Hi Freddy,
love your work with Juan on helping miners out.
I find it realy entertaining whatching you both figure out whats going on and the fixes you then do to make it work.
I also admire the way you charge for your work, being very generous to the strugling miners.
All the best for the future and please keep making the shows as they are great.

Just wondering why you bleep curse words yet allow the Lord’s name to be used in vain on your show with the Merrills. We will stop watching the show all together if that’s how it’s going to continue. As a Christian (as Freddie is also) it hurts to hear His name used in such a way. We’ll watch next week and see what happened. We know that season is already filmed. So if it was allowed to continue, we will be so disappointed to not be able to watch anymore. Out Lord God is more important that a tv show.
