00:00We're going to start with a little bit of this, because another old broad has been involved
00:11in an accident, but one of our listeners knows her and has a little more of an explanation.
00:20I'll read you the story first.
00:23There's the scene of destruction here, right inside a doctor's office.
00:30Is this vehicle.
00:30That's literally right inside.
00:33Looks like it went through like a rock wall.
00:37Yeah, it does.
00:38It does.
00:39But I believe there was a window there.
00:41Okay, so made it a little easier, huh?
00:44This woman from Bruce Township, Michigan, drove her Jeep Grand Cherokee through the outer wall and window
00:49of a podiatry office in Sterling Heights this week.
00:54The woman was entering the office of foot and ankle specialists of Southeast Michigan
00:59about 8.30 in the morning.
01:02The story says she confused the old gas and brake, which caused her Jeep to lunge forward
01:08into the building and crash right into the lobby.
01:11One of our listeners, it's her grandma.
01:15Oh, sorry.
01:17She sent us an email.
01:19She said, I have to start by saying I do have permission from my grandma to email you guys.
01:24My grandma is 71 and a spitfire.
01:28We have both listened to your show for years and we love you guys dearly.
01:33I think that's the first thing she thought of when she went through that wall.
01:36Yes.
01:36It was like, Dave and Chuck.
01:37They're going to just roast me.
01:41God damn it.
01:42God damn it.
01:44Why me?
01:47Oh, son of a bitch.
01:50She said, anyway, Dave, you're always reading articles about elderly people driving through buildings.
01:54My grandma, a listener, just did a couple of days ago, and she was listening to your show
01:59when she crashed into the building.
02:00Oh, no.
02:01Oh, my God.
02:02So she definitely was like, oh, this will make the airwaves.
02:05Uh-huh.
02:06That's it.
02:07Probably listening right now.
02:08She said, I'm emailing you because no one was hurt.
02:11My grandma's okay.
02:11She's just super embarrassed.
02:15The article said she was confused between her brake and her gas.
02:20After reading the article, she was offended.
02:22She wanted me to clear it up with you guys and let you know that's not really what happened.
02:25Oh, what happened?
02:26Her old lady's shoe fell off and got stuck on the gas pedal.
02:30Okay, well, that's better.
02:32Yeah.
02:32That can happen.
02:33Her old lady's shoe.
02:34Her old lady's shoe.
02:36And it got stuck on the gas pedal of her Jeep that has a Hemi.
02:39A Hemi?
02:40While she was trying to put it in park.
02:42Oh, that explains a lot.
02:43Yeah.
02:44I just wanted to share this with you guys because I know you like to talk about these stories,
02:48but this is a weird situation because she was listening to you guys when she did it.
02:52She knew that she had to email us because otherwise we would just roast her.
02:56Yeah.
02:57We wouldn't know.
02:57That's it.
02:58She wanted to put the real story out.
03:00Yeah.
03:00It's good that she can do that.
03:02So, funny enough, another listener is a part of this office somehow or someone they know is,
03:09and they sent us pictures of the inside.
03:11Look.
03:11Holy destruction, Grandma.
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:13Well, yeah.
03:14Look at the damage she did to this place.
03:17Yeah.
03:18She is.
03:19I'm here.
03:21Made it just in time.
03:23Oh, man.
03:23Oh, embarrassing.
03:24God damn it.
03:25Oh, I would die.
03:26Dave and Chuck.
03:28But this person said, which her granddaughter didn't reveal, she got mad because she still
03:35expected the doctor to see her.
03:36Really?
03:37And she asked the firefighters to get her cigarettes that had fallen out of her pocket.
03:41Oh.
03:42Your grandma is a firecracker.
03:45Yeah, she is.
03:46She is.
03:46She drives the car with a hand.
03:47You're not going to take my appointment?
03:49Listen, firemen, get my smokes.
03:51Doctors, look at this foot.
03:54Smokes and look at my feet.
03:57I'm going to smoke while you take a gander.
03:58Well, she probably, so obviously she's there for a foot appointment.
04:01She has feet issues.
04:02Maybe she does have special shoes.
04:05That's what it sounds like, an orthopedic shoe going wrong.
04:07Probably.
04:07Need better shoes, and you need to downgrade that Hemi.
04:09Yeah, you do.
04:11I don't think you need a Hemi in your early 70s.
04:13No.
04:14I like a comfortable shoe.
04:15Nice smoke.
04:16Good stuff.
04:17Engine ride.
04:18Good stuff.
04:19That'll be me.
04:20Yeah, that's totally me.
04:22Thankfully, you're okay.
04:24It takes a badass lady to ask the fireman to get your smoke.
04:27It really does.
04:28Oh, man.
04:30And to ask for an appointment still.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Your vehicle is inside the office.
04:35Listen, nurse bitches, get that doctor in here.
04:39Time is of the essence.
04:40I didn't drive all the way goddamn down here and right through your wall to not see a doctor.
04:44All you firemen standing around, do something.
04:47Give me my smokes.
04:48I would put a number on that if you could.
04:50I'd say $20,000, $30,000 at least.
04:51Yeah, I was going to say $25,000.
04:54Maybe even more.
04:54Insurance probably represents if the building's okay, too.
04:58You know what I mean?
04:59Oh, structurally, you're right.
05:00You plow into something.
05:02Oh, yeah, you knocked it.
05:03What have you shaken up?
05:05She knocked stones out.
05:08It is funny they were all listening to us.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Because generally, you don't think a podiatry office is where we'd be a big hit.
05:16Yeah.
05:16You know you've made it when the doctor whose office gets hit by the old lady who's listening to us that has special shoes that messed up.
05:24A lot of people out there listening somehow.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Bizarre.
05:28I don't know why.
05:30Whether she made it up about her brake gas confusion or the shoe thing, who knows?
05:37What's the deal there, James?
05:38Can we get Grandma?
05:39No, she's unavailable.
05:41Well, Grandma's probably sleeping right now.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Oh, okay.
05:43Let's just let her sleep.
05:45She seems completely surprised that we were even talking about the whole situation.
05:48Oh, okay.
05:48There was a lot of confusion on the phone just now.
05:50Yeah, let's not.
05:51Okay, let's not confuse people anymore.
05:53Oh, my God.
05:54I don't know.
05:58Who the hell is Dave and Chuck?
06:00I don't even know those a-holes.
06:03She really wasn't listening.
06:05Probably not.
06:05Who knows?
06:06I'm like, you know, sometimes you just let a story be a story.
06:09I guess.
06:09So, Florida man.
06:12I'll be right back.
