    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.

    Drew Scott on House Rules, Crow Wars, and Bad Neighbours | EP074

    Get ready to be BOTHERED. This week, Julie Kim is joined by Property Brothers co-host Drew Scott for a hilarious and unexpectedly intense conversation about houseguests who ignore the rules, strangers who cut airport lines, crows that recognize faces, squirrels conspiring to destroy his lawn, and neighbours who leave dog poop on the sidewalk—then get offended when they're called out. Drew reveals why his home has its own booking system and guest rules, how he used technology to wage war against crows, why he confronts people who break social contracts, and what happens when Property Brothers fans cross the line. From road rage and public confrontations to a bar of soap made with underwear and hair, this episode proves Drew Scott is far more bothered than he looks. ✨ SPONSORED BY KAYTRAN EYEWEAR ✨ KayTran creates thoughtfully designed eyewear for low nose bridges that stays put without slipping, lifting, or sitting on your cheeks.
