Break The Cycle In Half: 'Shy Away' Deep Dive, Alternate Album Names, & More

Don't circle the track, Frens, break that cycle in half and listen to this incredible episode! That's right folks, we have another riveting show for you this week featuring a VERY deep dive analysis into 'Shy Away' from Scaled and Icy. It's deep, it's informative, and it's so so good!

We also have some fun batting around some alternate album names for the entire TØP catalog, share Josh Dun's latest half marathon stats, and just how much money our streams and views help the boys achieve their dreams of financial freedom! 😂

Speaking of finances, Mr. Cliquebait wants to quit working and be a full-time podcaster for you all so keep them downloads coming! Just kidding, Frens. Being full-time for you would be awesome, but I don't want your money! 🤣

Thanks for being here and being such loyal friends of the pod! We truly hope you love the show as much as we love doing it for 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!.
