Episode #14 - Harry O'Reilly (Actor, Writer, Producer)

In this heartfelt episode of The Pie Guy Podcast, host Matt Walker catches up with his cousin's cousin, Brooklyn native Harry O'Reilly—a veteran actor, director, and writer with over 30 years in Hollywood. From his breakout as Pvt. Michael Duffy in the gritty Vietnam War drama Hamburger Hill (1987) to dishing witty banter as Wes McGregor in the Gen-X rom-com Reality Bites (1994), Harry's career highlights include channeling deadpan frustration as Steven's boss opposite Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy (1996) and suiting up as Special Agent Dansk in the ensemble heist flick Tower Heist (2011). The two dive into Harry's athletic roots—playing football for the Brooklyn Mariners, boxing, and hooping alongside future NBA legend Chris Mullin—before unpacking his bold pivot from college football scholarship to drama department, studying under legends like Geraldine Page, and landing early gigs without an agent. Expect raw stories of near-misses (like turning down Friends and a callback with Robert Redford for A River Runs Through It), the grind of auditions versus live theater, and hard-won lessons on connecting emotionally to roles over rote memorization. As a devoted dad of three who's stepped back to support his kids (including a budding filmmaker son), Harry reflects on powering down the "hamster wheel" of acting, New York vs. LA vibes, and why residuals from '90s TV beats Broadway pay. Nostalgic, scrappy, and packed with Gen-X grit, this family-fueled chat—touching on everything from The Godfather to Succession—is a reminder that the best stories come from lived truth. Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and that unmistakable Brooklyn heart.

Episode #12 - Carl Smith (Community Builder and Philosophical Futurist)

Join host Matt Walker on The Pie Guy Podcast for a nostalgic and freewheeling conversation with his longtime friend Carl Smith, founder of The Bureau of Digital in Jacksonville, FL. What begins as a plan to talk football takes a delightful detour into the world of music, creativity, and community. Carl, a passionate community builder and philosophical futurist, shares stories from his musical past—from his first Black Sabbath concert at age 12 to his deep love for Prince, the Eagles, Van Halen, and more. Matt and Carl dive into the raw energy of 80s rock, the genius of unfiltered artists like Eddie Van Halen and Dave Grohl, and the collaborative spirit of bands like the Traveling Wilburys. They lament the loss of authentic connection in modern music and celebrate the joy of creating without constraints, drawing parallels to Carl’s work with The Bureau—a vibrant 1,400-member collective where digital agency leaders share ideas, solve problems, and grow together. From tales of Prince’s boundary-pushing artistry to the communal power of a hackathon, this episode is a heartfelt ode to creativity and connection. Tune in for a fun, music-filled chat that captures the eclectic spirit of The Pie Guy Podcast!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
