  Speaker 1: I need to tell you two things. Coffee and Christine's.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Two pretty cool things.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Christine, you probably know this, but on Thursday, it's International
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Coffee Day.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I did not.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: So I found a fun coffee fact. The first webcam
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: actually was watching a coffee pot. Researchers at Cambridge set
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: up a camera in 1991 so they could check the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Trojan Room coffee pot without leaving their desks. The images
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: became available on the web in 1993, creating the very
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: first webcam. Now, in 2001, the longest serving pot was
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: auctioned off on eBay for $ 5, 000. That pot that was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: being seen on the webcam.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Five grand back in 2001. What a great idea. You know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we could put a little camera.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Keep an eye on our coffee.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: At your desk. Yeah. Because we have an old school.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the old school potted coffee on the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: fifth floor? They have an old school one where you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: don't have to put a K-cup in or anything.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, like a real pot of coffee?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So you really have to watch it and see when
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's ready.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love those.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It just tastes really good, yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: What's your cool thing?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Well, these are for our Costco friends, Cubby, Producer Kristen,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to you. Their famous food court churro is back.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: After more than two years off the menu, it's a
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: foot-long twisted churro rolling out nationwide for a limited time, kids,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: for $ 1. 49. which makes it cheaper than their double chocolate
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: chunk cookie that replaced it in 2024. The churro is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: warm cinnamon sugar, and it should be at your location
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: within the next couple of weeks. Some fans are already
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: pairing it with the food court's soft serve for an
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: extra cheap churro sundae.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The Costco food people are really breaking this down.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: They know what to do with it, yes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: All right, two pretty cool things right here on Light FM.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
