MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Which car color holds it’s value the best?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Which car color holds it’s value the best?

If you’re thinking of selling or trading in your car anytime soon there’s one factor you may not have considered yet. “How will the color of my car affect the value?”

It’s definitely come thing to think about and the answer is that yellow and orange cars actually hold their value the best. While brown and gold hold it the worst.

Experts say the reason is that those yellow and orange colors are more rare as car colors so people are willing to pay a premium for them on the secondhand market.

My car is silver so I guess I’m out of luck.

Thursday June 9, 2022:  Best Senior Prank; Dumb Argument With Your Kid; Divorce Warning Signs

Nowadays, everything is more expensive.  Gas is one thing, but now even groceries are going up!  Anna and Raven found a list of ways to help keep food costs down.  (:30)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are: A man who confused an alligator with a dog, a movie star chimp fakes his death and an inmate escapes jail on a little girl’s bike!  (2:48)

If you’re the kind of person who tries to pick someone up at a bar while wear this particular piece of jewelry, that’s all I need to know about you!  Spoiler Alert: Not talking about a wedding ring…  (6:06)

What’s the dumbest argument you’ve ever gotten into with your kid?  Anna and her middle-schooler got into a heated debate over song lyrics and Anna actually ended up being wrong!  (9:38)

What was your senior prank?  Anna read a list of planned senior pranks for the class of ’22, but Raven thinks that they’re a little tame compared to what he used to do!  (17:02)

Can you tell that a couple will get divorced just by watching them on their wedding day?  Some wedding vendors claim that they can and, as a wedding vendor himself, Raven wanted to weigh in!  (28:20)

Do you find Dad Bod’s attractive?  Anna doesn’t but if you can convince her otherwise, you could win a $200 Home Depot gift card!  Today, Anna decided to speak to an expert, Anthropology Professor Richard Bribiescas, to get his take on the subject!  (31:55)

Derek believes that his fiancée Keisha is not faithful when she stays out all night “with her girlfriends”. Keisha says that if he trusts her, this is a non-issue, sometimes it’s just late and she crashes. When asked why she goes out if she knows it bothers him so much, she says she’s allowed to have her freedom too. Would it bother you if your significant other slept out on “friends night out”?  (35:54)

Jennifer thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can she succeed and win the $800 jackpot?  (45:01)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 4 best friends get pregnant at the same time… TWICE!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 4 best friends get pregnant at the same time… TWICE!

You’ve probably had that person in your life you’re really close with, a spouse, best friend, family member, that you start developing their habits and mannerisms simply because you spend so much time together. But this story is next level.

These four women who are best friends all managed to get pregnant at the exact same time. They ended up having the babies all within weeks of each other. If that wasn’t crazy enough, it then happened AGAIN with the second child!

Yup. All four of them got pregnant the second time together. This time around they gave birth a little more spread out, within a few months. But how cool is it that all 8 of their kids will grow up together being the same age? Those will be some fun birthday parties for years to come.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are The Simpsons yellow?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are The Simpsons yellow?

If you’ve spent your whole lived watching The Simpsons and wondering why they are yellow, I have found the answer. It’s pretty simple actually.

Simpsons creator Matt Groening has said a few times that he did it because he wanted the cartoon to be eye-catching. So when someone was flipping through channels (like people used to do back when The Simpsons first came out), he figured the bright yellow color of characters would catch people’s eyes and make them go back to watch the show or stay on the show as they’re flipping. And Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie have been yellow ever since.
