Cold Calling Tacoma For The Best Chicken Wings

National Chicken Wing Day is the perfect excuse to eat wings and say drink so I opened my contacts, started cold calling friends and ask one question Tacoma takes seriously. Where are the wings that never miss, and what do you order so they come out right? The answers stack up fast, and certain names keep surfacing for a reason: Flying Boots, Loose Wheel, Hans Place, The Tea House at the B&I (closed Wednesdays) Lucky Silver, LaCa Bar, Burnett’s fish sauce wings (although they’re in Renton, ppl can’t stop talking about em), and more neighborhood staples that feel like the Tac on a plate. 

We get deep into the details that actually matter if you’re chasing great chicken wings in Tacoma. Do you ask for extra crispy every time or trust the fryer? Are you team naked wings with sauce on the side, or do you want them drenched? What’s the move when you want lemon pepper but still crave buffalo, and where do you go when you want heat that’s more adrenaline than dinner? You’ll hear real ordering strategies, real Wing Wednesday habits, and honest takes on consistency. 

We also check in with Tre, owner & Wizard at Wing Wizard for the on-the-ground plan, pre-order approach, and new flavor ideas, because the food truck scene is part of what makes Tacoma and the South Sound such a good place to eat. The bigger takeaway is simple: no gatekeeping, no boneless wings and just support local bars and small kitchens, and use food to stay connected to the people around you. And we do that. 

If you’ve got a wing spot we missed, I wanna know about it. Subscribe, share this with your group chat before Wing Wednesday, and leave a review so more Tacoma folks can find the list. Where are you grabbing wings next?

SPEAKER_17 5:47

I don't know if they have a lot of glaciers out here. I think you would have to do that on a glacier. I know that there's some places on Mount Hood that you can do that high up Mount Hood in Oregon. I think it's in Timberline is the name of the resort.

SPEAKER_11 6:03

Mount Hood, dude. It's fucking famous around the PNW. Dude, do you know tomorrow is Wing Wednesday? So before I get carried away, let me just stick to one gun and then we'll go off on a rant for a second, okay?

SPEAKER_17 7:09

Yep, and Ebony, they run that place.

SPEAKER_17 7:14

Um I I I think and Ebony, she's like uh I don't I'm not sure if she's a co-owner, but she's like the GM. She's okay. She's a boss.

SPEAKER_11 7:21

I might recognize her if I see her, but shout out to her too. Okay, so we got new friends here. You know what? Are you a boots guy because you're over there right after? Well, well, sure, yeah. Well, that's in the Lincoln district. Dude, that's a Lincoln meetup spot for Lincoln OGs, dude, from like the 70s and shit.

SPEAKER_17 7:40

And and uh great karaoke night, too.

SPEAKER_11 7:45

Well, shit, dude. I mean, I I've actually seen you do karaoke there, which is a fucking treat. You actually drugged me there about three years ago, and I had no idea that you were even gonna do karaoke. Uh huh. I just thought we were gonna chill and talk and have a beer, and I didn't talk to you for like 36 minutes.

SPEAKER_17 8:01

Oh man, I tear the house down.

SPEAKER_11 8:03

Well, you did Hotel California. You do her up there.

SPEAKER_17 8:05

Oh, I never do that. I never do that one.

SPEAKER_11 8:09

Okay, so the boot fucking Eagles, man. Fucking Eagles. No, the fucking Eagles in Tacoma, though, were dope. Shout out to Riggle Boy. Oh, okay. Well, goddammit, I need to watch that show again, bro. I never cared about movies because I was balled so hard back. Number three. Are these in order, by the way? According to you, or are these in order according to you, or is this just No, no, in no particular order.

SPEAKER_17 8:34

I don't know. Number three.

SPEAKER_11 8:36

Rat in the Random Mahata Mobile.

SPEAKER_17 8:39

Oh, geez. I really like the the fish sauce wings from Locke Bar on Sixth Avenue.

SPEAKER_11 8:47

And do they have the same food on 38th? Have you been to both?

SPEAKER_17 8:50

Is it probably I haven't I haven't got the wings on 38th, but everything else I have compares very well.

SPEAKER_11 8:57

Question about when you order wings, okay? Are you one of the people that says, can you make them extra crispy? Or do you just believe fry them hard? I like them hard. I mean, so pause, but I mean, and I'm like, fuck the pause era.

