Is a facebook account required to listen?
I know this sounds weird, but I really don't want a facebook account. I don't want to spend my time on facebook.

You don’t have to sign up to FB to listen/watch.

Just click the link or enter the url before the show’s starts, and the live feed will be pinned to the top of the page.

It’s a video feed, but you won’t be watching us watch the races. We do have a fair contingent of folks who listen to our feed on their phones while they are out doing stuff, though. Just turn up the volume on your device and turn down the TV.

I love Ralph but I do appreciate a more detailed play by play call. Mike Garrison of OTB is brilliant, boys. Love the Race Companion. I listen to the archived call throughout the week. Recommended.

Make sure you guys tune into their show. They do a great job and I even got to fill in for Mike a couple weeks ago. It was fun to be on that side of the program.

Tune in an listen. It'll be worth your time for sure.

^^ This would be epic. We would have to record though. It would be pulled down then banned from the internets for life. One shot deal!

There would be so many sprocket bolt comments your head would spin.

Ill give y’all a try. I could care less if they used CAPS lol. It caught my eye. Ill listen for 1-2 heats to feel out the show. They are one of us, so I’ll support the cause by at least giving them a chance. It could be cool.

I remember Mike Garrison from the viral video after A1 last year. I'll have to check it out live, or at least do what Flatout111 does and listen to the archived version when I watch the race over.

I beg all of the weekly Jeff/Ralph complaint thread makers to please listen to these guys. Better yet, turn the sound off, make a fake microphone out of a pinecone and call the race to yourself and family.

Nah dude the complaints are great. It's our way to voice our opinions and try to make changes. If you dont like it dont click on the thread. I do agree that this is a cool idea, although I dont use facebook anymore.

So are you going to purchase a Mr. Microphone and call the race? Tape it and put it on YouTube for us.

By the way, in the almost five years I've been at Vital, after every SX a Ralph/Jeff complaint thread has been posted, but I'm sure now that you're here the changes you seek will be implemented...finally.

Oh my bad didnt mean to get your panties all bunched up. Haha 5 years on vital whoop whoop, my other account is from 2006-2007 but I dont wanna post something and put my career in jeopardy, like saying your an arrogant a-hole and why dont you read the OP, getting a mic and broadcasting is exactly what these dudes did. Thanks for the laugh.

So you take my post as me bragging about being here for five years? Haha!

I'm not sure about the arrogant part either...I mean if stating fact about the bitching threads that haven't solved anything for the five years I've seen them is being arrogant, then I guess I'm arrogant.

Why you gotta be a dick about it? That's pretty much what your post implied, Paraphrasing, "Leave us be and let us whine about Ralph and Jeff and we can maybe get some changes made." I doubt that and told you so.

My point remains that people have been crying about it for years and it has done no good. You keep trying though.

So you have multiple accounts? How many?

I still think all you guys that cry about the broadcast should get a microphone and call the race and put it up on YouTube. Let us all critique you.

Perhaps you should read the OP. He stated you DO NOT NEED Facebook before you posted, "although I dont use facebook anymore."

I'll probably give it a try tonight! Worth a shot, right?

Not that i'm against the whole Ralph/Jeff thing, it's not perfect but it's far from terrible!

My other ones connected to my fb, that is deactivated. I never used it for posting, its been years (For any moderater, only account). Harry, I burned you so hard in the previous post, and you keep coming back like a bad girlfriend. These dudes are promoting their site and all your doing is crying about people crying? No more replies from me, babye.
