Speaker 2: for nearly two years. I gotta go back and hear that.
Speaker 2: We gotta go back and hear that. We're gonna have
Speaker 2: some fun today, as much fun as as we can. Yeah,
Speaker 2: following yesterday, dude, Jake Mike Cruco as if this twenty
Speaker 2: twenty sixties, it's got to be the worst season of
Speaker 2: my life, the twenty twenty sixties, and now we're losing.
Speaker 1: Cruk at the end of the year two.
Speaker 3: But now you have something to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to go out on your own terms.
Speaker 2: I appreciate cru getting an opportunity to the nice yet
Speaker 2: is nice and that nice really nice thing. Also, Kruk,
Speaker 2: you couldn't have let I mean, Greg and Greg's bodies
Speaker 2: weren't even cold.
Speaker 3: Come you didn't know, Come on, couldn't give him a full.
Speaker 2: Twenty four hours, homfellas, come on, man, we gotta go
Speaker 2: like that. No, but dude, like that news hit me
Speaker 2: today too? Yeah, man, I mean seriously. The one that
Speaker 2: hits me about that, and I'm I'm serious. I'm sure
Speaker 2: people felt this about hearing the news about your dad yesterday.
Speaker 2: Is broadcasters connect generations and they are the soundtracks just
Speaker 2: certain stages of our lives. And Mike Cruco, as good
Speaker 2: as anybody in Bay Area or in sports media history,
Speaker 2: has done that for Giants fans, for generations. I mean,
Speaker 2: I we'll go through it and we'll play some of
Speaker 2: the great sounds. But yeah, I got two that immediately
Speaker 2: came to mind, and I mentioned this one all the time.
Speaker 2: The first one that comes to mind all for me
Speaker 2: and my Cruco is I was taught baseball by people
Speaker 2: in my life. And usually that's how baseball goes right.
Speaker 2: So oftentimes the first sported kid plays a little league or
Speaker 2: soccer something like that. You're a little kid t ball
Speaker 2: something like that, so you start to get aware of
Speaker 2: what become aware of what baseball is at a young age.
Speaker 2: But you got a dad or a mom, or an
Speaker 2: uncle or a grandparent. And I've had so many connections
Speaker 2: in my life with members of my family who are
Speaker 2: either still with us or no longer with us that
Speaker 2: taught me Giants baseball and taught me baseball, and that
Speaker 2: we still text about.
Speaker 1: We've got family group chats and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But when the Giants won the twenty ten World Series,
Speaker 2: I told you, I took the day off work and
Speaker 2: I went to They really needed me at that barista bar.
Speaker 2: But I said, no, no, no, I've got to, I said,
Speaker 2: north from a espresso bar in Stonestown Mall. It's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I've got to. I've got to be there for the Giants.
Speaker 2: They need me, you know what I mean. So I
Speaker 2: went out.
Speaker 1: I didn't even walk the parade rounde.
Speaker 2: My buddy Ryan and I went yeah, and we went
Speaker 2: down near the we were at City Hall like right
Speaker 2: where it was gonna end. And do we stood there
Speaker 2: like six thirty seven in the morning until it got
Speaker 2: there and the speech has happened, didn't pee all day, tired, thirsty,
Speaker 2: it was exhausting. And then my Kruger gets up there
Speaker 2: and he says, you know, somebody in your life taught
Speaker 2: you the Good Book of Giants Baseball, and so it's
Speaker 2: your job now now that you know that feeling, to
Speaker 2: pass that on. It's your job now to give that
Speaker 2: story to somebody else. And when you tell that story,
Speaker 2: you tell them we're San Francisco, We're the Giants. It's
Speaker 2: like one of my I got chills thinking about it now.
Speaker 2: It's one of my all time favorite moments as a fan.
Speaker 2: And the other one that comes to mind is the
Speaker 2: two thousand and two season, the first season me and
Speaker 2: MAMASUSI spent together that culminates, of course, in the Game
Speaker 2: seven loss. And I remember the night they won the pennant.
Speaker 2: We were coming back. My dad was doing a show
Speaker 2: it like at Harvey's and Tahoe. We're driving back from there,
Speaker 2: so we're listening to the beginning of the game of
Speaker 2: Game five of the two thousand and two NLCS and
Speaker 2: I on Cambre we're listening to the whole thing and
