Thanks for talking with your mouth full of a pimento sandwich

I’m a female listener and this is my favorite podcast of any genre. I listen religiously three times each week. I love the inside jokes, random non-golf tangents, and genuine golf takes. Brendan and Andy are the best duo. They sometimes act like an old married couple and I love it. I’ve listened to other golf podcasts and this one just feels so natural and is so fun. The intro and Andy’s “Brendan!” sets up every episode perfectly and puts a smile on my face every time. Keep up the great work!!

These guys are so dumb and this show is so dumb but it brings me 3 entertaining and dumb episodes each week. Highly recommend.

My go-to podcast for Tosti updates. No interest in fighting.

I love this pod. Listen 3 times a week. Highly recommend. I don’t know what form to do this, but I just need to get it out there. Nothing makes me want to quit the pod more than listening to SGS when Andy and Brendan are physically together. My wife refers to this pod as “the guys with the voices.” That’s because the boys have distinctive voices, and they are an acquired taste. Now, I’m not here to speak ill of someone’s voice. Very little you can do about that. But when the boys are podcasting in person, they dip into what I would refer to as a “lay down” voice. It is a cross between a mumble, whisper, and resembles tones that would be used in an intimate setting. I am sure this is something to do with the recoding set up, but I start getting nervous anytime the guys are co-locating. Especially a trip. My only gripe. 5 stars for sure.

Andy and Brendan bring intelligence and humor to pro golf and golf architecture chatter. I love the fried egg but make no mistake- this is my favorite podcast out there.

What else can you say, this podcast serves the perfect blend of humor, hand hitting truths, and the joys of being slightly washed up. I'm all in*

I really enjoy the pod and it’s one of the best out there. They’re topical and having fun. But I just wish brendan didn’t throw cold water on everything and stop andy from going down some fun tangents. Brendan approaches the pod as if he’s hitting bullet points and trying to get done as fast as possible. Andy tends not to be able to accept equipment opinions other than his own. But overall, it’s fun and worth listening.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for 3 or 4 years. The shed storm door, might be the hardest I’ve laughed!! I’ll order a shirt with the storm door flying opening with a Twister movie theme!

Z best golf pod!

Just found this and have to say it’s now my favorite golf pod. I follow Tour golf and they have very entertaining , funny takes. Keep up the good work

My go to for all my champions tour news.

The best bits and banter. Have noticed a few of their segments being shamelessly copied by other golf pods with lesser result. My go-to golf pod.

I’ve given the other golf pods a try and this is my favorite. If Shotgun didn’t exist I would listen to NLU or Shane Bacon or the Golfer’s Journal. Those are fine podcasts but I don’t have time to be dedicated to more than one and Shotgun is the best for its irreverence and humor. I love the golf advice. If you like to laugh, give these guys a chance.

Best golf podcast out there and it’s not even close

Smylie Kaufman for NBC!!!!

It’s worth listening if only for the player nicknames and bespoke jargon. I giggle every time I hear Sepptic Tank, The Coetzee Zone, Tommy Tables among many others. My friends now wonder why I refer to people as Burly Boys or Thirst Buckets - it’s oddly infectious and provides amusing context that make following golf much more enjoyable.

A podcast brought to you by 2x guys who cook bacon with their shirts off

Took me time getting used to Andy. When I started listening, I had seen a picture of Brendan and thought it was Andy. Something about Andy’s voice coming out of Brendan’s body was just odd and I couldn’t get into it. Saw Andy on Tourist Sauce and I got it. Now I listen every episode and can’t live without these two. Wish they’d have more guests and Andy would get agree to complicate his life by adding a third Mic. Overall, three day a week golf pod with up to the second golf news with two hilarious golf nuts—hard to beat!

Always makes me laugh. —Alex, 31, 5’11”, 135 lbs, willing to fight after a 6 pack.

Congratulations on your fiver-year anniversary of The Shotgun Start pod. By far, my favorite golf pod. Makes my day 3x a week. Thanks for a wonderful potpourri of news, humor, insights, analysis and zany stuff. Keep it up! Congratulations! PS Only suggestion is a California geography episode to welcome Andy and his family to Northern California 😊

12 minutes in and these jokers are still talking about themselves. Total losers and one has a voice that’s so annoying it could replace waterboard.

Now too much cursing And no actual analysis Only good part is schedule of the week

Perfect balance of nonsensical comedy and informative content & takes.

The pod is great

Comparing the Beatles to the Foo Fighters? Tapping out. You two are ridiculous.

Greatest segment to hit the airways since Bermans fastest 3 minutes. Hilarious stuff

I’m 22 y/o with no kids. Found myself scrolling Blippi videos on YouTube this morning to investigate the allegations from todays pod.

They are funny, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and at times, silly. This is my favorite pod that I listen to. As soon as they release an episode, I listen to it.

I’ve been a big fan of the No Laying Up guys, but recently have been very much enjoying this pod as well and I’d say it is a a great complement to their podcast feed. Insightful takes and good recaps, and I love the way Andy says “Brendan!” at the beginning of each episode haha. Good stuff fellas.

Yikes, just a ridiculous and deranged take. Lil Brindyn might need to keep these thoughts limited to his antifa gatherings

When you spend your whole podcast trying to bash LIV and pump the PGA. We know where you stand. If you don’t like LIV, then don’t watch it. I for one enjoy both! Pass on this podcast it isn’t really a golf podcast. It’s just two guys that set around talking trash about everyone.

The take you are going with on Mr. Block is cringy at best.

Some dude and Daffy Duck are 95% negative about golf.

I listen to dozens of podcasts. This is my favorite and the only one where I don’t fast forward through the ads. Skipping ads in this one means that you will miss some laughs.

One of the best period. The guys are both entertaining and bring a great perspective to golf.

Love this podcast. Good humor and golf insight

These guys are on an unbelievable level of knowing a ton about golf. Complete geniuses

Come on guys most any private club in the US asks members and guests ( patrons ) to not wear their hats backwards !!

Great combination of humor and analysis

C'mon guys your content is great. But can you please stop saying the word "like" every other word? It's obnoxious.

To me this is a perfect podcast. It’s chief purpose seems to be to create absurd nicknames and cat based rating systems. Somehow both the silliest and best pro golf podcast.

Brendan and Andy are the best. Good stuff 3x a week. Why does Brendan call Langer Lonner? Just his joie d vivre I guess…

A podcast in which a youth basketball coach and a Northern Californian in a shed meander through conversations about fruit, the 1990s NBA, grocery store poultry, and occasionally, golf. 5/5 highly recommend.

The best golf podcast by far… classic.

by far my favorite rotisserie chicken and cat podcast. A clear #1 pod to listen to for all Magic Sticks fans

I like the podcast but it puts me on tilt every time Brendan says Cameron “Yunn” instead of Cameron YounG, or “strawn” instead of stronG.

Love it

Andy (the fried egg) and Brendan are too notch. More SGS golf advice please!

Found this podcast a few months ago and it has quickly become one of my go-to pods the moment it is released. Andy and Brendan have such a good banter and they cover all the topics without beating a dead horse. Truly a great podcast!
