Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Do you guys actually get baby fever?
I don't know. I feel like at least once a day now, I'm kind of begging you to try and have number two.
Chapter 2: How did Harrison gain Instagram fame?
I wanted to ask you what you thought about going on a bachelor party as a dad.
We're not going to the club and getting bottle service.
You're in the club showing them your baby and your baby mama.
Diamond prices have plummeted 46%.
Do you think that's because of the lab-grown ones?

Chapter 3: What is the TikTok ban bet update?
I think the most important thing is that whatever you're buying accurately reflects your commitments.
I think I'm a real diamond girl. Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex. I'm in the presence of greatness. I'm in the presence of a world-renowned influencer. Thank you for being here today, Harrison. I cannot believe with your busy new schedule as a talent, just a talent, that you were able to carve out time to be on my podcast. I really appreciate it. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.
Welcome to the Just Alex podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Harrison Bugman. Leave me alone. It's funny because you hate it. You kind of hate it.
Can I tell a quick story on my weird last name? Please. So, you know, I'm like really bad with pronunciations. Like I can't tell the difference between like.
Well, I'll give you guys an example. Say Toyota.
Toyota.
Exactly. There it is right there. There you go. So we have we get it.
Yeah. I like Cabo.
Cabo, Mexico.

Chapter 4: Do guys really get baby fever?
I also agree with that.
I think we could really play it as a first name one day. Okay, so I was joking at the beginning, but you gained yourself some followers. What are you at, 11.5? What happened to you?
Is this interesting to the listener?
I think it could be. People are saying your Instagram stories are funny. Also, guys, I am going to just say this really quickly. If Tater does cry because she's always in the room with us and we podcast, we are going to stop. And I'll tell you why we're going to stop. Because a mom DM'd and said her milk dropped. And that's the most real thing on the planet.
Like if you're breastfeeding and you hear any baby cry, your milk does drop. So we will. For the moms, we'll do a pause.

Chapter 5: How to make new parent friends?
What if she coos? Do we stop if she coos? Because she does a lot of cooing.
She's finding her voice.
Sorry, what was the question?
You grew your social following. You went above 10K. You ran right past it.
We had a weekend. We had a weekend. I don't know. It was fun. I started Instagramming again. I used to love Instagram. I would Instagram all my travel photos because I traveled all the time. And so most of what I've been doing over the past few years is obviously working on my company and stuff. I feel like a lot of startup and business content is, is cringe.
And so I didn't really want to go down that path. I'd love to do it if I can do it in a way that I think was authentic to me. And yeah, over the past, over the past few days, just kind of given some insights in the life and the trouble I'm getting into and the interactions between you and I has been fun. So we'll see how it goes.
I got out of a workout class and I checked Instagram and Harrison, you had just dropped a bottle on the floor and shattered it. And here's the thing. Like I don't produce. too much breast milk. I produce just enough breast milk. If I go to a two hour event, I've prepped and I leave you with one bottle. So my heart shattered, pun intended, when I saw that milk. I was like, oh, no.
Well, it was also an hour and a half from the house because I was on a really big walk. And it was like her eating time was like 30 minutes away. And so I was like getting – going to this coffee shop where I was going to sit and feed her. And like right before I walked in, it just slipped out of the little carrier that I had.
These carriers, as amazing as they are, they don't have a good milk holder or bottle holder, sorry. And like when that hit, it was – It was a heartbreaking moment. But luckily, you know, we turned around. We got home before she was on the later side with that eat. So we got lucky.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges of holiday gift-giving?
Chapter 7: What are the differences between lab-grown and mined diamonds?
Chapter 8: How do bachelor/ette parties change after becoming parents?
And last night I had the best minestrone soup with the best toasted baguette. It was absolutely delicious. And then I had these gluten-free, dairy-free little mini donut holes all because Hungry Root sent it to me. Hungry Root is like having your own personal shopper. It's delivered right to your door.
They ask you when you're filling out the questionnaire how many lunches, how many breakfasts, how many dinners, how many snacks. They ask you your dietary restrictions, and they give you your whole personalized menu for the week, and it is unbelievable. Plus, there's no high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, or preservative in any of Hungry Root's food, which is what I love.
They only source high-quality, top-quality meat and seafood that are free from hormones and antibiotics, which is very important to me because that's what I shop for at the grocery store, so it was important that they did that too. You guys are going to love Hungry Root as much as I do. Take advantage of this exclusive offer.

Speaking of, you took another L this weekend. You bet on the TikTok ban.
This is brutal. This is brutal.
So you basically bet that it would not get banned.
Yeah, exactly. So my my take was this was just a bunch of posturing by ByteDance and they were going to work out a deal to keep it afloat. And so Kalshi had betting odds and it was do you think that it's going to be banned? And technically it was banned. So I lost the bet, and then 24 hours later it popped back up. How much did you bet? That's a bad beat.
I'm not going to say the dollar amount, but I'll say I bet a handbag.
What kind of handbag?