SPEAKER_17 9:09

That's a long term, Andrew.

SPEAKER_11 9:11

But also, too, there's there's a few places that if you know you know that uh that do fry them hard off top without you saying shit to them. Yeah? Yeah, and I don't I forgot what those places are. I'd had to ask people to ask around.

SPEAKER_17 9:26

Well, my wife I usually just ask for it because I don't know. I because I'm I don't know off top, you know.

SPEAKER_11 9:32

Well, look, I went to Terry's recently, and I'm not trying to bash anybody because like it or not, it's not about that. I love Terry's, it's fucking amazing. I had an amazing time. It went like fucking at noon.

SPEAKER_17 9:41

Um and I'm gonna over there off uh uh Proctor.

SPEAKER_11 9:45

Off Proctor, yeah. The one thing they're owned by, you know, I mean uh they're in the same ownership group of Coles, Hanks, um West End. Fucking hey, in Parkway, but man, I tell you what, I I like the wings. I had no problem with the wings. My wife was like, I liked them too, but I didn't love them. I wish they were crispier. And as I looked back on the photos, I understood what she was saying, but I mean, it's not because I'm fucking white and I have no taste and all that shit. I mean, I like crispy wings, but these wings were great. But I guess looking back, I probably wouldn't uh you know say they're in my top five right now. And that's not talking shit right there, because again, I loved it. I love their house sauces and all that. So, anyways, and it's a good hang.

SPEAKER_17 10:22

It's it's all it's also a good hang.

SPEAKER_11 10:24

It's a good hang. The burger was amazing. The jalapeno poppers are fucking like tops, and I mean those, you know, yeah, he can be easy to fuck up, as easy as ever to make, you know what I mean? But anyways, uh, dude, that's what I'm saying. What are your top three? I mean, I don't I don't know, don't know if I have a top three, but if we're not I'm excluding like Wing Wizard, not because he's a food truck, but because he's so popular and it's so easy for me to say trade Wing Wizard, you know what I mean? Um dude, I love GoFilly. Go ahead. I I love Go Philly.

SPEAKER_17 10:55

I mean, that's pretty good. I just don't care for the sauces as much. I because I feel like everything that comes out of the fryer there tastes the same. Well, hey, they cook them well.

SPEAKER_11 11:07

Appreciate your honesty. That's what, like it or not, it's all about. We're about steering the people to the places they want to go uh and need to go. Um loose wheel, dude. I've had some great wings from Loose Wheel, man. I've had some great wings from Cooper's, bro, like no shit. Yeah. You know, and I'm starting to do a thing where I get lemon pepper wings, and then I'll get blue cheese and I'll get fucking buffalo sauce on the side. Um, and then I'll um, you know, mix those sauces. Or get like get naked wings, excuse me, get naked wings. Yeah, right on. Oh god, I mean, I just dude, naked. I I need to get some naked wings from Wing Wizard and get some Pepper Hill hot sauce and try that hot sauce. I have some bottles waiting for me at ETC from pe fr straight from Pepper Phil, and Umi's got them down there. I need to go pick them up and then dude, we need to go out and eat some wings or eat some food when you get back. When do you when are you doing that?

Yeah, I'm up here with family and my sweet, sweet son.

SPEAKER_11 14:01

Dude, that's what's uh, man, Rosie. Shout out to Rose. Yes, baby. Now I want to talk about something real quick, man, and this might be a little uplifting to hope to the people out there that might be struggling or going through some shit, but you recently have taken turnover a new leaf. Am I not am I bullshitting? Well, with regard to maybe you've stopped drinking or you've toned it down, or you went or you're not gonna be.

SPEAKER_17 14:22

Yeah, I'm you know, I uh am I struggling with sobriety or struggling with addiction in the pursuit of sobriety. And I'm kind of a little sobriety baby right now, and it's never easy. But I can do hard things, and so can anybody else.

SPEAKER_11 14:42

Yeah, especially if you try to do it.

SPEAKER_17 14:43

And I'm not I'm not uh saying that everybody's gotta do it, but we all have our own reasons for making decisions like that, and it was just time for me to do it.

