  • Thumbgate: Breach L.A. Night 2 & California Travels Recap, "Stolen" LOC Thumb Drive Conspiracies, & 'Downstairs' LIVE!
    Oct 30 2025

    Happy Clique-a-ween (you'll find out later in the episode why this is funny)! We bring you this action-packed episode fresh off the plane from Southern California where we took a whirlwind weekend to see the final show of The Clancy Tour: Breach in Los Angeles.

    What a great time we had back in our home state, complete with some California-only food that we have missed, a trip to Disneyland where the magic began 20 years ago for your hosts, 'Tear in My Heart' video sites, and of course THE best show of the tour!

    Lots of tears were shed, screaming was had, and the third-ever live performance of 'Downstairs' had us weak with gratitude for this amazing band and community. We recap all of it for you on this episode where we skip the lore and song deep-dives to bring you our very fresh takes on all things twenty one pilots, Breach, and what may be next for the boys. We also tease the latest clique conspiracy surfacing about the missing/stolen 'Level of Concern' thumb drive!

    Thank you so much for listening to us and following along. It really means the world to us. We don't have many real friends thanks to good ol' anxiety and social awkwardness, but we have connected with so many from this community and it's really just a beautiful thing that heals our souls. We love you all and can't wait to keep doing this for a long time!

    For now, we are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

  • I Don't Wanna: 'Backslide' Deep Dive, Addressing the Breach Critics, Festival Predictions, & More
    Oct 23 2025

    We don't mind if it's lonely, we don't mind if it's fair, we have a new episode you can play anywhere! That's right, Clique Nation, we are back with another action-packed episode to bless your earholes and we hope you like it!

    This week we get into our festival predictions, the fans getting a little too touchy at recent shows, Tyler's obvious sass, and the recent criticism that Breach is "rushed and under developed (what?!). We also share some 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame potential performance predictions, who the heck is "her" in the lyrics 'I wish her parents would stop yelling,' and so so much more!

    Closing things out is a thoughtful deep dive broken down four ways on Clancy favorite 'Backslide.' This song is so great and has SO many layers. Let us know if we got it right in the comments on our social @cliquebait_pod on all major socials.

    As usual, we thank you so much for making this fun to do! Keep on listening and sharing with your friends, we sure appreciate it! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

  • You Found Me: Drag Path, Digital Remains, Breach Tour Predictions, Nova Bishop, & More!
    Sep 18 2025

    Welcome back Clikkies, Frens, and twenty one pilots junkies! This week is jam-packed with plenty of new lore implications, thoughts, theories, and more!

    We get into our Breach Tour setlist predictions, Breach bingo card final results, poster giveaway recipients, and announce a fun new contest! Breach is SO great that we just can't stop talking about it, and every day has us finding new juicy nuggets to breakdown. Some more thoughts on the "City Walls" music video and how the Clique is reacting to the album so far close out our In the News segment.

    In the Lore Deep Dive, we take a closer look at Nova Bishop and the popular theories floating around about Nico, his true identity, and whether or not he has been controlling Tyler/Clancy this whole time.

    Closing things out this week is an in-depth analysis of "Drag Path." Such a fantastic piece of music! Is it one of their best? Is twenty one pilots finally coming forward as a straight-up Christian alternative band with this very worship-like song? Time will tell but we are all in on this song and its fresh new style!

    Thank you all SO much for being a part of this journey with us! We are having a great time getting deeper into this fandom and music with you. We couldn't be more appreciative for your downloads, participation, and for just being YOU! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

  • BREACH - A Bonus Episode!!!
    Sep 13 2025

    Move it up, move it up, it's a BREACH bonus episode! That's right, Frens, Breach is here and we have an early analysis of every single track for you. We give our initial thoughts on potential meanings, our early favorites, and how dreadfully wrong our predictions were a few weeks ago!

    Intentions are everything...

    While we intended to make this a short bonus episode, we were just too dang excited and it turned into a full-length one, and we're okay with that! This album is too great not to give it its due, and we can't wait to get even deeper into it in future episodes. For now, we close this one out with a mini deep dive of the City Walls music video and our opinions on the end of the Blurryface and Dema storyline.

    We hope you enjoy this very special Breach into your weekend listening plans! We are Clique Bait, and we won't give up on you, stay alive, Frens, always!
