Ep. 16: A gay wrestler, trans Olympian and bisexual Love Islander walk into a bar

Megan is experiencing "Love Island"-induced hysteria and looked into historical gay happenings in the franchise. Grace is putting on the sports correspondent hat this week to talk about trans and nonbinary athletes in the Olympics, wrestlers getting gay married, and Mother's return to the ring. And we're possibly even more confused than last week about this Keke Palmer/DivaGurl business.