SPEAKER_11 14:56

Yeah, so I mean, if I might if I may ask, how many days do you got in your belt? Oh, I don't keep track of days. See, I like that. I like that. It's kinda hard when you do that. Yes, it's e and and that's why the one day at a time thing, it goes over people's fucking heads, I feel like, that are trying to really change their lives.

SPEAKER_17 20:31

Oh, they yeah, they're uh ain't no joke.

SPEAKER_11 20:34

Yeah, and they know it too, so they don't expect people to have more than one, but that's maybe just from the people I know. Okay, man, so loose wheel on six, and that's a great spot because I definitely fuck with them fucking the long way.

SPEAKER_17 20:50

A good old classic in the hood, you know, a good old flying boot.

SPEAKER_11 20:54

Man, you know what? Someone the the uh the the person we just talked to just said flying boots too, so that's two votes. Two votes for flying boots, and for more reasons than one, also the environment. But go ahead, tell them why.

SPEAKER_17 21:07

You know, just a good classic dive bar of Tacoma, you know, you gotta be from here to nowhere that's at to be in there, it kind of feels, you know, you walk in and it's a homie spot.

SPEAKER_11 21:17

SPEAKER_17 21:20

Yeah, good beer, good food, great environment. Bartenders always lay back and chill.

SPEAKER_11 21:26

I mean, straight up veteran bartenders, too.

SPEAKER_17 21:29

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's a it's a classic spot.

SPEAKER_11 21:32

You know what? Breakfast there is underrated too, but you know, we're talking about the wings, so no doubt. The first time I went to fucking uh flying boots, man, I think it was with Rich and Desi from uh Tacoma Sunday Market, all star vintage and shit, you know?

SPEAKER_18 21:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 21:46

So, but yeah, I mean, straight up shout out to fucking them, hell yeah. Where else, bro?

SPEAKER_17 21:52

I mean, you know, I'm a Tacoma guy through and through. Best chicken. Best chicken.

SPEAKER_11 22:03

Man, I've never stepped foot in those doors, bro.

SPEAKER_17 22:06

I'm you're talking fifty years of uh deep fried chicken in there, and I mean it's not gonna be your saucy wings, but I'm talking for a good original classic wing. Hans Place takes the cake, man.

SPEAKER_11 22:22

Okay, so I've got some bottles of hot sauce from fucking Pepper Phil, Pepper Hill, you know, the I mean you've seen it online probably. And they're down at ETC right now, man, so I think that if we're gonna go one day, you know what I'm saying? I need to bring my bottles of hot sauce in my pocket and go and Hans Place is one of the spots I'll use it at.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

Oh, for sure. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_11 22:42

But uh that's a legendary spot, I've heard.

SPEAKER_17 22:46

Yeah, I'm gonna give an honorable mention also to the Beach Tavern. Shout out to the beach. No, hell yeah.

SPEAKER_11 22:54

You know what? I mean, it's it's hard to fuck up wings, man, and I'm also gonna ask you the same question I asked the person I talked to before. Um, are you the type of person that that's gonna ask for them extra crispy? Or do you just know where to go that they're already extra crispy, you don't even gotta fuck with it?

SPEAKER_17 23:10

I mean, I ain't a picky man, I'm not gonna require too much, but I'm gonna just fuck with the wings that I know that are good.

SPEAKER_11 23:18

Right. You were mentioning that spot out on uh at the B and I. Like the tea house.

SPEAKER_17 23:23

Oh yeah, the tea house.

SPEAKER_11 23:25

And I've never been there. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_17 23:29

Well man, it sounds like we're gonna have to have a riding with riz day, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_11 23:33

Yeah, riding with fucking Riz. Man, I'm telling you, man, we let's get on it, bro. Um it is fucking Tuesday, wing Wednesday Eve, National Wing Day Eve. I'm gonna drop this shit today or tomorrow. I'm I mean 100% today, like later on today. So your favorite thing about the tack, bro, what do you think makes the tack fucking just stand out and and you know, separate itself from other cities? It's easy to ask that to a question to a motherfucker that loves the tack and born and raised here, but it's diversity.

SPEAKER_17 24:01

I mean it's a little bit of anything. You go anywhere and get good, authentic food from any culture you truly want. I think that's what makes us Tacoma. And it's a small town, it's all within walking distance. If you want to get some good soul food all the way down to some good Asian food to some good Mexican food, you can find that all within a walking distance usually.

