Welcome back to the Adam Schaefter podcast.

On this week's episode, we will be joined by the man hosting the landmark 300th episode of Real Sports with Brian Gumbull, which debuts Tuesday, April 19th at 10 p.m.

And is available on HBO and to stream on HBO Max, the man that has hosted the show since
