    - THE EXTRA MILE: Encore Presentation of January 10, 2026. (5-9-26)

    Why does fixing your car seem so expensive, and is repair truly a better value than buying new? In this episode of https://Drive-Radio.com The Extra Mile, John Rush pulls back the curtain on the true cost of auto repair, drawing on decades of industry experience. Listeners will discover how understanding what’s behind each repair bill can help them make smarter choices about maintaining or replacing their vehicle. From oil changes that aren’t “cheap” anymore to labor rates that include more than just wrench time, John explains what actually goes into every repair bill. What are non-billable hours, and why do they matter? Why can’t a reputable shop quote you a price over the phone? And how do insurance requirements, training, certifications, and a growing technician shortage drive prices higher—often out of customers' sight? John also tackles parts quality, warranties, and why OEMs are really assemblers relying on vast supply chains. With new cars averaging around $55,000, John walks through the math of cost per mile and explains why many drivers are choosing to invest in the vehicles they already own. Is chasing the cheapest repair really a deal—or a risk? This episode challenges assumptions, explains the economics behind the shop door, and helps drivers make smarter, more confident decisions about repairs versus replacement.

    Home Security Weak Spots Burglars Look For Before Targeting Your Home. (5-9-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Saturdays from 9 am to 10 am MT. https://FixItRadio.com This episode of Fix It Radio takes a powerful and deeply practical look at one of the most overlooked aspects of homeownership—personal and home security. What hidden vulnerabilities around your home could criminals already be noticing? Are overgrown bushes, unlocked side doors, garage windows, or predictable routines quietly putting your family at risk? John Rush and Larry Unger walk through real-world stories involving porch thefts, suspicious strangers, stalking incidents, garage break-ins, and even tragic personal experiences that reinforce why homeowners can no longer afford to ignore situational awareness. The episode explores inexpensive but effective ways to harden a home mechanically before spending money on electronics—everything from securing garage doors with vise grips to reinforcing sliding doors, improving locks, and identifying blind spots around the property. The conversation also includes fascinating discussions about smart deadbolt technology, layered home security systems, personal safety while fueling vehicles, and why burglars often avoid homes with dogs. The show repeatedly stresses that true protection is not about paranoia—it’s about preparation, awareness, and slowing criminals down long enough to deter them altogether. Whether you live in a townhome, suburb, or rural acreage, today’s world requires vigilance, preparation, and practical common sense.

    AI, Social Media, and the New Age of Personal Risk. (5-8-26)

    Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Fridays from 2 pm to 3 pm MT. https://Ready-Radio.com On this episode of Ready Radio, John Rush and Bill Anderson (https://www.prep2protectco.com) tackle one of the most overlooked preparedness topics of all: personal risk assessment. In a world driven by AI, social media, convenience, and constant connectivity, are families unknowingly exposing themselves to dangers they never see coming? And if a true emergency happened tomorrow, would most people honestly be ready? The conversation moves far beyond traditional prepping. John and Bill explore how artificial intelligence can analyze personal habits, how social media posts may unintentionally reveal dangerous information about children and families, and why situational awareness has become a fading skill in modern life. They challenge listeners to examine their homes, neighborhoods, physical health, emotional resilience, and support systems through an entirely different lens. The episode also dives into practical preparedness concerns many people never think about until disaster strikes: sanitation failures, sewer backups, trash management, home security blind spots, medical vulnerabilities, transportation limitations, generators, utility disruptions, and what happens when communication systems fail. Along the way, callers contribute real-world concerns about deepfake technology, self-defense realities, and the importance of physical capability during emergencies. This episode of Ready Radio asks difficult questions most people avoid—but the answers could become critically important someday. Preparedness is no longer just about supplies. It’s about awareness, adaptability, community, and understanding the risks already hiding in plain sight.

    2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy HTRAC AWD

    Is the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid the SUV Nobody Saw Coming? What happens when a three-row SUV quietly starts outperforming expectations in all the wrong categories for its competitors? The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid may look like just another family SUV on the surface, but John Rush discovered something that completely changed their perspective behind the wheel. From luxury-level comfort and surprising fuel economy to features that feel suspiciously underpriced, there’s more going on here than most buyers realize. But is the hybrid system actually the breakthrough it appears to be… or are there trade-offs nobody talks about? Hear the full review before you decide what’s really worth your money.
