LEGO Got Smarter, Planes Land Themselves, and Hooters Is Rebranding Again
Episode 25
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
Diggnation is back for 2026. In this New Year’s episode, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht dive into Dry (ish) January, accidental woodworking injuries, and why Kevin's Peloton crush might be more motivating than your therapist. On the tech side, Kevin drops a quiet-but-clear hint for Digg beta users to keep an eye out. The guys talk about Samsung’s decision to ship Google’s Gemini AI to 800 million devices, which feels like a major win for Google’s ecosystem. On the tech side, Kevin gives a heads up to Digg beta users: Communities are coming. Now is a good time to start paying attention. Also on deck: a bizarre Waymo vs. Santa Monica standoff involving robotic cars and 3 a.m. backup beeping, a Garmin plane that landed itself (because the pilot didn’t), and a Lego set that lights up on its own. Other stops include futuristic cartilage regrowth injections, the return of "Dolphin Shorts" via a Hooters rebrand nobody asked for, and an existential debate about smart fridges.Square — Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at: https://square.com/go/diggLMNT — Get a free 8-count sample pack with any purchase: http://drinklmnt.com/diggDeleteMe — Remove your personal info from data broker sites: http://joindeleteme.com/diggMonarch — 50% off your first year with code DIGG: https://monarch.comWispr Flow — Try voice-to-text writing for free: https://wisprflow.ai/diggYouTube Chapter Markers00:00 Intro02:41 Resolutions Nobody Asked For: Pilates & Productivity03:36 Can Saunas Cure Depression or Just Make You Sweatier?04:52 Kevin Gets Stabbed by Wellness (Acupuncture Chat)06:02 Peloton and the German Instructor Who Yells in Motivation07:13 Holiday Haul: Singing Bowls and the Rise of Vibe Decor09:07 Spoon Carving, Blood Loss & $400 Japanese Hammers12:30 Coming Soon: Digg Communities That Don’t Look Like Reddit14:00 Samsung Gives 800M Devices a Gemini AI Glow-Up20:31 Waymo Cars Are Beeping Insomnia Into Santa Monica25:06 Self-Driving Cars Are Scanning Your Kids for Booster Seats33:25 Lego Bricks Just Got Smarter (and Slightly Haunted)37:07 How Boredom Became the New Self-Care Hack42:10 Garmin Autoland: The Plane That Landed Itself47:56 Parachutes for Planes and Other Backup Plans56:53 Can Amazon's “Art Line” TV Beat the Samsung Frame?1:01:00 Streaming Loyalty Tests: Apple TV, We See You1:03:19 Movies Worth Hoarding Forever (Anchorman & Jack Reacher?)1:05:08 Injecting Knees With Youth: The Cartilage Comeback1:08:44 Dementia-Fighting Protein or Supervillain Serum?1:09:54 Smart Fridge Fatigue vs. Bird Watching for Fun1:13:05 Kamado Joe Smoker Review: BBQ Tech Gets Serious1:15:23 Hooters Rebrands, Dolphin Shorts Return, Internet Shrugs
