A quiet Friday on https://Ready-Radio.com quickly turns into an eye-opening masterclass on everyday preparedness. John Rush and Bill Anderson kick things off with a discussion about hidden electrical hazards—those underground power lines that can shift with the ground and spark fires without warning. What simple home checks could prevent catastrophe? From inspecting your electrical panel to understanding the importance of a maintenance program, they remind listeners that being “ready” isn't only about end-of-the-world scenarios—it's about protecting your home and family from the small problems that can turn into personal disasters. Transitioning from safety to survival in the financial sense, John and Bill reveal another crisis quietly lurking in American homes: money. Could you cover a $1,000 emergency without borrowing? As they expose the harsh truth that nearly 60% of Americans couldn't, they break down the real economics behind skilled trades, small-business costs, and why labor rates are higher than many realize. From hidden expenses like insurance, fuel, and travel time to the razor-thin margins that keep small businesses afloat, this conversation drives home a powerful message—preparedness isn't just about stocking supplies; it's about financial resilience, foresight, and the ability to weather life's everyday storms.

As autumn edges closer, https://FixIt-Radio.com host John Rush and co-host Larry Younger share timely, money-saving tips for every homeowner. They begin with sprinklers, busting the myth that every system needs an expensive fall blowout. Modern irrigation clocks have seasonal settings that let you dial watering down to 85–90 percent without touching each zone, and many newer systems self-drain—making pricey blowouts unnecessary unless you're dealing with decades-old PVC lines. John explains how to read your lawn, track nighttime temperatures, and know exactly when it's truly time to shut the system off. A caller then raises a propane safety scare when a two-year-old tank suddenly leaks. John and Larry walk through safe storage practices, confirm Worthington Industries as a major U.S. manufacturer, and remind listeners why propane cylinders should never be kept inside the house. The conversation shifts to the shop, where leftover screws and flimsy cardboard boxes spark a new challenge: storage. John reveals his own system of heavy-duty “tackle box” organizers, explains the secret location of these containers at Home Depot, and shares a pro tip for using the store's app to find exact aisles and bins. From irrigation know-how to hardware hoarding, this episode delivers a toolbox full of practical advice and clever hacks that will save you money—and maybe a headache—before winter sets in.

Two young, experienced hunters vanish in Colorado's backcountry—and even their survival gear can't save them. What went wrong? John Rush and Bill Anderson recount the chilling discovery of the 25-year-olds whose bodies were found after a weeklong search. From sudden mountain weather to the “hunt mode” that lures even seasoned outdoorsmen away from safety, they unpack how a quick trip from the truck can turn fatal. Have you ever been so focused on your goal that you forgot the basics of survival? Would you recognize when it's time to turn back, even with a trophy bull elk in sight? This gripping opening of Ready Radio sets the stage for a hard look at preparation, awareness, and the thin line between adventure and tragedy. Find out more at https://ready-radio.com

John Rush and co-host Bill Anderson unpack a week of shocking headlines—church lockdowns, a school shooting in Evergreen, and a swirl of conspiracy theories—while urging listeners to focus on what they can control. They question the belief that “times have never been worse,” pointing instead to history, population growth, and today's 24/7 news cycle that magnifies every crisis.

On https://Ready-Radio.com, John Rush and Bill Anderson open the show with a timely warning—blackouts are no longer rare inconveniences, but creeping constants. From Lakewood to Denver, frustrated families and businesses endure unexplained power cuts lasting hours. The grid, already decades out of date, now buckles under the weight of electric cars, chargers, and appliances it was never designed to handle. Are new “green” mandates pushing us toward a future of rolling blackouts and throttled power inside our own homes? And if technology is racing ahead faster than infrastructure can keep up, are we building resilience—or setting ourselves up for collapse? Bill then introduces his “layering system” for preparedness, turning the spotlight to practical survival steps. What's in your Layer 1 blackout kit? Do you have a flashlight within reach, or will you scramble through drawers when the lights go out? From Harbor Freight freebies to solar yard lights that double as torches, the solutions are simple—and often dirt cheap. Could glow sticks and phone banks be the key to navigating short, one-to-two-hour outages? Or will chaos strike the moment your microwave, charger, or AC suddenly shuts down? The urgency deepens when a caller from Cheyenne adds firsthand perspective: two outages in just over a week, one stretching past five hours after lightning struck a substation. Are you prepared to call your utility when “smart meters” don't report failures? Do you have their number saved—or a radio ready to check outage maps when the grid falters? And here's the surprise twist: if the underground line running from the meter to your home fails, the repair may be your responsibility, not the power company's. When the lights go out, will you be ready—or left in the dark in more ways than one?

Https://fixit-Radio.com kicks off with John Rush and Larry Unger tackling a deceptively simple question—why do we cling to so much “stuff”? Last week's episode ignited a flood of responses: listeners emptied storage units, reclaimed garages, and even confronted habits that had followed them for decades. But here's the real challenge—are we saving memories, or just hoarding junk? From forgotten washers in the basement to boxes of memorabilia no one ever looks at, John dares you to face the truth: what are you really holding onto, and why? And even if you clear it all out, how do you stop the cycle from starting all over again? What if the keepsakes you treasure aren't worth the square footage they consume? John reveals how a simple photo can preserve a memory without the clutter and asks the tough question: is it truly valuable, or just sentimental? Every square inch of your home comes with a price tag—so why pay more to store junk than it's even worth? From scanning old papers to tossing rusty bolts and flathead screws, John lays down rules for cutting through the chaos. Could letting go of the unnecessary actually unlock more freedom than you realize? And when it comes to the endless piles of hardware, how do you know what stays and what goes? John sets the rules: only keep grade five or above, toss anything rusty, painted, or used, and stop drowning in buckets of “someday” parts you'll never need. Yet he reminds us—some things, like zip ties, are always worth saving. The question you're left with is bigger than nuts and bolts: are you in control of your stuff… or is your stuff controlling you? Want the answers? Tune in, and find out.

