2.6: Deep River Salt & Vinegar
#6
04/24/2024

Thanks for the bag, Zach! As usual, our conversation went a lot of non-chip-related places. We rounded out the last 5 minutes with some discussion of these kettle cooked classics. Not the most memorable S&V we've had, but not the worst either. We enjoyed our time in the studio after a long day and we're happy that we always have this show to look forward to. Thanks for listening, Chip Champions!


2.5: Lay's BLT (East Coast Inspired)
#5
04/17/2024

Wowzers! We're back with an AMAZING chip (no matter what Mama Barrett has to say about it). It's not flavorless...it's very good. Something has gone horribly wrong with Mama Barrett's taste buds and we're truly concerned for her well-being. Do NOT let her intro discourage you from picking these up at your local grocery. Thank you all for listening! Eat a bag of chips!


2.4: Trader Joe's Pizza Party
#4
04/08/2024

Despite us calling this season 2 episode 3 no less than 5 times during this episode, it's season 2 episode 4! These Trader Joe's pizza-flavored chips were amazing, contrary to the opinion of Mama Barrett! Brodie described his trip to DC with Zach and we enjoyed the chips at the end. Thank you for listening! Eat a bag of chips!


2.3: Herr's Ranch Habanero
#3
04/01/2024

Happy Easter! We hope you all had some fun times with friends and family this past weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed Herr's Ranch Habanero chips along with a few chocolate bunnies. While writing this, I''m remembering that we may not have actually given these chips a 0-10 rating during the episode. But after a brief conference with Brodie, we've decided these are a solid 7.5. Thank you for listening! Eat a bag of chips!


2.2: Keogh's Irish Whiskey Barbeque
#2
03/25/2024

We're cruising along here in Season 2 with another bag of Keogh's thanks to Jenn Jenn. They tasted more like barbeque and beer than Irish whiskey, but Brodie seemed to be a fan. We talked about Brodie's new found love for the drums and we'll have to share some of what he has learned soon! Have a great week, Chip Champions!


2.1: Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion
#1
03/18/2024

We're back, baby! It's been nearly 3 months since we posted an episode. Thanks for hanging in there for us! After Christmas, Brodie celebrated his 11th birthday and life has been chock full of soccer, theater, school projects, family events, drum lessons, and more. We're reinvigorated with our SECOND SEASON of the show. We've simplified things to keep it fun, light, and exciting and we hope you enjoy it! In this episode, we tried some AMAZING sweet creole onion chips donated by one of Championchip's biggest fans. Thank you, Gigi! We're so happy to be back and we're looking forward...

#78
11/23/2023

Happy Thanksgiving! We're doubling up with episodes this week! These aren't the first stuffing flavored chips we've had. Go check out Episode #34: Trader Joe's Thanksgiving Stuffing w/ Special Guest Kaleb because it is one of the best episodes we've done! But this chip was indeed a good one, too. Shout out once again to Lisa for the bag donation! We will be back next week, Chip Champions! Enjoy the holiday and have a great week!


Episode #77: Clancy's Garlic Mashed Flavor

Episode #76: Lay's Saveur Poulet Roti
#76
10/31/2023

Thank you to The Reids for this bag of french Lay's! Saveur Poulet Roti translates in English to Roast Chicken Flavor. These reminded us of the Chicken & Thyme flavored chips we had from England (thanks to Phoebe Reid). One of us thought they smelled like a chicken salad sandwich! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, CHIP CHAMPIONS! We love you! Be safe! Eat a bag of chips!


Episode #75: Uglies Jalapeno Kettle
#75
10/23/2023

Another week, another chip! Shout out to Terri for the bag! This episode was all over the place. Not a lot of chip talk, but we had fun! These were mildly spicy but full of flavor. We can't beleive we have reached episode 75. Thank you all for the support!


