Giants ‘mom of the year’ broadcast moment goes viral because of lazy man beside her: ‘Smack him!’
The Giants legendary broadcast booth of Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper often needs something to entertain it during games, given how poorly the team’s on-field product has been.
One such moment came during the Giants’ game against the Twins on Tuesday, which sparked a lot of viral backlash.
An X account posted a clip of the game’s NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast, in which a woman wearing a Giants hat can be seen sidestepping back into her mid-row seat while holding three plates of food. All the while, she has her baby settled into her front carrier.
“Holy smokes, Mike! Look at this,” Kuiper said.
“If there’s ever a true definition of a multitasking mother, that is the deal right there,” Krukow said.
Right before the woman sat down, she had a quick conversation with the man seated nearby, presumably her partner. He stood up, appeared to say something curt to her, then watched her sit down with the food and the baby on her chest — all without offering to help.
“Did I just hear that guy say, ‘Did you forget something?’” Kuiper then said.
Kruk and Kuip then joked that the dad was asking whether she forgot to get ketchup while the next pitch was delivered.
A pitch was thrown before the camera turned back to the couple. The man was chowing down on his food while the mother and her daughter watched on, trying to get settled.
“Well that’s mom of the year right there!” Krukow said.
“She’ll be the last one to eat, too,” added Kuiper.
After another pitch, the broadcast showed the man saying something to the woman while eating what looked to be a french fry. The woman looked away and said something to the other woman next to her.
“She just said to that lady, ‘I’m gonna smack him right in the nose!’” said Kuiper.
This clip has gone viral, amassing over 5.3 million views in less than 24 hours. Many fans are celebrating the woman while expressing anger at the man’s refusal to do anything other than eat the food she got him.
The man’s lackluster effort mirrors San Francisco’s season.
