    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.

    Reading My Hater Comments | EP057

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim is back with a brutally honest and hilarious breakdown of the most ridiculous, clueless, and straight up annoying hater comments from season one. From being told she "overthinks everything" to people denying racism exists, Julie claps back at the internet with sharp insight, comedy, and zero patience. This episode dives into everyday microaggressions, the mental load women carry, and why some people completely miss the point.

    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.

    Strap-On the Carry-On | EP053

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. Julie Kim may or may not have turned herself into human carry on luggage to avoid excess baggage fees at the airport. From bending airline rules to strapping belongings onto her own body, this episode is a chaotic travel confession about airport anxiety, budget hacks, and how far we will go to avoid paying extra.

    The Mental Load of Summer Camp | EP052

    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.
