Sam and Ian, you should be proud of this extraordinary interview. You took the narrative to a whole new level. Every young sports person should listen to this and then read Michael’s book. Racism has no place in society - period, We all need to learn how to unravel our unconscious biases if we are to survive as a human race.
WOW! Here...Here to That! Bless You. I really hope you & others like start talking about this after reading Michael Holding’s book because personally as a person of colour & hearing the way he speaks, he just has a way of explaining our experiences & the pain we endure, & the anxiety we face daily. Just going for an interview one prays that the person isn’t infected with this mental illness which preys on humans with a brown hue to their skin & whose ancestors come from another country in the World 🌎 I recently went through the example I mentioned. I had two really successful interviews on the phone...they were so impressed & I was chuffed. I wore a smart designer grey suit...I arrived on time & travelled for 1.5 hours. They were originally pleased that I had previously worked for the company so able to hit the ground running 🏃♂️ I called them randomly asking are they currently recruiting they said actually a vacancy had been recently become available dispite them not advertising as yet...the manager was very keen & optimistic. Met the Regional Manager for 3RD interview...he didn’t want to talk about my work experience he said...he wanted to talk about me. Which I kept nice & pleasant... 15 mins..I never heard anything further. I called back two weeks later & responses were cool & flaky... I like me...people lay on beaches to get a tan to get a shade of brown like me...This Racism hurts like crazy! 3 interviews when others have 2 at the most which I always have given I work in managerial positions. I give up 🆙
@Jupiter rules Controversial book? Wtf are you even talking about? Bet you haven’t even read a word from the book. And donate money? Mate, whatever he earned it’s HIS money and how much you have donated rather than being a keyboard warrior? How do you even know that he doesn’t do any donation? Self entitled prick.
He is a human too living in this society! Oh and if that's too difficult to understand, he did also release a book and the discussion is on the same.. nuf said
@jupiter rules he talks about cricket every time he is in the commentary box. Speaking on platforms like this helps reach people who don't otherwise understand (you). Unfortunately it seems that it hasn't worked.
I totally agree...This has been the most honest interviewer I’ve ever seen speaking about racism. One can see & feel this individual totally wants to know the depths of this mental disease people have & spreading nature of it. He is so fortunate to be also speaking to someone who is just as passionate to convey the damage racism does to its victims & how unfair it is to families struggling to live...cope with pandemics & other lifestyle issues the rest of the human race have to deal with. To be treated indifferent/inhumane generation after generations but now we are supposed to be more informed due to social media being available at a touch of a button & wherever you may be begs the question...why are these perpetrators so vicious & in fact so sub human & everywhere causing pain discomfort & unhappiness. It’s truly time for change...& change starts with You.
What Mikey said about people’s reluctance to understand history is spot on. I live in Loudoun County (Virginia/USA), and the school board is currently locked in a battle with white parents, where these parents are actively trying to stop the school from teaching real unedited history to students for fear that white people will be shown in a bad light if people learn the full extent to which black people were disenfranchised throughout history. This is very real, and continues to happen. This even made the news (Google Washington post Loudoun County school board). So Mikey’s point hit very close to home for me. Thanks TGC for bringing this interview.
Even tho I was a girl, and girls didn't get to play cricket when I was growing up, in playing with other kids in our building, I tried so hard to bowl like Michael Holding. All the way from the water tank to the crease, I'd run fast, swirl my arms and inevitably fall over. I was 10. And now he joins our fight against racism so many decades later. More power to you, Michael. Cannot thank you enough for raising your voice against injustice.
guys thank you for being respectful , I have aussie friends and there is always a inside joke or a pun around the corner when we have a serious conversation , but I really appreciate this.Micheal is a legend , he and my father share the same birthday in the same year.
Bois! As someone who thinks the absolutely world of you two, this was incredibly impactful and important. I am so proud to be a fan. Of course, I always was, the Bois are awesome, but just a special thank you and kudos for this one. Michael Holding, eloquent, passionate, empathetic as ever. If we needed and ambassador for behavior, grace and ethics, we needn't look further.*bows*
Michael Holding is a great man.. his passion.. his common sense and even his voice is Morgan Freeman like.. I just love the man.. we should all listen to what this wonderful human has to say and take note.. fantastic interview boys. There is only good in Michael Holding. I’ve been listening to him for years on many subjects.. thank you Mr Holding.
