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 Man Getting Paid in Rubles

    This week's "Who Said It" is directed squarely at a very specific type of keyboard warrior, and we promise it lands perfectly given what's in the news this week.Tesla's having a week — the Cybertruck is back in recall territory for a reason that's going to make you think twice about hard cornering, and Elon posted something on X that was deleted by morning but not before the internet got a screenshot. We have thoughts on what it says about the man currently in charge of your rockets.Russia's Victory Day parade happened — sort of. No tanks, no missiles, and a flyover that turned out to be more CGI than aircraft. Both sides are already accusing each other of breaking the ceasefire, the prisoner exchange that was supposed to be the big win hasn't happened, and Putin has picked a mediator for peace talks whose resume includes being on the payroll of Russian state energy companies. We couldn't make this up.Ukraine meanwhile reached out and touched something over 900 miles away, which tells you everything you need to know about where this war actually stands heading into year five.Back home, the Federal Reserve just got a new face — confirmed by a razor thin margin with one very surprising Democratic vote that we have some feelings about. Trump made his expectations about interest rates crystal clear, and the contrast with how he's handled building renovations at home is genuinely one for the books.Iran sent a response to a White House baby announcement that is going to stop you cold. Ohio Representative Max Miller is this week's Scumbag of the Week, and the details of why he earned it are not for the faint of heart.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

    The Basement Nobody Asked For

    This week's "Who Said It" involves the ocean — or is it "see" like vision? Either way, someone very important has some very confident statistics about it, and we start there.Tesla is pushing past $400 despite a recall on 220,000 cars — and the way Tesla handles recalls versus every other automaker is actually worth a conversation. There's also a trademark filing that tells you something big is coming, if you believe in the power of paperwork over timelines.Russia's Victory Day parade is almost here and the optics are not great — no military hardware, a stunt driver rehearsing something that defies several laws of physics, and diplomats being quietly asked to leave Kyiv before things get interesting. Meanwhile, after a phone call with Putin, Pete Hegseth announced the withdrawal of thousands of US troops from Germany. Totally unrelated, we're sure.The White House ballroom saga has a new chapter — what started as a $200 million private donor project is now a $1 billion taxpayer bill hitching a ride on a border security package, and the design plans have us asking some serious questions about who exactly is supposed to get lost in the basement. Oh, and a Luxembourg steel company is providing the materials, which pairs nicely with the US Steel deal we'll explain.The Trump sons have a new business venture in the drone interceptor space — and the timeline of when they joined the board, when the Air Force signed a contract, and what company they're merging with is one of the more brazenly entertaining conflict of interest stories we've covered. And the IOC has some thoughts on Belarus that we have some thoughts about.That car coming down in Russiahttps://www.dailymail.com/news/article-13580423/Horrifying-moment-police-car-stunt-goes-horribly-wrong-Ford-Focus-balancing-two-wheels-crashes-officer-driving-skills-display-survived.html#v-1135876632945408158Got feedback?

    Apologies on the feedback, its bad

    This week's "Who Said It" is a business quote that aged in a very funny direction — once you find out who said it and what happened next, you'll understand why we opened with it.Tesla's back on the move and this time there's actually something real behind it — the first Tesla Semi rolled off the line with some genuinely impressive specs. We break down the numbers, what it could mean for the industry, and why we're cautiously optimistic with an asterisk. Then there's the SpaceX IPO filing with a clause so brazen it makes you do a double take — Elon Musk has essentially structured it so that the only person who can fire Elon Musk... is Elon Musk.On the war front, Ukraine had a very productive week before anyone started talking ceasefires — a missile ship, a patrol boat, a shadow fleet tanker, a refinery, and oh, a drone that made it six miles from the Kremlin. Then both sides announced ceasefires — on completely different dates — and we have some questions about how that's supposed to work. There's also a pointed warning to Belarus that tells you everything you need to know about how much the situation on the ground has shifted.An aid flotilla got intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters — 600 miles from Gaza — and the Jerusalem Post's headline about it is genuinely one for the ages. We read it so you don't have to.NASA's new chief wants to give Pluto its planet status back, and we have a disagreement brewing. Trump gave Zambia a deadline that made our jaws drop. And May Day is tomorrow — 750 events planned, an economic blackout underway, and we have some thoughts on whether this or another approach has been more effective lately.The Spirit CEO speech linkhttps://youtu.be/wKWJ4TIzE1o?si=VRGgBltcBFaOcKh-Got feedback?

