISODE: • Leslie explains why her calm voice is completely misleading • Why cancelled plans and scheduling mistakes make her furious • The podcast booking disaster that wasted Leslie's entire morning • Why weak apologies can make a bad situation even worse • Julie and Leslie discuss people who do not respect your time • Why Leslie refuses to ask friends to book her on their podcasts • Transactional relationships and favors in the comedy industry • Leslie's reluctance to burden other people • How family and childhood shaped her independence • Planning a micro wedding in Santa Barbara • The awkward truth about wedding guest B lists • Why Leslie's B list still feels like an A list • Ghosting versus receiving brutally honest feedback • Getting bumped from comedy clubs for influencers • Why scheduling matters until the very end 🎧 WATCH MORE BOTHERED Subscribe for new episodes of Bothered with Julie Kim every Wednesday.