Episode #74: Hal's New York Sweet Chili
10/16/2023

Hey there, Chip Champions! Welcome back to another episode. The Barrett Boys weren't big on these kettle chips, but Mama Barrett enjoyed them. In this episode, we listen to some of our "competition" review some chips! Our guy, Barry, hits a home run with his Youtube channel, "In the Chips." Brodie wants to collab with him on a future episode so maybe we'll reach out to him!As always, thanks for listening! Eat a bag of chips!


Episode #73: Utz Mike's Hot Honey w/ Guest Host Owen
#73
10/09/2023

Expired bag strikes again! Only a couple of weeks expired, so we still enjoyed these hot honey chips from Utz. More than the chips, we loved having our OG Guest Host, Owen, back in the studio. We watch an old World of Warcraft meltdown/freakout video and have a nice laugh. We're already looking forward to having Owen back! Thank you for listening, Chip Champions! We love you!


Episode #72: Lay's Wavy Funyun Chips
#72
10/05/2023

Back by popular demand! We have enjoyed, but not been blown away by, the other Lay's collabs (check out episode #36: Lay's Cheeto Flavor Chips) that we've tried. This one is no different. If you like Funyuns and you like plain Lay's potato chips, then you'll definitely like these. If you really like Funyuns, but don't like Lay's, then you should just get a bag of Funyuns. Stay tuned until the end when we read Google Reviews for the worst bag Doritos ever made! Next week we're featuring a repeat Guest Host, the Original Guest Host in fact, and we're sure...


Episode #71: Hal's New York Kettle Barbeque
#71
09/18/2023

We're back for a fun one! Thank you to Zach and Jenn, aka Zenn for the big box of chips. Brodie picked these out of a variety box and we were very pleased! High score alert! Thanks for listening, Chip Champions!


Episode #70: ABC Episode! Ruffles All Dressed, McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak, Uglies Buffalo Ranch
#70
09/11/2023

We're back with another ABC (Alex, Brodie, Caliegh) episode to celebrate big #70! We talk sports, house renovation, gym TV, and we tried 3 very unique chips. We will be back in action next week! Thank you for listening!


Episode #69: Trader Joe's Ghost Pepper Chips
#69
08/28/2023

We're happy to be back in studio for these fantastic chips from Trader Joe's! We were suprised at how much we enjoyed them. Shout out to Mama Barrett for this lattice cut ghost pepper chip from Trader Joe's! They weren't as hot as one would expect after handling the black bag with flames and peppers all over it, but they were delightfully spicy with an amazing smoky flavor. Thank you for listening, Chip Champions! Tune into Episode 70 (ABC Episode) next week!


Episode #68: Spicy Pineapple Jalapeno Doritos w/ Moses Reid
#68
08/23/2023

We tried the worst Dorito of them all with Uncle Moses! Fortunately, we had a backup snack (not a chip) in Brodie's Herr's Ghost Pepper Cheese Curls. We had a great time pressing buttons on the soundboard and talking trash with Moses. The little ones make an appearance at the end. If you started school this week, we hope you've eased back into your routine and will tune in next week! Thank you for listening! We love you, Chip Champions!


Episode #67: A Walk on Bellevue Ave with Nongshim Tako Chips
#67
08/14/2023

We went on a walk in our neighborhood and picked up some PRIME from CVS. We grabbed (and tried not to look at) a bag of Korean Tako chips from the chip closet to enjoy on this walk. Take chips are seafood-flavored and also happen to be shaped like an octopus! This chip is made with yellow Corvina fish and flour. However, we did not know this at all when eating these chips. We compared the flavor to Top Ramen seasoning. Hope you all enjoy the show! Thanks for listening. Tune in next week!


Episode #66: Craft Lowcountry Kettle Bloody Mary w/ Special Guest Mia
#66
08/09/2023

Brodie's Aunt Mia returns to the studio 1 year after her last appearance (go listen to episode #18). The chips weren't exactly the focus of this episode because we wanted to know all about Mia's recent Post Malone concert and her plans to see Lil Uzi Vert in the fall. Mia happened to love these chips and didn't leave much for Mama Barrett at the end. We stayed up late catching up with Mia and we're hoping to get her back in here very soon! Thank you for listening! Spread the word about Championchip, please! We love you bye!