    Chinooks Don't Recline

    This week's "Who Said It" is about a ballroom — and once you hear who said it and why, the rest of the episode starts to make a lot more sense.Elon just got a $114 billion payday courtesy of the courts, and we actually have some thoughts on this one that might surprise you. Ukraine hit the Tuapse oil refinery for the third time — Putin had some environmental concerns to share about that, which we found very rich coming from the man who flew a drone into a nuclear reactor's protective shell. Sunday was also the 40th anniversary of Chornobyl, so we revisit why that place is relevant right now in ways it really shouldn't be.A sanctioned Russian oligarch's half-billion dollar yacht just sailed through the Strait of Hormuz — the heart of the US-Iran conflict — without a hitch. Nobody's explaining how that happened, but we have a theory.Spirit Airlines is apparently on the bailout wishlist, and the history of what happens when Trump gets his hands on an airline is genuinely one of the funniest cautionary tales in American business history. We tell it in full, including the part about the Chinooks.The White House ballroom fight is back, and Lindsay Graham wants your tax dollars for "military stuff" and a teacup set. Then a very convenient security incident popped up at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that raises some eyebrows — we break down exactly what people caught on camera, including a human shield, a champagne grab, and someone who just kept taking pictures through the whole thing.We close with a thought on what to do with the Trumpers who are finally starting to have regrets — and our answer might just bring everyone back together.Got feedback?

    The Zoom Call of the Year

    This week's "Who Said It" is a blast from the past — and honestly, given everything going on right now, it hits a little different in hindsight.Tesla beat Wall Street's revenue estimate by a hair, but the CFO immediately followed that up with some news about spending that sent the stock right back down — and we explain exactly what that means for a company trying to reinvent itself in real time.Ukraine is having quite a week. A Russian oil refinery on the Black Sea has been on fire for days, oil is reportedly raining from the sky over a nearby city, and the US just quietly extended Russian oil sanctions relief — for the second time — after publicly saying it wouldn't. Meanwhile Ukraine is out here signing drone manufacturing deals on American soil, running a kill-based points system that would make a game developer blush, and pulling off what might be the greatest Zoom call in the history of warfare. We have the link and you need to see it.In domestic news, weed just got reclassified — it's a step in the right direction, but we have some thoughts on where it landed and what's still sitting next to it on the schedule. Virginia's gerrymandering vote came in razor thin, and now everyone from Lindsay Graham to DeSantis wants a piece of the action, despite some pretty loud warnings from within their own party.RFK Jr. went to Congress and introduced the country to a new kind of math. Netflix has a quiet new editorial habit that's worth paying attention to. And Hulk Hogan's documentary contains a detail about his fentanyl usage that raises some very interesting questions about how certain statistics are being calculated in Washington.We close out with a story involving a Jesus statue, an IDF soldier with a hammer, a tweet that didn't hold up to scrutiny, and an Italian battalion that quietly fixed the whole thing anyway.The Zoom call that is mentioned in the episode🇺🇦🍿 Ukrainian Special Services disrupted the recruitment on "SVO" students from the Kuban State Agrarian University. 🔥 "We will kill anyone who comes to our land" - Translation required, pretty please : r/NAFOGot feedback?

    Nothing Alarming Yet

    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.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

    Read the Room (And the Bible)

    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.Got feedback?

    Pay Us Enough To Live

    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.Got feedback?

