Super Bowl 60 Props and Picks

·1 hr 19 min

Around The Couch opens in cold-weather chaos, with Minnesota frozen solid, kids racing around, and the hosts riffing before the topic really lands. One of them shows up in a Minnesota Vikings Herschel Walker jersey and a bald cap, and the bit takes over fast. The joke keeps shifting as everyone tries to figure out what the prop is supposed to be. Someone calls him a conehead. Someone else acts like it is a total mystery. Andy gets driven out by the nonsense for a beat. Then the show resets and gets back to business. The main game is Super Bowl picks, framed through a trivia question about the least likely championship matchup in U.S. sports history. The hosts go one at a time so nobody talks over everybody else. That does not last very long. The guesses bounce from baseball pairings to basketball to recent upsets. Mets, Royals, Braves, Twins, Rangers, Diamondbacks, Pacers, and Lakers all get a turn in the mess. The answer lands on the 1991 Braves and Twins. The reveal turns the whole thing into a better-than-average bar argument. There is real football context in the way they talk about odds and matchup improbability. The comedy sits right on top of it. After the trivia, the conversation drifts again, this time toward Vegas. The hosts trade stories about who has been, who has not, and what it feels like to walk into casino noise with your brain still working. One voice says the trick is to lean into the noise and become part of it. Another jokes that it sounds like a Doug Jones performance. The segment ends with old memories, a few more jokes, and the kind of loose goodbye that feels earned rather than polished. Around The Couch keeps the focus on fandom as a long-running group project, equal parts memory, mockery, and actual picks.

As heard by us

A Super Bowl picks show that runs on banter, trivia, and easygoing chaos.

Around The Couch opens in a cold Minnesota setting and leans straight into the bit: the bald cap gets mistaken for a conehead, Andy bails for a minute, and the confusion keeps feeding the joke. The show works best when it stays in that loose, group-chat rhythm.
