| 0:00.0 | Well, hello there people of podcast land. Welcome back to modern wisdom. My guest today is |
| 0:05.1 | Zubi. He is a rapper, a podcaster, author and a graduate at Oxford, but he's most famous |
| 0:13.5 | at the moment for being a deadlifter. He released a tweet earlier in the year which went viral |
| 0:19.0 | and has springboarded him into I guess the public eye. Interestingly, the parallel that |
| 0:26.8 | draw between him and Jordan Peterson continues to hold true that he just happens to be this guy |
| 0:32.4 | who was perfectly equipped to deal with massive amounts of scrutiny and press attention and also |
| 0:41.2 | to be able to cut his way through very complex issues that often people get quite offended about. |
| 0:48.0 | So today we're talking all things woke from Tatanya McGrath who's creator Andrew Doyle will |

| 1:43.2 | I'm joined by the strongest female deadlift champion on the internet. Zubi, welcome to the show. |
| 1:56.8 | How's it going Chris? How you doing? Fantastic to have you on man. Recently |
| 1:59.7 | spoke to Brian Carroll who is a multiple record holder in powerlifting for men and now speaking |
| 2:05.2 | to one for women as well. That's right man. Deadlift and bench press 84 kg weight class women's of course. |
| 2:11.6 | How heavy is a squat? What have you got to get your squat to? |
| 2:16.3 | Man, I haven't squatted properly for ages because of an injury that's been harassing me for |
| 2:20.8 | literally about five years now, but my personal best on the squat is 190 and I believe the women's |
| 2:28.3 | record in my weight class is about 210 something like that. A little bit of work and you've got the total as |
