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.

With waterfront views, golf, pools, outdoor activities, horseback riding and genuine East Coast hospitality, Rodd Hotels helped make this family trip incredibly special.

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.

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.

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. It's funny, dark, petty and painfully relatable.

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.

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.

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.
