    I don’t know which stat is weirder: in 10 seasons, Kruk only hit 100 HR but stole 58 bases.

    I really hope by steak he means just ground beef somehow. If the man is putting ranch on a filet or ribeye :awshucks:

    I’ve never done it but I have separately had steak and ranch dressing enough times to know what it would taste like and after running my mental simulation my verdict is it tastes fine but it’s not something I intend on trying again.

    someone in his inner circle shamed him about his excessive use of ranch and this is him trying to validate his love for it.

    Blue cheese, peppercorn, and horseradish sauces aren’t *that* different. I don’t think this is an offensive preference.

    I don't have a problem using ranch if that's what he likes but he also admitted to dipping his steak in ketchup which is where I draw the line. Why order a steak at all if you are just going to ruin it by using a bottom tier condiment such as ketchup?

    I could see someone seasoning a steak with a ranch dry mix packet, but probably wouldn’t be ideal.

    when i was a kid i used to dip my london broil in ranch.

    nowadays i don't dip it in anything, but i've recently found a cured egg yolk with soy sauce to be an incredible enhancer

    One of the partners at my first law firm also didn't drink, and ordered a root beer float at every client dinner.

    He was also the also the #1 ranked player in the RPGA for most of the 90s.

    I think he was perfectly capable socially, those issues notwithstanding.

    I'd put the over under at 10. Once he was getting his carpet replaced and he was convinced the workers were sabotaging him/trying to hurt him cause he said he found shards of glass in his shoes.
