John Wayne's Surge Protector podcast is two guys discussing the world around us on a twice weekly basis. We try to look at things that we think are huge deals and sometimes those items are also flying under the radar for a lot of other media channels. Having known each other for many years some of the jokes you hear may not come off as jokes. Keep listening and you will get in the loop soon enough as well. We have a link to leave any feedback in most of the episodes so don't hesitate to reach out.

Tesla's having a week — the Cybertruck is back in recall territory for a reason that's going to make you think twice about hard cornering, and Elon posted something on X that was deleted by morning but not before the internet got a screenshot. We have thoughts on what it says about the man currently in charge of your rockets.
Russia's Victory Day parade happened — sort of. No tanks, no missiles, and a flyover that turned out to be more CGI than aircraft. Both sides are already accusing each other of breaking the ceasefire, the prisoner exchange that was supposed to be the big win hasn't happened, and Putin has picked a mediator for peace talks whose resume includes being on the payroll of Russian state energy companies. We couldn't make this up.
Ukraine meanwhile reached out and touched something over 900 miles away, which tells you everything you need to know about where this war actually stands heading into year five.
Back home, the Federal Reserve just got a new face — confirmed by a razor thin margin with one very surprising Democratic vote that we have some feelings about. Trump made his expectations about interest rates crystal clear, and the contrast with how he's handled building renovations at home is genuinely one for the books.
Iran sent a response to a White House baby announcement that is going to stop you cold. Ohio Representative Max Miller is this week's Scumbag of the Week, and the details of why he earned it are not for the faint of heart.
