''Disc Only Podcast'' is a talk show podcast featuring LetsPlay/ProtonJon, LetsPlay/TomFawkes, [[LetsPlay/StephenPlays Stephen Georg]], and Jerod (aka WebVideo/The8BitDrummer). It premiered on July 2020, with episodes premiering live on Jon's Twitch channel every first Tuesday.
The idea started out as a gag: in 2018, Jon raided Stephen's charity stream and suggests the UsefulNotes/GameBoyPlayer. Not a game using the player: instead, he was asked to play just the disc that goes with the player. When that eventually takes the lead, Stephen would be chatting with his audience while the Game Boy Player showed the title screen. Later in May 2020, LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys hosted the TRG Colosseum Direct, a charity event hosted by the group. During Jon's segment called Chaos Fortune Cookie, the Game Boy Player was suggested there as a CallBack by Stephen. Tom and Jerod were also co-commentators during the segment, so they joined in. Later in the year, they decided to make it into a proper podcast.
A playlist of the episodes can be found on Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOcQAZ2-ilHJogEw0xTRptUv46mClTK3U here]], and is available on [=iTunes=], Spotify, and Stitcher.
!! Tropes that appear in this podcast:
* AudienceParticipation: The first two episodes feature polls held on Twitch for viewers to vote. The first episode's poll predicts who will accidentally take down the next Colosseum stream (either LetsPlay/AttackingTucans or Family Jules), and the second asks the chat whose house they would try to break into (the four hosts were the possible options).
* BasedOnADream: Invoked. Stephen talks about a dream of TRG collabing on a cover for [[Music/BlueOysterCult "Don't Fear the Reaper"]] with LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} on cowbell. Tom feels it would be a great idea for a future Colosseum bumper.
* BirthdayEpisode: Episode 2 is titled "Happy Birthday Jerod!", as his birthday follows the broadcast.
* BlackComedyBurst: In Episode 5, Stephen pitches a steakhouse (dubbed Outback Stabhouse) that will stab you depending on your order, then a breakfast joint where after every half hour a patron gets smacked with a {{frying pan|OfDoom}} for a chance at free eggs. Jon wants none of it. Tom later pitches a fragrance shop where you pay with your blood (dubbed Blood Bath and Beyond).
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In Episode 3, when Tom notes he doesn't have a fanart focus, Stephen asks if he wants it to be [[GagBoobs boobs]], Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, or Pokémon with boobs. [[spoiler: They later settled with [[AnimateInanimateObject appliances]] instead for Tom.]]
* ChristmasEpisode: Episode 6 is titled "Marcy Kramble, Everyone!" and featured some talks about Christmas and SantaClaus.
* DinerBrawl: Episode 2 has two anecdotal stories from Jerod and Stephen: Jerod talks about unruly Marine recruits and the restraunt's manager, a Marine veteran, kicking them out after brandishing a knife, while Stephen notes a stabbing occuring at a restaurant he once visited.
* GRatedDrug: In Episode 4, the guys joke about giving cereal the street drug treatment, with each brand getting its own street name.
* GratuitousLatin: The intro contains a colored drawing with scrolls featuring Latin words associated with the origin of the podcast, as well as the four guys with their personas: [[DotingGrandparent Grandpa Stephen]], [[RuleSixtyThree Rosajon]], the 8-Bit Bunny, and Quagsire Tom. The streamer associated with Tom subverts it by having a series of A's instead to denote the screaming Quagsire.
* HilariousOuttakes:
** Episode 5 begins with the four retaking the intro and treating the first two as outtakes.
** Episode 8 also begins with multiple retakes for the intro after some outtakes, including some invoked instances (such as Tom's faked crash using his voice software) and some {{corpsing}}.
* HotLibrarian: As Jon feels like he's becoming a librarian for video games due to his history and attachment to video games, Jerod invokes this by prompting the viewers to make hot librarian fanart of Jon.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
** Stephen has an issue with pronouncing "thermodynamics".
** Episode 4 has the four wondering how Guy Fieri's name is pronounced. One of the possible pronounciations for his last name was Ferrari.

* OnlySaneMan: Episode 5: Stephen pitches a steakhouse that stabs you, Tom pitches a retail store where you pay with your blood, Jerod pitches suggestions...while Jon wants none of it.
* RuleSixtyThree: Discussed in Episode 3 regarding Jon. Stephen asks Jon if there was a timeline featuring all the female alt art of him, and Jon notes three: Electron Jen (started by an ex and some friends), Pon-Pon (started by [=AriZonia=]), and Rosajon (started by Jumney). Stephen was flabbergasted.
-->'''Stephen:''' Why are there three boob timelines, Jon?
* RunningGag:
** This is how the podcast originated: as a gag for charity streams complete with urging to use just the disc and talk over the screen.
** Episode 8: Jon starting the intro mid-episode. He even slips it in after the outro to Producer Dan's disdain.
* SantaClaus: In Episode 6, as Jerod introduces himself, he claims that he has kidnapped Santa.
* ShoutOut:
** The first segment of Episode 4 has the guys talk about ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' after Tom says he'll go as Colin Mochrie. Stephen follows up saying he'll be Ryan Stiles, Jerod notes he'll be Drew Carey, so Jon follows up saying he'll be Wayne Brady. They follow it by discussing the outtakes from the show.
** When discussing the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp in episode 7, there were comparisons between the team's mascot and [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Trogdor]].
* TemptingFate: Stephen's story in Episode 8 in which he chances going home in his car in flooding rain instead of staying overnight at his parents' house. He later finds himself and Mal underwater, and had to wait as the car drifts along the water.
* ToiletHumor: Episode 6 has talks about inopportune moments when farts are let out, along with accidental [[PottyFailure soiling]].
** Jon talks about a time when LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun has to let out gas in a restaurant, and when he thought the area was empty, [[FailedASpotCheck there was actually an elderly couple sitting nearby]].
** Stephen also notes about "poop tells", when one would know when something's in there.
* {{Troll}}: Episode 7 has Jerod call out Tom as such when Tom confesses to lying to Stephen that Philidelphia Broncos and Seattle Mudcrabs were real sports teams.
