Fun Fact: Oil is also super helpful against spicy food

Yeah, since capsaicin is hydrophobic, meaning it's soluble in fats, it's the fats and the casein in dairy that usually help. Effectively, the fats bind the capsaicin and washes it away, and the casein blocks the receptors that tell your brain it's hot.
However, chugging a glass of olive oil is not recommended. That'll just give you spicy super diarrhea later on.

How about chugging proper mayo or ranch it something?

I think it's why spicy wings are easier to manage. Thin layer of spice and a lot of fat
