Lego Got Smart, Hooters Is Back, and Waymo Won’t Stop Beeping
We’re kicking off 2026 with Alex going full Dry January and Kevin easing in with what he’s calling Damp January. There’s talk of saunas, Peloton instructors, acupuncture, and Kevin’s new woodworking hobby, which led to a spoon injury and a deep dive into Japanese hand tools.
On the tech side, the guys get into LEGO’s new smart bricks, a plane that landed itself, Waymo cars annoying neighborhoods, and a not-so-subtle nudge from Kevin for Digg beta users to pay attention. Communities are coming. That’s all we’re saying.
Also in the mix: cartilage-regrowing injections, TV loyalty confessions, and the return of Hooters. Yes, with dolphin shorts.
It’s a new year. Let’s get into it.
This episode of Diggnation covers a variety of topics including Dry January, Samsung's integration of Google's Gemini AI, a standoff between Waymo and Santa Monica over beeping robotic cars, and the return of Hooters' Dolphin Shorts.
