    That Seems Unsafe | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #049

    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.

    Eyes That Kiss In The Corners | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #045

    Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim calls out a racist gesture that should not still be happening but somehow keeps resurfacing. Julie breaks down a moment where someone pulled their eyes back to mock Asians and why this kind of behavior is not harmless not funny and not something people get to excuse away as ignorance. She connects it to the recent Miss Universe winner from Finland who did the same gesture publicly and unpacks how exhausting it is to watch grown adults pretend they do not know exactly what they are doing. Julie speaks honestly about the casual normalization of anti Asian racism the emotional toll of having to explain why it is offensive and the frustration of seeing the same apologies play out over and over again. This episode is uncomfortable necessary and deeply personal blending humor anger and truth in a way only Julie can. It is about calling things what they are setting boundaries and being done with pretending this behavior is acceptable. 🎧 Listen and follow Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bothered/id1795849350 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2I8ebbGrfwnl2tv8hHpb9F 📱 Follow Julie Kim Instagram https://www.instagram.com/juliekimcomedy TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@juliekimcomedy Website https://www.juliekimcomedy.com 📧 Got a story bothered@juliekimcomedy.com 🎥 Produced by Slate6ix Media https://www.slate6ixmedia.com #BotheredPodcast #JulieKim #Slate6ixMedia #AntiAsianRacism #RacismIsNotFunny #CallItOut #AsianRepresentation #CulturalRespect #ComedyWithPurpose #WomenOfColor #SpeakUp #AccountabilityMatters #ModernCulture #RealConversations #UncomfortableTruths #SocialAwareness #ComedyPodcast #StandupEnergy #RepresentationMatters #CallingItOut

    Never Look a Re-Gift Horse in the Mouth | Julie Kim | Bothered Podcast #043

    Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim unpacks the chaotic art of the regift, a realm where social etiquette goes to die and people apparently assume no one can recognize a bag of random leftovers. Fresh off her daughters birthday party, Julie is handed a so called thoughtful present that is actually a grab bag of mismatched toys with the energy of someone cleaning out their car before the party started. To make things even better, she received it right before hopping on a flight to Europe because nothing says bon voyage like carrying a sack of suspiciously familiar trinkets across an ocean. And just when you think the regifting chaos has peaked, Julie cheekily calls out another friend by asking for the gift receipt a polite request that instantly exposes the truth. It is a perfect mix of petty social gymnastics, unhinged gifting strategies and the kind of everyday nonsense that only Julie can spin into pure comedy gold. Buckle up the regift rodeo begins. 🎧 New episodes every Wednesday 🔗 Listen & Follow Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2I8ebbGrfwnl2tv8hHpb9F?si=s_pH4svdQauND2uPztW-rA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bothered/id1795849350  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieKimComedy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliekimcomedy TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@juliekimcomedy Website: https://www.juliekimcomedy.com 👀 Extended blog, photos, and video: www.juliekimcomedy.com/podcast 📧 Got a story?
