Every morning on Alice 973. Today, just so you know, is Natch, national ranch day. As in ranch dressing? Yeah, I don't understand. But some people really love ranch though. What's wrong with ranch? It's the best. It's I didn't say anything's wrong with it. What, but carrying it, what do you mean carrying? Yeah, keeping ranch handy. You got to, you got to have your ranch. As opposed to bringing bedding with you everywhere you go. That's actually a pretty good point, Vinnie, your response.

2:03What's weirder? Off the top rope. Pam. Mm. I slept last night, unlike you guys. So young. That's, that's a good one. Make sure you highlight that one. 30% of people say they love ranch dressing. 35 say, oh, I get 60% say I keep ranch in my house at all times. 60%. I do. You have ranch at all times at all times at my house. And you will use that. If it's getting low, I'd go ahead and buy another bottle before I run out because you like your salads with it. I like it on my salad. I'm on record. I don't want it. I don't like the spice of it. I have no interest in ranch dressing. You like it? It's a crust. No. Oh, yeah, I don't do that. I do olive oil and a little crumbled salt. And I save all my pizza crust to rub through that at the end. You do? You're such a professional eater. Yeah. You're a pro at everything.

3:03Yeah. What is that? I'm trying my best. Yeah. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. And 16% of people say I carry my own ranch. So I know I've got it. I keep it in a purse, a bag, a backpack, in the car. Like, isn't it who wants room temperature ranch on their salad? These people, 16% of people. Yikes. 16% just carry it with them. In a purse, in a bag, in a backpack, or in the car, or in an office drawer. You know what I did that I would say is like that. I often drive home and I will get a bean and cheese burrito at the New Leaf in Half Moon Bay. Shame. And I, but I want hot sauce on that. So I have a Tabasco in the car. That's the exactly same thing. It's not the exact same thing. But it's a little teeny, but I don't think of it. Is it a little thing you put a little bit on there? It is the same. It's like a full on. It's literally the exact same thing. But it's a milk-based product. Yeah, but you like that. You can get it as individual containers, you know? Yeah, like a ranch packet.

4:04Yeah. That's how stable. You carry that thing anywhere. All right. Well, enjoy your ranch. Yeah, I'm with, I mean, I'm not, I'm not, I'm just thinking about it. I'm carrying it. Yeah, that's not for me. I wouldn't you. I guarantee you there's no ranch at my house. It just doesn't. I just realized that our text number is 8043697 and Maddie is on the show. Let's see here. 707, bedding doesn't have to be refrigerated. Carrying ranch around, ranch it as the day goes on is disturbing. You know, if you noticed, I didn't fight back. She got me real good. You know, that was that that was a solid. That was a full straight cash in the Richard again. And I have no response. 925, Fing Bob for the win. French dressing versus Vinnie's linens. I'm dead. East Bay on Odyssey. Yep. Listen on Alexa. Hey, Alexa, play Allison 97.3.

5:04Let's see here. Probably already is. Well, if it's not, it is, it is now. Yeah. Wait a minute, I guess it never might. 707, my mom used to take us T.P.ing in middle school and high school. She had a rule that we either had to go help clean up the next day or leave breakfast. We almost always left for the box of donuts. Oh, that's nice. Oh, that is nice. Yeah. It's just, it's just such a sad outcome. It's not you, no one is supposed to end up dead in a T.P. Not their, their intention is horrible. 408, try hunting on your pizza crust. Game changer. I've heard that. Well, I've actually, there's a place that leaves that. Touchy's leaves that out. Oh, yeah. They leave that out. 408, the cheesecake factory. They've got the best ranch. Oh, I have to check that out. I told you, my friend says you need to make it with buttermilk. That's the way to make your, like you, you want the best ranch. You got to make it yourself with the packet and the buttermilk. I shared that clip of that recipe right before the Super Bowl and it was very popular.

6:05Is that right? Yeah, lots of people were saving it, sending it to others. My friend was like, I don't want to eat broccoli. I don't want to eat any other way. OK. If it helps you get broccoli down. Hey, Bay Area, good morning. Coffee, please. Wake up with Sarah and Vinnie. This is the Bay Area. Every morning on Alice. 97.3.
