Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is joined by Ryan & Amy for a chaotic and painfully relatable episode about texting back, scam calls, Vancouver crows, cold strangers, group chat etiquette, and the tiny social rules that somehow turn into full emotional sagas. Ryan is bothered by friends who take 24 to 48 hours to reply like they disappeared from society, Amy brings peak bothered energy about scam callers and everyday nonsense, and Julie turns delayed texts, public friendliness, and crow attacks into exactly the kind of comedy spiral Bothered was made for.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim sits down with actor, producer, director, and certified screen stealer Yvonne Chapman for a very funny, very real conversation about bad job interviews, corporate sexism, Asian representation, taking up space, and the moments that make you wish you had said something sooner. Yvonne shares the unbelievable story of a CEO who turned a job interview into a full red flag parade by asking if being a woman and possibly having kids would be a problem, while Julie connects it to her own experience being underestimated in professional spaces. 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.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is joined by bestselling author Jen Sookfong Lee for a funny, honest, and painfully relatable conversation about beauty standards, aging, Asian family comments, motherhood, social media perfection, and why women are expected to keep fixing themselves while also pretending everything is fine. From Botox, fillers, cottage cheese, looksmaxing, and everyone starting to look the same, to childhood memories of wanting different eyes, a different nose, a different face, and the pressure to be quiet, polite, and pretty, Julie and Jen get into the kind of stuff that stays with you for years. It is funny, personal, and very Bothered.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week Julie Kim sits down with legendary Canadian comedian, actor, writer, and Corner Gas creator Brent Butt for a smart, funny, and surprisingly timely conversation about road rage, why the bad guys seem to be winning, how comedians survive brutal gigs, and what actually keeps him bothered these days. Brent talks about his famously dry version of road rage, old school comedy life, the camaraderie among comics, and why hope still matters even when the world feels increasingly chaotic. It is thoughtful, funny, and very Brent.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is joined by Olivia Cheng (Warrior, Marco Polo) for a conversation that starts with a shocking real-life body check in Vancouver and spirals into stories about public aggression, social tension, and the subtle ways people cross the line. From sidewalk confrontations to drive-thru chaos, Olivia breaks down how these moments build—and when to stand your ground versus walk away. The episode takes a deeper turn as Olivia shares a powerful story from her past that reshapes how she sees conflict today, before the two dive into a rapid-fire round on modern annoyances like interrupting, ignoring, and social etiquette. It's sharp, funny, and uncomfortably relatable.
