  • What Child Is This: The Duns Dun Welcomed Baby Felix Into the World, Twerkable DJ Mixes of Your Fave Twenty One Pilots Songs, & DEMA Letters Lore Deep Dive
    Dec 18 2025

    First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLANCY'S JUMPSUIT from the Spotify Clique! We missed that it was her birthday today during recording so we want to make sure everyone knows here!

    Second, HUGE congrats to our favorite drummer and is best lady, Josh and Debby Dun, on their beautiful baby girl, Felix Winter! Best of luck to them and many prayers and well-wishes for a healthy and happy life with your their precious Moonbeam.

    besides the big baby news, there's not a ton going on in the twenty one pilots universe this week but whatever there is, we've got you covered here! Listener Shoutouts this week covers some new friends from the socials who have been sliding into the DMs, and the creation of an all new super group in the Spotify Clique - introducing The Spoti5! These are our five original listeners who decided to comment with us every week and JJ can't remember the names so we've given them a group!

    Later we feature @gobsmackeddonthesitate from TikTok who makes amazing DJ-style mashups of all your favorite TOP songs, proving that you can indeed twerk to Forest...when it's mixed with Hometown! Thank you, Adam, for this incredible public service!

    We close things out with Tee's Lore Deep Dive where she breaks down some of the physical DEMA letters that were sent to fans in recent years. The details and things this band gives back to the fanbase is truly something remarkable and may never be seen again by any group out there. For that, we say THANK YOU!

    Speaking of thank you, thanks so much for listening and being a part of our little fam! We love all of you! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

    Nov 13 2025

    Welcome back, or welcome to, Clique Bait! This week, a Seven Nation Army couldn't hold us back from getting into all the details of probably the coolest tribute performance of all time. From the veils and their potential meanings, Tyler's subtle vocal changes, to Josh's incredible drumming (as always), we cover all the goods from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

    While we do that, we get a little rock & roll history lesson from JJ, we call out some of the haters, and shoutout some amazing fans who keep us smiling all week long. Closing things out is a moving song deep dive by Tee featuring 'Downstairs' from the album Breach.

    This one is a good one, Frens, and we're so happy you're here for it! We love all our fans and we are so excited to continue bringing this content to you every week.

  • Ordinary Time: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Updates, It's too Quiet In Here, Jebbyween, & Part 3 of the dmaorg.info Lore
    Nov 6 2025

    Turn the volume up...can you hear that? Maybe a little louder...can you hear it now???

    probably not because we have officially entered Ordinary Time! That's right, the tour is over, Breach talk has slowed to a crawl, the boys have gone radio silence on socials, and we are here left wondering what the heck is going on!

    It's like part of our family has left and it's hard, Frens. But we are here for you and each other. Don't be sad, let's keep the good twenty one pilots vibes going with some light and entertaining talk about our favorite band.

    This ep we get into some R&R HOF updates (we were right...again...) and breakdown how pumped we are for a White Stripes cover performance, Debby's Jebbyween post of her and Josh is just trolling us now, our thoughts on why Breach achieved such high praise and popularity, and closing things out is part 3 of the dmaorg.info lore deep dive.

    Thank you so much for listening and telling your friends about our little slice of the TOP universe. We sure are grateful, and we need each other now more than ever. Let's stick together and keep this train moving! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
