Go For Donny!

Episode Title: Go for Donny! with Rupert Smith & Dan de Castro
In this exhilarating episode of Go for Donny! Host Donny McGuire sits down with special guests Rupert Smith and Dan de Castro to relive some of their wildest and most memorable moments from their time working on Top Gear USA and other thrilling projects.
Get ready to laugh out loud as they recount the infamous rental car incident, which involved a daring stunt with a bouncy castle that didn't go quite as planned, and the ensuing arguments that set the stage for some unforgettable behind-the-scenes drama.
The trio dives into tales of dusty drives in an old suburban, complete with the comical "vacuum effect" of dust rolling in through the open windows. They also share anecdotes about wearing ridiculous costumes like SPF 1000, a bright red jacket, and even a ghillie suit during shoots and private airfield exploits.
Listeners will hear about the camaraderie and chaos that defined their work, including a gravity-defying off-roading adventure through Utah's national parks and a challenging yet visually stunning shoot with the 101st Airborne Division, complete with military equipment and drones.
From wild weekends in Colorado that started with chance meetings on planes to partying in Death Valley and crashing weddings, Donny, Rupert, and Dan revisit the nights of heavy drinking followed by grueling work the next day, epitomized by Tanner’s backward car descent down a mountain while hungover.
The podcast wraps up with tales of survival and quick thinking during their Iceland excursions, narrowly avoiding disaster on a volcano, resourcefully fixing broken axles, and experiencing the awe-inspiring northern lights. Not to mention, a wild night in the desert filled with booze and unexpected nude escapades.
Often veering into the ridiculous but always grounded in genuine friendship and shared experiences, this episode is a delightful mix of humor, nostalgia, and untamed adventures. Tune in, laugh, and get a real taste of the behind-the-scenes antics that made their past projects both challenging and exhilarating.
