Explain the joke: During episode 2 of the Disc Only Podcast, Jerod and Stephen began exchanging stories about incidents at breakfast restaurants: Jerod going to a Waffle House and “almost getting stabbed” because the manager pulled out a knife to kick out some unruly customers, and Stephen knowing about someone ACTUALLY getting stabbed at a Denny’s.

In episode 5, after a callback to the breakfast stabbings conversation, Stephen lamented how long it’s been since he’s been to a restaurant, saying that he’d risk being stabbed just to go to one. After Jon quickly disagreed, Stephen began constructing scenarios in which someone may agree to get stabbed for food, to see how Jon would react to them.

Jon stated that his favorite type of place to go out to eat was a steakhouse, so Stephen set his hypothetical scenario at a ridiculously fancy 5-star steakhouse, with scientists on-hand to ensure everything is safe, and the food is free. But the catch is, in order to eat there, you’d have to get stabbed. Jon maintained that even a free 5-star steak from a steakhouse wasn’t worth being stabbed, though Stephen, Tom, and Jerod continued to discuss the hypothetical steakhouse, soon named Outback Stabhouse, in which you can get stabbed instead of paying.

Explain the joke: Stephen had a dream one night about asking Tom to do an episode of Morning Mario for him. Tom agreed, but made a video about skiing safety tips instead. When Stephen asked Tom about the video, Tom just started saying "I took a few liberties!" over and over.

The dream was referenced in an episode of Custom Smash, when Stephen played as Mario in the Mario Maker costume, then later told in full during the Disc Only podcast. Tom and Stephen then made the dream into a bumper for TRG Colosseum.

Explain the joke: In an episode of Disc Only, Stephen told a story about how his mom invited him and Mal over for shrimp, but it started to storm heavily which caused a tense drive home through a flood. The way Stephen fixated on the shrimp implied that getting shrimp for dinner was well worth the potential danger of his car nearly becoming submerged in the flood waters.

Tom voiced what he imagined Stephen’s thoughts to have been during the flood, which was just the word “SHRIMP” with the echo effect on his voice changer turned up, which chat took to typing as “S H R I M P” with the spaces between each letter.

Channel of origin: The Runaway Guys

Explain the joke: While exploring a fire-filled dungeon in Four Swords Adventures, the group was given a variety of items to pick from, with Stephen deciding to take the lamp. Even though the lamp appeared to be useless in a dungeon filled with fire, Stephen figured that if the game offered it as a choice, it must be used at SOME point before the end of the level. It wasn’t, and Stephen got voted as the least helpful because of it. After the lamp became necessary in a later level, Stephen declared it the most important item in the game, often picking it when given a choice of items.
