Synopsis

It's our 400th, so we’re going big with a guest who’s called it all, seen it all, and somehow lived to laugh about it. Steve Albert ("A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Broadcast Booth") -- Hall of Fame broadcaster and proud member of the legendary Albert sportscasting family (including nephew/Episode 320 guest Kenny) -- joins us for a deep dive into his one-of-a-kind, 45-year ride through the wilds of professional sports. From vanished leagues to unforgettable fights, from Brooklyn bedrooms-turned-broadcast-booths to center stage at Showtime Championship Boxing, Albert's stories are equal parts history and hilarity. In this special milestone episode, we retrace Albert’s journey through memorable stops like: The WHA’s Cleveland Crusaders, where his broadcast partner was the coach’s elbow-needling wife; The MISL’s New York Arrows, where goal-scoring was nonstop and whiplash an occupational hazard; The final ABA game ever played, which he and his older brother Al called from opposing sides;