Best TGC content to date. The fervor and poignancy of Holding's recollections are stirring and will ultimately motivate change. This has left an indelible mark on me. Thank you Sam and Ian for such a sagacious and dedicated interview.
MICHAEL HOLDING EXCELLENT YOU ARE GREAT AN EXCELLENT ORATOR YOU ARE SPEAKING TRUTH AS WEST INDIANS WE DISLIKE RACIST AND ABUSIVE ENGLAND.I AM HAPPY MY HOMELAND BARBADOS GIVE THEM THEIR EXIT PASS EUROPE ARE THE BIGGEST RACIST. THE "MIDDLEPASSAGE" THEIR THROW THE SLAVES OVERBOARD. BUT GOD WILL HAVE HIS JUDGEMENT

Paused the video, bought the book and now I am back to listening to the interview. I am looking forward to reading the book this weekend. Thank you for this very important interview.
Thank you Sam and Ian for showing how to be an ally, through your actions and not just words. You were both thoughtful and respectful but you also did something incredible - you actively listened. Sometimes thats enough. Its also patently obvious that you guys are constantly educating yourselves along the way and trying to do the same to your audience and that is to be celebrated and commended. Kudos to you for giving him a platform to speak so powerfully to your audience. Lets be real, there are going to be a lot of your listeners who might find this confronting or uncomfortable, but thats all the more reason to present this to them. Without sounding like an preachy afternoon special, we cant fight this fight alone. Phenomenal interview and credit to you both for making this happen. Love your work BOIIS
Was a youth when Mikey burst on the scene and made West Indians proud. This is his best work do date and the world be just as proud. Good interview guys.
He is a magnificent man who, going by this interview if people admire his ability as a cricketer, now LISTEN to his skill as an interlectual who explains what is happening in society which is really not acceptable
@@johannaalexander2009 absolutely, racism shouldn't even be a topic to talk about in the first place but alas, that's how we humans are- full of bullshit. It has to end. It has to end NOW.
Watching this for a second time at 3 am and man...if you needed ONE interview that could connect so-called "normies" who don't study sociology for a living, this would be it. Very relatable and a good introduction to systemic racism. You touch on a lot of common FAQs on the topic. PLEASE bring Holding on again!
Well done on bringing this interview to life, Sam and Ian. This is simply an eye opener and a clear reflection of how systematic racism has affected our society in different countries. At the end of the day, I feel that it’s all about your mindset and how you are taught different things about different people in your household and schools. That needs to change and we need to show the great things people have done from different communities. There’s no space for any kind of racism in the 21st century. And I can’t think of a better person to talk about this than one of my favourite cricketer. - Michael Holding. 😊
Share it on Twitter & encourage friends you share it to to do the same. Give it young members of your family encourage them to share it... that’s what I do- 💫
This is one of the best interviews you bois have done on this channel. I really appreciate that how thoughtful you two are in allowing your guests to talk while constantly asking good quality questions which is a skill, a lot of interviewers lack.
What a man, he is not just a supporter of the movement, has taken time to understand the root cause of the problem and how does it manifest in the current times..
I would be honoured for him to be an ambassador to speak on our behalf about this toxic disease that is causing so much pain to so many on a global scale. His transparency is priceless & sincere. I truly hope the diseased try to stop ✋ being in denial because our families are struggling to live with this because the toxicity of Racism is everywhere & WE need to stamp it out...Every little helps! X
What a brilliant interview. It has been a few weeks since I stumbled upon your channel and I am always looking forward to your next video like a child in anticipation of the next bar of chocolate. As for the great man that you interviewed in this video, there is not much that you can say about his abilities as a cricketer and now as a commentator, an absolute legend is how I would encapsulate that. But what I was more excited about is the pertinent topic of racism that he has addressed and that you are addressing by way of this content. In today’s day and age due to the internet, issues that have persisted for eons, such as racism, have come to the fore quicker but that does not mean that the thought process has changed because the regressive thought process of segregation has been entrenched so deep that it has in many ways become a part of our genetics. Unless we are to expunge or purge these regressive thought processes, terms such as diversity and inclusion are entirely meaningless. Each and every action of ours, if they were to be doused in a big dollop of compassion, then it is likely that we can entirely purge and/or expunge the regressive mentality that perpetuates in all walks of life across the board provided that dialogue is the vehicle being used, in the times to come. Keep putting out the cracking content that you produce because you both and your team are all doing such a wonderful job, cheerios!
