Please Use Discretion: Breach Tour Observations, Setlist Review, & Message Man Analysis

Please use discretion when you're listening to our message, MAN!

That's right, we're back with another action-packed episode, Clikkie Nation! This week we get into the first three Breach Tour stops; Cincinnati and Toronto nights 1 and 1 and a half. Unfortunate weather events, stealing fun wristbands, and all the fan line drama, plus THE SETLIST!!! If you're trying to avoid spoilers before your own show, consider this your warning!

We also share the deets on our latest "giveaway" (which really isn't a giveaway and is more of an opportunity) and we close things out with an in-depth analysis of Blurryface-favorite, "Message Man."

We can't thank you all enough for listening, following, reviewing, and all the things! This community is magical when they want to be and we LOVE it! If you're in the Northeast next week and are attending Hartford or Bangor, be sure to be on the lookout for your favorite podcasters! We know you have no clue what we look like but I promise it won't be hard to figure out! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

About the Podcast

Clique Bait
a twenty one pilots podcast
Welcome to Clique Bait—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 Clique Bait: 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!.
