    Feb 19 2026

    Welcome back to Clique Bait, every-BUNNY! What a special week so far! Here we thought we would just be getting ready for Innings Festival and the boys decide to surprise drop a 'Drag Path' single WITH a video! Wait what, wait what?! We were just as shocked as all of you and we jump right into it to give you our takes on Little Bunny Foo Foo and his new video.

    In case you missed it, go back and find Episode 19, "You Found Me" for a proper deep dive on the original cut of 'Drag Path,' but for this episode we focus strictly on the video be cause boy what an unexpected turn of events that was! From the 'Out of a Forest' origins of the video to how it applies to everyone's new favorite song, we have all the angles covered for you (for now...expect a lot more as time goes on!). We also get into all your favorite segments with TOP fans doing amazing things and listener interactions!

    Closing things out this week is a spiritually-focused deep dive into 'Tally,' the 12th song from Breach. It's already a banger but it hits even harder when you apply some deep meaning to it.

  • Purple: Super Bowl Halftime Show Reviews, The Boys as Olympians, & More
    Feb 12 2026

    Howdy, Frens, and welcome back to Clique Bait! This week we have all kinds of shenanigans for your earholes!

    It's a pop culture-y episode where we get into the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny (because why not?!), what we think Josh and Tyler's Valentine's Day plans look like, and if twenty one pilots were winter Olympians, what event would they be in! It's just a fun episode with all kinds of silliness to keep us going for the week!

    Wrapping things up is an AnnaB assisted lore deep dive into some of her theories about the lore NOT being over! We know the boys said it was done but some of us are not giving up so easily. One heavy theory is all about the color purple and what it means to the storyline, hence the name of this ep!

    Don't forget to tell Mrs. Clique Bait you don't care about her birthday in the comments! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!

    Oh yeah, huge congrats to our "daddy," Joshua William Dun on his recent Rock Drummer of the Year award from Drumeo! So very well-deserved for our favorite drummer!

    Closing things out is a super smart deep dive into 'Mulberry Street' from Scaled and Icy. Tee knocks it right out of the park with her thoughtful analysis as always.

    Jan 29 2026

    We're going low this week, Frens, with an all-out Bandito themed episode! I'm not sure we planned it that way but here we are. We get into the normal news and notes from the week that was, including some more observations from Alter Ego Fest, Clikkies behaving badly during the crowd walk, closure for "No Mercy-gate," & more!

    JJ proposes a new merch idea for all the Clique Moms out there and Tee introduces the all new Clique Bait sourdough starter, BandiDOUGH! He could be a rye dough, but he knows that he's sourdough...he is BandiDOUGH...get it?!

    Finally we close things out with a sploosh-inducing lore deep dive into the origins of the word/character "Bandito." Are they all escapees? Survivors? Or indigenous people of Trench? Find out in another expertly crafted deep dive by your fave podcasters.

    Thank you as always for listening and being a part of the Clique Bait fam, we love you guys! We are Clique Bait and so are you, stay alive, Frens!
