Sherri and Trapper just in the makeup room getting ready for the show. Right, Sherri? All right, nothing weird about this either. I am holding an upside down al Bundy football helmet. I'll tell you why in a momentarily. Okay My Pochi, my co-hosts are holding schedule printouts, and they're not just holding them. They're studying them. They're almost, I would say the word is fretting over them. Fretting Jamie Akbar. Peter, we're going to do something called as you see there, survival for week one. This is how this is going to work. Each of us pick just one team playing in the week, one schedule that we think is going to win this weekend. That's it. Straight up win. No point spread. No, none of that and win by one point or 50 points. It doesn't matter if that team win, you advance to the second week. If that team loses, you're out the first week. Sometimes you hear them call it survivor. Pool's eliminator pool's all that stuff. We're going to do one here. Now, Peter is good at a lot of things regarding broadcasting, regarding football, you really are. You suck at this. You are very bad at this. Can you explain a little history and why you're so bad at it? The last two years we have done this segment. Jamie's been a part of it. I have been eliminated after one week. Yes Last year I took the Vikings. They lost to the Buccaneers. The year before that, I believe I took the someone and the Giants beat them in a game that they took. It was I'm zero for two. I'm out. Not even getting to second week. No okay good. Why does it make me so mad that you're not fretting over a schedule? Why are you so confident? I'm really bad at fantasy football. I'm great at this. I just have. I have a system, and I have a formula that I do it by. Akbar. Are you ready for this? This is my first time ever doing this. So you got to tell me what's the secret sauce? I will not tell you the secret sauce. You come up with your own. They never give away the recipe for the secret sauce. Here we go. The reason I have the helmet is our four names are in this on four cards. The first name that I pick out gets the first pick. Pick of the litter. Pick any game this weekend, including Eagles. Packers tonight if you want. Okay if you get your name called forth, there's already maybe three games that look pretty tasty for this. They're already taken. So without further ado, as they say, I have no idea what order they're in, but I can tell you now that I've picked one. The first pick of week one survivor. This is kind of appropriate goes to Peter. Peter, any game you want, Peter, pick the team. You think they're going to win this weekend? I always talk about vibes. You do. You're constantly on about vibes. I'm all about a vibe. Yeah. I don't love the Cowboys vibes right now. I don't love the Niners vibes right now. And that's just my I don't love the Bengals vibes right now. I don't I don't love the Chase thing. I don't like seeing footage of them walking across a parking lot to practice. I don't like any of that. And yet I can't see them losing at home to the Patriots. I an Eagle, Charles Davis, the great Evan Washburn on the call. The CBS early window. My first pick I'm now oh for two I'm sorry Bengals fans for this I am taking Joe Burrow healthy and blond ambition the whole thing. Bengals over Patriots as my survivor pick for week one. First out of the gates. You know why this makes me happy? Because if Jacoby Brissett Jerod Mayo go into the jungle and win against my fault, that's going to be so funny. My fault. Blame it on being the fourth pick. Like this is his opportunity and we all have something to root for. Now guys go Patriots. Come on baby let's go Pats. All right now. So you can't take the Bengals there off. All right. You can take the Patriots if you want. Clarification Peter can't take the Bengals now for the rest of the season lest he you only get to use them once a year. So if the next week's Bengals game is against a high school team he can't pick, the Bengals hired three additional staff people just to keep track of this game. So just so you know, all right. Is that what we're using them for the second pick in the week one survivor pool who cannot pick the Bengals. Come on come on come on come on come on come on Kyle okay Kyle I don't trust Kyle. Let me reach into my little dossier. Oh here. Here's my dossier schedule okay. No Bengals. All right I'm just gonna I'm gonna go. Go with my go with my gut. Go with my hear. Give me the bears at home. Bears over the bears at home. Over the Titans. Give me the bears at home. Over the Titans. I don't know if Caleb is ready yet to be Lisan Al-gaib, but everything I hear from Halas Hall is that. Oh my God, this defense is so good. They're at home. They're playing against the new team. You got to win this game. Win it three to nothing I don't care, I'm taking the bears. Bears over Titans. Which means we will reveal simultaneously