I think one of the worst things you can do, especially to a young person, is to convince them that they're some kind of victim and that the world is against them and that they're oppressed, especially if that's not actually true.

Hey, hand, welcome. This is the Ben Shapiro Show Sunday special. I'm excited to welcome to the show, Independent Rapper, host of Real Talk with Zubi podcast, the author of Strong Advice, Zubi's Guide to Fitness for everybody. If you didn't know, it's Zubi. Zubi, thanks so much for stopping by, dude. Really appreciate it. Thanks a lot, man. I'm happy to be here.

Well, the first I had seen of any of your work, obviously, it wasn't rap, because as we will discuss, I have some differences with you on rap, and I'm going to have you convince me that I really ought to listen to more rap. But the first I was aware of you was when you cut that hilarious video that obviously went viral of you breaking every women's weightlifting record in the UK in one session basically while identifying as a woman.

So I literally just created that first deadlift tweet.

1:57.0

So it was a video that already existed on my phone.

2:00.0

And it was already on the internet, on my phone. And it was already

2:01.0

on the internet, but without any context except it being from my training session. So I just wrote

that caption. You know, I keep hearing about how biological men have no physical advantage

2:08.7
