Bill and Willie Geist Open Up About Fatherhood, "The Talk," and Their Amazing Wives

POPSUGAR: What inspired you two to finally write a book together?

Bill Geist: We realized we hadn't had any big talks on anything. We'd kind of gone through life as good friends with a great relationship but never had any of the big monumental talks that they talk about on TV advice shows and in parenting books. So we went back and started picking off these things that we hadn't done. These iconic father-son moments, we went back and had them 25 years later.

Willie Geist: I think another part of it was that a couple years ago, my dad announced that he has Parkinson's disease. We realized when he opened up to his audience that it was a bigger and more profound talk than he and I had ever had about Parkinson's.
