    Brent Butt on Road Rage, Bad Guys, and Comedy | EP062

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week Julie Kim sits down with legendary Canadian comedian, actor, writer, and Corner Gas creator Brent Butt for a smart, funny, and surprisingly timely conversation about road rage, why the bad guys seem to be winning, how comedians survive brutal gigs, and what actually keeps him bothered these days. Brent talks about his famously dry version of road rage, old school comedy life, the camaraderie among comics, and why hope still matters even when the world feels increasingly chaotic. It is thoughtful, funny, and very Brent.

    Olivia Cheng - Body Checked | EP058

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is joined by Olivia Cheng (Warrior, Marco Polo) for a conversation that starts with a shocking real-life body check in Vancouver and spirals into stories about public aggression, social tension, and the subtle ways people cross the line. From sidewalk confrontations to drive-thru chaos, Olivia breaks down how these moments build—and when to stand your ground versus walk away. The episode takes a deeper turn as Olivia shares a powerful story from her past that reshapes how she sees conflict today, before the two dive into a rapid-fire round on modern annoyances like interrupting, ignoring, and social etiquette. It's sharp, funny, and uncomfortably relatable.

    All Her Fault | EP056

    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.

    When A Stranger Attacks | EP055

    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.
