What is Dan's accusation against Jeremy?

Dan Le Batard 0:24
I am so disappointed that there has been a lack of evolution in America and in 2025 and with our show that makes it this many years after Jackie Robinson that Jeremy and Pitch Clock are segregated. What? baseball lives over there.

Why is baseball segregated on the show?

Dan Le Batard 0:45
Baseball lives in a segment that Jeremy wants to do with others, not with us, because nobody around here wants to talk about baseball, wants to be excited about opening day. I've got a room full of people who don't care about baseball. Billy cares about it, but the Marlins have broken his soul.
Billy 1:01
I mean, I'll be there. I'll be there supporting the team. But, you know, I'm biased, of course. I'll be there taking it in.

You want to do pitch clock next week? Well, I mean... Segregated.
Billy 1:10
Here's the problem with pitch clock. Because you're saying no one wants to talk about baseball. Is it possible no one wants to talk to Jeremy?
Dan Le Batard 1:17
Segregated. I think we should do... All right, I'm going to head out. I think we should just... No, you're not going to head out. You're going to be here. You're going to do Pitch Clock in 15 minutes.
Jeremy 1:25
Well, that's over in Studio B. I can get ready.
Dan Le Batard 1:28
Okay. I mean, look, I don't think it's very friendly what they did there. I believe, though, that Pitch Clock... When has this show ever been friendly to me? It's never been segregated. It's never...
Amin Elhassan 1:37
Well, I got sent to the penalty box a lot, man. There was a time when I couldn't say anything. I was like, I mean, go to the penalty box. It felt a little, you know. The implications. Yeah, the implications.
Roy 1:50
We've got a penalty. Five minutes. Major asshole. Jeremy, right? Jeremy. Get out of me.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 1:58
Wow.
Roy 1:59
Jeremy's privilege.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 2:01
I mean, that's true.

What are the details of the Cain Velasquez incident?

Dan Le Batard 2:04
We all know that's true. Just because Amin was black. That's it. Yeah, born on third base. That's the only reason I did it. This Cain Velasquez story, if you guys have not been reading it, Cain Velasquez, a very menacing man, UFC heavyweight champion. And I'd like to get the details right on this because a lot of parents in the audience, OK, because I don't know what it is to summon this particular rage. I do not have kids, so I cannot find in me anything that would make me react the way that Cain Velasquez did, where my rage consumes me in such a fashion. that I stop thinking about consequences at all. Cain Velasquez was so infuriated that his son had been molested by an adult that he tried to start shooting him in the street while chasing him and I cannot imagine a lot of things scarier than an enraged Cain Velasquez who's not thinking about consequences
Dan Le Batard 3:08
trying to shoot me and accidentally shooting others and now he goes to prison for five years at least and i'm guessing a lot of parents in the audience might understand the idea of getting so beside yourself outside yourself with rage that you decide to try to kill somebody And you stop thinking about what that means because your love and protection is such that that is the worst thing that you can do to somebody. The worst thing an adult can do to somebody is take advantage of someone vulnerable to be the protector of that person. And to feel responsible for allowing that to happen in any way, I think anyone listening to this can understand how a rage would consume you that would make you stop caring about consequences.

Well, clearly, Cain had to go to prison because he had an innocent bystander. But as a parent, for the person who did that heinous act, that right there is justifiable homicide. And I don't think any jury in the world, if the person who committed the heinous act, if I had actually killed that person, would convict me.
Dan Le Batard 4:20
I don't think that's, is that legally right? I don't think that's legally right.
Billy 4:23
I don't think so at all. I'm pretty sure you would still, like, justification be damned. I think you would still get convicted.
Dan Le Batard 4:28
I think it would be files under crime of passion. No, but it would be crime. I don't think, there would be a jury that would convict you because you can't, that's not the way that you can react to things. And Cain Velasquez is deeply sorry. The part of this that I'm more interested in is how rage works. Blindly.
