HOUR 3 - Seth and Sean discuss their biggest surprises to come out of NFL roster cut down day, dive into the Astros shut out loss and concerns about Kyle Tucker ever coming back, and discuss what Tilman Fertitta had to say about the University of Houston's new Athletic Director.

The Rockets (41-41) finished 2023-24 at .500, and their 19-win jump from last season was the largest of any NBA team and the second-biggest annual increase in franchise history. Houston is just the fifth team in the last 30 years to follow up a 60-loss season with a non-losing campaign.Given those clear signs of progress, owner Tilman Fertitta recently rewarded GM Rafael Stone and assistant GM Eli Witus with contract extensions.With that in mind, Friday's episode explains many of the factors pushing Fertitta in that direction. Other topics include offseason tidbits gleaned from Stone's end-of-season press conference, as well as a preliminary look at storylines from the 2024 playoffs that could impact Houston.

ASAP, the food delivery service formerly known as Waitr, has shut down after the company filed for Ch. 7 bankruptcy, according to an 8-K form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2.Waitr was founded in 2013 as a boutique delivery platform by students at McNeese University and then was officially launched in 2015 before spreading throughout Louisiana and into other regions. In 2018, the company was acquired by Landry's owner Tilman Fertitta's blank check company, Landcadia Holdings Inc., for $308 million.Since then, the company has experienced a series of financial ups and downs as the restaurant industry entered the golden era of food delivery and it was “sink or swim” in the increasingly crowded market. Waitr tried to differentiate itself from competitors like Grubhub and DoorDash by catering toward smaller, independent restaurants in mid-sized cities.