Episode #65: Plantain Crunchy Crisps w/ Special Guest Kevin
#65
07/31/2023

We have Brodie's cousin, Kevin, back in studio! Always a good time with this guy is around. Shout out to GiGi for the plantain chips! This episode was very fun! Louis crashes the party at the end but gave us plenty of laughs. Stay tuned for another Barrett family guest next week! Thank you for listening!


Episode #64: Takis Fuego Waves w/ Special Guests Holly & Owen
#64
07/25/2023

After donating dozens of chips to the show over the past year, Holly makes her Championchip debut! Brodie hosts all alone for the first time and Owen comes along for the ride. Owen loved them despite the expiration date, Holly didn't like her own chip submission (Mama Barrett forced these upon her), and Brodie was somewhere between the two. As always, thanks for listening! Tune in next week for another SPECIAL GUEST!


Episode #63: Belin Chipster L'Original
#63
07/10/2023

Thank you to Jenn & Zach for going all the way to France to get these chips for us. This was our first bag in A BOX! What an exciting little puff chip that reminded us of veggie straws and shrimp chips at the same time but with an original Pringles flavor. We are cruising through this summer heat and hope everyone is having as much fun as we are. See you next week with a special guest!


Episode #62: Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel
#62
07/03/2023

We're back with a Trader Joe's favorite! Thank you to Mama Barrett for picking these up for us! We enjoyed them, but I think we enjoyed about 20 minutes of talking about everything except chips more. We are in the summer heat, Chip Champions! We hope you are enjoying it. Thanks for listening! If you haven't already, please follow us on instagram @Championchip_Podcast.


Episode #61: Co-Op West Country Cheddar & Red Onion Chutney Crisps
#61
06/26/2023

Sending a special thank you to Holly for these amazing crisps! We've been burned by English/Scottish crisps in the past (go back and listen to the infamous prawn crisp episode), but these were a great treat! The bag looked like a charcuterie board and you can't go wrong with that, except for the time we got charcuterie flavored chips...yikes. Thank you all for listening! Throw us a follow @championchip_pocast to stay up-to-date on all things Championchip.


Episode #60: Dorito Battle - Nacho Cheese vs Cool Ranch (Owen Returns)
#60
06/21/2023

It's an ABCO (Alex, Brodie, Caleigh, Owen) episode for big #60! Sadly, it turned into a COB episode after about 5 minutes because A was feeling under the weather. But we were stoked to have Owen over again so he could redeem himself after his previous review of Cool Ranch Doritos over a year ago. We think the ratings will surprise you! Thanks for listening and keep in touch with us on instagram @championchip_podcast. We are accepting chip donations and recommendations again!


Episode #59: Trader Joe's White Truffle
#59
06/13/2023

Mama Barrett came in clutch with the Italian White Truffles & Fleur De Sea Sea Salt from Trader Joe's! We admitted that we don't really like truffles and we think it's something that people pretend to like (except truffle fries). But these chips did NOT disappoint. Some of the best we've had! Thanks for listening! ABC Episode coming your way next week. @championchip_podcast


Episode #58: Glens of Antrim Crisps - Sweet Sriracha Chilli / Gammon & Pinapple
#58
06/05/2023

We aren't positive if these chips came from England or Ireland, but we enjoyed them! The boys weren't big fans of Gammon & Pineapple, but the Sweet Sriracha Chilli were a hit! It's been a busy busy weekend for the Barretts and we're glad we could get back in studio for this one. Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC last week of school. Looking forward to another summer of fun!