the third pick which I'm going to show. And then if your name is not here Jamie or Akbar, you have the fourth pick. I'm the new guy. I mean, come on, we'll find out right now. How about the beauty of this game? Bengals and bears. First two teams taken I know what a time to be alive with the third pick of the week. One survivor pool. Come on, Jamie, call this rookie hazing rookie. This is. Rookie hazing. Sorry, bro. Jamie. No bears, no Bengals. No bears. Anybody else you want? I guess you can't take the Chiefs or Ravens either. But go ahead. We've done 117 hours of television this week. Yes, first week of the season. I've had so much coffee, I've thought I had burned a hole into my stomach. Up until this point, I was fine. My acid indigestion right now is through the roof. I'm so stressed. I don't like this game. I the thing I like least as opposed to this game is I don't like losing. Yeah, like to be right. Okay. I had three options still on my list that I wanted to pick. Please don't pick mine. That's the fun of it I'm going to take you to I did this last year, my first week, and it did just fine for me. I'm going to go Seahawks at home. I thought the Broncos Seahawks Seahawks at home against Denver. Do you want to give us a little bit of why Geno Smith was on the show this week. And he talked us through why the Seahawks had, in Peter's words, good vibes in Seattle. New head coach. But a lot of the same cast of characters. And they had a couple running backs and the angry runs list. It's a lot of good things. All right. So our nemesis right now, Bo Nix is yours will Levis is mine. And Jacoby Brissett. Let's take a look at the picks Peter so far. Here we go. So Akbar you cannot take the Bengals. You cannot take the bears. You cannot take the Seahawks again just to play Mr. context here. We took three teams. None of these three teams made the playoffs last year Cincinnati Seattle Chicago. All missed the playoffs. That's how crazy the NFL is. I don't like that. I went to Seattle just to give Akbar a second, because I don't want to mess around with their division. So I'm going outside the division because if I have to, I just wanted to pick them not to have to pick them again this year. So I took care of Seattle. That was my first pick that you took, and I think you did that. All right. So you were going to take Seattle. Are you deciding between two or do you have are you ready. Like think out loud. Yeah, yeah. No Yeah. Then I was going to go with with with your pick and then you, you messed me up, I'm going to go with another. I'm going to go with another rookie, or against another rookie. You got, Jayden Daniels, going to Tampa. It's his first start on the road. Okay they're a new team. Yeah. Are you are you taking. I'm going with the Buccaneers. Going with the Buccaneers? I'm going with the Buccaneers on this one. I kind of like Baker Mayfield. It's going to take some time to kind of gel with this crew. But I'm going to go with Baker Mayfield and his his solid crew. All right I hope we all make it through. It'll be fun. It's never happened. Ask you a question Akbar. You just didn't want to mess around with that game that's being played across the street on Sunday. Yeah that Chargers Raiders yeah. Chargers Raiders that one I thought about. But I thought you know what. Let me just let me save that one. Since you guys told me now that you once you pick a team you can't use it later down the road. So I'm going to save that for our show usually operates at this frenetic, high energy pace. This segment continues to be the most tense segment. It is television I have. I think you're right, Peter. I felt it. I it's surprising to me that nobody went Buffalo at home against the Arizona Cardinals, including me. That game scares the crap out. It does. All right. It does for me too. But that's that's when the jumps off the schedule to me. Nobody took the 40 niners at home on a Monday night against the Jets. Nah, I'm not, I'm not I'm not touching no one. No one took the vibes, Peter. The Texans on the road in Indianapolis Road game scare me. These are. Hey Peter tech TV term. These are called the companies on this show. Very chairs, very uncomfortable segment to sit in the company I think that's why we're there. Well normally if you watch the show for a while, normally I have a choker necklace on and sandals and I'm doing my full Jeff Probst and my heavily pocketed shirt. You don't dress like this on a survivor island, but next week we'll get back to it. We're locked in now. Watch the games. Odds are at least one, likely two. If three people lose in week one. And there's only one survivor that happened once. Jason McCourty won week one, a couple of segment was over, and if we all lose, I think we're back week two. If we all lose, we're back. Week two. I don't even want to put that we are going, yes, yes, that's not going to happen. Stop! That's it