SPEAKER_11 31:08

Let's go.

SPEAKER_06 31:09

But we want to talk about the best of the best. You need to try the spot called Mango Steam.

SPEAKER_11 31:15

I've heard of it on Instagram.

SPEAKER_06 31:16

It's over in Soto. Have them booked for Enchant, the Holiday Light Show over at T-Mobile.

SPEAKER_17 31:21

Those are probably the best double fried, fried wings that I've ever had in my entire fucking life. And you can get it with like a mango, like a like an all-organic, like mango sorbet style like drink with like coconut milk. It's really good.

SPEAKER_11 31:37

Damn, so fried fucking hard. Do you are you one of the people in the world that are like, can you make them extra crispy? Or do you expect them to just make them as good as they are and then you're just gonna go with the flow?

SPEAKER_06 31:49

All depends on the day.

SPEAKER_11 31:51

Yeah, right. Or if you're if or if you're someplace where you're like, man, what the fuck are you can you please can you throw those back in, please?

SPEAKER_06 31:57

I've I've done that here in America before.

SPEAKER_01 32:00

I like to try things the way they're meant to be. Of course. It all depends on the day. Some days I want my wings extra crispy. Some days I want them extra saucy.

SPEAKER_00 32:07

Some days I'll just take them as is because I'm not even gonna breathe. You know? Man.

SPEAKER_11 32:11

I hear you, bro. I hear you. Man, one thing you miss about home, but then one thing that offsets that makes you love your choice you made from moving out of the Midwest up to or not the Midwest, but San Antonio up to the fucking tack.

SPEAKER_06 32:23

Well, speaking of wings, one thing I miss about home is Wayne's wings.

SPEAKER_11 32:27

Wayne's wings.

SPEAKER_06 32:29

Wayne's wings, number one wings in America, number one wings in the U.S. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_11 32:33

SPEAKER_06 32:42

I've been eating those since I was like five years old. Absolutely unstoppable. It's multiple locations now. Homeboy cooks them himself right there in the back kitchen. Does like a uh instead of having your normal chicken or waffles, he does a funnel cake wing, where the wing is deep fried and funnel cake batter. Toped with power sugar, whatever other syrups you'd like.

SPEAKER_11 33:05

He's got like three spots. Now there's Wayne's Wings, and then there's Wayne's Wings number two, and Wayne's Wings number three. I love how he numbers them.

SPEAKER_06 33:14

Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm gonna try to talk to him about opening up a Wayne's Wings franchise out here until we take over the city. It wouldn't even be a ding.

SPEAKER_11 33:29

Dude, right over there in Alamo Heights? Dude, that's crazy. That uh, what if that happens? It's not far-fetched idea.

SPEAKER_17 33:36

It wouldn't even be a wing, dude. It wouldn't even be a wing. It'd be a wing to take over. You know?

SPEAKER_11 33:41

Well, you heard it here for first sports fans. Um, well, shit, man. What's on the docker for you, man? We we need to get up, man. Thursday, I was fucking out.

SPEAKER_11 37:38

I mean, look, wherever you want, because you know, I know there's uh there's places that need their names brought up, so wherever you want, but especially, you know, Tacoma spot at least a couple.

SPEAKER_19 37:47

Okay, I'll give you two. So the first one is Burnett's fish sauce wings. You'll get you'll get in there, you'll get cussed out. The vibes are excellent, and the wings are worth it. I just promise you there. The second gotta give a give a huge shout out to my boy uh DG over at Lucky Silver. Um shout out ETC Daz uh for putting me on those, but those are excellent wings. Nice and crispy, perfect texture. Sauces are incredible. That's my two go-to's right now. I don't go anywhere else.

SPEAKER_11 38:16

Straight up, yeah. I mean, dude, they have a fucking wing Wednesday that's crazy, dude. Like 10 for 10 or something like that, right?

SPEAKER_19 38:22

10 for ten on Wednesdays, I believe. Uh man, and then you got DG in there cracking jokes. That's for his little uh he does a little cool little impression thing that he's really good at. Uh that's just a guy you want to look out for when you're down there. Uh a bunch of old timers, a lot of old stories about the Tacoma and Dude, Lucky Silver's in a fucking amazing bar.