John Rush opens the show with guest Bill Anderson, a pastor, business owner, firearms instructor, and Krav Maga black belt who also runs a small homestead. Together, they dive into the theme of “lifestyle design”—living intentionally prepared for the unexpected. What would you do if you found yourself in an active shooter situation? Would you know how to respond, or even notice the warning signs before danger strikes? From late-night violence in Philadelphia to crowded stadiums at Broncos games, they challenge listeners to rethink everyday choices: where you park, who you're with, and whether you're truly paying attention to your surroundings. Is your safety something you're trusting others to handle—or are you ready to take responsibility for it yourself? But preparation is only half the battle—what if the unthinkable happens, and you suddenly find yourself trapped in the middle of the danger? What happens when you find yourself in the middle of an active shooter event—and escape isn't an option? John and Bill dive into the sobering reality of survival inside stadiums, stores, or restaurants, where chaos and bottlenecks can make you an easy target. Should you follow the crowd—or find cover where no one else is looking? From choosing concealment that keeps you out of sight to mapping exits others overlook, they reveal how quick thinking and situational awareness can mean the difference between life and death. And when the worst happens, are you carrying the trauma kit and skills needed to save yourself or a loved one until help arrives? Find out more at https://ready-radio.com

The show kicks off with a sunny Saturday morning on https://FixIt-Radio.com, where John Rush and Steve Horvath dive into a surprisingly emotional and practical topic—tackling the daunting task of sorting through a lifetime of belongings. From the overwhelm of inherited estates to the “four box method” of keep, donate, toss, or relocate, John shares his methodical approach to staying sane while decluttering. But this isn't just about organization—it's about making tough calls, dealing with sentimental ties, and finding the right systems to move forward. Just as the conversation gains momentum, a caller shifts gears to a unique home repair problem: a sunken basement slab and unconventional fixes involving foam, gravel, and even false floors. What's the smartest—and most cost-effective—solution when concrete fails? And could the “cheaper” option end up costing more in the long run? The conversation continues with Jerry's basement slab issue, this time exploring alternative fixes like gypcrete and self-leveling concrete. While it could be a cheaper way to smooth out uneven areas, John and Steve caution that hidden problems—like a heaved center—could make removal the smarter choice. They stress the importance of bringing in a structural engineer before spending a dime, noting that expert advice can save both money and headaches. Then the topic shifts back to decluttering, with practical tips on deciding whether to sell, donate, or toss items. Is that $20 item worth the time to list and haggle over, or is a tax deduction the better return on investment? Even sentimental keepsakes, antique furniture, and wedding china aren't immune to hard decisions when value and effort are on the line.

An ordinary day turns into a high-stakes survival lesson on https://Ready-Radio.com, where John Rush and Bill Anderson dive into what it really takes to be prepared for life's worst-case scenarios. Is the real threat the weapon—or the mindset behind it? From Walmart stabbings to active shooter events, Bill challenges the myth that “having a gun” is enough, exposing how stress, inexperience, and the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn would-be heroes into dangerous liabilities. Hear why traditional firearms training falls short, how real-life attacks unfold in seconds, and why principles—not techniques—could be the key to surviving when the unthinkable happens. Are you truly ready, or just confident enough to be dangerous?

Could your dream car be more of a financial trap than a trophy? Broadcasting live from the Rocky Mountain Car Show and Swap Meet, the https://fixitradio.com team dives deep into the world of classic cars, emotional purchases, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Expert appraiser Burke Payne joins the discussion to unpack the true value behind restomods, original paint jobs, and one-owner collectibles. They reveal how insurance companies often undervalue vehicles—sometimes by tens of thousands—and how regional pricing and vehicle history reports can drastically impact what your car is really worth. From flood-damaged cars making their way across state lines to hail-repaired vehicles hiding in plain sight, this episode is packed with eye-opening insights for collectors, drivers, and car lovers alike. Are you buying a beauty… or a bust?

Are you as prepared as you think you are? On this episode of https://ready-radio.com, host John Rush is joined by self-defense expert Bill Anderson and Army veteran Brandon Guire to dismantle the myths surrounding active shooter response and personal defense. They kick things off by exposing a dangerous illusion: owning a gun and standing at a range doesn't mean you're ready for chaos. In high-stress scenarios, even the most practiced techniques can crumble. So—what happens when adrenaline spikes, distances collapse, and you're four seconds behind the threat? Bill reveals why his training program throws out rigid techniques in favor of adaptive principles—because real life isn't a shooting stall. It's messy. It's unpredictable. And sometimes, the right move isn't pulling the trigger. With eye-opening scenarios—like clearing a house with Airsoft or trying to save a loved one under pressure—they show how even "trained" students become liabilities without the right mindset. Can you really trust your instincts under fire? Then, things get even more real. What happens when you're attacked by eight people on the street? When fists, screwdrivers, or hammers are more common than guns? Bill and Brandon walk through high-risk situations and explain why going fetal or banking on martial arts might not be the survival move you think it is. Distance, awareness, and escape become the top priorities—and sometimes, being the hero comes at the cost of your family's future. Would your wife and kids want you to go down a martyr, or make it home? As the conversation deepens, they challenge the blind faith many people put in military-style tactics and security personnel. Spoiler alert: that rent-a-guard at your church may not be the savior you think. With spiritual and physical stakes on the line, the message is clear: train yourself, trust your instincts, and put your family's safety first. Because when evil walks through the door, your best defense won't be your title—it'll be your preparation. Tune in now!