Powerful thoughtful words... please keep your passion alive & please share this & above all talk to others about it. Other forms of oppression is stamped out because people relate to it or know someone dealing with it & the subject resembles themselves or a family member. Like Michael said he couldn’t speak out earlier because he would’ve probably been penalised & his career cut short like others before him who tried. We can’t do this alone, we need all people who see the toxicity & inherited inhumanity projected towards us as a race. I compare this to what Hitler did to the Jews but their torture ended & was acknowledged years ago. Ours is still ongoing & traumatising us regardless of social status as Michael Holding is showing. This interview was magnificent.
@@johannaalexander2009 - Thank you so very much for your kind words. The fact of the matter is that we are all in this together but yet we still let differences, that have been concocted, get the better of us. Courage and compassion are required to be mustered in large quantities, failing which, hope will die a painful death.
#AskTGC such a good interview. Reminds me of a quote "when we live in a world of inferior and superior, the idea of equality also sounds like injustice."
Holding and Sobers have always been my cricket heroes , this is inspite of the fact that Holding made a mess of the Indian batting lineup . Holding is not only up there because of the 'Whispering Death' part but also for his fantastic commentary and knowledge of the game . My father was an army officer and so was I so I have had a privileged life and inspite of being brown have never experienced racism--- so it really is a shock when I am confronted with the fact that the great Holding has experienced racism.
"All black achievements have whitewashed from history." Traffic lights, the light bulb etc & there is so much more...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN FOR SPEAKING OUT! 😘😘😘😘😘
This is one the best podcast interview on this channel, by some distance, if not the best. Great work Bois. Also, Michael Holding's voice is to cricketing world, what Morgan Freeman's is to movies.
i have been a huge fan of your work boisss but this interview takes your channel so many levels up . Thanks boisss for bringing such interviews as they shed light on other things apart from Cricket but are equally important .
I am extremely disappointed to see Mr. Michael Holding break up in tears, as I grew up watching him as I did watching the great Mr. Dennis Lillee; these are legends of cricket and not just all-time greats. Please give them some space to express themselves.
Yes...absolutely commendable for being thought provoking & above all to encourage changes in people’s mindsets & being aware of Concious & Subconscious biases which destroys lives...Dreams & Aspirations which we’re all entitled to have. We saw him publicly crying in televised interviews...you can’t fake that pain 😒
This interview should be going viral!! Totally shocked by the eloquence and intelligence of Sam and Ian. Normally they're just joking around, this is a fantastic interview!
These guys interview techniques puts those on the BBC, ITV news, Good Morning Britain to shame speaking about this sensitive subject. Others seem to be uncomfortable showing empathy or passion about these abhorrent in humane practices & behaviour. The mental & physical torture is an unbearable nightmare. Thank you Guys perfect interview hitting the nail on the head! Well Done 👍🏾 Blessings to You for asking the right questions & delivery of back up multi level material showing the existence of Racism which other interviewers are so darn lazy & thoughtless to collate thus aiding & abetting the ABUSES which strengthens the systematic racism processes.
Thank you, Sam and Ian, great job -- a really important interview, a fantastic man, and a critical and great cause. A subject that's more important than ever at this time of racial conflict and regression in ideals.
He is very emotional while narrating the stories but carried on throughout.. It's hard to be looked down upon throughout your life.. very well done ✅ boysssss.. you are moving in the right direction 👍👍
A lot needs to be done. We all need constant education. It is never late to learn. This exists even in India. We need to respect our diversity more. We need to be more compassionate to people from various backgrounds. Being an Indian was all about unity in diversity, and it is not the same now anymore. Commenting for a better and progressive society everywhere.
You got the man with the best bowling action of all time! The legend! My hero! OMG!! You've transcended from random cricket podcast to the voice of cricket...
Top interview guys. You got the "yeh man, no problems" finish. Solid. There were times Mikey had the look of an angry fast bowler, and rightly so. When he showed that face while was bowling, there would be a wicket next ball.
Thank you for this interview with Michael Holding. I watch cricket on You Tube when I'm down and I will purchase the book. I love the exciting entraining and powerful. The W.I. sustainingly put Australian, and British in their place. Loosers'.
Man what a segment! Kudos to you fellas for asking some very relevant questions with Mikey. You guys have a very bright future in World Cricket and sports journalism. Salute from 🇨🇦.
