So I thought that was pretty surprising.

They're also shaking up their menu, too.

They are ditching Papa Dia's sandwiches and Papa Bites pizza rolls, which why would you even get into pizza rolls?

You can never compete with Totino's in the first place.

But I think what you said is is very accurate.

This this total pie, we should say, is not growing at all.

And Domino's.

Yes, but Domino's is gaining market share.

And their CEO says, we are actually very bullish.

We are aiming to double our market share.

And all of their competitors, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, those are the top two.

They're aiming to sell themselves because things are just not going well.

Meanwhile, pizza is overall in a pizza depression because there's so many other choices for people to eat when it comes to opening Grubhub or DoorDash or any sort of delivery app.

You got Thai, you got Mexican.

There's just any sort of number of competitors that are competing with pizza right now.

So I wouldn't want to be a pizza CEO at this point.

Okay, let's sprint to the finish with some final headlines.

In today's edition of Is This Real Life or Black Mirror, Burger King is rolling out an internal AI chatbot that will evaluate employees' friendliness, such as whether they say please and thank you to customers.

Known as Patty, the chatbot is part of a broader BK assistant platform that lives in employees' headsets and will help them with meal prep, provide alerts for maintenance or inventory issues, and yes, check on their politeness levels.

The chain's chief digital officer told The Verge that this is all meant to be a coaching tool, saying that BK is iterating on capturing conversational tones to more precisely measure friendliness.
