    Darcy Michael on Oprah, Career Disasters & Reinventing Himself Online - Part 2 | EP082

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Darcy Michael is back for Part 2, and this conversation goes from deeply personal to completely unhinged. Darcy tells Julie about grieving his father while being recognized in public, the uncomfortable side of internet fame, and the moments when you desperately wish you could become anonymous again. Then come the career disasters: being cut out of The Twilight Zone, having someone else dub his voice in a movie, nearly throwing away the opportunity that changed his career, and discovering that Oprah knew exactly who he was—and apparently did not like him. Darcy also shares how TikTok gave him an entirely new career, why every comedian has to keep evolving, and what happens when fans turn a meet-and-greet into an unexpected therapy session.

    Darcy Michael on Marriage, Farting & What Actually Bothers Him - Part 1 | EP081

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Darcy Michael joins Julie Kim for Part 1 of a wonderfully unfiltered conversation about marriage, comedy, ADHD and the strange things people do to avoid bothering each other. Darcy explains why some couples refuse to fart in front of each other, why sea lions interrupt the morning, how comedy credentials have been replaced by social-media numbers and what genuinely bothers Darcy about people today. It's funny, ridiculous, occasionally thoughtful and proof that no relationship survives without discussing bodily functions eventually. 🎬 Part 2 of Julie's conversation with Darcy Michael is coming next Wednesday.

    Alex Porat on People-Pleasing, Travel Etiquette & Her List of Pet Peeves | EP080

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Singer-songwriter and digital creator Alex Porat joins Julie Kim for a funny, painfully relatable conversation about being almost impossible to bother—until she arrives with a categorized list of pet peeves.  Alex explains why she invents sympathetic backstories for terrible drivers, what it's like travelling with musical equipment, and why airplane window-shade etiquette matters more than people realize. She and Julie also get into restaurants that hide their prices, QR-code menus, people who lie about how far away something is, chronic lateness, awkward fan photos and the strange world of social-media comments. Apparently, even the chillest person has a breaking point. She may just be too polite to tell you. ✍️ 🏨 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY RODD HOTELS & RESORTS Experience genuine Maritime hospitality with Rodd Hotels & Resorts, with welcoming hotels and resorts across Atlantic Canada.

    Why Moms Hate Family Vacations | EP079

    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.

    Arlene Dickinson on Women, Power and Choosing to Be Single | EP078

    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.   ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting, or sitting on your cheeks.

    Jeremy Hotz Trusts Absolutely No One | EP077

    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.  📦 THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY FROGBOX Make moving easier with reusable moving boxes delivered right to your door.

    Laurie Kilmartin on Cheating Exes, Mom Guilt & Anonymous Confessions | EP076

    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. 👓 SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR Stylish eyewear thoughtfully designed for low nose bridges.

    Eric Bauza on Voicing Bugs Bunny, Weird Fans & Being a "Normal Dad" | EP075

    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. ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting or sitting on your cheeks.
