Whimsical Whimsy: "Dark Josh" Theory Teaser + More Costume Lore

Hey, Frens! It feels like we were just here, probably because we were! We hope you loved the bonus episode last weekend, but we are back to our regular scheduled programming with more whimsical theories, ideas, and all around twenty one pilots craziness for ya!

This week, Mr. Cliquebait teases a potential theory about "Dark Josh" or "Torchbearer Noir" and Mrs. Cliquebait gets into more lore thoughts and possibilities concerning the costumes the boys choose and wear. What the heck does it all mean?! We'll never really know but we sure are gonna talk about it!

Thank you as always for being here, Frens! We love all of you! 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!.
