Netflix Wants HBO, Founders Want Manners, and AI Wants Your Face
About this episode
Alex and Kevin discuss Netflix's potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, AI tools, and startup etiquette while enjoying brandy cocktails in their new studio.
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.