    The Ceasefire That Wasn't

    Tesla ticks up slightly but there's a bigger supply chain story lurking underneath that the tech world hasn't fully reckoned with yet — and it connects to everything happening in the Middle East right now. Ukraine meanwhile is having a very productive week in places Russia thought were safe.JD Vance is still on his European tour and sits down for an interview that goes about as well as you'd expect — a greatest hits of revisionist history, questionable math, and some truly bold takes on what counts as foreign interference. We dig into what's actually being asked of Ukraine versus what Russia has been asked to give up, and why the ceasefire that was supposed to be a big win is starting to look a little different in the fine print.On the home front, your favorite snack brand has been quietly doing something shady for years and just got caught — and the way they're "fixing" it might actually make things worse. Speaking of things getting worse, there's some chatter out of DC about a registration process that hasn't been relevant since 1973, which raises some uncomfortable questions about how confident the people in charge really are about this whole ceasefire thing.RFK Jr. has a new venture, the Pope has some strong words for the White House, and the White House has some very surprising words right back for the Pope. We open with a quote and challenge you to guess who said it — it's a good one.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

    We Don't Have a Plan

    Tesla keeps sliding and now one of Wall Street's biggest names is throwing out a number that's going to make a lot of owners very uncomfortable. Ukraine, meanwhile, is proving it doesn't take a day off — just when Russia thought a key oil terminal was back in business, Kyiv had other plans.A bombshell report drops about a certain European leader and what he allegedly told Putin behind closed doors — and the timing of a very prominent American visitor showing up to campaign for him is something you're going to want to hear about.The war with Iran takes a turn that the Pentagon is conspicuously quiet about, involving some aircraft, a mysterious mission, and what may or may not have been a secret operation that went very sideways. And if you're wondering how military readiness is holding up — we'll talk about who just got fired, in the middle of an active war, and exactly what kind of career that person had before getting the boot.Back home, a senior FEMA official has a story to tell — and we promise it involves a Waffle House, a ditch near a church, and a very confident man who has definitely never heard of Occam's razor.We close out with a Truth Social post that raises some serious questions about whether anyone in charge has actually read the Geneva Convention — or has any plan at all.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

  11. 102

    The Art of the Fumble

    Tesla's taking another hit and the reasons behind it are raising some familiar questions. Meanwhile Russia is pulling off moves that are making a certain "blockade" look more like a suggestion than a policy — and they're apparently just getting started.On the war front, things take a wild turn when someone with a very clear agenda decides to bomb the guy in charge of peace talks. Europe is stepping up to try and fill the diplomatic vacuum, but the US seems more interested in threatening to leave NATO than actually leading — and there's a very specific law about that which someone in ill-fitting shoes seems to have forgotten to read.Israel makes a jaw-dropping legislative move this week that raises serious questions about who certain laws actually apply to and where. And closer to home, two members of the MAGA cabinet have very different but equally chaotic weeks — one involving a botched job and some missing files, the other involving a leaked photo shoot that nobody saw coming.We close out with a feel-good story from the beautiful shores of Hawaii, where someone showed up to a protest with a very bold costume choice and found out very quickly that execution matters as much as ambition.Got feedback?

    The Blockade, the Bomber, and the Gift Cards

    Tesla's back in the news and the stock is making moves — but is the reason behind the jump as solid as it sounds? This week also brings some eyebrow-raising developments on the Russia front, including a tanker that somehow sailed right through a blockade with a very casual White House response. Ukraine's drone campaign is still putting in work, and there's a grim anniversary this week that's worth remembering.The Iran conflict takes a serious turn with a major US asset destroyed in a strike — one that raises some uncomfortable questions about preparation and priorities. Speaking of priorities, we get into some recent personnel decisions at the FBI that start to make a lot more sense once you learn who those agents were investigating.On the home front, the TSA is back in the news — again — and there's a feel-good story involving a Hollywood heavyweight that somehow still manages to go sideways. We've also got some thoughts on religion, war, and the interesting gap between what's being preached at the Pentagon versus what's coming out of the Vatican.And we close out with two stories that really capture the week — one involving a state senator's chief of staff whose Snapchat habits caught up with him thanks to one very justified mother, and another update from the front lines of Russian patriotism that continues to deliver.Got feedback?

