Netflix Wants HBO, Founders Want Manners, and AI Wants Your Face

Alex and Kevin break in the new Digg warehouse studio with brandy cocktails, French pastry flexes, and a surprisingly serious challenge—can Alex stay sober for all of 2025?They cover Netflix’s rumored $84B move to buy Warner Bros. Discovery (yes, including HBO and DC Comics), AI tools that drop your face into fake movie scenes, and the rise of “etiquette camps” for startup founders. Also: teens in Australia are happy to be banned from social media, a spider-shaped robot now performs endoscopies, and the famous Japanese 7-Eleven egg salad sandwich finally lands in the U.S.—with questionable results.All that, plus rucking vests, doomscroll detoxing, and a Kindle Color that might actually be good.SPONSORSZBiotics Go to https://zbiotics.com/DIGG and use code DIGG at checkout for 15% off any first-time order of ZBiotics probiotics.Henson Shaving Go to https://hensonshaving.com/DIGG and enter DIGG at checkout to get a free pack of 100 blades with your purchase.
