Even though Lochte was there to promote his new E! reality show, the talk was heavy on the swimming, lighter on the <i>What Would Ryan Lochte Do?<\/i> (WWRLD)<\/p>\n<p>Letterman spent the first few minutes listing Lochte&#039;s Olympic accomplishments, peppering the list with clarification questions that undoubtedly left swimmers everywhere slapping their foreheads and saying &#8220;&#8230;well, DUH!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"470\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yz-owJuH6tk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While going over Lochte&#039;s accomplishments, Letterman mentioned his Olympic gold medal in the 400 Individual Medley. Letterman quickly followed it with: &#8220;What does that (individual medley) <i>mean<\/i>?&#8221; Swimming jargon for the win! And Letterman brought up a pretty good question: Why swim the 200 individual medley when you already know you can do a 400? Food for thought! <\/p>\n<p>We also got some insight into Lochte&#039;s relationship with the water. It was beautiful when Lochte said that swimming &#8220;&#8230;puts me in a different place. I could be having a bad day, and then when I get in, I&#039;m home&#8230;I&#039;m at peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the talk turned to WWRLD, Lochte said that the reasoning behind the show was to bring swimming awareness to people&#039;s living rooms.. wishful thinking or a realistic goal? Most likely the latter, considering it&#039;s nearly impossible to talk about Lochte without mentioning the sport.  <\/p>\n<p>The premiere episode of WWRLD had under a million viewers and received a Neilsen Rating of .7 (.7% of households in the US either watched the show live or on DVR the same day). The biggest demographic tuning in was females aged 18-34.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOENIX, Arizona, April 23.
