A crab eating a Gusher, Jessie Murph and Theo's sideways charm

The week's most watched upload on Theo Von Clips is a short in which Theo hands the singer a video of a crab and its candy, one of eleven clips in seven days.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Theo catches Jessie Murph off guardTheo catches Jessie Murph off guard

"Theo catches Jessie Murph off guard" is exactly that: Theo Von, mid-conversation with the Alabama-born singer behind "How Could You," pulls up a video of a crab eating a Gusher and waits for her to react. It went up on Theo Von Clips, the channel that cuts his podcast This Past Weekend into bite-size pieces, and it is the week's most watched new upload at around 145,000 views.

The comment section has opinions about the crab. Many viewers find its mouth deeply unsettling, others swear it never actually ate the candy, and a few admire Theo's knack for producing something stranger than himself whenever a conversation needs a jolt. Someone even turns up with a history of the crab's owner and her pets.

The other ten uploads reach across recent episodes. Joey Diaz talks about losing his mother at 16, and Neil deGrasse Tyson says what he would ask the aliens. The newest clips are already the busiest: Caleb Pressley, the deadpan interviewer of Sports Sit-Down fame, quizzing Theo on his college football loyalties, then a question nobody else would think to ask, whether there are furries among air traffic controllers. A day-old excerpt from the Zohran Mamdani episode, on whether the American dream is still possible, is picking up speed as well.

The channel as a whole is running a little busier than usual. Among the podcast channels close to its size, Stiff Socks and Dwarkesh Patel are the ones having big weeks, while The Connect and All-In are quieter than they usually are.
