Episode 171-  Wednesday July 6th
 
(Theme Song)
 
Today on the show:  The Orioles kept their fans “Sleepless in Seattle” over the weekend, before attempting redeeming themselves in the “City of Angels”....  (now that’s what I call a double feature-Meg Ryan-movie reference intro that our endearingly stuttering host would surely approve of…) - we got your “3-up, 3-down”, we got your “Ball Bag”, and we got yet another submission to our “Anyone Can Podcast” contest…  oh, and did I mention a guest host too?  All that and more on today’s episode of Section 336!
 
Introduce the Hosts  and World’s Worst Intern
What up 336-ers!!!  I am the Zany Bert Rode - thank you for joining us in Section 336 - the Next Generation of Baltimore Sports Talk.  Today is Wednesday, July 6, 2016 and you’re listening to our 171st episode.  Section 336 is a proud partner with EutawStreetReport.com and 24x7 Networks.  You can actually watch our show LIVE on-video every week at our Facebook page, just search for Section 336.  Its just that easy.  Give us a ‘LIKE’ while you’re at it!
With me, as always, is the button-lover Josh Sroka…  sitting just outside the studio window (and I’d say ‘as always’ for him too, but he’s not ‘always’ here), we have the Worlds Worst Intern  - say hello intern!  
As our regular listeners already know, our fearless leader, the Endearingly Stuttering Matt Sroka is not with us again this week.  He is, however, alive as well, by all accounts, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Africa,  teaching english, sharing knowledge, changing lives, and basically doing bigger and better things than we are, here in Josh’s basement - but as we’ve said all along: the show must go on.  For good or bad, Section 336 is here for you every week.
