The gold medalist filmed a spot for Funny or Die, in which he tells fans that peeing in the pool is more than just a habit.

In the video, Ryan dead-pans,  [ "The way I see it, the pool is the biggest and most expensive toilet, and it's all mine. That's the only time I allow myself to pee. Yes, I can only pee in the pool. (Producer) What do you do otherwise? I usually just hold it, I hold it in until I get to the pool. If I see a toilet, I'm definitely not peeing there."]

Lochte also discusses his "community outreach" to encourage kids to pee in pools and contemplates how fast Michael Phelps is at pool-peeing.

• Lochte's agent recently confirmed that he's been offered several reality shows since wrapping his Olympic program.
