Part 2/16:
The episode kicks off with the host lamenting their discovery of an entirely unexpected subculture: faux babies. Pretending to be the first revelation, the host describes a convention of roughly 1,500 individuals who treat fake 'reborn' babies like real infants—swaddled, nursed, and transported in expensive strollers. The host questions the mental health implications, wondering if some participants are coping with tragic child losses or miscarriages, since reborn dolls originally served as comfort objects for women experiencing fertility issues.
