Can't understand a bl**dy word 90% of the announcers are screaming about otherwise!

still love most of the shows put on. Many are true time machines. My fav now is gilded age as i keep it in my thoughts simultaneously with the western frontiers depicted in 1883 and deadwood. And how our manifest destiny starting with east coast capital and
