Summary 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 east flow of conversation between these two would have included all 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 supportivea nd close-knit family, but somehow the discussion of important life issues just never happened - until now.
