In top news, mortgage 00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:23.250 rates have fallen below 6 % this week for the 00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:26.829 first time in more than three years, a welcome 00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:29.290 change for house hunters entering the busy spring 00:06:29.290 --> 00:06:32.810 home buying season.

The retailer's chief executive 00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:21.459 officer has raised alarm bells about how shifting 00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:24.019 consumer sentiment and market pressures could 00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:26.860 impact the company's future performance and sales. 00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:31.560 In the fourth quarter of 2025, Hone Depot's United 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.459 States comparable sales increased by a minor 00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:39.519 0 .3 % year over year.

Home Depot executives have pinpointed the 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.100 cause of weak demand in stores.

And now back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.769 tech. In 2026, the global restaurant automation 00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:14.950 market is projected to reach $28 billion. Miso 00:09:14.950 --> 00:09:18.110 Robotics, known for its robot Fry Cooks, has 00:09:18.110 --> 00:09:20.909 developed Flippy, an artificial intelligence 00:09:20.909 --> 00:09:23.649 -powered robot arm that effectively flips burgers 00:09:23.649 --> 00:09:27.090 and has expanded to fry stations at major baseball 00:09:27.090 --> 00:09:31.789 parks. Miso's CDO, Rich Hull, emphasized that 00:09:31.789 --> 00:09:35.309 Flippy operates twice as fast and never takes 00:09:35.309 --> 00:09:39.049 breaks. Despite challenges and declining revenues, 00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:42.409 MISO continues to innovate and recently acquired 00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:46.610 Zignal to enhance restaurant operations. However, 00:09:47.289 --> 00:09:49.730 experts caution that automation has yet to prove 00:09:49.730 --> 00:09:53.049 its economic value, with many still preferring 00:09:53.049 --> 00:09:59.710 human workers over machines. Entertainment news. 00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:03.370 In streaming ratings, Bridgerton returns higher 00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:07.779 with its fourth season debut.

A 19 -month wait between seasons of Bridgerton 00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:17.720 did little to diminish the ardor for the Netflix 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.799 series. Season 4 premiered at number one overall 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.500 on the Nielsen streaming charts from January 00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:29.399 26 to February 1, scoring 3 billion and 30 million 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.730 minutes of viewing for the week.

Stranger Things held second place with 00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:43.470 1 billion and 300 million minutes of watch time. 00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:47.850 Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote 00:10:47.850 --> 00:10:51.889 of the day.
