Welcome to Cliquebait—the podcast where we stay Fairly Local, dig into the Lore, and ask the big questions like… What’s the story behind the antlers? Why is there duct tape on everything? And how many layers deep is this metaphor, Tyler? If you’ve ever cried in the car to Oldies Station, screamed Heavydirtysoul at a concert, or blacked out your hands for a Blurryface show—you’re in the right place! Every week, we’ll bring you The News—from tour announcements to easter eggs hiding in social posts. We’ll break down theories so deep even Nico would be impressed, and analyze lyrics that make you say, “Wait… is this about faith, trauma, or are they actually singing about Taco Bell? Whether you’ve been riding with the Skeleton Clique since the Self Titled days, or you just discovered Next Semester on a random playlist, there’s something here for you. We’ll deep-dive into albums—from the Car Radio angst to the Scaled and Icy sparkle, or the disappearing Torchbearer—and ask the hard-hitting questions like: What does it all mean? Is Ned okay?? And why is Josh always on fire? So if you’re Stressed Out by the lack of good twenty one pilots content in your feed, or just Craving more information, smash that subscribe button, and come hang out in our trench. This is Cliquebait: where every theory is overthought, every random tweet is dissected, and yes, we’ll absolutely talk about the stolen drums. Subscribe now, and remember: stay alive, frens!.

Hey, Frens, welcome to another fine episode of twenty one pilots pod for your ear holes! This week, Mr. Cliquebait is able to keep himself together for another shot at a proper AMAs ‘Drag Path’ review. We also give a proper roasting to Billboard Magazine for their ridiculous placing of the performance at 13/14…that’s right, second WORST! What the heck were they thinking?! Closing things out is Mrs. Cliquebait’s conclusion to her ‘Levitate’ lore deep dive where she ties it all together and explains how this one song may be THE story of DEMA, Clancy, and the Bishops. Trust us it’s good! Thank you as always for being here and sharing this journey with us, we love you all! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
You guys, WE DID IT!!! That's right, we are reporting live (at the time of recording) from the American Music Awards (not really live, but from the live stream!) for a raw and real reaction to probably the most beautiful performance of not just 'Drag Path' but maybe any twenty one pilots song to date! More importantly, our boys took home the hardware for Best Rock/Alternative Artist at this year's AMAs and we couldn't be happier for all their hardworking to be recognized this year! We know this is a fan-voted deal, but I think that means even more, especially to Josh and Tyler. And then there is the performance...wow, just WOW! What an incredible arrangement, visual performance, and overall touching moment to witness. It was so good, Mr. Cliquebait was finally silenced and was even brought to tears. What was supposed to be a live reaction was nothing but a teary mess! We also cover all the latest news on the "Battle of Columbus" and close things out with Part 1 of a very insightful lore deep dive based off the song 'Levitate' from Trench . Mrs. Cliquebait promises this will confirm the lore is NOT over but you'll have to wait for next episode to see if you agree with her! Thank you all for your continued support. You all continue to make this a magical experience for us and we love you for it! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
Enter sad trombone here...that's right, your very own Mr. & Mrs. Cliquebait lost the Ticketmaster war during the artist presale and (as of now, anyway) are not going TØ THERE...for now... In this week's episode we tell youn all about our trials and tribulations trying to get in on the Ohio Stadium show artist presale, what we think the show will be like, what we're gonna do if we actually can get in, and so much more! Closing things out is the always insightful and eloquent Mrs. Cliquebait with an incredible deep dive into 'Fairly Local' in celebration of the 11th birthday of Blurryface . Ig's a great one and, while we don't have tickets, at least we have each other and this incredible podcast! Thank you all so much for listening and following along, we love you all! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

That's right, it's a full geek-out Science Sploosh with Mr. Cliquebait where we get into music's effect on the Vagus Nerve and how twenty one pilots music specifically stimulates our nervous system in ways we've never imagined! It's a fascinating change of pace that explains all those emotions and physical sensations we get when we hear our favorite band. Thank you all so much for being here the past year and beyond!
