    Jul 17 2025

    ***SPOILER ALERT*** If you listen with kids, Tee spills the beans about Santa and his reality in the one-hour and three minutes mark, so be sure to skip that 30 seconds or so!

    This week, discover the hidden meaning behind Bishop Keons and his role in twenty one pilots’ Clancy storyline.

    In this episode, we break down key lore connections, theories, and symbolism in the TØP universe. Plus, we dive deep into the fan-favorite track “Forest” from Regional at Best, analyzing its lyrics and emotional impact. Perfect for Twenty One Pilots fans who love theory, storytelling, and deep analysis.

  • Empty Set: The Bishops & Their Role in the twenty one pilots Lore, Breach Tour Theories, & "The Outside" Analysis
    Jul 10 2025

    In this episode, our Lore Deep Dive takes to the nine bishops and their real-world connections to the Nicolas Bourbaki Group (why is Tyler so dang smart?!). We also explore some Breach Tour theories, will there be another single, and did the boys actually almost break up in 2016?!

    An in-depth analysis of "The Outside" and its possible connection to the music industry (Lane Boy sequel, anyone?), and do the other "NEDs" have names round out another great episode discussing the only band in the world, twenty one pilots.

    Thanks to everyone for listening and following along! We love talking about our favorite band and we hope you enjoy listening just as much.

    Jul 3 2025

    Hey, Frens, welcome back (or welcome to) Clique Bait, we're so glad you're here!

    This week we talked leaked track lists, No Phun Intended, RykerRoad, petitions for the Big Game halftime show, and other new and noteworthy rumors. ReelBearMedia Mark gets his moment and we decide whether the clique is a cult or not (we are NOT!).

    Our lore dive gets into Trench and DEMA, and we finish things off with a heavy-ish take on Trapdoor and what it all means in relation to men's mental health, specifically.

    Thanks as always for the support and for coming along on this journey to defeat Nico with us! We appreciate you all SO much!

    We're back! Thanks for listening to our vacation episodes and so, so sorry if the sound wasn't great. There was no way we were quitting on you for a silly vacation!

    On this episode we wrap up the Blurryface Twitter saga from 2015-2017, give Paolo Ragusa the roasting he deserves for his "atrocious" review of The Contract, Breach ticket stories (c'mon, Maine, get it together!!!), and a deep dive into Pet Cheetah.

    Thanks so much for listening, following, and all the things! We sure appreciate you all and love that you're enjoying this with us. We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

    Broadcasting from our stateroom aboard the Disney Fantasy somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea we bring you episode 6: Doubt!

    Jun 10 2025

    The Contract is almost here and Blurryface is making sure we know it! Post after post then quickly deleted is leading us all down a rabbit hole of necromancy and we've never been more confused!

    Recorded during the height of Blurry's recent shenanigan's, we take a stab at what it all means and guesses of when The Contract will actually come out. Old news at this point likely but you get the point!

    A deep dive into the history of Blurryface tweets over the years and a breakdown of Heavydirtysoul round out this episode on National Best Friends Day.

    Thanks as always for listening, stay alive, Frens!
