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.

The episode kicks off with Trump making some eyebrow-raising comments about inflation, and the hosts break down what's actually going on with the numbers. From there, Tesla gets some time in the spotlight — the stock had an interesting day, and there's some new data out of Europe about their self-driving technology that's worth talking about.
The Ukraine war hits a sobering milestone this episode. The hosts put the length of the conflict into perspective in a way that might genuinely stop you in your tracks — and then there's a significant development deep inside Russian territory that shows just how far Ukraine's reach has grown.
Back stateside, the political circus delivers as always. A high-profile congresswoman's career comes to an unceremonious end in a primary, and there's some leaked audio from a Republican leader that has people asking questions about promises made to voters. One congressman's attempt to dodge a reporter on the street goes about as well as you'd expect.
The World Cup is here, hosted on North American soil — but not everything about the lead-up has been celebratory. There are some real head-scratching decisions around who's been allowed in and who hasn't, including one story about a referee with an incredible backstory that will leave you frustrated.
The hosts also get into a creepy-crawly public health story making a comeback in the American South, a tone-deaf celebrity moment involving a real estate ad, and close things out on a genuinely feel-good sports moment that New York hasn't seen in a long, long time.
