Speaker 2: Frosen after our trading. I don't know, I'm laughing. And
Speaker 2: they've introduced this is the intersection of dating and AI,
Speaker 2: a new odin tool. It's called dates. So here's how
Speaker 2: it works. Just stop, I'm going to go through this.
Speaker 2: You can take notes. Starts with a private, in depth
Speaker 2: conversation that explores broad topics like values, relationship goals, communication style,
Speaker 2: lifestyle and dating intentions. Now, when it identifies two people
Speaker 2: who are aligned in these areas, both are notified with
Speaker 2: a summary explaining why they're a strong match. I just
Speaker 2: go for the old way, just go out to a bar.
Speaker 2: Well chats with the AI assistant private. Nothing's going to
Speaker 2: be shared on the public profile. Members can also choose
Speaker 2: what topics of their conversations can be shared with a
Speaker 2: potential batch date is power by Bumble's own AI, So they're.
Speaker 4: Going deeper into sort of the psyche of the person
Speaker 4: looking for the date. I guess talking to them about
Speaker 4: their wants, needs, emotions. Is this where we're at one?
Speaker 3: So like my dating career, the stunt's going from seventy
Speaker 3: to two?
Speaker 2: Am I right? Seventy to two? Yeah, it's been next next,
Speaker 2: you know, you go to these stores. There's one up
Speaker 2: in west Chester, ru into it's a dump, and you

Speaker 2: I don't know why that is, but they're forecasting sales
Speaker 2: in line with analyst inestiments, slowing momentum for the company
Speaker 2: that had routinely exceeded Wall Street expect They keep.
Speaker 4: Looking at the dollar Generals of the world as like
Speaker 4: a barometer of where the consumer's at, right, aren't they
Speaker 4: say they saw more high end consumers.
Speaker 2: Say, it's not necessarily a barometer for the lower part
Speaker 2: of the k. But you know, I think.
Speaker 4: People who higher earners are shopping at the dollar generals
Speaker 4: because they're looking for a bargain too.
Speaker 2: Anyway, This outlook is considered conservative, with the company seeing
Speaker 2: lower sales growth than last year. Shares the retailer they
Speaker 2: fell in pre market trading dollar general. They's been benefiting
Speaker 2: from customers seeking deals lower prices. That you said, amid
Speaker 2: the stress of the chain even attracted more high income shops.

Speaker 2: pets it sells in its stores. In particular, he said
Speaker 2: he saw spiders like Tarantula's as quote, a newer pet
Speaker 2: trend in the United.