SPEAKER_11 38:39

Classic. 1935 or something like that, I believe.

SPEAKER_19 38:43

Nineteen thirty-five, and the customers uh will tell you that too. I mean, there's customers that have been going there for years and years and years. So uh there's a lot of stories to go around, a lot of history there. Uh just had an awesome environment to uh you know, to to go and uh enjoy some freaking amazing wings, but also get, you know, get a little bite of Tacoma.

SPEAKER_11 39:00

Dude, you can go to that back patio as fire too. A little turf and the watch the mariners and shit.

SPEAKER_19 39:07

I'm not a kind of maybe it's age or whatever showing, but I like uh you know, I like a nice quiet, chill environment these days, and uh on Wednesdays there doesn't seem to be too many people in there, so it's kind of just a perfect treat.

SPEAKER_11 39:17

Man, no fucking doubt. Shout out to fucking DG and Lucky Silver. I also know the Black Boy Beer Club, which is the newly formed cult club of beer drinkers. Uh I'm just kidding, not but it's Umi and and and Giz and and some you know ETC extended family.

unknown 39:32

Shout out to my guy Umi, man. Tell Umi I love him, man.

SPEAKER_11 39:35

That's what hell of a guy do you think. You just told him, bro. We hey to Tacoma loves him straight up.

unknown 39:41

He he embodies the city, man.

SPEAKER_19 39:43

It's uh in in so many different ways. Well look at the town legend, man. Straight up. Her jersey's definitely going up in the raft.

SPEAKER_11 39:50

Straight the fuck up. He actually has some hot sauce bottles for me that we need to go to like somewhere that has like some, you know, get some naked, crispy ass naked wings and use the Pepper Hill hot sauce on. They're at ETC right now. I just gotta go down and pick them up.

SPEAKER_19 40:04

Well, listen, that's how I always get my wings, by the way. I get a naked extra crispy sauce on the side. That's just like a it's almost like a religious thing at this point. Well, that was the question. Sometimes they drown them too much in the wings or the wings in the sauce too much, and then you don't taste uh uh you don't get a taste, you know, the quality of the meat as well. But when you do a naked extra crispy, you know, you get you you get to adjust how much sauce you want. Do you want a little more, you want a little less, a little less, you know, the choice is yours.

SPEAKER_11 40:29

Okay, so how about this? When you're at Burnett's, do you ask or do you tell that lady to make them extra crispy or does she already know?

SPEAKER_19 40:36

Uh the problem with Burnett's is you can't tell that lady shit.

SPEAKER_11 40:38

Okay, so RP, but anywhere else though, are you one of the people that do ask them for extra crispy because you don't trust them? Or do you agree?

SPEAKER_19 40:45

Every time, extra crispy every time. Burnett's you just can't ask for anything. There's no modifications there. You just go in there, you say, hey, uh fish sauce wings, and she'll tell you shut the fuck up and sit around and wing, and you do that, and then you get your wings. They're fired.

SPEAKER_11 41:00

I do well I'll probably say right now that Burnett's is probably the most talked about wing spot I've ever been heard talk about in my whole life. 100%.

SPEAKER_19 41:09

It's bomb. It's it's the truth. It really is.

SPEAKER_11 41:13

Yep, fucking shit, bro. That's what's up, man. Are you grinding right now, probably? Or were you in Seattle? Grinding, I'm in the middle of a concrete port, so I gotta get back to it. But I appreciate the call, my brother. Hey, chicken wing man, connoisseurs. Appreciate you, bro. Paul, much fucking love. I'll talk to you soon, brother.

SPEAKER_10 43:16

SPEAKER_11 43:17

And tomorrow's tomorrow's national wing day, not just your average wing Wednesday. It's national fucking chicken wing day. So I'm calling people that I fucking know love wings and have spots in mind. Where's the fucking top three spots in Tacoma and why? For chicken wings. If you're going to take someone for wings, you know. And you can say whatever you want. Five places, six places, other places, whatever. I'll let you talk.

SPEAKER_17 43:42

Right now, right now, if it's just in my wing journey, I'm going to just right off the top. There's a couple of places, man. Dude, I know it's going to sound bad, man, but I don't mind a little Buffalo wings in my life, dude. You know what I mean? So I like their mango harmony. I still have yet to find a mango habanero, a spicy sweet combo like the way they have. Do you know Andre?

