The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.

The Shotgun Start

Bridgeman rallies in South Carolina, AI doomerism, & Bachelor party rollbacks

Despite the Brewers' 3-0 World Series lead, Andy is not running away from the noise and is joined by The Boys for the first part of this episode. The trio run through the Schedule for the Week and debate whether the Asia-Pacific Am or the VidantaWorld Mexico Open should earn the title of "Event of the Week." PJ also provides a comprehensive preview of the Simmons Bank Championship, which has once again been demoted to the Golf Channel App for live coverage on Sunday evening. They also react to the news of LIV Golf hiring former TaylorMade CEO Mark King as a "senior advisor," with more to come from Brendan on Friday. The second half of this episode features Andy, PJ, Brendan, and Kevin Van Valkenburg reading through listener stories about playing against professional athletes before fame, with KVV sharing his own experiences against Pro Football Hall of Famers! Listeners share tales across all sports, delighting the group and hopefully entertaining the masses at large. We will return on Friday for our annual Halloween Costume episode as we approach the end of October.

VidantaWorld returns, "The LIV" hires a King, & Playing athletes before fame

Move over, Blockie - a new Champions Tour rookie is taking over from here! Andy, Brendan, and PJ are all giddy following Rory Sabbatini's Sunday charge at the Stifel Charity Classic and immediately discuss the Silver Slovak's first win on the Champions Tour. As per usual, Paul Azinger brought the heat on commentary as the Boy from Bratislava got hot, playing the final four holes in five under par to cement the victory. Andy then recaps his trip to Milwaukee for Game 2 of the World Series and shares some enlightening statistics regarding the Brewers fanbase, of which he is now NOT a part of. The two move on to the unfinished Butterfield Bermuda Championship and wonder if it was really too windy to play on Sunday or Monday with a full field. A whole new group of players announced they were not joining LIV 2.0 over the weekend, leaving just the "Big 4" of Bland, Tringale, Steele, and Campbell as public commitments so far. Dustin Johnson has not yet decided either way, but he is leading a group looking for severance payouts from the Saudi Arabian government! We wrap with a brief Football Minute after another last-second Browns win and a Jets loss that might be the worst one in recent memory.

A Chicago team must have lost something somewhere because Andy is once again calling in sick for this Wednesday episode. The Boys join Brendan for a lively round of In/Out/Alternate as a way of previewing the Butterfield Bermuda Championship shortly before PJ pulls off one of the most impressive feats in golf journalism (no spoilers). Then, they discuss the recent news that Royal County Down may get some work done from familiar sets of hands. They almost forget to run through Tuesday's blockbuster TGL roster announcements, but fear not - the signings of Blades Brown, Ben James, Ryan Fox, and more are discussed at length to close things out.
