Block Party: AT&T Block Party Recap, Unexpected Covers, Updated Song Brackets, & An Epic Lore Deep Dive

Welcome back, Frens! This week we have an epic recap of the boys' return to NCAA March Madness with a killer performance at the AT&T Block Party, complete with fresh new covers, updated butt word shorts for Josh, a HUGE Umbro jacket for Tyler, and a new lore shirt design that has everyone speculating!

Speaking of speculating, Mrs. Clique Bait closes out the show with an incredible lore deep dive analysis sharing her thoughts on why the lore is definitely not over (and may just be beginning all over again)! Thanks to Tyler's dang shirt, twenty one pilots once again has The Clique questioning EVERYTHING and we are here for it!

Thanks so much for being here, we sure appreciate each and every one of you! Be sure to tell a friend, share the good news with a stranger, and keep this pod rolling along! We do this for you and we will never stop as long as you keep tuning in! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

About the Podcast

Cliquebait: A twenty one pilots Podcast
Welcome to Cliquebait—the podcast where we stay Fairly Local, dig into the Lore, and ask the big questions like… What’s the story behind the antlers? Why is there duct tape on everything? And how many layers deep is this metaphor, Tyler? If you’ve ever cried in the car to Oldies Station, screamed Heavydirtysoul at a concert, or blacked out your hands for a Blurryface show—you’re in the right place! Every week, we’ll bring you The News—from tour announcements to easter eggs hiding in social posts. We’ll break down theories so deep even Nico would be impressed, and analyze lyrics that make you say, “Wait… is this about faith, trauma, or are they actually singing about Taco Bell? Whether you’ve been riding with the Skeleton Clique since the Self Titled days, or you just discovered Next Semester on a random playlist, there’s something here for you. We’ll deep-dive into albums—from the Car Radio angst to the Scaled and Icy sparkle, or the disappearing Torchbearer—and ask the hard-hitting questions like: What does it all mean? Is Ned okay?? And why is Josh always on fire? So if you’re Stressed Out by the lack of good twenty one pilots content in your feed, or just Craving more information, smash that subscribe button, and come hang out in our trench. This is Cliquebait: where every theory is overthought, every random tweet is dissected, and yes, we’ll absolutely talk about the stolen drums. Subscribe now, and remember: stay alive, frens!.
