Whoa... That twenty one pilots hometown show was just in-credible! We thought we were speechless but it turns out we have a ton to say, so here is part one of our Columbus experience! What a flippin' show! Lore played out live in front of our eyes, the emotions were flowing, and an amazing time was had by all! In this episode, we specifically break down the lore pieces we picked up on throughout the performance. Next week, we will get into the music and the overall atmosphere a little more. For now, enjoy this gem of an episode! Thank you al for being here and listening! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

It is time!!! Finally, the time for the Columbus mega show, 'To Here,' is upon us and we are here to give all the tips, thoughts, and guesses to get you through your trip! If you're not joining the Clique in Columbus this weekend, you can still listen and live vicariously through this episode! We are excited and hope to meet so many new friends there, but we also share in the sadness of those who can't make it. We feel for you, we really do. Closing out this week's ep is the conclusion of Mrs. CB's Clancy planes of existence theory and it's a good one! Prepare to have your mind significantly blown! Thank you as always for being here! We love our listeners and we can't wait to keep this show going and growing with you! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

We cracked open our box for this one and it's a beautifully planned episode for your earholes! That's right, Mrs. CB tackles a favorite from Self Titled with another insightful and moving deep dive with 'Taxi Cab." Following a brief lyrical debate, this one gets into some serious themes and really explores the breadth and depth of Tyler's early writing. We also get into all the latest news and notes, Grammy submissions for the boys, and a few little Columbus crumbs, but we're saving the rest of it for our special Columbus Show episode next week! Thank you all for being here on this journey! We really have the best listeners and fans in the podcast game and we LOVE you for it! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

<Enter sad trombone here> That's right, Frens, we missed Oceans Calling on account of rain and beach erosion (whatever that means)! But that's okay (not really), we made the best of it by complaining all about it here, and finding some fun "lore" in the process! Later, Mr. Cb breaks down the final track on Trench, 'Leave The City.' this is a fan-favorite and we hope we did it justice with our song deep dive. We also get into the latest twenty one pilots news and notes to keep you up to date as we approach the big Columbus show! We can't wait to meet some of you there! Thank you as always for listening and being here with us! We are Cliquebait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