Episode #57: Tangy Ketchup & Hot Mustard Doritos w/ Guest Host Owen
#57
05/22/2023

Our very first guest who happens to be Brodie's best friend, Owen, joins us in studio again to try some trending Doritos. As Mama Barrett says, the ketchup Doritos taste like your Dorito accidentally touched your burger at the cookout and the hot mustard tastes like it's from the deli. It's hard to go wrong with a Dorito! We had a great time with Owen and the boys WON their soccer game after recording this episode. Their school team remains undefeated with one game left in the season. As always, THANK YOU for listening! We'll catch you next week!


Episode #56: Taste of Game Wild Boar & Apple / Wild Duck & Plum Sauce w/ Jennifer Reid
#56
05/16/2023

Happy Mother's Day! Shout out to Papa Bill and GG for the chips from England! Jenn Jenn picked these up from them while in France a few weeks ago. These chips have seen 3 countries before being devoured in the Championchip studio. They didn't top the charts, but they were unique and interesting. We even got Zach to try them at the end!Shout out to all the Mommas out there. We love and appreciate you!Thanks for listening, Chip Champions!


Episode #55: Haitai Honey Butter
#55
05/08/2023

Brodie's hilarious cousin, Kevin, joins us for the first time in studio to enjoy some rather obscure Honey Butter chips that he claimed were "off the charts.." In fact, these chips became Kevin's favorite chips moments after he tried them. The rest of the crew liked them, but not like Kevin did! We get into some chip trivia, the boys wrestle, and we feature the "1, 2 buckle my shoe" meme. We were stoked to have Kevin over and can't wait to have him back! Shout out to Mama Barrett's BFF Holly for donating these chips to the show. We love you...


Episode #54: Fritos Honey BBQ Flavor Twists
#54
05/01/2023

Shout out and THANK YOU to Omri Reid for donating these chips to the show. Yes, they're chips, Mama Barrett. They are CORN CHIPS! When this is released, we'll have to post a an instagram poll on @championchip_podcast to settle it once and for all. These were great! We had a fun time on this one. We'll see you all next week! Thank you for listening. Eat a bag of chips!


Episode #53: Herr's Baby Back Ribs
#53
04/24/2023

Thank you to Holly for the bag! We absolutely loved these chips. Brodie is a big fan of ribs so these were a hit over here! Soccer season is under way and so is construction at the Barrett household. Check out @barretts_on_brook on instagram to see some of the progress. Fortunately, the podcast studio will be untouched during the renovations so we'll continue bringing you more episodes!Eat a bag of chips! We love you! Bye!


Episode #52: Calbee Seaweed & Salt
#52
04/11/2023

Shout out to Laura Laura for hooking us up with this big bag of seaweed flavored potato chips! We liked them! This was definitely a unique addition to the Championchip bag collection. Chip Champions, get ready to be Rick-rolled this entire episode. We agree it's a bit much. Listen until the end and you'll get to hear one of Brodie's parts in the Fox school play! Thank you for your continued support!

Episode #49: Jalapeño Ranch Ruffles
#49
03/21/2023

We're back, Chip Champions! Got some freshly expired Jalapeño Ranch Ruffles and they weren't half bad. Brodie decided that we're going to take 2 points off the top of the score for any expired chips in this episode and future episodes. We really thought we were done with all the expired bags, but alas...here we are. We have just ONE. MORE. WEEK. until big episode #50! Get ready! We're coming in hot! We love you, Chip Champs.

#48
03/13/2023

Uncle Moses joins us in studio with a bag of chips he searched far and wide for. Another hit from Rap Snacks! We all loved these. We talk about some of Brodie's not-imaginary friends and we hear from Moose Soup Lady. Bonus chip: Tapatio Flavor Doritos!

#47
03/06/2023

Aunt Phoebe provides another bag from across the pond! Since Auntie JoJo traveled to the birthplace of these chips, she joined us to taste and review them. She compared them to the real haggis dish she ate in Scotland, but you'll have to listen to the end to hear about it! Shout out to Phoebe and Jordan for their part in this episode! Happy Birthday to Grandma Jenn Jenn on 3/9! We love you!