SPEAKER_11 44:07

The bartender, the light, the light skin dude that's a bartender.

SPEAKER_17 44:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The one that used to come over to uh Pizza Time all the time.

SPEAKER_11 44:15

Yeah, fuck you. Yeah, half pint, thank you. Not pizza time, half pint. Yeah.

SPEAKER_17 44:20

No, yeah, no, I knew him from there. He had a lot of good games there, had a lot of mango habanero. It's not as spicy as it used to be, but it's still it's still a favorite of mine. Um there's that one place off of ThinkFab, not kind of far down. I forgot it's a divy bar. Loose wheels. They used to have they used loose wheels. They used to have a they used to have a 50 cent uh wing, uh wing day there, and they're they they had a super spicy, their spiciest wing. It's something I still go and get every every now and again. And it's it's it's it's spicy enough to be aggressive, but not spicy enough where where you know you're angry that you try to eat it. And it's something that I I still it's it's something that still puts me to the test. Hey, you know what? Yeah. Those wings at those wings over there at uh the at Silver Silver what's the name of that thing? Yeah, Lucky Silver that they just got talked about just now by Paul.

SPEAKER_11 45:12

I just fucking hit Paul up. He was like, Lucky Silver is where I'll take people.

SPEAKER_17 45:16

Yo, Lucky Silver ain't no joke, dude.

SPEAKER_11 45:18

Dude, that hot wing at Loose Wheel. See, I got fucking white homies that are just like, man, we got there's six of us and we got six wings. And some dudes can even finish one. Of the super hot over at Loose Wheel.

SPEAKER_17 45:31

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_11 45:33

Yeah, I haven't tried those yet, man. But you know what? I fucking what's that word like which not not caliente, but it's like like these wings over at the place next to it, Antoho Grill. Man, he used this fucking like that super, like like the hottest name you that you can use, man. God damn, I forgot the fucking name, but something crazy.

SPEAKER_17 45:51

And I'm like Chingon, maybe chingon. Man, man, that's the beautiful thing about the way Mexicans use Spanish, man. They got probably got 50 different words to say the spices. I know.

SPEAKER_11 46:01

But bro, it was not spicy though. I was like, I mean, I was like kind of like looking for a fucking kick, bro, and they were like, like ghost like ghost fucking hot or whatever they need. Some shit like that.

SPEAKER_17 46:12

They got Scorpion Heat. I know loose wheel came with it. Then yeah, you're right. Like the first wing is the first wing, you'll you you'll get to a certain point. By by wing number three, I'm under the influence. And by wing six, I'm just trying to control the pain that my body's going through and the endorphins are being released. It was really like an exercise to me. And what's greatest about spiciness to people that I that love spices is just that that general adrenaline rush. So the spicy wings over at Loose Wheel always gave me that. The mango habanero can't be a place where it's still spicy enough, but you got flavor. And then the and then uh silver. I don't remember the name of the Lucky Silver. That's the plain that's the plain style, bro. That's the plain flavor they got over there. And really underrated kitchen. Really, they really take their dive food seriously and they um they they they they do it right, they give it care, they change their oil.

SPEAKER_11 47:05

Yeah, those burgers on Monday too are fucking fire.

SPEAKER_17 47:10

Yeah, that's right. It's $10 burgers on Mondays, dude. Hey, check this out, dude.

SPEAKER_11 47:14

Or do you think that you're like to the point right now where you could just fucking kick anyone's ass like in a wing-eating competition?

SPEAKER_17 47:21

Ooh, yeah, people spicy, yes. As far as uh the amount of wings I can eat, I look like I eat I can eat a bunch, but my stomach is a little small. Like when my eyes see a lot of food, my stomach kinda shrinks. Like if I wasn't thinking about being in the eating conference, I'd probably out eat.

SPEAKER_11 47:36

But do you think that happens as you get older, huh?

SPEAKER_17 47:39

Yeah, no, that's exactly what happens.

SPEAKER_11 47:41

Metabolism slows up and shit, and everything, dude.

