It's Not Over: 'Drag Path' Live At The AMAs Leaves Clues + A Lore Deep Dive Into 'Levitate'

You guys, WE DID IT!!! That's right, we are reporting live (at the time of recording) from the American Music Awards (not really live, but from the live stream!) for a raw and real reaction to probably the most beautiful performance of not just 'Drag Path' but maybe any twenty one pilots song to date!

More importantly, our boys took home the hardware for Best Rock/Alternative Artist at this year's AMAs and we couldn't be happier for all their hardworking to be recognized this year! We know this is a fan-voted deal, but I think that means even more, especially to Josh and Tyler.

And then there is the performance...wow, just WOW! What an incredible arrangement, visual performance, and overall touching moment to witness. It was so good, Mr. Cliquebait was finally silenced and was even brought to tears. What was supposed to be a live reaction was nothing but a teary mess!

We also cover all the latest news on the "Battle of Columbus" and close things out with Part 1 of a very insightful lore deep dive based off the song 'Levitate' from Trench. Mrs. Cliquebait promises this will confirm the lore is NOT over but you'll have to wait for next episode to see if you agree with her!

Thank you all for your continued support. You all continue to make this a magical experience for us and we love you for it! We are Cliquebait 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!.
