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" is a preview of a presidential speech — and whoever wrote that description has either never met this president or knows him better than anyone. Bonus quote involves a very specific roadkill request that got vetoed at the last minute.
Tesla just broke through the floor it wasn't supposed to break through, and the reason involves an interview with a woman named Zanny that went so badly even Greg Gutfeld had to admit it. Elon's response on Twitter was entirely predictable and entirely on brand. SpaceX keeps drifting back toward earth and the lockup clock is ticking — we'll be watching that number very closely.
Ukraine has essentially declared war on one specific Russian retailer and at this point it's personal. We're now at multiple cities, multiple warehouses, and an 8-hour ASMR fireplace video that the Ukrainian Armed Forces published as a public service. The sellers trying to get their money out are hitting a new wall, Pavel Durov just got hit with a charge that has nothing to do with what it claims to be about, and a machine gun just did something to a cruise missile that we need you to hear described out loud.
The Flamingo made a return appearance — deep inside Russia, during a work shift, with a warhead that took its time getting to the point. Russia's Navy Day celebrations went ahead as planned, which is to say they did not go ahead at all — but there was a submarine. Sort of.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner happened, Trump showed up with a hat, and the best moment of the night involved a journalism award, a birthday album, and a name that made the room go very quiet. Meanwhile the Pentagon quietly did something to its casualty numbers that somebody noticed — and the explanation they gave when caught deserves a full breakdown, because the math they're using to describe this war has gotten very creative.
P.S. The album art for this week is not AI it came from the Dept of War account and although they have since deleted it (for obvious reasons) this was posted by whoever runs the account. Real life sometimes is more hilarious than anything AI could create.