SPEAKER_17 47:44

When I was I got a kid working for me right now, this guy's gotta be 120 pounds choking wet, thick foot, and this guy can eat like eight pounds of wings like it ain't nothing, dude. And it's that those are the guys you gotta worry about, man. Like you're only 60 pounds when you're not doing the hot dog eating contest, man. These guys are weight. You know what I mean? So a wing-eating contest, I would br I would rather, and I've got the the 12 acts right next to the raters, they're they're all about competition. And they're talking about having a wing-eating contest. I kind of we kind of talked about it, and it really is about a spicy wing-eating contest. Six wings, who can keep them down, who can last, who could last the longest. And um and we're working on something like that over there, so they should have a spicy wing eating challenge available pretty soon.

SPEAKER_11 48:31

Damn.

SPEAKER_17 48:32

That's exclusive. I didn't even know that we were gonna talk about wings on this cold call session of like. Yeah, man, like that's a chicken wing exclusive for Tacoma right there, bro.

SPEAKER_11 48:40

See, sports fans, you heard it here. Hey man, look, one thing you miss about home, but I know that this is home to you too, you know what I'm saying? Because like you have been back and forth, you know what I'm saying? Like you didn't just move up here recently. One thing you do miss about home, but then one thing that you love about Tacoma so much that you just kind of forget about that.

SPEAKER_17 48:58

Um, one thing I miss about California is the beach, man. Just being able to go see the sunset over that freaking ocean is crazy, man.

SPEAKER_11 49:05

Real ass beaches.

SPEAKER_17 49:07

Yeah, real ass sand, get your feet in the sand, ground yourself. I miss that a lot. What I love about Tacoma is dude, just being family everywhere, dude. Being eight head and how and how how much of a how much of a good feeling that is to to feel the community connected. You can be a small fish in a big pond over in LA real quick. You know, even if you have a lot of people like here, everybody kind of likes family, man. And it's something that we should appreciate more. And I know that I know that people do appreciate it, man. I appreciate you, man. Man, a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_11 49:40

Bro, you know what I I just I was just thinking about, you know, do you think life's a beach, you know, uh contrived from like a California fucking coastline or like Florida area? You know, life's a beach, you know what I mean? Like that. Then they made shirts about it and shit.

SPEAKER_17 49:54

I think it I think it fit it feels like it was more of a Florida thing because of the retirement issue, but dude, it's the same vibe. Life's a beach. There's there's guys there just like anywhere else, but you know, once you have the beach, you kind of win it. You know what I mean? So there's guys there that'll always be that'll always be just a battery, always out there at the beach, always living it because when you're that close to something that beautiful, you feel you feel like you win a life, and you kinda have, man.

SPEAKER_11 50:18

Well, it makes you wonder why people that moved to Arizona moved to there because it's hot as fuck and you're just in the desert. You got scorpions and snakes and shit. I'm kidding.

SPEAKER_17 50:28

My brother moved down there because of the retirement communities.

SPEAKER_11 50:31

Oh, my mom and yeah. They're about to move back, bro, after 17 years, but they loved it.

SPEAKER_17 50:36

Same with my brother. Same with my brother, man. If you you want it, but then you got it, and you're like, it's a little contrived. It's like living in a Starbucks.

SPEAKER_11 50:43

Yo, that's a that's fucking hilarious.

SPEAKER_17 50:46

It sounds cool, but then you get like uh Michael Buble and that same old caramel macchiato, bro. You need uh you need some depth in your life, and so I know a lot I know a lot I know I'm here for the for the long term, man. And uh I I miss my people though.

SPEAKER_11 51:00

Well man, that's what's up. Here's one more wing question for you. Are when you order wings anywhere, do you do you say, Hey, make them extra crispy? Or do you just fucking order and just trust that they're gonna do their fucking thing?

SPEAKER_17 51:11

Hell no, I say make it extra crispy. I think, yeah, I I you got to.

SPEAKER_11 51:15

Yeah, because you gotta stay Yeah, because you know you the last thing you want to do is send them back or complain, right? So tell them up front uh in the oh, we already do that. Okay, cool, thank you.

SPEAKER_17 51:24

Yo, cool. Hey, hey, and you know what's another thing? If you don't fry them, if you're if they're oven-baked, I ain't fucking with it.

SPEAKER_11 51:30

Ooh, that's insane.

