Summary

This week's show is with John Durant, author of "The Paleo Manifesto: Ancient Wisdom for Lifelong Health," which releases on September 17. John is one of the original "modern cavemen." He's been seen running around barefoot in NYC, and has been featured on The Colbert Report, NPR and in the New York Times. This show is a lot of fun, you don't want to miss it!

Lots of exciting things happening lately. I just returned from a wilderness survival trip out in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a blast, and if there's one thing I recommend you take as an action step this week it's this: leave all your gadgetry at home, disconnect and get outside!

We've also started recording a fun new video series with Dave Asprey, from Bulletproofexec.com. We're going to be talking about a lot of fun things on that show. We don't even have a name for it yet, but you can look forward to that!

Last but not least, the CavemanFeast app is still kicking butt on the iTunes charts. We were even featured by Apple in the U.S. and Australia, plus a few other countries. So thank you all for the reviews and for downloading it, we seriously appreciate the support!

Alright, on the show. Today with John we talk about:

How we’re all out of touch.
Why aliens have orange eyes.
And we even act out tea time with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow...

0:34.1	Before we get to it, those of you watching video might be wondering why I have this
0:37.6	somewhat shaggy beard. I've actually spent the last week and change out in the woods on a
0:43.7	wilderness survival trip out in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was totally awesome. If there's
0:48.7	one action step that you guys can take this week, I would say leave all your gadgetry at home,
0:55.5	disconnect, and get outside, go for a walk, go for a hike. It really grounds you and you feel like
1:02.1	a human being again. So make sure that you do that. Take your kids, bring your friends. It's a good
1:06.5	time. Now, a quick announcement before we go hang out with John, this is really exciting. We
1:11.8	already started recording for a new biohacking web TV show with Mr. Dave Asprey, the bulletproof
1:16.8	exec. And it doesn't get better than drinking butter in your coffee with Mr. Dave. It's a good
1:21.5	time. Kind of a different format. My background is actually, for some of you, you already know
1:25.6	this, in brain science and psychology.
1:28.7	So we're going to be talking about biohacking, how to improve your performance, a lot of brain
1:34.6	and nerdy stuff. We wear silly colored glasses as well. And it's about like a short choppy show,
