  3. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:18

    Well, great to see you.

  4. LA Knight· Guest0:20

    Here I am.

  5. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:21

    There you are.

  6. LA Knight· Guest0:21

    Or here you are.

  7. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:22

    Look at the size of this man.

  8. LA Knight· Guest0:23

    Well, here. Uh, you can't put it over like that. I'm just, uh... Yeah, I got, I do look pretty big on that screen, so- Yeah, you look- ... I'm gonna look at this now. You guys- Look at this ... we can't have this here- [laughs] ... 'cause I'm gonna stare at it the whole damn time, reference myself, and be like, "Oh, do I look weird?"

  9. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:36

    No, you look great. Look at that angle.

  10. LA Knight· Guest0:38

    Yeah.

  11. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:38

    [laughs] It's a good angle. Look at that.

  12. LA Knight· Guest0:40

    [laughs] Um, yeah, it's not bad. Uh, I'm actually down seven pounds, so- With- ... uh, yeah. I'm, I'm on a little mini cut right now.

  13. Chris Van Vliet· Host0:46

  15. Chris Van Vliet· Host1:09

    [laughs] Naturally occurring abs.

  16. LA Knight· Guest1:10

    Yes. Yeah, they were just there.

  17. Chris Van Vliet· Host1:12

    Yeah.

  18. LA Knight· Guest1:12

    [laughs] And so, so natural phenomenon. And so for years and years, I worked on everything, and I was like, "I don't even need to do my abs," so now I have the weakest core ever, and I have bad posture where I kinda have a, uh, a, a, a, a anterior pelvic tilt. This is fascinating to everybody, I'm sure.

  19. Chris Van Vliet· Host1:27

    I love it.

  20. LA Knight· Guest1:27
