Bothered – Details, episodes & analysis

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. Julie Kim dives into a parenting debate that is blowing up online: are sleepovers actually safe anymore? From cautious boundaries to full on bans, Julie unpacks why more parents are saying no to overnight stays and shares a truly unhinged story of receiving a text from a complete stranger claiming "I'm with your child." What follows is a chaotic breakdown of modern parenting anxiety, stranger danger in the digital age, and the absolute audacity of being asked to send your kid to someone's house to swim without ever meeting them. If you've ever questioned how much trust is too much when it comes to your kids, this episode will have you laughing, stressed, and very much BOTHERED.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey and talking about body checking, but not the kind that happens on the ice. This episode dives into shocking viral clips of adults elbowing and knocking over children in public spaces and why random acts of aggression seem to be everywhere online right now. Julie also shares two personal stories of being violently shoved by strangers in Vancouver, including one incident when she was seven months pregnant in a Whole Foods elevator area. From public transit platforms to crowded city spaces, Julie explores why these moments of random violence happen, why victims often freeze instead of fighting back, and why calling this behavior out publicly might be the only way to stop it. It is a raw, funny, and uncomfortable look at the strange tension of modern city life and the kind of everyday aggression that really bothers Julie.

Get ready to be BOTHERED. Summer camp registration is basically the Olympics for moms and this year Julie signed her kid up from a hot yoga class in Moncton while 900 parents sat ahead of her in a digital queue. From melting phones and downward dog stress to coordinating with other families, overnight camp FOMO and the invisible mental load that somehow always lands on women, Julie unpacks why moms are still the default camp coordinators even when men can run fantasy leagues and corporations. It is about camps, but it is really about resentment, partnership dynamics, outsourcing childhood, grocery strategy, rotisserie chicken survival meals and the quiet rage of doing everything because it is "just easier." If you have ever refreshed a registration page, carried the family calendar in your brain or wondered why you are the CEO of logistics at home, this one is for you.

Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim breaks down one of those airplane moments that makes absolutely no sense. While seated in an emergency exit row, Julie realizes the responsibility for opening the exit door has been assigned to a woman who looks about 100 years old and barely holding on meanwhile a fully jacked capable guy sits comfortably in the aisle seat with zero responsibility at all. Julie unpacks the absurd logic behind airline seating rules, unspoken social expectations, and why responsibility always seems to land on the wrong person. It's funny, awkward, and painfully relatable especially if you've ever wondered who actually decides this stuff.
