The Monk in the Family
Monday, 2 November, 2026
“I said, ‘Mom, I want this guy to be my dad.’”We’ve had many authors on the show who have written books about their fathers, but Josie Adams co-wrote a book with her dad, Tony Shalhoub (your favorite actor from Monk, Wings, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Big Night), embodying his voice as she researched his family origin story.What started as a cookbook of family recipes inspired by their enormous annual Shalhoub family reunions in Wisconsin became so much more: We Thought They’d Never Leave: Musings on Food and Family is out now.In this episode, Josie talks with Erin and Elizabeth about her unusual adoption story - being adopted by single mom and Invasion of the Body Snatchers actress Brooke Adams, then choosing Tony to be her dad when she was three. They also discuss the enormous extended family she inherited from Tony, one of ten children, and the story of how his father came to Wisconsin as a starving eight-year-old orphan from war-torn Lebanon.The book is also filled with tips and tricks on how to keep the peace with family members you don’t agree with on politics, religion, or reality at a holiday gathering. It’s also a surprising and delicious primer on the family’s “Middle-Western” recipes, ranging from tabbouleh and fattoush salads to Wisconsin’s finest mac and cheese, and a recipe for the moistest chocolate cake you’ll ever have. The secret sauce is mayo - and it’s great! Get full access to Tell Me About Your Father at tellmeaboutyourfather.substack.com/subscribe
