Get ready to be BOTHERED. Leslie Liao joins Julie Kim for a funny, painfully relatable episode about wasted time, cancelled plans, transactional relationships, Hollywood favors, and the social nightmare of discovering you are on someone's wedding B list.

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.

Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim is joined by actor, comedian, writer, Emmy nominated filmmaker, and Oscar shortlisted documentarian Kiran Deol for an episode about rage, revenge, AI, dating apps, corporate nonsense, and the deeply insulting experience of fighting a giant system just to get $14 back.

Kiran talks about being a natural hater, why the word "content" bothers her, why big tech and algorithms make everything feel worse, and how she uses "the robot to fight the robot" when dealing with corporations, customer service, health insurance, and impossible systems. Julie and Kiran also get into the joy of justified rage, men in comment sections, bad behaviour on planes, and why some people make being bothered feel like a public service.

Get ready to be BOTHERED.

From awkward power dynamics to acting roles, Avatar fans, martial arts assumptions, and learning when to leave the wrong room, this episode is funny, sharp, honest, and painfully relatable.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is flying solo with a travel story that starts with one simple rule: the middle seat gets both armrests. What should have been a normal flight turned into a full airplane etiquette showdown when an entitled passenger took the armrest, dismissed Julie's point as "garbage," grabbed her phone to read the proof, and later let his knee creep into her seat space. From loud phone volume to bad apologies to the kind of confidence only a terrible passenger can have, Julie breaks down why she refuses to sit quietly and be uncomfortable for 4.5 hours just because someone else does not know how to behave. It is petty, specific, deeply relatable, and exactly the kind of thing worth being BOTHERED about.
