He’s so much fun!

John Daly will take to the Olympic sliding center on Wednesday night (U.S. time) and you need to know just how awesome he is before you see the competition live.

Here’s why you’re going to love Daly, if you haven’t heard about him.

1. He likes to surprise his teammates with trust falls.

2. He threatened to steal the puppies during his NBC photo shoot.

Tried to steal these puppies. @nbcolympics was not about that life. . . . . . . . #teamusa #itsforamerica #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #dogs #pugs #doglife

3. He furiously messaged Ralph Lauren before the Opening Ceremony.

Hi @RalphLauren . I know Opening Ceremonies are in a couple of hours, but @StevenLangton lost his sweater, stole mine, and ripped it. If you could send two more, it would be greatly appreciated. XXL & XM. Please & Thank you. #TeamUSA #OpeningCeremony @NBCOlympics pic.twitter.com/iV99kuYpef

4. Daly was tricked into thinking a 40-degree cold tub was a hot tub.

@stevenlangton told me there was a lifetime supply of hair gel at the bottom of a 40 degree cold tub. Turns out he lied. @teamusa @usabs . . . . . . #teammates #teamusa #athlete #icetub #coldtub #canttalk #bros #liar #dead # #

5. His manager says that any time he wears pants it’s a good day.

Early highlights at #WinterOlympics:

Someone (who shall remain nameless)says to me: @JohnDalyUSA isn’t wearing a hat.
Me: Well is he wearing pants?
Her: (Looks at me like I asked a ridiculous question) Yes.
Me: Then consider it a good day. Pick your battles.

6. His definition of “rise and grind” is a little different.

7. He constantly makes fun of photos taken of him.
