Here’s Further Proof That Ryan Lochte May Just Be Our Country’s Next Poet Laureate

ESPN the Mag released its big "Music Issue" issue today, and Reggie was tagged to post what everyone thought would be its highlight—Alex Morgan getting her Katy Perry on. Oh, how wrong we were.

This gem of a video slipped under most people's radar today, which is unfortunate, because it caused me to laugh harder than anything I've seen since Kai, the Homeless Hitchhiker. Naturally, it features noted wordsmith, scholar, and raconteur Ryan Lochte, who we've featured before for his dazzling interviews.

Lochte, who recreated the famous naked baby pose from Nirvana's album "Nevermind," didn't go full Gronk—he wore a speedo—but holy shit, did the swimmer give some great quotes about how he got into character. My personal favorite:

"If you look at the baby, he's definitely... he's definitely happy in the water. And that's what I am. Whenever I step foot in that water, I'm happy. And he's chasing off a dollar bill, so he's always on the grind."
