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.
