Welcome back to Clique Bait! This week, we cover everything happening in the TØP universe right now, from the Breach album listening parties to Reel Bear Media’s behind-the-scenes livestream on the making of the “Drum Show” music video. Plus, some well-deserved fan shoutouts!

In our lore Deep Dive, we rewind to the mysterious Ned’s Cozy Fireplace livestream. This project, created by Roland Bingaman, was loaded with hidden easter eggs that pointed toward Clancy and beyond. We explore its lasting impact on the twenty one pilots lore and discuss Bingaman’s other amazing creative work.

We wrap things up with a fan-requested dive into “Hometown” from Blurryface. We break down its potential meanings, from literal storytelling to biblical and Christian references, and how it ties into the band’s recurring themes of mental health, struggle, and resilience.

In this packed episode, we dive deep into the layered world of twenty one pilots exploring everything from mythic dragons to unreleased music and mental health themes.

First, we unpack the lore of Trash Dragon, a mysterious symbol from the Scaled and Icy era. Did you know this dragon may have roots in a fairytale illustrated by Walter Crane, a propaganda artist from the 19th century? We connect the dots between Crane’s work and TØP’s evolving universe.

We also speculate about the next phase in the Breach era, including the potential for a brand new music video and unreleased song. Is a new single headed our way?

Next, we take a thoughtful detour into mental health themes found across the band’s discography discussing how Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun blend vulnerability, symbolism, and storytelling to connect with millions with an in-depth analysis of “Anathema” from Regional at Best breaking down lyrics, themes, and emotional impact.

Whether you're a seasoned member of the Skeleton Clique or a curious music fan, this episode offers fresh insights, deep lore, and meaningful conversation.

We appreciate all of you sticking around and making this fun! We do it for YOU because we are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

In this jam-packed episode of our twenty one pilots-focused podcast, we wrap up our deep dive into the mysterious world of the DEMA Bishops with an in-depth look at Lisden and Sacarver, and a quick look at Nills, Listo, and Vetomo. What roles do they play in the DEMA narrative? How do they connect to the band’s evolving lore? We explore it all—and maybe get a little silly along the way.

We also break down the brand new BREACH track, “Days Lie Dormant”, with a quick analysis and theory crafting around its place in the TØP universe. Then, we go full-on nostalgic and analytical with a detailed revisit of fan-favorite “Tear in My Heart.” What does it mean now vs. then? One thing is for sure, Jenna is a BOSS!

As always, we shine a spotlight on some incredible members of the twenty one pilots fan community doing amazing work. This week’s shoutouts go to:

• @silly_theories for their wildly creative and fun lore interpretations

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.

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!
