A cup of coffee isn’t just a pick‑me‑up. For many of us, it’s a ritual that reminds us who we are — where we’ve been, and who we show up for.
Science has a name for what happens at the table: connection therapy. Jokes, memories, and conversations light up brain regions linked to reward and attention. For adults 60+, that social spark supports mood, focus, and resilience — the same qualities we want when life gets loud.
Welcome to Beat the Bot — our Retro‑Modern Series where short videos meet warm conversation. Each week we drop a 9:16 story shot right here in Pierce County, and you jump in with your take: quicker, funnier, or wiser than our friendly AI co‑host.
How to play:
1) Watch the short.
2) Post your answer or memory in the comments.
3) We’ll feature one response in next week’s clip (and sometimes buy the coffee).
Why it matters: staying sharp is less about beating the clock and more about keeping your people. The cup helps; the company heals. Let’s make Pierce County the easiest place to talk, laugh, and learn out loud — one sip at a time.
