Season 2, Show 10

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and…no one! That’s right, Michael has to fly solo this week without his Gumby, his Bert or his Tonto! With both Darren and Nate unavailable, it’s time for the first solo flight in Can of Corn history - just don’t go thinking it will be any less long-winded (it still goes for 26+ minutes)! As usual, the show is packed with injury news, rookie updates and Cafe Talk - it’s just that this week, the “witty banter” comes off as a BIT more schitzo when you’re by yourself! Regardless of how much Michael likes the sound of his own voice, it’ll be back to normal next week, but in the meantime it’s time to grab your glove and head for the outfield - here comes The Can of Corn!

Season 2, Show 9

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! Back to the grind…Wait, what grind? This is when fantasy baseball starts to get really interesting! If you find yourself pining away for football season already, maybe a fresh batch of injury news, Cafe Talk, Tools of the Week, etc. can get you back into the mood - we’re just a few short months from the fantasy playoffs and now is the time you can still make some moves! In this show, we’ll cover topics from the various realms of the Cafe, as well as some good ol’ friendly competition. If you listen closely, you’ll even hear Michael pout (many times, actually) for e-mails even though we got one and forgot to cover it (sorry Big Mike, don’t hate us!). You know what time it is? It’s time to grab your glove and head for the outfield - here comes The Can of Corn!

Season 2, Show 8

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! Who needs the Stanley Cup final or the NBA Finals when you have Major League Baseball’s first year player draft?! We promise that a maximum of five percent of this show is dedicated to the greatness of Stephen Strasburg, and we only talk about one other drafted player - the rest is up to you guys, the listeners, to put a bug in our ears about a guy you’d like us to hype/break down and then we’ll do the leg work. The rest of this week’s show is dedicated to all the good ol’ meat and potatoes of the Can of Corn: injury updates, roster advice, Cafe talk and a few games we still don’t know how to score, so grab your glove and head for the outfield - here comes The Can of Corn!