SPEAKER_17 51:32

I'm not eating oven-baked wings. I'm like, oh that's cool, man. I could just make those at home. I'm trying to get a crisp.

SPEAKER_11 51:36

Yeah, exactly. What are we talking about?

SPEAKER_17 51:38

What are we talking about? You know what I'm saying? I had a boy, I had a homie come over and he goes, yo, these wings are breaded. I'm like, yo, because only for that texture. Texture to me is a lot when it comes to wings, so it doesn't have to be breaded, but you know, when I get to choose what we're buying, I'm gonna go after bread because I want it I want it crispy as well. So people people eating like a little fried chicken over there when they come to riders. Let me tell you what, we got some good wings, man. Well, that's what I was gonna say. Now that I know it's wing day tomorrow, we're probably gonna have some wings for pressure tomorrow, man. So that'll be cool.

SPEAKER_11 52:10

SPEAKER_11 52:25

Well, and those wings are great, man. You guys have like your sauces on point, all house made sauces, because you're not playing that fucking game, bro, with putting the Ken's fucking the Ken's blue cheese and not even taking it out.

That actually might have been that might have been one of the last real summers we spent together. That was might have been between uh fifth and sixth grade. You know, they split us up. I was on the other side of 12th Street, so I had to go to Jason Lee. You was on that side of 12th Street, so you got to go to Hunt.

SPEAKER_11 1:39:47

Yeah, see, you were you yeah, man, Jason Lee, my mom was like, You guys aren't going to Jason Lee. I was like, Okay.

SPEAKER_17 1:39:52

I don't I don't think it's a good thing. So did y'all win so so did y'all win the lottery then, or was that ended up being your school? Because I know that that was the year they they really started tripping about you gotta go to the school in your neighborhood. Because we we weren't supposed to go to DeLong, we were supposed to go to Franklin. Yeah, we were going to DeLong.

SPEAKER_11 1:40:06

We we lived fucking we both lived or fucking baseball toss away from Franklin. Yeah, we didn't go there.

SPEAKER_17 1:40:12

Right, right. And so and we yeah, we ended up going to DeLong and we ended up being in the same neighborhood. But by the time we got to middle school, I think they forced us to go to our neighborhood schools. Like if you didn't win the lottery, then I didn't win the lottery.

SPEAKER_11 1:40:25

Yeah, that was some bullshit. I don't know what happened I don't know how we got in. I think because Chris was already at places, so I mean, you know, he said we were in stadium districts.

SPEAKER_17 1:40:33

They wasn't doing that shit when by the time he got into middle school. And shit, he shit probably when he went to middle school, it was probably still junior high, because they changed all that shit around the time that we were getting ready to go over there. They changed it from junior high to middle school. Yeah, tackle football to flag football and shit. Yeah, all that bullshit, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:40:51

Yeah, hunting was fucking I would have been a whole different motherfucker if I went to Jason League, bro.

SPEAKER_17 1:40:55

And I would I probably would have been a whole different motherfucker when I went to hunt. Maybe not, who knows? But you know what? Thank God we are who we are, right?

SPEAKER_11 1:41:03

No, straight the fuck up, man. Straight up. Hey, real shit though, tomorrow is fucking National Chicken Wing Day, right? It ain't just Wing Wednesday, so I'm doing some corny ass shit where I'm gonna call on the fucking homies up, and I'm like, what spot would you bring if you if you had some outer towners come in that you really respected and they fucking loved wings, name like two or three places you're going for wings in the in the into in the tack and why?

SPEAKER_17 1:41:27

Okay. So there's this one spot on South Tacoma Way I just got put on to and they got pretty good wings. I think it's like off a 56 in South Tacoma Way. I don't know the name of it. It's like a little hole in the wall bar.

SPEAKER_18 1:41:37

I just had some of them the other day.

SPEAKER_11 1:42:06

Dude, I've never fucking been there.

SPEAKER_17 1:42:08

And the reason why I picked those two because it's not franchise, it's local, right? Like you can go franchise and say uh Wing Shop or Mobile Wild Wings or whatever, but yeah, those two are local and they're pretty good. And for the third one runner up, and I don't even know if they're open anymore. Uh but they were called Chronic Wings, and they're out here in Lake.
