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!

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
