Ready for a wild ride behind the scenes of TV, digital content, and some of the strangest productions out there? In this brand-new episode, Donny McGuire welcomes the legendary Rick Pizante—a director and producer who’s turned chaos into content for Apple, Red Bull, the NFL, and countless big-name clients. Buckle up as Donny and Rick swap hilarious, jaw-dropping set stories, from the secretive world of rehearsal.com and its robotic cameras, to dodging paparazzi with Paris Hilton, White House wrap parties, keeping DC’s Secret Service happy, and the time they almost became pioneers of vertical video content (move over, Quibi!).

Whether you’re a production junkie or just love hearing outrageous stories from Hollywood’s backlots, this is a can’t-miss episode! Rick and Donny dig deep into what really happens when the cameras stop rolling—awkward moments, near-misses, celebrity close encounters, military flashbacks, and those “should’ve-made-millions” ideas that were just ahead of their time.
