A donation meme turned Podcast
Disc Only is a monthly podcast where ProtonJon, TomFawkes, Stephen Georg, and Jerod (The8BitDrummer) just talk about whatever! Its origins stem from Jon's stream of all places regarding what game Jon's community should donate for Stephen's Extra Life 2018 stream that was happening the same day. Someone in chat suggested to donate for the "Game Boy Player disc--JUST the disc" and that became the final community choice game. After Jon raided Stephen's stream and donated, it did raise enough money and was "played". By the time they got to it, the stream was literally dying because the computer crashed and sounded like a sparkler went off inside. The resulting VOD has damaged audio as a result, but it happened.

A couple years later, through Chaos Fortune Cookie during TRG Colosseum 2020, the "game" was rallied for yet again. It won TWICE, once after Halo Reach and another time as the final game of the night. According to a discussion while the "game" was up, there were apparently talks of Disc Only becoming a podcast even before the event. Regardless, the idea finally came into fruition a few months later on July 7th, 2020.

Lore
This podcast is the birthplace of many jokes, the existence of the podcast itself notwithstanding, that particularly have to do with blood and/or stabbing:


 * Outback Stabhouse: A fictional off-brand Outback Steakhouse where customers pay by being stabbed. An ad was made for the place as an egg, which was appended to the beginning of both parts to TRG TV. Beefuru is the mascot of the establishment.
 * Murder Gym: A gym that shall not be mentioned in vain, mostly out of avoidance.
 * Blood, Bath, and Beyond: A fictional off-brand Bed, Bath, and Beyond (R.I.P.) with an emphasis on blood-based bath and hygiene products.
 * Q-Sharp: A clothing store that is definitely not suspicious at all. It does not take liability for accidental poking and/or stabbings that may occur.

Expanded lore was established on the August 2023 episode, where it was "leaked" that the podcast is recorded from the backrooms of the Chaos Mall in Ibjibib (pronounced "ihb-juh-bib" or "ee-jee-bib"), where all of the above establishments exist in.

Guests
Though rare, there have been a few guests on the show, usually as a fifth person.