    Sanctions, Satellites, and Sharpies

Tesla's stock is on a ride, and there are some big predictions about where the company might be headed. The DOGE drama gets a new chapter as the courts weigh in on whether Elon Musk is actually running the show — or if someone else is technically in charge (wink).On the international front, Ukraine is having quite the week — turns out a small country with a lot of drones can do some serious damage. Meanwhile the US is asking Ukraine to make some pretty significant concessions, and Marco Rubio has some thoughts about that... sort of. There's also a Capitol Hill moment that'll make you do a double take involving some very notable guests.The Iran conflict takes a few unexpected turns, and when you start connecting the dots between Russia, satellites, and some missing Pentagon responses, things get interesting fast. We'll also get into what's happening with America's weapons stockpile — and what the White House has to say about it.On the home front: a surprise award, a historic election result near a very famous golf resort, a hacker group making headlines, and a budget win from the Oval Office that involves a very specific office supply.

    Pardons, Politics, and Pop Culture

    Most of us are just trying to keep our jobs while Washington chips away at the sanity meter. This week: 92,000 Americans catching the shortest month in history—February, that is—and the government’s "transparency" acts like a magic trick to hide the real numbers. Meanwhile, Florida’s got a new "reimbursement" scheme for alligator condos, and surprise—FEMA’s throwing cold water on that fire. Spoiler alert: $680 million gone faster than your paycheck after the coffee shop run. But it’s not just coastal chaos—Turkey’s not-so-secret plan to blow up ships, Ukraine turning into the world's worst game of Battleship, and Russian submarines playing "hide and seek" in the Mediterranean. Oh, and if you thought tech was safe, think again. Fox News is recycling Ukrainian drone footage like it’s the latest TikTok trend—and trying to make sense of global chaos with the clarity of a drunk sailor. And let’s not forget the government’s magic trick with military spending—dropping a billion dollars on radars that, somehow, just vanish during enemy missiles. Turns out, we're spending more on fancy military toys than on feeding kids or fixing roads—because, hey, America first means making sure the billionaires keep billion-aring. Plus, a side of political theater with secretive DHS leaders, a proposed "Supreme Leader" pick, and a troop draft hashtag that’s almost as serious as a reality show.

Spoiler: nobody’s really got a clue what’s happening, but hey, that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh at it!First up, they dive into the delightfully cringey “Epic Fury” misfire—yes, a four-letter nickname for war that sounds like an energy drink. Who’s pulling these strings? Monster-brain political maniacs? You bet. Then, we get into Tesla’s talent trouble—half a billion dollars spent trying to get robo-taxis off the ground while the CEO is busy ghosting permits. The future of self-driving cars? More like self-destruction. But wait, there’s more! Our hosts decode Ukraine’s latest drone ballet, Russia’s flamingo flying missions, and why Iran’s clandestine missile games mean bigger trouble for everyone—yes, even your gas pump. Meanwhile, Trump’s “photo-op” in the Situation Room is a reminder that some folks treat presidency like a backyard barbecue. And because this podcast is nothing if not a chaotic cocktail, we get the inside scoop on the bizarre Epstein connections with industry titans (spoiler: some billionaires are surprisingly innocent), plus a quick detour into fast food diplomacy—because no debate is complete without a Big Mac or a Big Arch.You'll discover: how world leaders are secretly cringing at their own policies, why preemptive strikes are the political version of squinting at a scrambled cable channel, and exactly why the US is paying Iran’s drone factory bills. Whether you’re a political junkie, a Tesla skeptic, or just here for the fries-and-failure humor, this episode will leave you more entertained than informed (which is probably default these days).So, if you want a front-row seat to the chaos without the risk of blinking and missing the punchline, hit play. This is the episode your conspiracy theory friends will be sharing—best served with a side of skepticism and a shot of whiskey.Got feedback? We want to hear it.

