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.

This week's "Who Said It" comes straight from the world of competitive sports — and the person who said it somehow manages to make winning sound just as unhinged as losing.
Tesla and SpaceX are moving in very different directions this week, and the Wall Street reasoning behind one of those moves involves a comparison that tells you everything about how disconnected the analysis has gotten. We have thoughts, and they involve Robert Downey Jr.
Putin made a very dramatic trip to the "front lines" this week — and once you hear the production details involved, you'll understand why we put that in quotes. Trump also made some very confident promises about ending the war during a lengthy phone call with Russia, which lands a little differently when you remember what he said the timeline would be. Ukraine meanwhile is sending something new over the border that starts with a balloon and ends with a missile, and over a thousand of them are already in the air before it's even been officially named.
The Mitch McConnell situation has gone from "resting comfortably" to something considerably murkier — nobody has seen or heard from him directly in weeks, his wife left the country, and the chain of people vouching for his health is raising more eyebrows than it's lowering. We walk through the Kentucky succession laws and let you connect the dots.
The Fourth of July in DC had some uninvited guests who went to great lengths to claim they weren't who they obviously were — and the rebuttal from certain Fox News personalities raises questions about whether they've ever actually met an antifa member. The reflecting pool has a new contractor. The White House is getting a helicopter pad. And we close with a running tally of everything being built, renamed, paved over, or gold-plated while a bipartisan housing bill sits in the trash — and we're the villains in our own story.