Speaker 2: we get home probably about the seventh inning, and it's
Speaker 2: like a one run game.
Speaker 1: The Giants are dueling.
Speaker 2: It's Kirk Reader up against Matt Morris, and Matt Morris
Speaker 2: is grinding and then he gets pulled for Steve Klein.
Speaker 2: But I remember we're watching that on TV, and I
Speaker 2: went back that night and went back and listened to
Speaker 2: the Giants broadcast. They played the midnight replay and all that,
Speaker 2: and you hear the final call. And one of my
Speaker 2: favorite moments of that final call is the organic nature
Speaker 2: in which Mike Kruka feels and hears, watches that moment
Speaker 2: and jumps in on the call.
Speaker 1: Like I love when.
Speaker 2: Broadcasters have something happen that they naturally themselves just react to.
Speaker 2: Not like you know, with respect to Jim Nantz. He
Speaker 2: goes on with the morning show all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I remember one time when he was calling the
Speaker 2: National Championship for March Madison. He said it was the
Speaker 2: it might have been unc or somebody goes one shot
Speaker 2: for the championship and he goes and then you know, Murph,
Speaker 2: I just laid out I knew that would be my call,
Speaker 2: and I had.
Speaker 1: Bla blah blah blah, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: so you had a can call.
Speaker 2: That's all fine. It's okay to have can stuff to
Speaker 2: make sure the moment is felled. But you also got
Speaker 2: to know when to breathe and when to sit back.
Speaker 2: But that moment when when John Miller calls a line
Speaker 2: drive base hit right field, Here comes bell rounding third
Speaker 2: headed home, here comes a throw it's offline, and you
Speaker 2: hear Creut say we're going yeah. He just yells it
Speaker 2: with his excited, with his in the squat type attitude.
Speaker 2: And I'm like that moment for me, and I remember
Speaker 2: people nationally were like, Mike Kruco ruined Joan Miller's Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame call, and I'm like, bro, I don't think
Speaker 2: you understand that the joy in which Mike Cruco watches
Speaker 2: and sees the game of baseball, John Newton fully gonna
Speaker 2: choose to call a pennant Mike Cruco, Dude. That's what
Speaker 2: made that amazing is we got Kreuk on the radio
Speaker 2: during the broadcast because it's on Fox. It's Joe Buck
Speaker 2: and Tim McCarver on the call, but you get John
Speaker 2: Miller said, around Mike Cruk are going, we're calling and
Speaker 2: the Giants and one in the pennant he's just reacting.
Speaker 2: And so I you know, you talk about voices of
Speaker 2: your childhood or soundtracks of your childhood. I don't think
Speaker 2: And we all love kaipe Kit this who should be
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer too. And this is not to
Speaker 2: compare it all, but I don't think there's any better
Speaker 2: steward of Giants baseball, and with the brand of Giants
Speaker 2: baseball has been since the time he put on the uniform,
Speaker 2: became a broadcaster, gave it to the fans, preaches the
Speaker 2: book of Giants Baseball and is hoping that he's leaving
Speaker 2: it in a better place. And I don't think there's
Speaker 2: any question that we are better baseball fans, that we
Speaker 2: are better Giants fans, that we are better stewards of
Speaker 2: the game, and and understand what it means to be
Speaker 2: a Giant.
Speaker 1: Better because of what Mike Creco has brought us.
Speaker 2: So while it is a sad thing to think, man,
Speaker 2: we're not going to get crook anymore, we are so
Speaker 2: lucky that we've gotten this many decades and generations out
Speaker 2: of a guy who understands through and through and really
Speaker 2: probably branded and taught us what it meant through and
Speaker 2: through to be a San Francisco Giant and to be
Speaker 2: a Giants fan. And he I don't think he has
Speaker 2: any problem saying he's the biggest fan there is.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I mean.
Speaker 2: He's a ballplayer, and the dude is a fan and
Speaker 2: we are we're better for having him, and we're worse
Speaker 2: for having him having him leave the game. But I'm
Speaker 2: thrilled he gets to do it on his own terms.
Speaker 2: And uh and I'm thrilled that we got as much
Speaker 2: time listening to Mike Cruko as we did because again,
