Audiobook Info:
Bill Geist--the beloved, award-winning, long-time special correspondent for "CBS: Sunday Morning," whose debut Little League Confidential was a New York Times bestseller in hardcover and paper--and Willie Geist, the Today Show host, popular member of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and author of the best-selling American Freak Show--have begun an extended conversation between father and son on areas of mutual interest, agreement, and disagreement.

Told in a unique back-and-forth banter style, the hilarious father-son team will laugh together at the shared journey of their relationship. They'll riff on fatherhood, religion, music, sports, summer camp disasters, driving lessons gone horribly wrong, being on TV, and their wonderfully odd family life. Think Big Russ and Me (May 2010, 345,829 net per bookscan) meets S*** My Dad Says, with humorous observations about professional wrestling as a worldview, raising a kid with television cameras in the kitchen, and anything and everything else that comes to their witty minds.

The Geists decided to write this book so their children and grandchildren would have a record of their unusual father-son relationship. The book is remarkably funny, as well as poignant and sincere, especially in light of Bill's announcement that he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's. With its lighthearted look at the crazy things fathers and sons go through and the unique bond those experiences forge, the book is sure to be a must-have gift for Father's Day.

My Review:
I have to say I like to wacth CBS Sunday Morning so when I got a chance to review this audiobook I took it! I think it was well worth the listen. It was enjoyable, smart, and funny. I learned alot and I think that any family would like listening to this together (mine did because we listened to it on a family vacation, while we were in the car). I know I chuckled several times at the story because several things were funny and very relatable. I think the fact that people can relate to these stories is what make this audiobook likeable.

The Narration: The narration was good. Both Bill and Willie Geist's voice were enjoyable to listen to and made for a pleasant listining experience. Another thing I like is that the stories are told by the authors themselves it makes you feel like your experiencing the event with them as well! I also like the unique back and forth banter style the audiobook was read in!

My final verdict:
Overall I would highly recommend this audiobook! I think its an enjoyable and plesant listing experience and a perfect read or listen for any dad/father figure in your life!

I would like to thank Mitch from Hachette for letting me listen to and review this audiobook!
