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" involves a plane crash, Iran, and a sitting governor — and the logic connecting all three is going to tell you everything you need to know about how accountability works in 2026.
Tesla bounced back for a reason that has more to do with how humans read numbers than anything the company actually did, and SpaceX continues its quiet slide toward a reckoning that the lockup calendar is about to force. We have a theory about meme stocks and gravity.
Ukraine has now taken out over a million square meters of warehouse space in two weeks — and we take a moment to explain why this campaign is so much more strategically brilliant than it looks on the surface. The dots connecting online military haul videos, civilian trucks, front line resupply, and one very flammable retailer tell a story that deserves the full breakdown. Firepoint's contest is still running and the prizes are getting easier to pick.
There's a Gaza deal — sort of. Hamas agreed to something, Israel hasn't publicly agreed to anything, and the structure of the arrangement will remind you of a very specific scene from Wolf of Wall Street. We'll let you place which one.
Back home, DC just got two gold horses for $5 million, a 60-year-old airport is getting a $22.5 billion glow-up, and the guy promising it won't cost taxpayers a dime has a very creative definition of "free." Doctor Oz ended a Medicare drug subsidy that affects 25 million seniors, Freedom 250 blew through $100 million and needs $10 million more, and the FBI wants to use AI to figure out who's a threat before they do anything wrong — which lands a little differently once you hear what Claude has apparently been up to.
We close with the Christian alpha gym movement, and Eric has some theories about what's really going on there that are going to stay with you.
