概要

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.

  • Nothing Alarming Yet
    2026/04/21

    This week's "Who Said It" might be the most surprising one yet — and once we tell you, you're going to have some feelings about it.

    Tesla's earnings call is tomorrow and the numbers floating around don't quite line up with a company valued at over a trillion dollars. We break down what Wall Street is projecting, what Tesla itself is projecting, and why those two numbers tell very different stories.

    Ukraine has been busy — two landing craft in Crimea, a repaired pipeline with a very funny footnote, and a drone strike that hits a little too close to home for one particular piece of Russian infrastructure. Germany meanwhile is not amused after Russia published what amounts to a target list of European companies, and there's a bomb plot story coming out of Russia that conveniently involves a German woman and is very heavy on WW2 energy. We'll let you connect the dots on that one.

    The federal government has quietly launched an investigation into a string of deaths and disappearances of nuclear scientists, aerospace engineers, and national security personnel. Nobody is saying anything alarming yet. We're saying some things.

    The cabinet reshuffling continues — another secretary is out, and the details of why she's leaving paint quite a picture. We've now got a pattern forming with the departures and it's worth pointing out what these three women all have in common.

    Kash Patel is reportedly not having a great month, and his response to the story about it comes with a very round dollar figure attached. Turning Point USA tried to fill a seat at a college event and ended up with ten people and a sitting Vice President. And we close out with some thoughts on workplace deregulation that will really make you feel great about the future of mining safety and home healthcare wages.

  • Read the Room (And the Bible)
    2026/04/17

    Three "Who Said It" quotes to kick things off this week — one political, one philosophical, and one that involves a roadkill raccoon on the interstate. Good luck placing all three.

    Tesla pops nearly 8% on news that, once you actually read it, is not good news — and we break down exactly why the math doesn't add up. Plus a cautionary tale about a shoe company that discovered the magic words "AI pivot" and briefly became worth 600% more before reality showed back up.

    Russia is now publicly confirming foreign soldiers dying in Ukraine, which quietly says everything about where this war actually stands. Meanwhile Pete Hegseth held another Pentagon prayer service — and this time quoted scripture that turns out to have originated somewhere very different from the Bible. We'll let you figure out where.

    The Trump-as-healer imagery made the rounds this week, which led to an impromptu press conference with a DoorDash grandmother from Arkansas that somehow touched on Iran, the Pope, trans athletes, and the Big Beautiful Bill — all while the woman at the center of it was quietly dealing with a situation that exposes exactly what the bill doesn't cover.

    JD Vance had some theological advice for the Pope this week. We have thoughts. Sean Hannity had a follow-up question. We have more thoughts.

    Paper Mario is back in the news with a sentencing update that has the internet doing some very dark math, and a Virginia governor quietly did something to a certain tax-exempt organization that's been a long time coming.

  • Pay Us Enough To Live
    2026/04/14

    We open with a quote this week — and trust us, you're going to want to guess who said it before we tell you. Tesla gets a so-called "upgrade" that, once you read what it actually means, raises more questions than it answers — including what happens when the company's biggest bet doesn't scale.

    The Easter ceasefire came and went, and both sides have the receipts — nearly 4,000 combined violations worth. We get into what Russia's idea of "negotiations" actually looks like at the table, and why the sports world quietly rolling out the welcome mat for Russian and Belarusian athletes deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.

    The big story this week is Hungary, where something remarkable happened at the ballot box — and the details of how it happened, who made it happen, and what it could mean for Europe are genuinely worth understanding. We give you the full backstory on the man who pulled it off, the party with the interesting name, and why one very prominent American has been conspicuously silent about the whole thing.

    Closer to home, a warehouse in California went up in spectacular fashion, the internet has feelings about it, and the comparisons to a certain incarcerated menu planner are already flying. We break down the math, the motive, and why the story people are actually telling about it might be the most interesting part.

    We close out with the ladies dedication this week — you'll know it when you hear it.
