The podcast ho(st)s are 18-years-old when they have their first experiences with older men. And by "older" we mean 23 and 24 years of age. So, not exactly silver foxes. But, hey. They seemed old at the time. It's all relative. We know this.

Mariah has car sex with a guy she meets at a music festival before leaving her small town behind and heading off to college. Olivia chills with an upperclassman she meets at her work study job, but things go off the rails when she expresses an earnest desire that he accept her friend request on Facebook.
