By: Quotes Guru | Last Updated: June 19, 2020

A suit decided long ago what it wanted to be, and it doesn’t want to hear your ideas, but a blue blazer only got around to half the job. So it leaves it up to you to find its bottoms. Gray slacks, blue jeans, patterns, white pants and different blue shades all work.”

― Willie Geist

― Willie Geist

Just the sight of that, the taste of that frosting, just reminds me of being at home with my mom and my dad and my sister and my friends.”

― Willie Geist

“I often eat Skippy’s Super Chunk peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon. I don’t shamefully sneak it in the dark of night when everyone is in bed. I just twist that cap off and go to town right out in the open.”

― Willie Geist

“An ideal day starts with putting on a good, smart, fun show where I learn something and ends with me fending off atomic knee drops from my two kids in our no-holds-barred pillow fight/steel cage matches. They are a ruthless tag team.”
