Good Talk, Dad

In this New York Times–bestselling memoir, Bill and Willie Geist share humorous stories about their unique father-son relationship.

“Bill and Willie are the wittiest duo I know. Their stories are hilarious. Reading this book made me feel like I grew up a Geist!”-Andy Cohen, host of Bravo's Watch What Happens: Live and author of New York Times bestseller Most Talkative

“I loved this book. It’s no surprise the Geists have such broad appeal. I want them to be my dad and brother.”-Jim Gaffigan, author of New York Times bestseller Dad Is Fat

Both Bill and Willie Geist are award-winning journalists who have never been at a loss for words. So you might assume that over the years the easy flow of conversation between these two would have included the basic, mandatory father-son topics, such as sex, drinking, and career options. But you’d be wrong. Make no mistake, the Geists are a supportive and close-knit family, but somehow the discussion of important life issues just never happened—until now.

In Good Talk, Dad, Bill and Willie finally tackle the big subjects they didn’t quite get around to while Willie was growing up, telling their story through a witty, back-and-forth exchange that showcases their comedic storytelling skills while documenting a unique familial bond. As they laugh together at the shared journey of their relationship, Bill and Willie riff on fatherhood, music, sports, holidays, summer camp disasters, and the memories of a wonderful—and wonderfully odd—family life.
