- Let's talk about that.

(upbeat music)

- Good mythical summer.

- Welcome back to another week of good mythical summer.

And if three episodes a week is not enough for you,

fear not mystical beast because we will back

to our regular schedule of an episode everyday,

five days a week, beginning with our season 14.

Season 14.

- 14.

- Premiere on August 20th.

- But before we do that we have some pressing matters

to attend to today.

You've spent your whole life walking around

not knowing what the best chicken wing was

according to two men on the internet

who are doing everything in their power

to desperately hold on to a sliver of their youth.

- Well, today we're gonna remedy that.

It's time for we're wingin' it

to see which wing is bringin' it.

(chicken croaking)

We're gonna be tasting wings from various restaurants

while wearing blindfolds.

Each wing will be the original hot flavor.

Then we're gonna rate the wings on a scale of one to 10,

and then guess which restaurant they are from.

- Whichever wing has the highest of our combined scores

will be crowned the lord of the wings.

Whichever of us identifies the most correctly

will also be crowned the lord of the wings,

but we'll actually get a crown.

- Oh great.

- The prize is a chicken wing crown.

- Okay.

The contenders are Hooters, Buffalo Wild Winds,

Wingstop, Wing Street, which is AKA Pizza Hut,

Domino's and KFC.

Not all KFC's sell bone in wings,

but we found one that did.

- Let's get some wings.

- [Both] Round one.

- As you can see we can't.

- And all our wings will be brought to us

on our very own patent pending Bling Wing.

- Now before we bring it in I consider you more

of a wing aficionado.

I think you have an advantage here.

- Ah, I love wings.

- And I'm interested which one comes our on top.

Do you have a predictions?

- I think that Wingstop is my favorite wing.

That's what I would just say if you asked me.

- Buffalo Wild Wings has a lot of flavors,

so I'm assuming that their original is very good.

Right.

The hot wing.

- Yeah, but it's so many distractions there.

You don't know.

- That's true.

That's true.

You mean with the screens, sports.

- No, but so many different flavors.

Wingstop just has like--

- Two.

- Five or six or something like that.

- All right, bring in the first one.

- Oh gosh, a lot of pressure on me today.

- I'm gonna get the hot lips.

Oh feather, wow.

- I got a whole bone in my mouth.

- Oh really, you ripped the whole thing out of the clip.

- No, just a bone.

- Oh nasty.

- I just spit a bone and it hit one of my bones.

- As long as you don't--

- My finger bone.

- Don't hit it towards me.

- Oh, this is soft.

- We got a nice spicy flavor, not too overpowering.

- I'm not a huge fan of this one.

- You think.

Why?

- It doesn't have um.

There's not a lot of crispiness.

I think that--

- It's a little soggy.

- It's got a little bit of a sogginess.

Now that could be just because they've been out for a while.

I don't know.

But not a huge--

- There's a sweetness in the spicy sauce.

- And a sweetness that I don't particularly like.

I'm gonna give this one a four

'cause I think there's a lot of room for improvement.

- Yeah, I would agree with that.

I'm gonna also go with a four.

- [Woman] You ready to guess?

- What is it?

- I got a guess.

- [Woman] Three, two, one.

- Wing Street. - Domino's.

Okay, you think Wing Street.

See, I think Domino's because the sogginess--

- It could be Domino's.

- It was like one of those wrapped in foil

and delivered with a pizza kind of a vibe.

- Well Wing Street is from Pizza Hut,

so that would also be the case.

- Okay.

- So, I think that's definitely Domino's or Wing Street,

and I'm not 100% sure.

(chicken croaking) (upbeat music)

- [Narrator] Round two.

- I've never had a KFC wing.

- Well, you will this morning.

Bring it in.

Oh, there it is.

Okay.

Bigger wing.

Oh my goodness.

(laughing)

What is happening?

What is happening?

There it goes.

- Huh.

- I think I ate a string attached to a wing.

- That wing it--

- Meaty.

- Genetically modified.

- I can taste a bigger wing, more meaty.

It's more fried.

- That is a good wing.

- Really good wing.

- I don't think it's perfect wing.