Wonderful interview, as an Indian I can say we are a very racist society, from selling fairness creams to matrimonial listings one can see the unapologetic nature of this, on top of this we have the caste system, and whatever little reservation the oppressed caste enjoy is frowned upon by the oppressor caste which has had their own reservation for thousands of years (a thing like who can be a priest or a warrior has always been reserved for the oppressor caste). I hope we can look in the mirror and change. We need our own Dalit lives matter ( DLM), with a 25% dalit population the last dalit to play for Ind was Vinod Kambli. I also hear a lot of murmurs about the quota system in SA cricket, SA has 90% population of Blacks, colored and Indian south Africans, whites make up less than 10% of the population, even if 1 white guywere to be in the team that's not a problem, for very many years blacks have simply been denied opportunities. There was black WK as an understudy for Boucher, Boucher got injured in the eye and guess who replaced him as WK , yes AB Devilliers , who all this while was playing as a pure batter, when the opportunity opened for the understudy all of a sudden they felt if AB wicket keeps it will lend more strength, why could they not get rid of BOucher to lend strength earlier when he was fit.
Brilliant interview Boys. What is becoming increasingly evident is that no one, upon being asked, “if you are a racist?” would accept that they are racist. I have often thought of a social experiment. For instance, if we are to take an opinion poll on racism, asking people to score themselves between 1 and 10. 1 for “not at all racist” and 10 for “extremely racist.” It would not be surprising at all if the total result claimed, “not at all racist”. Finding a self-professed racist is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps, the only way to overcome unconscious racism is to be consciously anti-racist. Peaceout from across the ditch in New Zealand where we are licking the lollipop🍭
WHISPERING DEATH ! Can't beat that nickname.
White Lightening also cool

"All black achievements have whitewashed from history."
Traffic lights, the light bulb etc & there is so much more...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN FOR SPEAKING OUT! 😘😘😘😘😘
This is one the best podcast interview on this channel, by some distance, if not the best. Great work Bois. Also, Michael Holding's voice is to cricketing world, what Morgan Freeman's is to movies.
Michael Holding 🏏👌👍
class intro boys, can't stop coming back to it
This is the best one you've done. Congrats fellas and thank you for doing this !
i have been a huge fan of your work boisss but this interview takes your channel so many levels up . Thanks boisss for bringing such interviews as they shed light on other things apart from Cricket but are equally important .
I am extremely disappointed to see Mr. Michael Holding break up in tears, as I grew up watching him as I did watching the great Mr. Dennis Lillee; these are legends of cricket and not just all-time greats. Please give them some space to express themselves.
This is perhaps the greatest sports interview I've ever seen because it's about so much more than just sport.
#asktgc guys just wanted to say congrats on getting to chat to Michael Holding . . . It was a joy to hear him speak
What a spectacular interview. Thoroughly educational
Yes...absolutely commendable for being thought provoking & above all to encourage changes in people’s mindsets & being aware of Concious & Subconscious biases which destroys lives...Dreams & Aspirations which we’re all entitled to have. We saw him publicly crying in televised interviews...you can’t fake that pain 😒
This interview should be going viral!! Totally shocked by the eloquence and intelligence of Sam and Ian. Normally they're just joking around, this is a fantastic interview!
What a legend. Love from 🇿🇼
Best interview till now...well done guys👍
These guys interview techniques puts those on the BBC, ITV news, Good Morning Britain to shame speaking about this sensitive subject. Others seem to be uncomfortable showing empathy or passion about these abhorrent in humane practices & behaviour. The mental & physical torture is an unbearable nightmare. Thank you Guys perfect interview hitting the nail on the head! Well Done 👍🏾 Blessings to You for asking the right questions & delivery of back up multi level material showing the existence of Racism which other interviewers are so darn lazy & thoughtless to collate thus aiding & abetting the ABUSES which strengthens the systematic racism processes.

Fantastic interview! Now I have to order the book. Sam Perry, you are a fantastic interviewer. Well framed questions.
01:09:03 ....he means hello to everyone in India.
😂
Michael holding,you are a legend
Thank you, Sam and Ian, great job -- a really important interview, a fantastic man, and a critical and great cause. A subject that's more important than ever at this time of racial conflict and regression in ideals.
Top interview! Great questions and platinum guest! Well done.
The perfect intro doesn't exis..........
Amazing job guys.
