“I was sitting in the ready room and I remember [thinking], as I’m making a face, ‘Yup, that’s on camera. Someone will pick that one up tomorrow”. Phelps was challenged to a game of “Egg Russian Roulette” and it’s safe to say he won’t be earning any late night gold medals any time soon. “I also know him well enough to know that he does want to be involved in what flavor our cake is going to be and what flowers he thinks are ugly and what flowers he thinks are really pretty”, she said.

Then Fallon pulled out a cardboard cutout of the “maddest face” Phelps rocked in Rio, which got some good laughs.
The post quickly gained more than 4,000 likes, but it’s unclear if Phelps has seen the post himself.
Phelps and Jimmy Fallon were presented a carton of eggs, with half of them raw and half of them hard boiled.

By the time the 2020 Summer Olympics roll around, Phelps may decide to give it another go and with the way the International Olympic Committee chooses new sports, “Egg Russian Roulette” might be an official event by then. After convincing his fiancee about the moniker, there was no turning back.
Unfortunately for Phelps, he immediately drew two raw eggs and he appeared to know instantly after he drew both. When they stopped by The Tonight Show this week, Fallon said, “I jumped into the photo [backstage] because I had to grab him, I had to smell his little head”.
“Daddy, how did you get all these gold things?”
