one nine one i'm dr drew welcoming back danny bonaducci for another quiet evening of enjoyment

discussion thank you dr drew and in the room with us tonight also, as well as his lovely wife, Gretchen.

Thank you, Gretchen. Thank you for joining us. I think you were such a part of that show and such a part of who Danny is. I thought, we're going to get Gretchen here and see her perspective all this, too, because he certainly gave us last night your perspective. Yeah. Now it would be nice to get it from here. Well, you never know. you never know. You never know. But yeah, it was very colorful.

Very colorful. I tell a colorful story. You know, he is. And so how's this field of have your life on TV all the time? I'm really proud of the show because I really... Do you watch it? I have seen it. You know, we're... Because Danny won't watch it, right? No. But we are executive producing the show, so I felt like one of us needed to watch it.

Yeah. You know, we're exactly... Because Danny won't watch it, right? We won't watch it, no. But we are executive producing the show, so I felt like one of us needed to watch it. And I'm very proud of it. How about the therapy sessions where you're in there sort of really, in sort of, it's quasi-therapy anyway, it's not real... Well, he's in real-life therapy. But what he's doing is not the usual therapy therapy. therapy. You feel okay about that? Does that feel intrusive? No, I was all about it. And I wanted it to be really honest, and I tried not to edit myself at all, and say exactly what I wanted to say. Even if I knew it was going to hurt his feelings, it had to be honest. So I just tried to do that.

And you saw what happened. I mean... I, of course, on the other hand, thought this guy was a punk-ass bitch and told him so. Because he was siding with your wife? Yes, mostly. But that's the thing about being kind of crazy. You know, because I really had some kind of meltdown on them know i was just reading today that chopin would never go into a room except left foot forward

everybody's got their thing okay yeah so i went a little crazy doesn't usually include carjacking

but but i'm just saying i'm just saying i went a little crazy and had a little bit of a breakdown

but i don't feel like this this doctor was trying to serve my best interest. Do you think the cameras influenced him? I think the cameras influenced everything. Everybody says it didn't, and it's the company line is to say the cameras didn't influence anything. But that's not true. I did a thing once where I was following my treatment of a heroin addict through treatment, and the cameras helped him because he knew the camera was always wrong and it motivated him to do make some better choices.

I absolutely did not sleep with anyone I'm not married to the entire time. There were cameras there.

Rare week for you. Rare 10 weeks. Unbelievable. So and Gretchen, do you go to Al-Anon now? Do you involve some sort of therapeutic process?

I have gone and I didn't really find that it was for me. You know, I think it's a wonderful thing for some people. You still have a therapist? We haven't really been in a while. For you, not we? No, no, I don't. Because somehow this came up last night. I forget the context. we were talking about you taking care of yourself and i asked you know as gretchen because you got to grow together you know separately but together right and uh it's important that you keep up with him i mean not i don't mean just because i don't want to keep up with him just because of his motor runs i mean emotion in terms of growing forward he's grown a lot in last six months, right? Oh, I think so. I'm very proud of it.

They said that in rehab, Doc.

They said it was surprising to me because, you know, every now and again, because my moods
