MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Everyday items you can thank NASA for inventing

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Everyday items you can thank NASA for inventing

It’s no secret that some of the brightest people on earth work for NASA. We all know they can build spaceships, rockets, and fancy space suits. But who knew they are to thank for a lot of the things we use in life every single day!

Some of the many products that came from NASA inventions are memory foam, freeze-dried food, smoke detectors, water filters, joysticks, cordless tools, and satellite TV.

So thank you smart people of NASA for all of these things. Amazing!

There’s a lot of bad TV out there, but there is rarely a show that Anna feels morally obligated to not watch.  Until now… (:31)

Do you a specific way you buy clothes?  Raven will buy anything that fits without a second thought, but his wife Alicia is far more picky… (3:41)

Not every shoe can be worn with socks, but if you’re trying on shoes with just your bare feet, that’s all I need to know about you! (7:41)

As a parent, you always do some things differently with your second child then with your first, but one article has laid out a few differences that they claim every parent goes through.  Raven decided to fact check it with Anna! (10:49)

People Magazine has given Chris Evans the title of Sexiest Man Alive!  But they also found the time to give titles to every member of the Anna and Raven show too! (14:49)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a gun hidden in a piece of poultry, an attempted egging of a monarch, and a CEO who passed out drunk in the wrong house! (18:35)

Do you have any weird habits when you travel by plane?  Anna was in tears when she realized she wouldn’t be able to travel to see her brother on a very specific part of the plane! (22:33)

Have you ever fallen into something? Three different people in the news have fallen into something in the last week, including a major celebrity! (30:19)

Parker’s brother recently started dating again after his wife passed away earlier this year. Parker thinks it’s too soon and wants to confront his brother about it. Parker’s wife, Samantha, says that it’s none of his business, plus, it’s been eight months, they didn’t have children, and he’s only 35. If he’s ready to date, then it’s totally acceptable. What would you do? (37:03)

Tim has got a shot at $3200! All he has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (45:50)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 18 year old saves someone from drowning after an NBA basketball game

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 18 year old saves someone from drowning after an NBA basketball game

Usually when you leave an NBA game at an arena in a major city you don’t expect to suddenly see someone drowning. But that’s exactly what happened to 18-year-old Finn Carter and his Dad up in Boston last Friday.

They had just enjoyed the Celtics game at TD Garden when they saw a guy drowning in the harbor nearby. Without hesitation Finn sprung into action and ran into the water to bring him to the side of the road. By the time he got him out the paramedics had arrived.

The next day Finn woke up and took the S.A.T.’s. Hopefully he had some good karma going for that test score.

Finn’s father said he’s really proud of his son for having that natural reaction to go immediately help someone in danger.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where do the I Voted stickers come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where do the I Voted stickers come from?

Hopefully you got your “I Voted” sticker after you hit the polls yesterday. The tradition of giving out the stickers started back in the early 80s in Miami and Phoenix as a way to encourage people to vote while creating a sense of community. Then caught on over the years to everywhere else.

The stickers cost less than a penny each to make. Usually the local governments order and pay for them. A company called Intab, who make all different kinds of election supplies, say they sell rolls  of 1,000 stickers for $7 a pop and normally sell more than 30 million per year.

And my pro tip to avoid missing out on your sticker for next election… vote early!