Speaker 2: maybe no better person, player, coach, manager in the history
Speaker 2: of this organization has carried that flag better than Mike
Speaker 2: Creco And I'll stand by that.
Speaker 5: No, absolutely, dude, well said, and just the catchphrases over
Speaker 5: the years, you know, grab some pine, meat, blow and cheese. Dude,
Speaker 5: that's not my favorite, Like ending every review with Murphy
Speaker 5: Marcus at a bed like it's he's just you know,
Speaker 5: he's cool, Like he's cool in the same way that
Speaker 5: Tom Tolbert is cool. A guy that used to play
Speaker 5: the game, but knows how to break it down. And
Speaker 5: there's been so many great analysts through the years, sorry
Speaker 5: play by play guys that are characters like Hawk Harrelson
Speaker 5: or Bob Yucker or Harry Carey. But I think Mike
Speaker 5: Kruco he probably could have done play by play, but
Speaker 5: he had a great play by play guy and Dwayne Kuiper,
Speaker 5: But Mike Kruco, I think in the same way that
Speaker 5: Bill Walton was the John Madden of basketball, like equal
Speaker 5: parts eccentric but also could break to break the game
Speaker 5: down just expertly. I think it's the same thing with
Speaker 5: my Cruco, where you know, some things are goofy, some
Speaker 5: things are quirky, but he knows.
Speaker 3: How to talk ball.
Speaker 5: And I have some stories about Kruco hanging out with
Speaker 5: him in the booth that I'll tell later. But yeah, man,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna miss him on the mic. He is Giants baseball.
Speaker 5: I think of Crook and Kuipe, and obviously those guys
Speaker 5: deserve to go into Cooper's town together, and I hope
Speaker 5: that happens pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Here dude started to interrupt, But we'll get back into this
Speaker 2: because we had a lot of curt stuff to get to.
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of sound and things to talk about,
Speaker 2: and I do want to hear from the callers on this.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are really pissed at how he
Speaker 2: started the show.
Speaker 3: I don't really care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did fine. One I says, I hate y'all
Speaker 2: so much. Derek, that was pure evil. Two nine says Dude,
Speaker 2: that was evil. Yeah, I mean it's not as evil
Speaker 2: as you know, fired a guy with cancer, but hey,
Speaker 2: here we are. Two on nine says that wasn't funny.
Speaker 2: Uh to another two and I says Jesus Christ. Derek,
Speaker 2: that was a little bit much, but nicely done. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Seven seven says that was better than an NBA crab
Speaker 2: back story. Five one is damn you had me going there.
Speaker 2: Quit playing with our emotions. Seven oh seven says Derek.
Speaker 1: That was scary. Lmfao.
Speaker 2: Five one says bro I really started googling Adam Covid.
Speaker 2: You're just gonna get the wrestler, the d superstar.
Speaker 3: It kind of seems like that could happen, right guys, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kind of why not? Six so I don't think so. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh four in says that wasn't funny. Derek.
Speaker 2: Uh nine says damn Deepop eight three one says Superstoke
Speaker 2: Cobs is still here.
Speaker 1: I'd make one of you.
Speaker 2: Uh. Five three says for the next couple of months,
Speaker 2: no one goes on vacation for fear that they're not
Speaker 2: coming back. Well, yeah, five sas dude, you had his
Speaker 2: hook line at center.
Speaker 1: My god, imagine that. Derek's like, so I'm with you
Speaker 1: for four hours.
Speaker 2: Yep, don't forget everybody, just while we're all laughing, and
Speaker 2: ha ha ha ha ha, don't forget that. My partner
Speaker 2: Derek Papa right here did did admit not two months ago,
Speaker 2: but if I died, he would do the show the
Speaker 2: next day.
Speaker 3: Isn't it clear they would make me at this point.
Speaker 2: I die, they'd be like, well you were gone anyway,
Speaker 2: we were gonna let you go anyway. Seriously, anyway, you
Speaker 2: have four and five. Definitely pulled that one off, Derek.
Speaker 2: You had me going over here. Hey man, we got
Speaker 2: a riff. Hey, we got a riff.
Speaker 3: We're still here. We got four for now, one day an.
Speaker 2: Away, cambre, one more day, one more.

