Summary

Jason argues that both the new proposal for the NBA's anti-tanking rules and the expansion of the NCAA Tournament will lead to the elimination of consequences. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver fails to recognize that the NBA Draft Lottery does not impose genuine consequences on teams. Jason suggests implementing penalties for teams that do not make the playoffs, such as fining the team owner, team president, general manager, head coach, and assistant coaches. Steve Kim joins the discussion to talk about the decline of the NBA and the implications of the NCAA Tournament changes. They also cover several other topics, including whether LeBron James and the Lakers will eliminate the Rockets tonight, Shaq's embrace of Victor Wembanyama, and reports that Mike Tomlin could replace Mike Vrabel in New England. Finally, Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Brendan Sorsby's gambling controversy, the NCAA's tournament expansion, and reactions to the NFL Draft.

0:00.0	Anybody remember the old television show, truth or consequences.
0:20.4	It was a game show, kind of a trivia-based game show. You would ask
0:26.9	the contestant, the panel, some trivia question. If they didn't get it right, then there was
0:33.1	this stunt that they would have to do an embarrassing stunt, that they would have to do a really stunt that they would have to do a really hard
0:39.3	stunt they'd have to do on camera those were the consequences you know you answer the question
0:47.3	truthfully accurately no consequences you answer it wrongly. There were consequences.
0:56.3	And it's a reflection of like, because this was popular in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, maybe a little
1:05.8	bit in the 80s, truth, or consequences was still around.
1:10.0	Asked your dad, your uncle, your auntie, your mother, whatever.

1:33.2	Jesus Christ? He's the truth. The Bible is an explanation of the truth and an explanation of
1:42.0	the consequences for ignoring the truth.
1:47.4	And if you look out at America today, we don't have a truth or consequences
1:54.8	mentality anymore. We don't believe in consequences and we're hostile to the truth.
2:01.9	And I bring all this up because I look at the NBA and Adam Silver and they have been trying
2:11.0	to figure out how to stop tanking and how to stop teams from putting out bad product and from players from missing games and load
2:22.6	managing. And they don't know how to fix this NBA draft lottery problem, their tanking problem,
2:31.7	because what they don't want to implement are consequences.
2:37.3	Consequences are a good thing. They're part of pushing people towards truth. They're part of
