Chappy and Hyrum break down this list from Fox Sports ranking the Top 10 quarterbacks of all-time. Is there anyone missing from this list? Are some of these up too high? How do you evaluate across generations? How do you evaluate longevity vs. peak? Overall, I think we can all agree Tom Brady is No. 1. But, who is No. 2?

Baseball is in Chappy and Hyrum's blood. After thinking through any number of top lists of 2025, they settled on a top 10 MLB moments of the year.

A lot of personal preference will exist in any discussion about the top Christmas songs of all-time. Here's ours. We only used a snippet of each song for "news value." Plus, we had a fun little old-time radio sketch. Original list: https://www.goldderby.com/gallery/top-30-greatest-christmas-songs-ever-ranked-from-worst-to-best/andy-williams/

Merry Christmas! Time to watch all our favorite Christmas movies. And, of course, debate which are the best. Also, we know the argument about Die Hard not being a Christmas movie. But is it possible that It's a Wonderful Life is also not really a Christmas movie? Chantelle Potter joins as a guest for this special episode. Here's the list we went off: https://collinstreet.com/blogs/holidays/top-10-...

This week on Good Take, Bad Take , we dig into two Thanksgiving food rankings: lists you may not have seen, but definitely have opinions about. We sure do! Per the usual, Chappy and Hyrum share their thoughts. But, this week there is a special guest: Mrs. Chappy!!! From elite sides to overrated staples, we call out the good picks, roast the questionable ones, and deliver our final verdict on each...

The MVP voting is in. While Cal Raleigh won Player of the Year and American League Player of the Year in the Players Choice Awards, the MVP went to Aaron Judge. Chappy and Hyrum talk about that as a lead in to: where does Cal Raleigh rank among all-time great Seattle Mariners seasons? Here's the original article: https://sodomojo.com/ranking-cal-raleigh-s-2025-among-the-5-greatest-mariners-seasons...

Our friend Joe Leydon brings us this ranking of Spider-Man movies, from worst to best. Chappy and Hyrum have some pretty strong feelings about the list. Original list: https://variety.com/lists/spider-man-movies-ranking/

Back in Episode 007, Chappy and Lupinacci ranked Halloween candy: https://gtbt.captivate.fm/episode/007-ranking-halloween-candy/ NOW, we're back one more time with another ranking of Halloween candy. Interestingly enough, both of the lists we used called themselves the "definitive" ranking. Riiiiiight. Here's this one that Chappy and Hyrum break down: https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/best-...

Our friend Drew Taylor ranks every Batman movie. We had some issues with this one, some of which came down to the methodology, or lack thereof, that was used for ranking. Here's the list: https://www.thewrap.com/best-batman-movies-ranked/.

Our friend Rory Mellon undertakes the task of ranking the 10 greatest movies of the past decade (2015-2025). He said it was the longest he's every deliberated over each movie's placement. There were some we would have liked to see but we also based our opinion of his opinion on the methodology presented. Overall, was Rory's list a good take or bad take?

Chappy brings in newcomer Isaac Donovan to break down a list of Cheetos flavors. In a first of its kind, the tandem eats the snacks while they're talking about it. Rather than have it gross you out, we'll just call it ASMR :). Source: https://www.eatthis.com/every-cheetos-flavor-taste-test/.

Chappy, Johnny Lupinacci, and Thomas Arend talk about sports drinks with the caveat that the list is broken down by health benefits not necessarily based on tastes. But they do all mention their personal favorites. Source: https://www.insidehook.com/food/healthiest-sports-drinks-ranked-by-nutritionist

Chappy's 17-year-old son Hyrum is a Radiohead superfan so it only made sense to have him join an episode of Good Take, Bad Take, in this case, a ranking of Radiohead albums. Source: https://generationmixtape.com/2023/11/16/radiohead-albums-ranked/

Chappy and Thomas talk about a list made by Bat Digest of Chinook Seeds. Yes, they mention which is their favorite, and potentially second favorite, but it's a pretty soft list. There are a few flavors they don't even mention. It was the right chat to have at the right time since: a) it's baseball season now, and; b) we love seeds!

A special opportunity for Chappy to join his niece Kenna, who has listened to every episode of Good Take Bad Take since its inception. Kenna likes Taylor Swift so the uncle-niece combo break down the top 10 Taylor Swift songs, most of which Kenna doesn't actually know. NOTE: Chappy's was on a weird back-up mic and his audio wasn't great. But it was a short episode and by the time you throw your ha...

Chappy and special guest Lori Maricle, whom he introduced to the TV show The West Wing , break down a list about the likeability of the show's main characters. It's a good discussion. In the end, both felt like there's so much subjectivity to liking characters. The biggest issue was based in definitions and lack of clarity on the order presented.

Ho! Ho! Ho! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 'Tis the season... The turkey and stuffing are gone and it's time to decorate, get cozy, and celebrate the time-honored tradition of Christmas movies. But what's what? Which ones are good and which are not? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Chappy and 'Nacci break down a ranking of the top 20 Christmas movies. Not a bad list... a few out of place. Sourc...

The 90s and early 2000s is widely regarded as the golden age of rom-coms, though they weren't called that at the time... "chick flicks" anyone? One of the biggest names in rom-coms was Meg Ryan. She's out with a new rom-com called What Happens Later , though she says it's not really a rom-com. Chappy, with returning guest Chantelle, along with producer/engineer B-G, discuss w...

Chappy and 'Nacci have been packing on the pounds as they try every burrito shop they can in preparation for this one. Is Qdoba or Chipotle better? Or perhaps Moe's Southwest Grill? What about the more regional options? Costa Vida vs. Cafe Rio? The tubby tandem breaks down a list by Brianna Ruback and notices one of the burrito shops on the list probably doesn't belong with the others...

OK, so Halloween is now over... we've got piles of candy. All of it is going to give dentists are little added excitement, obviously. But not all candy is created equal. But what's the good stuff and what sucks? Chappy and B-G break down the list and go toes with rankings creator Felicia Lalomia (we actually like Felicia's stuff on Delish... she's on X at @falalomia). Source: https...

It's that time of year again: brisk fall weather (but not in Orlando), leaves are changing, and little goblins are out walking the streets trusting strangers to give them candy... not OK most nights of the year, but Halloween? Game on! Chappy and 'Nacci talk about their Halloween memories and traditions, then break down a list of top Halloween movies of all-time as found on Entertainment T...
