    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.

    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.

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.

    Never Look a Re-Gift Horse in the Mouth | EP043

    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?

    Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim dives into the wild world of Facebook Marketplace, where logic goes to die and lowballers thrive.

And just when you think it cant get worse, another shopper demands she deliver an item for free even though the post clearly said PICK UPS ONLY in bold, caps, and probably large enough to be seen from space. It is a mix of petty negotiations, unhinged expectations and the kind of everyday nonsense that only Julie can turn into comedy gold.

    Go Back to China Said the Immigrant to the Immigrant | EP018

    Get ready to be BOTHERED by the story of a racially charged incident in a Toronto grocery store. It involved a grown fake tanned man in a tank top who told woman to "go back to China."

What followed was a confrontation and emotional breaking point for Julie Kim⁠.   See blog on the ⁠podcast website⁠ for an extended story including pictures and video.
