About JWSP

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.

   To Russia, With Hate

   Episode Summary: This week’s “Who Said It” is a message to Ukraine that is equal parts hype speech and battle cry — and once you hear who said it, you’re going to want to put it on a motivational poster immediately. Tesla drops heading into the Roadster reveal tonight — a car that requires a $50,000 commitment before they’ll even tell you the price. Elon promised excitement but not success, which is either deeply honest or deeply concerning depending on how much you just wired. SpaceX keeps s...

   The Bots Went Quiet

   This week’s “Who Said It” is about the Houthis, Iran, oil prices, and the words “NOT NICE” — and once you find out when it was written and who wrote it, the Russian diesel deal that dominates this episode is going to feel like a very specific kind of déjà vu. Tesla is flat and Elon is very concerned about Waymo hitting pets — we note what he chose not to mention about Tesla’s own track record with strollers at intersections. SpaceX dropped after a Chinese memory chip breakthrough threatened t...
