Steve interviews Tim Brown (00:25:30) who returns to the podcast to promote his new book about Nolan Ryan. Tim discusses why he decided to write a book on Nolan Ryan and explains why Ryan's principles made his such a good subject. Tim and Steve talk about Ryan's unbreakable records, his relationship with Texas, and his failures in the playoffs as a player and as an executive. Tim also looks ahead to his future, gives his thoughts on the E:60 on Jim Abbott, and discusses the modern pitching arm.

Steve starts the show with a packed First things First that includes talk about the end of the 2025-26 Buffalo Sabres, the 2026 Braves first slump, Milan and Juventus failing to make Champions League, and news on who will play for Italy this June. The show ends with one last thing about trying to stay busy during a rainy holiday weekend with trivia, movies, and chicken wings.
