The Stallion is a demo tape created by Ween during the recording sessions for The Pod that was later compiled as part of Big Timmy Wasserman. It was recorded at the Pod between February and March 1990.

The insert for the only copy of the tape that exists online, sourced from one of Dean's deleted Facebook posts, notes that three tracks were omitted from that copy (likely for tape-length reasons) with a note to write to Ween for the "real deal" - interestingly, that copy omits "The Stallion Pt. 1."

# Name Notes
1 Papa Got th' Chicken Also known by the fan title "Chicken and Beans".

4 Yo'r Still in My Ear Also known by the fan title "In My Ear". Features Mean Ween on vocals.
5 Laura Rough mix from The Pod. Less effects on the guitar solo and outro.
6 Can U Taste the Waste Rough mix from The Pod. Intro cuts in, ends with a subtle tape-stop effect instead of delayed vocals.
7 Good on th' Bun Later remixed for Shinola, Vol. 1. Drums don't cut out before the solo + a bit longer near the end.

9 Birthday Boy Rough mix from the GodWeenSatan sessions.

11 Grepäk Also known by the fan title "She Crinkled, She Crackled". Recorded in 1989 at Andrew Weiss's house.
12 Boing Rough mix from The Pod.
13 Sketches of Winkle Demo from The Pod. Features the band playing the final instrumental from a tape deck while recording the vocals at the same time, resulting in a few false starts and a different vocal track with some alternate lyrics.

Some copies abruptly end after 2:20.