This is high quality broadcasting, top work
He is very emotional while narrating the stories but carried on throughout.. It's hard to be looked down upon throughout your life.. very well done ✅ boysssss.. you are moving in the right direction 👍👍
Not because am a Jamaican but this was one of the best interviews in history!!!!
Fantastic job interviewing a legend
This is an incredible piece of work. Thank you very much
A lot needs to be done. We all need constant education. It is never late to learn.
This exists even in India. We need to respect our diversity more. We need to be more compassionate to people from various backgrounds. Being an Indian was all about unity in diversity, and it is not the same now anymore. Commenting for a better and progressive society everywhere.
Best interview from both of you till date
You got the man with the best bowling action of all time! The legend! My hero! OMG!! You've transcended from random cricket podcast to the voice of cricket...
Damn TGC!!!! This was a wonderful interview and I enjoyed every bit of it! A fan of Michael Holding and TGC from an Indian Canadian :)
Great interview, great hosts and guest. Michael Holding is a great individual.
Havent even started watching it and I know this is gonna be my favourite episode
Boysss...
It was a good one.
A dose of self introspection for everyone
Really good job for bringing this up
This was one impressive interview!!
Top interview guys. You got the "yeh man, no problems" finish. Solid. There were times Mikey had the look of an angry fast bowler, and rightly so. When he showed that face while was bowling, there would be a wicket next ball.
Great insight, great interview
Excellent interview , period
The most important and impactful episode TGC has ever done.
I hope the RUclips algorithm works well to allow lots of people to watch this interview and learn something (including Eoin Morgan)
why Eoin Morgan?
@@Vachan_M26 Eoin Morgan was mocking Indian supporters in my opinion, however he did not own up to his comments.

Thank you for this interview with Michael Holding. I watch cricket on You Tube when I'm down and I will purchase the book. I love the exciting entraining and powerful. The W.I. sustainingly put Australian, and British in their place. Loosers'.
Amazing Interview .. learnt a lot and waiting to read the book .. thank u for all your hard work
WHISPERING WISDOM

Man what a segment! Kudos to you fellas for asking some very relevant questions with Mikey. You guys have a very bright future in World Cricket and sports journalism. Salute from 🇨🇦.
Legend
His voice 😍
TGC the best interview ❤️
This is awesome!
Wonderful interview, as an Indian I can say we are a very racist society, from selling fairness creams to matrimonial listings one can see the unapologetic nature of this, on top of this we have the caste system, and whatever little reservation the oppressed caste enjoy is frowned upon by the oppressor caste which has had their own reservation for thousands of years (a thing like who can be a priest or a warrior has always been reserved for the oppressor caste). I hope we can look in the mirror and change. We need our own Dalit lives matter ( DLM), with a 25% dalit population the last dalit to play for Ind was Vinod Kambli.
I also hear a lot of murmurs about the quota system in SA cricket, SA has 90% population of Blacks, colored and Indian south Africans, whites make up less than 10% of the population, even if 1 white guywere to be in the team that's not a problem, for very many years blacks have simply been denied opportunities. There was black WK as an understudy for Boucher, Boucher got injured in the eye and guess who replaced him as WK , yes AB Devilliers , who all this while was playing as a pure batter, when the opportunity opened for the understudy all of a sudden they felt if AB wicket keeps it will lend more strength, why could they not get rid of BOucher to lend strength earlier when he was fit.
kindly support and raise voice against brutal casteism . Support Anti Caste laws in every country .
Great conversation! Good to see critical thinkers engaging.
Nice interview boissss!!!!! This could have been the hardest interview you have ever done 👍👍
3 legends
Brilliant interview Boys. What is becoming increasingly evident is that no one, upon being asked, “if you are a racist?” would
accept that they are racist. I have often thought of a social experiment. For instance, if we are to take an opinion poll on racism, asking
people to score themselves between 1 and 10. 1 for “not at all racist” and 10 for “extremely
racist.” It would not be surprising at all if the total result claimed, “not at all racist”. Finding a self-professed racist is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps, the only way to overcome unconscious racism is to be consciously anti-racist. Peaceout from across the ditch in New Zealand where we are licking the lollipop🍭
Fantastic boys
Well done fellas! Great interview.
Some instense conversation there boisss. Loved this interview. Good job 👏
Fantastic interview lads.
My favorite line in cricket is by him "just a push"
