“It received so quiet in right here,” podcaster and photographer Nathan Reeves says into his microphone as he’s wrapping up a podcast session with visitor Aleksey Reyes. If it feels just like the type of factor a personality in a horror film utters proper at the beginning turns to shit, you’re not too far off: Not one full second after the sentence leaves Reeves’ mouth, a black Chevy SUV comes smashing by the plate-glass window behind Reeves and Reyes. Fortunately, everybody concerned is okay.
Jalopnik first noticed the clip of the Chevy blasting into the podcast studio on Twitter. Reeves, who goes by “November Romeo” on YouTube and social media, posted the clip of the crash, and the instant aftermath, on YouTube final night time. (He additionally posted the complete podcast episode, which you’ll watch right here.) It’s transient, brutal, and surprisingly cinematic — the bloodthirsty Tahoe careening into the body, skidding sideways till it’s completely lined-up for a direct hit.
Reeves — whose images web site says he’s a 20-year-old primarily based in Houston, Texas — approaches the near-death expertise with virtually pathological nonchalance. The primary phrases we hear out of his mouth because the Chevy reverses from the busted-out window body are, “I feel we’re nice, I feel we received all of the audio on there.” His visitor, Reyes, is equally informal about the entire thing, pulling out his cellphone to get video of the crash scene earlier than he’s even managed to slide out from between the SUV and the desk the place he was sitting.
Clearly, this all may have gone about one million instances worse. If the Chevy was transferring just a bit bit sooner, it may need performed quite a bit worse than simply squeeze Reeves and Reyes in opposition to their podcasting desk. However even that couldn’t distract Reeves from selling his podcast: Within the remaining moments of the crash video, we watch Reeves hand his enterprise card to a Houston Police officer on the crash scene, letting the officer — and all of YouTube — know that he’ll be posting the wreck on his Instagram.
