January 18, 2022 Can I Bother You? Trailer
Welcome to Can I Bother You, hosted by me, AJ Reyes. I’m an actor/singer/hot mess with no idea of what I’m doing. Each week I’ll talk to artists and entrepreneurs to ask if they knew what they were doing when they did the things they’ve done. If you have dreams and goals, but no idea of how to achieve them, you might get something out of Can I Bother You. Doing things is really hard, so if you’re down to commiserate and possibly feel motivated, let’s be friends! Subscribe to Can I Bother You wherever you get your podcasts so we can hang out every week and either get better at life or complain about how hard it is. Ideally, we’ll do both.

August 05, 2021 54. Can I Confront You? - Difficult conversations and how to avoid them
There’s something we need to discuss. It’s discussions. Like, you know, the hard ones. Nobody likes them, but we all have to have them now and then. This week, AJ and Timothy share thoughts, anxieties, and ways of approaching complicated conversations. It’s more fun (and funnier) than it sounds, I promise. And if you make it to the end, maybe you’ll get a jeans day!

July 29, 2021 53. Can I Date You? - Part 5
CW: Frank discussion of sexual activity, sexual assault, and adult situations.

🎶 “It’s the final date-down!” 🎶* This week, we bring you the conclusion of our fan-favorite (maybe?) “Can I Date You?” pentalogy. You’ll hear tales of childhood sweetheartery gone awry from Timothy and a litany of scandalicious naughtitudes from AJ, all intertwined with the classic CIBY wit that you’ve come to admire and/or suffer through. This is your last chance for pillow talk and whispered sweet nothings from the boys, so get it while it’s hot. *failed seductive winking*
*alternatively - 🎶 “It’s the final dick-down!” 🎶

July 22, 2021 52. Can I Know What You Did Last Summer? - Favorite movies vs. first-time movies
CW: Brief mentions of sexual assault/harassment and attempted suicide as plot elements.

Lights! Camera! Action- er, sitting around talking about movies! This week, we’ve assigned each other three new-to-the-other-but-favorite-to-ourselves movies to watch and discuss. AJ gave Timothy Pretty Woman, My Girl, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Timothy gave AJ It’s a Wonderful Life, To Wong Foo…, and The Big Lebowski. In this feature-length episode, we’re serving you Siskel and Ebert realness. Is that too dated a reference? Ebert and Roeper? Statler and Waldorf? Just listen, okay?

July 15, 2021 51. Can I TTYL? - Saying goodbye and staying goodbyed
So long. Farewell. Auf Wiedersehen. Good night. No matter how you say goodbye, it isn’t always easy to do. But maybe we can help! In this episode, AJ tells you how to perfect your dramatic exit, Timothy muddles his way through a pretty big announcement, and you’ll get to see multiple examples of how poised and awkward they are, respectively. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but you’ll forget this ep before tomorrow.

July 08, 2021 50. Can I Avoid My Problems With You? - Unhealthy coping mechanisms like reading, meditation, and yoga
We’re not mental health professionals, but that’s never stopped us from making wild claims about psychology before! In this spiritual successor to CIBY Episode 4 (“Can I Handle My Life With You?”), AJ and Timothy meditate on meditation, avoid talking about what they’re avoiding, and generally cope with coping. What do Mister Ed and former President Barack Obama have in common? How might your friend group’s changing dynamics be part of a massive flat-earth coverup? And who’s to say how many cookies is too many cookies? Answers to these questions and more (or maybe not) await you the second you hit that play button.
