Welcome back to London Real. This week we're giving you a blast from the past with one of my favorite shows of all time with Mr Timothy Ferris

0:16.4

author of the four-hour work week the four-hour body and on this tour through the UK he was promoting four hour

0:23.4

body,

0:24.4

he was promoting the four hour chef

0:26.6

and he came through last year in January

0:30.8

and to be honest with you,

0:32.4