    ICE, Immigration, and the $53 Lunch Mystery

    Most politicians are like bad magicians—lots of smoke, mirrors, and not much truth. But in this episode, Alex and Eric peel back the curtain on the chaos: from Biden’s two-hour “lie-fest” to Elon Musk’s union threats, Ukraine’s high-tech hits, and the hilarious incompetence of American bureaucracy. Spoiler alert: It’s a wild ride involving fake steel graphs, $53 lunches, and a mayor caught sniffing panties — yes, you read that right. You’ll discover why the State of the Union was the political equivalent of a never-ending karaoke session, how Ukraine’s military is crushing top-tier drones, and why our immigration “crisis” is as cost-effective as Dogecoin in a casino. They break down the crazy numbers behind border patrol spending, explain why sending Marco Rubio to Israel makes about as much sense as a cat driving a Tesla, and roast a White House account run by a guy who thinks Barack Obama is a monkey. Plus, get the scoop on how fake Twitter accounts and shady politicians are turning every headline into a circus. Want to know what it really costs to keep ICE in action—$18 million a week, or enough to cover a year of free school lunches? Or why a Canadian hockey star is denying he’s secretly a Russian spy? Yeah, it’s that kind of episode. This is essential listening if you love laugh-out-loud political chaos, satirical takes on war, corruption, and the absurd lengths of government spin. Perfect for anyone tired of political sugarcoating — because these guys are just fake graphs, over-the-top satire, and a whole lot of “what the hell” wrapped into one. Note: If your brain is unshockable, this might be your new favorite escape hatch from realityThe Kat Abughazelah ad we talk about in the episode Got feedback?

They reveal how Ukraine’s sneaky cyber tricks are messing with Russian troops, why America’s military budget probably could build a Martian colony, and how the US government might be selling weapons to cartels (yes, really).You'll discover: the hilarious (and horrifying) tactics Ukraine’s using to outwit its enemies, how the “world’s largest aircraft carrier” is just a giant floating potty, and why the IOC’s logic on helmets is about as sensible as yelling “fire!” in a movie theater. Plus, get the scoop on the ongoing chaos in Mexico, the shocking truth about tariffs benefiting family businesses, and the cringe-worthy spectacle of politicians caught with their pants down—literally and figuratively. Why does any of this matter? Because if you’re waiting for politicians to save the day, you might as well wait for Punch the Monkey to run for office.

    Our Corruption Special and Where's the Beef?

    Today we are talking corruption. While there is much to choose from we focus on the one brought by tariffs and what it takes to get those tariffs removed. You might know about some of the events but the things that our fearless leader is giving up in return for lavish gifts would make a corporate raider blush with the sell off of assets. Why is the price of beef so high in America?

    We are not suicidal or clumsy enough to fall out a window

    Today we  kick off with an update on Ukraine and the AI robot that was unleashed in Moscow earlier this week. It has since been taken to the glue factory to join the people that created it I would imagine. Link to this is below. We are also talking about Israel's Unit 100, hence the preface that we are in no way shape or form suicidal. I swam to shore with my broken ankle and Eric is planning a wedding so both looking forward to the future. But as you listen to the story you can figure out why the episode title is the title. We finish off with the upcoming Epstein vote and the White House's efforts to clam that up. The update is that Pam Bondi went ahead and said they're opening up an investigation into Epstein and that move kinda kills the vote. From what I understand, an active investigation means you can't vote to release files to the public so Epstein went from a hoax to public enemy number one but he only hung out with Democrats. That's a shame too, there was some super interesting info coming out in the documents so hopefully they can find a way to get them out instead of this kangaroo court. Oh yeah a reminder, not suicidal in the slightest. Watch the robot belowhttps://youtu.be/JmqLfJkazhM?si=Cpyp-lDZGlJ5IdORGot feedback?

    Back from the hiatus, lots of catching up

    Never a dull moment with the current administration and being gone for over a week just creates a treasure trove of activity. Like the Broncos and Giants game, the President made you think things were going one way with Ukraine only to revert back to his nesting doll factory setting. Elected leaders hire staffers that display American flags with swastikas on them and then proceed to tell you that it is really tough to see the 90 degree angles of a swastika on a flag with nothing but horizontal bars. Who says magic tricks are dead. We're demolishing parts of the White House and building things are look inferior to the original landmarks in other countries where we stole the idea. Doing cheaper and less stunning knock offs is now an America thing so get lost China. Guys in France are stealing jewels during the day time and they're not in politics. One guy did not carry his weight when it came to how much you're taking out the door. Everyone's favorite brain worm survivor still hates Tylenol and the reason for your autism might be tied directly to the lack of your foreskin. "Thinking with your little head" now has proof according to RFK. Join us as we return and try to deal with what's new in the government once again. PS.
