In this episode of Club 30, Henrik and Jay sit down with Kenny Albert — the hardest-working voice in sports and the newly named lead play-by-play announcer for the New York Rangers. They talk about his journey behind the mic, calling games across every major league, and growing up in a legendary broadcasting family. From Victor Cruz’s 99-yard touchdown to Jose Bautista’s iconic bat flip, Kenny shares his favorite calls and the voices that inspired him. He also opens up about the meticulous prep that keeps him ready for anything — including pulling Henrik’s first career shutout notes from 2005. Plus, stories from 250 broadcast partners, a fake interview with Mayor Bloomberg, and what it really takes to stay sharp in the booth.
