Purple: Super Bowl Halftime Show Reviews, The Boys as Olympians, & More

Howdy, Frens, and welcome back to Clique Bait! This week we have all kinds of shenanigans for your earholes!

It's a pop culture-y episode where we get into the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny (because why not?!), what we think Josh and Tyler's Valentine's Day plans look like, and if twenty one pilots were winter Olympians, what event would they be in! It's just a fun episode with all kinds of silliness to keep us going for the week!

Wrapping things up is an AnnaB assisted lore deep dive into some of her theories about the lore NOT being over! We know the boys said it was done but some of us are not giving up so easily. One heavy theory is all about the color purple and what it means to the storyline, hence the name of this ep!

Don't forget to tell Mrs. Clique Bait you don't care about her birthday in the comments! 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!.
