Why don't we voice the first R in "surprise"? (slrpnk.net)

What distinguishes it from the R is "surplus", for example? In both cases it's followed by a P and another semiglide.

Apologies if this pronunciation is regional to the Western Hemisphere, but I'm very curious regardless.

I thought it was "Urban Fervor," but to be fair, it was really hard to understand a lot of words in that episode and I could have misheard. Regardless, those two are easily the best fictional film adaptations of a Kevin Grisham novel.
