First off, our thoughts and hearts go out to the friends and families impacted by last week's shooting at the Monterey Park Lunar New Year festival.

The Midnight Memo is thinking of you in the wake of this awful tragedy. This episode was recorded weeks prior, so although it is not mentioned in the video, you are in our hearts, and we stand proud with our Chinese/Asian-American community.

Now, onto the other stuffs. Chinese--or Lunar--New Years, celebrates the beginning of a new year according to the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. It's a time for families to reunite over food, and perform customs to believed to bring maximum good luck in the new year.

Listen in as Kristen and Claire rediscover their adolescent teenage identity crisis(es) of being caught between cultures, seeking acceptance by their communities, and yearning for a space to belong to--in this week's episode of The Midnight Memo!

Woah! Season 3 is here!

Have you ever had holiday travel plans be utterly ruined by the winter weather? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Do you believe in manifestation?

As 2022 wrapped, it seemed to slowly devolve into chaos. Firstly, holiday travel turned into a nightmare as the extreme winter wether hit Seattle, and most of the US. Then New Year's resolutions came and went too quickly for us to even think about what we want in the upcoming year. But luckily, creating some vision boards helped us to at least create achievable goals and a path forward.

Join Claire and Kristen on the FIRST episode of Season 3 of The Midnight Memo as they share their chaotic holiday travel stories, how they created their New Year's resolutions, and even created vision boards for the year to come!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!! Can you believe that we are coming to the end of a year! 

If you haven't noticed, there are some WEIRD Christmas songs that have become a tradition to listen to every year for the holiday season; one of which is "12 Days of Christmas". Have you listened to the lyrics lately? We definitely have!

Join Claire and Kristen this week on The Midnight Memo as they break down their interpretation of the infamous Christmas carol, the "12 Days of Christmas"! This is all in the spirit of holiday fun, so we hope you can share some laughs as we close out the year.

FOOD FIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Just kidding.
But not in some ways.
In this week's episode of the Midnight Memo, Kristen and Claire partake in a festive debate about foods.

Are chicken nuggets or chicken tenders better?
How are oysters aphrodisiac?
Do you like your tofu extra firm?
Are hotdogs sandwiches?
How "cubular" do you like your starches?
WE WANNA KNOW!

FUN FACT! If you didn't know, growing up in an asian household is an experience miles away from growing up in a white household. 

Did your family push you to get good grades in school and compete against friends for the position of valedictorian?  Or did your parents let you wear your shoes inside the house? Join Kristen and Claire in this week's episode of The Midnight Memo where they just scrape the surface of growing up in their respective houses and the drastic differences they experienced. Now, we know you probably know this, but these are OUR experiences and they may or may not differ from your own! If they do, share your experiences below!!

P.S. Apologies for the bad video quality this week! Classic technical difficulties, lol.

Cue Nirvana...

Remember when you were a teenager, and you couldn't wait to grow up and "be an adult" so you could make your own rules and do what you wanted--when you wanted. And although now the ladies can buy a cake and eat the entire thing in one sitting because no one can tell them otherwise, "adulting" isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Join Kristen and Claire this week, on The Midnight Memo, as they talk some teenage delinquency, parties and clubbing, and identification..

Y'ALL, IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME! WINTER IS COMING! (*inserts GOT meme here)

We are headed into the holiday season, and I guess that means that the weather decided to take a hard left. Join Kristen and Claire this week on The Midnight Memo as they talk about the weather changing, time changing, and their controversial opinions about the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Winter is definitely sneaking up on us this year and Daylight Savings is truly messing with our heads! 

How do you feel about "Turkey Day"? Now that we know more about the history, do we like the holiday?

HAPPY SCORPIO SZN!!!

Surely you've heard the phrase, "giving your 2¢"--but what if we gave you 25?...

In this week's episode of The Midnight Memo, listen to a mix of funny and serious "life" lessons Kristen and Claire have learned from their lives up until now--from cold hard facts to tough pills to swallow to ever evolving growth.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

I know, it can be embarrassing talking about what happens behind the hallowed bathroom door, BUTT it happens to everyone! 

In this week's episode of The Midnight Memo, join Claire and Kristen in their first installment of Toilet Talks. As we all know, the bathroom can be a place for a fun of things like getting ready for a fun night out, or bad things.... you know what we're talking about. But when things get tough, our toilet bowls are tougher! 

The girls expose some ins and outs (mostly outs) of what happens in the girls bathroom and touch on what the guys bathrooms are like from their pov's. 

CALLING ALL BOYS: What is your aiming strategy?

Welcome to the fourth, and FINAL episode of SPOOK-TOBER!

Rounding out our special Spook-tober series, we decided to take on an extra creepy--and very real--topic.

McKamey Manor.

Now this episode is not for the faint of heart. A quick Google search will show you that this "establishment" has been dubbed a "horror survivalists' bootcamp". If you can even call it that...

Bordering on insanity, participants sign away their physical condition, mental state, and even life rights for the opportunity to walk through a personally curated, real-life nightmare and see if they can make out alive.

If you think you are up for the challenge, join The Midnight Memo this week to hear the bone chilling reality one man has created in his own backyard.