Speaker 2: Goodbye at the end of every show as if it's
Speaker 2: the final day. I'm good with that, Yeah, I mean, seriously,
Speaker 2: what what's the alternative?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

Speaker 1: Camby are which sports cast broadcaster?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Mike Kruco?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Greg Papa. Seriously from your time with the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're twenty five years old and you're like, Greig
Speaker 2: Papa was a Raider broadcaster. Thought it was a Niner guy.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it's the A's Maybe, I mean, who knows?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: Bill King?
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear because I broadcasters. To me, it's
Speaker 2: the job we do. But part of the reason I
Speaker 2: do what I do is the love I had for
Speaker 2: guys like John Miller and Joe Angel and Dave Fleming
Speaker 2: and Dwayne Kuiper and Mike Cruco. Like we are one
Speaker 2: of the richest areas in all of the country for broadcasters.
Speaker 2: We've gotten and we're spoiled by it. And it's sad
Speaker 2: to see Mike go, but again thrilled and I say
Speaker 2: this with intent. He's going out on his own terms.

Speaker 1: The news of the day.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, more broadcaster news now a different tone, different a
Speaker 2: different node for sure, Mike, this is happier Mike Cruco
Speaker 2: announcing his retirement. Yeah, bittersweet for sure. We're like, oh man,
Speaker 2: I wanted more of you, but so glad.
Speaker 1: That we had the time. I'm happy it happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, it's more of a celebration for my Cruco
Speaker 5: and when he's accomplished and just being a great broadcaster.
Speaker 5: When you talk about the greatest broadcasters that have graced
Speaker 5: the Bay Area, I mean, think about the galaxy of Stars,
Speaker 5: the Giants, have had the Avengers of John Miller, Dwayne Kiper, Mike,
Speaker 5: Mike Cruco, and Dave Fleming.
Speaker 3: They're unbelievable.
Speaker 5: And when I think of my Cruco, I just think
Speaker 5: of a guy that you know, I feel like you're
Speaker 5: just having a beer with watching a game. I think
Speaker 5: that's what everybody wants in a broadcaster. That's what made
Speaker 5: John Madden so good is because he could talk ball
Speaker 5: with you, but also he was goofy and funny, and
Speaker 5: he's just kind of breaking the game down like' at
Speaker 5: a bar having a cold. One and that's the same
Speaker 5: thing With Mike cruco and my experience With. Cruco uh,
Speaker 5: god this had to be twenty years. Ago when my
Speaker 5: dad started Doing giants. GAMES i would travel around with
Speaker 5: him in the booth AND i THINK i Met cruco

Speaker 5: him but then of course they respected the hell out of.
Speaker 3: It so, Yeah mike's.
Speaker 5: Awesome just like this past year doing the round table
Speaker 5: for The, giants AND i had talked to him in,
Speaker 5: years but him being a part of.
Speaker 1: That he was a guest on the round.
Speaker 5: Table, yeah he was a guest in the round, table

Speaker 5: what's become of? You so, yeah, MAN i, MEAN i
Speaker 5: have so much respect for My cruco And Dwayne, kuper
Speaker 5: AND i hope they go Into cooperstown. Together it's gonna
Speaker 5: be sad when he's on the broadcast. Anymore but he
Speaker 5: had a fantastic, career obviously when you talked About, copes
Speaker 5: so many memories the, parade him saying all that stuff
Speaker 5: about The giants in their, Histories and, Honestly i'll say this,
Speaker 5: Too mike is a fantastic. Broadcaster he's also a fantastic.
Speaker 5: Dad what he did this past year reacting To Pride, Night,
Speaker 5: yeah like that whole. THING i don't know how to
Speaker 5: talk about. That i'm fairly new at this and that's
Speaker 5: a very uncomfortable, conversation BUT i didn't like what, Happened
Speaker 5: AND i know you had opinions about.
Speaker 1: That it's not uncomfortable for, me BUT i KNOW i
Speaker 1: understand it's to navigate for some.
Speaker 5: People, sure, NO i totally get, that especially when you're
Speaker 5: starting out and you're, LIKE i know people have their,
Speaker 5: opinions but at the same, TIME i don't agree with.

Speaker 1: Go so that was a great.
Speaker 5: State, yeah, man thirty six years doing this. Thing i'll
Speaker 5: miss him dearly because he was fantastic on The.
Speaker 2: Brocket and one of the THINGS i think about too
Speaker 2: is WHEN i was a, kid for some, REASON i
Speaker 2: was fascinated with the idea OF i think when you're
Speaker 2: a kid and you watch, sports you really want the,
Speaker 2: play you, assume, like, oh they all love each, other
Speaker 2: all the players love each, other all the broadcasters love each.
Speaker 2: Other BUT i remember asking my, Mama, susie WHEN i
Speaker 2: was like thirteen or, fourteen, LIKE i think we were
Speaker 2: watching a game one time and he And crut And
Speaker 2: kuyper jabbing at each, other and joking around and, laughing
Speaker 2: and we listened to the.
Speaker 1: RAP i was.
Speaker 2: Obsessed it's ALL i, did was listening TO g and
Speaker 2: B r And giants. Baseball AND i said to my, Mama,
Speaker 2: susie do you think they're really? Friends BECAUSE i, remember
Speaker 2: you know, too like there's a reality TO o two
Speaker 2: Where bonds And Cat you're, like, okay they're really, no
Speaker 2: not all. Buddies like you get old enough to clear,
Speaker 2: well you become you, know you get to be fifteen
Speaker 2: years old or thirteen years, old you understand like you