- You said genetically modified,

but I think the chicken itself and the fried part

taste better than the previous wing by a long shot.

- It's like the chicken had been working out.

- But the sauce itself was the little underwhelming.

- A little weak.

- It was quite mild.

- Hmm, man.

At first I'm gonna give this one a six

because it's a step up from what we tasted,

but it's not a perfect wing.

- Yeah I mean, I really like it.

You know what I'm in total agreement.

A six.

Two notches up from the previous.

I'm ready to guess.

- [Woman] Three, two one.

- Buffalo Wild Wings. - Windstop.

Okay, so we're both thinking higher end wing chain

dedicated to a good wing.

- I thought that I would like it more

if it was from Wingstop.

Again, not all these are the same,

so I don't know.

I think that one of us have gotten both of these right,

and the other has gotten both of them wrong,

and I don't know who's who at this point.

- There's other options.

- Another time.

(laughing)

(chicken croaking) (upbeat music)

- [Both] Round three.

- Sink out teeth into another wing.

- There's something dangling on there.

I believe we got a little dangle.

- Oh yeah.

- I think I can control it better like this.

- First of all, I'm just smelling this one.

It smells totally different.

- Oh, way different.

- More breading.

- Uh-huh.

I think I pulled some of it with it.

Is it illegal to touch it?

- You cannot touch it.

It's a tangier sauce, wouldn't you say?

But not a hotter sauce.

It's funny because the first one

still has the hottest spice.

- I feel like I have a memory of this wing,

but it's a wind I haven't had in a long time.

There's more breading on it.

I think I might know where it is,

and I used to love this.

But my taste have changed.

- Well, you're talking about Hooters.

Let's just be real here.

(laughing)

- I don't think it's a great wing.

- You like to hula hoop on your time at home.

- Yeah, yeah.

I think that a lot of people who think

that they want more bread on their wings are wrong.

The more you get into the purity of the chicken,

the better, and the breading is just clouding

the whole story.

So, I'm gonna give this one a five.

I do think it's better than the first one,

but just a five.

- Again, I 100% agree with the rating.

We're in lock step there.

I'm also giving it a five.

And I would've guessed a fast food delivery wing,

like a pizza place, but it's too small.

So, I'm left thinking the exact same thing.

Let's vote.

- [Woman] Three, two, one.

- KFC. - Hooters.

Oh, you tricked me.

(laughing)

- Well, because.

- No, it is Hooters.

- It could've been Hooters.

- It is Hooters.

- Because it's so bready,

but I just figured that KFC also does a bready thing.

- I know I haven't been there since high school,

and it was a very awkward experience,

but I do remember it pristinely.

(upbeat music) (chicken croaking)

- [Both] Round four.

- All that stuff you said about Hooters

you were just bating me to vote for Hooters.

- No, because it could've.

It might have just as easily been Hooters.

- Well, then you would've voted for Hooters.

- But at the last minute I was like the sauce

taste a little bit different

than what I remember from Hooters.

- Bring in the next one.

Flutter, flutter, flutter wing.

Oh, I was about to say this is more of a barbecuey sauce,

but then it oh, it got hotter.

- Well, it's real spicy.

- Definitely the spiciest one we've tasted.

- Again, there's breading there.

- There is breading.

- There's breading, and where there's breading

there's a breader, and where there's a breader--

- There is what?

- I don't know.

- 'Cause are you're saying that Wingstop

doesn't bread their wings?

- It is if any breading super light breading,

but I think it's no breading.

I think it's just a wing skin.

It's just wing with skin on it just thrown into the fryer,

and then drizzled with sauce I think.

- Okay.

Boy, that's a really good wing.

I'm starting to feel some heat rising at the top of my head.

- Yeah, I'm going with a--

- It makes it harder to experience the chicken itself,

but the sauce is really good.

I'm gonna give this one a six.

- Um.

I was gonna say six as well,

but I don't want to say the same number.

But I can't go all the way to seven

because again the breading goes

against my philosophy of wings.

I guess I'll disagree with you as a six.

- Ready to vote?

- Yeah.

- [Woman] Three, two, one.

- Hooters.

- Wind Street, Pizza Hut.
