On The Cross with Lucas Murphy

Stephen Holthouser popped in at the studio and helped the boys solve a New York Times crossword puzzle. Nathan got crushed by a Maytag, Stephen explores the concept of the PC mafia, and Lucas finally gets to the bottom of one of the longest standing mysteries on the show.

David Britton joins the boys at the all new Devil Heaven studio for a wordplay puzzle from the New York Times. Along the way we talk about butthole eyes, deep fried memes, the dainty, midlife crisis penis piercings, shushing sports, and unintentionally killing it at an open mic.

Thank you to our listeners who have been spreading the word, we love you and we are in love with you so please keep telling your friends to listen!

It's award season, and during our recent recording session with Jake Reber we ended up talking in depth about Louisville's own Kent Carney Awards for Comedic Excellence with the creator, founder, and godfather of the prestigious-née-facetious award. Listen in on an unprecedented conversation about the most coveted fake award in comedy!

The man behind Louisville's largest annual comedy event, The Kent Carney Awards, Jake Reber is back in the studio. We talk about music, racism, and the She-Hulk.

If this is your first time listening to On The Cross, you should know in all the earlier episodes Nathan wasn’t a big fat guy. From now on, it seems he will be. Also, he’s probably gonna get into jewelry. We talk sneakers, VR pornography, whisper secrets about a dead guy, jape battles, and STELMO. All the while solving the New York Times Crossword puzzle.

The holidays are almost here and you know what that means: we're gonna talk about the safety of consuming street fudge. Friend and comedian Sara Butryn joins the boys for a New York Times crossword puzzle, Lucas makes eye contact with a salacious chimp, and Nathan finds out there's different holes for pee and poo. 

Lucas and Nathan sit down without any distractions and tear ass through the Monday puzzle. So it's like 8 minutes of talk about vitamins right at the top, then they get convinced they can predict the future for a minute, then some talk about whipping it out on a date, a discussion of candy... Long story short it still took them an hour. PLUS! B-b-b-bonus: there's a couple mini puzzles thrown in at the end. Download the New York Times Crossword app and play along!

Comedian Lucious Williams visits the show for another New York Times crossword puzzle! We kick things off with a neighborhood-specific discussion of local diners that's sure to appeal to listeners everywhere, Lucas has more infections than ears, Lucious fights a kangaroo, and Nathan gets a joke stolen by Dane Cook. All this plus a review of the pornography version of Jurassic World!

Friend of the show C. Charles is back with for another round of New York Times crossword puzzle madness. We review some pickles, talk about eating gross foods as a goof, discuss caveman related music, rock and roll baby names, dentistry, and pity date tattoos.
