Daley’s most-recent video finds the two dexterous men doing their damndest to pull off expert-level yoga poses, and it’s definitely diverting to watch, to say the least. They take requests from several celeb friends: Stephen Fry, Gus Kenworthy, Adam Peaty, and a not-remotely-jealous Dustin Lance Black, who has a very specific request.

Ooh, cheeky devil.