Speaker 2: everybody but when you're a, kid there's still the big
Speaker 2: baseball men and it's this magical, thing and you're you're
Speaker 2: still sort of enamored with the innocence of. It, Right
Speaker 2: and she, SAID i would find it hard to believe
Speaker 2: that they're not really, friends considering how frequently they're. Together
Speaker 2: that being a broadcaster is much different than being a
Speaker 2: teammate of somebody on the, field, Right and that they
Speaker 2: were teammates on the, field that they have a common,
Speaker 2: background and then to realizing to find out that they
Speaker 2: are that deeply connected that they are like best. Friends
Speaker 2: that When mike had his, diagnosis we found out that
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to travel in the same, capacity and
Speaker 2: it had been going on for a while where he
Speaker 2: had the walking stick and all, that and then he's
Speaker 2: officially into the.
Speaker 1: Chair but when we found out That Dwayne kuiper.
Speaker 2: Was his handler on the, road The pipe was, Like
Speaker 2: i'm not going anywhere that he's, not But i'm walking
Speaker 2: him everywhere we got to. Go That i'm the one
Speaker 2: making sure he gets to and from nothing warm my heart.
Speaker 2: More and it speaks to the person That Mike crego
Speaker 2: is And, dwaynekuiper of, course but it just speaks to
Speaker 2: their friendship and to how you know you can't fake.
Speaker 2: This you AND i said, Here we said it yesterday
Speaker 2: and we talked about the.
Speaker 1: Hard stuff that we're.
Speaker 2: FACING a Canbr you can't fake who you are every
Speaker 2: day for that many, hours even in calling a. Game

Speaker 2: where LIKE i would have to drive around and go
Speaker 2: get like car parks from different dealerships and bring them.
Speaker 2: Back i'd like work to use the company. Truck but
Speaker 2: we'd have a thing where it was like super high
Speaker 2: end cars would come.
Speaker 3: In was that the whole? Song nice super high.

Speaker 2: service where we're, like if your car is gonna be ready,
Speaker 2: today we'll take you to work after you drop your car,
Speaker 2: up don't have to like.
Speaker 1: Drive i'd like a guy would drive in from like

Speaker 2: there and then come back and pick him up from
Speaker 2: work at like four o'clock or five o'clock or. Whatever
Speaker 2: ALL i did that entire summer was listening to cambr
Speaker 2: and that was it was the same.
Speaker 1: Thing it's a. Companion it's just a way to get.
Speaker 2: By but baseball hits me in that way in a
Speaker 2: different way because baseball same. Thing it's a good, background
Speaker 2: companion type of sport to have. On you can go
Speaker 2: out to your, garden you can have a, picnic you
Speaker 2: can be in and out of the car and you
Speaker 2: just you're popping in and out and it's all just
Speaker 2: it's just stable and it's. Steady BUT i appreciate that
Speaker 2: text the six y five oh that was that was
Speaker 2: touching to.
Speaker 5: Me, no, Absolutely and that's WHY i Think giants, FANS i,
Speaker 5: mean they love the team and they love the. Broadcasters
Speaker 5: AND i know the season has been. Terrible were they
Speaker 5: nineteen games will low five hundred now like whatever it.
Speaker 5: Is it's it's been an all time bad. Season but
Speaker 5: it makes you forget about that just a little bit
Speaker 5: when you Hear krook And, kipe like you, know the
Speaker 5: way they, are you, know just making fun of the game,
Speaker 5: sometimes like there's lulls of baseball games they make fun
Speaker 5: of the fans or you know what people are. Wearing
Speaker 5: or one of my favorite things is when somebody's yawning
Speaker 5: on camera And kruko will do like A, tarzan.
Speaker 1: You, know, like, oh.
Speaker 3: He wouldn't do.
Speaker 1: That there's just just some yell in the. Back you
Speaker 1: have to do.
Speaker 3: That you have to entertain, People like there is no
Speaker 3: LIKE i appreciate the professional.
Speaker 5: Broadcasters i'm not saying Like crook And kype, aren't but
Speaker 5: like when you're, goofy that brings more people. In but
Speaker 5: like you, Know Vince scully fantastic when he gives you
Speaker 5: notes to like interesting to note about this, Player like
Speaker 5: he's a.
Speaker 3: Professional he doesn't need somebody with.
Speaker 5: Him crook And, Kype, yes they are fantastic and what they,
Speaker 5: do but they're they're like they like to play around.
Speaker 3: A little bit and that and that makes it more.
Speaker 5: Entertaining like white people love inside THE nba because they're
Speaker 5: not breaking down the game all the.
Speaker 3: Time they're having fun a little.
Speaker 5: Bit so you can be professional and break down ex's
Speaker 5: and o's all day, long and then you can mess
