Cliquebait: A twenty one pilots Podcast

Welcome back or welcome to Clique Bait! We have a good one this week as we welcome a very, very special guest; our first born, son extraordinaire, "Jorrrrrrrrrrrrge" (extra heavy roll on that R) to the show!

Jorge gets into his top ten twenty one pilots songs and we play along with ours as well. We give our thoughts on the stupid Grammy's, Tyler's poor driving habits (apparently), and all the other news out there this week!

Oh yeah, huge congrats to our "daddy," Joshua William Dun on his recent Rock Drummer of the Year award from Drumeo! So very well-deserved for our favorite drummer!

Closing things out is a super smart deep dive into 'Mulberry Street' from Scaled and Icy. Tee knocks it right out of the park with her thoughtful analysis as always.

Thank you all for being here and following along with us each week, we sure appreciate and love you all! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

We're going low this week, Frens, with an all-out Bandito themed episode! I'm not sure we planned it that way but here we are. We get into the normal news and notes from the week that was, including some more observations from Alter Ego Fest, Clikkies behaving badly during the crowd walk, closure for "No Mercy-gate," & more!

JJ proposes a new merch idea for all the Clique Moms out there and Tee introduces the all new Clique Bait sourdough starter, BandiDOUGH! He could be a rye dough, but he knows that he's sourdough...he is BandiDOUGH...get it?!

Finally we close things out with a sploosh-inducing lore deep dive into the origins of the word/character "Bandito." Are they all escapees? Survivors? Or indigenous people of Trench? Find out in another expertly crafted deep dive by your fave podcasters.

Thank you as always for listening and being a part of the Clique Bait fam, we love you guys! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

Welcome back, Frens! We are back and so are the boys, FINALLY! That's right, we have some live music to talk about again and we are SO excited!

This week we bring you all the usual news and notes, plus our reactions to the Alter Ego Fest performance of a lifetime. What an absolutely incredible short set by our band! The masters of transitions strike again with their ability to cram 12 songs into a 40 minute set and boy did they not disappoint! We had the regular hits, plus plenty of Breach to make it fresh and the boys looked SO refreshed and ready! We are SO back, y'all!

Of course we get into our listener reactions, plenty of sploosh, and a satisfying deep dive into 'Bounce Man' from Scaled and Icy. Plus, Tee gives a bonus life lesson based off of 'Stressed Out' in case you love that song as much as JJ does!

You guys, we're totally killing it with the downloads and interactions for this show and it's all because of YOU! Thank you so much for being here and making this happen, we love you guys. We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

Let's all go to the movies, let's all go to the movies!!! That's right, Frens, we're getting an all new twenty one pilots movie! We hope you're as excited as we are, and we hope to see some of you there!

This week, we give some predictions of what we think will be in the film, some festival set list ideas, tons and tons of listener updates, a really amazing TOP fan doing amazing things, and a new round of 2026 TOP song mantras by request from some of our loyal listeners.

We are also officially kicking off our campaign for a 2027 Golden Globe nomination in the Best Podcast category and we're gonna need all the help and support from the Clique! This is a joke (kinda...)! Additionally, due to overwhelming demand, approval, and participation, the Spoti5 hence forth shall be know as the "SpotiSploosh!" Don't worry Spoti5 OGs, you will keep your "first 5" status!

In case you couldn't tell, we're having an absolute blast doing this and it wouldnt be so fun (or even possible) without all of you! For that, we say THANK YOU! Thank you for listening, participating, following, sharing, and all the things! We LOVE you!

Have a great week...we are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

Welcome back, Frens! We have a good one for you this week (as usual, am I right?!)!

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is back in the news with its wide release broadcast on January 1st. The boys were HEAVILY featured in the promo materials with some even calling their performance a masterpiece! Of course we couldn't agree more!

We also get into some year-end 2025 charts and poll results, discuss a buns reaction channel that called the 'Downstairs' live video "dramatic" instead of seeing the passion and power behind it, a new personality type has entered the conversation (hello, Otroverts!), listener reactions, @coolcatspooky doing amazing things, and more!

Closing things out is a fun new twist on the Song Deep Dive where Tee gives us our 2026 mantras based on the first twenty one pilots songs we listened to in the new year - Levitate for JJ and The Contract for Tee! Let's see if we can stick to them all year long!

Thank you as always for being here and supporting us on this journey. This show is for YOU and we sure hope we're doing it justice. We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It may be 2026 but we're not letting go of Christmas just yet! This week we get into all the twenty one pilots-related gifts we got, including a special a trip to Europe to see two festivals! All the latest news, listener comments from the Spoti5 and beyond, and so much more, including a fun little game of "What if twenty one pilots had 21 members...who would they be?!"

Closing things out is a 'Christmas Saves the Year' video lore deep dive uncovering all the band's hidden nuggets and what they might mean to the greater storyline. We're so excited to start the new year with you all and we would love to hear from you! Send us a DM, email, whatever and let us know what you'd like to hear on the show! We are open to just about everything and would love to make you feel included! Thank you for listening and coming along with us on this journey. We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Frens! We are for your cheer and are bringing all the holiday happiness for your earholes! Christmas shenanigans in the news, fan shoutouts, and a very special holiday double song deep dive featuring 'Christmas Saves the Year' AND 'Smithereens' from the album Trench!

We're a little goofy on this one but that's okay! Sometimes we need a little fun in our lives. Thank you all so much for the best gift of all - your listening for the past half-year. We love having you guys here and all the interaction and fun that comes with it! We wish you all a very happy Christmas holiday tomorrow and may you have the absolute best week! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

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!

Hey, Frens, we are back with a fresh, new episode! This week we whip out our telescope to take a look back in time, not at our reflection, but at the beauty and potential meanings of 'Cottonwood' in a very deep song deep dive.

We also get into Tee's harrowing car accident adventures, JJ's first therapy session, a trading post pop-up for the ages with our TOP fan doing amazing things, listener feedback, 2024 Jingle Ball revisits, and SO much more! We're really all over the place in this one but isn't that what we all need right now? Just some good old twenty one pilots freestyle to keep the week going!

Thank you all for listening and being part of this journey with us. We are having so much fun and it's all because of you! For those that let us know we made your Spotify Wrapped for 2025, we are just THRILLED and so excited that you're part of the Clique Bait fam! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

It's time to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, Frens! This week we wish a very happy 37th (what?!) birthday to our king, Tyler Joseph! We hope it was a good one, sir...now get back to making music already!

We also cover the West Coast Jebby baby shower heard 'round the world (don't worry, people, everything is fine...these people are indeed allowed to have other friends!), new segment of Listener Feedback featuring a "JJ was right" victory lap, and all the new festival news out there.

Closing things out is the always insightful Tee giving us a great and informative final lore deep deep dive on the dmaorg.info saga that we all know and love (a lot better now!). It's a great show, duh, with all the good twenty one pilots stuff for ya!

Thanks as always for listening and being the greatest fans around, we sure appreciate you! For now, we are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
