Track Star's AJ Subat, the relentless friend, gets a Colin and Samir film

Three uploads went up, and a nine-day-old sit-down with Yes Theory co-founder Thomas Brag is still drawing a steady crowd beside them.

On an ordinary day, Colin and Samir's channel gathers something near 50,000 views. The days around their three new uploads ran a little softer than that, and the new videos tell you where the attention went.

The biggest of them is "The Story of Our Most Relentless Friend," which passed 30,000 views in about a day and a half. The description gives away who it is about: it points viewers to Track Star, the man-on-the-street music show, and lists AJ Subat, the show's creator and host, at the top of its credits. Track Star built its name on stopping strangers and asking what they are listening to, and the off-roading disclaimer at the top of the description suggests the film goes somewhere bumpier than a sidewalk. Colin himself is in the credits too.

The other two are closer to the pair's usual territory. "How to Stand Out on a Crowded Internet" went up first, and "Why This Became the Internet's Favorite Show" arrived a day after the AJ Subat film, which makes a reader wonder whether the two belong together.

The older sit-down with Thomas Brag of Yes Theory is still moving at a steady clip. Its chapters run from positivity versus virality to how the YouTube landscape has changed and to building trust with the people in a story, a long talk about making hopeful videos for an internet that often rewards the opposite.

Among the podcast and interview channels close to its size, Stiff Socks is having the loud week, and Tim Ferriss is running well above his usual pace too.
