And he wouldn’t mind if they race model cars in their hotel room. Hell, he’d probably join them.

“You should add a couple of genuinely scary meatheads...” Maybe the Hanson Brothers can play soccer.

Messi can help. His feet are even more extra-ordinary.

And Trudeau is often the Shirtless One. By those who like him.
