On The Cross with Lucas Murphy

Solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle with a little help from Doctor Sedgwick’s Brain Tonic. We discuss who the classiest of the drunks is, talk about Kate’s time in the slammer, debate the existence of Rush, and the existence of Soundcloud rappers.

Don’t forget to rate and review us on iTunes! and if you live nearby come see our first ever live show March 20th at Kaiju in Louisville!

Sean Smith's recent appearance was so much fun we kept goofing around for hours and some of that conversation was so good we just kept rolling the tape and so now here for you. Sean and Nathan sing some songs, there's a lot of board game talk, and a story about Sean being frightened and humiliated by evil clowns. It's all here on On The Cross: Nights!

Our good friend Sean Smith from Bout Time stops by the show to help us solve an especially tricky New York Times crossword puzzle. Unfortunately Steve Urkel shows up and, of course, he naturally takes over and dominates the entire show. 

Also don't forget next month we're doing our first ever LIVE SHOW! March 20th at Kaiju!

Come along on an oddysseyy of words! Kate Sedgwick stops by the show to help solve the New York Times Crossword, Lucas reveals his secret past life as a roadie, we all take a turn at trying to remember the Family Ties theme song, Kate invents a new cartoon frog for politics, and we try and fail to name a famous historical pork lover.

Look up Kate on social media for more, and why don't you go ahead and give this show a little ol' review on Apple Podcasts? It's on your dang phone, just go do it.

On the Cross is also doing our first live show next month! If you're a fan of the show, come see us in person March 20th at Kaiju in Louisville. There's gonna be guests, audience participation, prizes, and more!

It’s Valentines Day at Area 51! Hop on your Jello-fueled rocket and grab your copy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Orange Julius because Camel Hump Day is just around the corner! Oliver and Penelope are back with another crazy conversation, and Olympic atheletes Jerry Pickleton and Craig “Girl Power” Poops are in the studio for an historic interview!

Topics discussed include interrupting with booze, skiing on rails, the whole world minus babies and skeletons, George Pizzagate, the national flag of Mybutt, lavasports, and the lost 4 dimensional continent of Cheeseington.

Recurring guest friends Daniel Tilford and AJ Estes had time for a quick mini episode, but then Lucas asked Daniel what his favorite band was and it turned into a whole hour long thing. We talk a lot about The Starlight Express, Nathan can't remember the name of a Jadakiss song that nobody else even remembers existing, we learn about the relationship between Pearl Harbor and our very own podcast, and AJ turns out to be surprisingly good at the olden-times version of the crossword puzzle. 

Jake Reber doesn't just play a comic book nerd on TV, he's got the hot takes on the West Coast Avengers to prove he's the real deal. They try to solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle but they keep getting distracted talking about jazz music, professional wrestling, and how Lucas grounded his son for his views on Russian military tactics. Also Jake thinks "turkey" is a secret Taliban code word for bomb or something, we couldn't figure it out.

If you live in Louisville come see Jake along with Lucas, Nathan, and other past guests at the 7th Annual Kent Carney Awards for Comedic Excellence live March 3rd at the Cure Lounge. Or if you live somewhere else, watch Jake play a fictional version of himself on Bagged and Bored.

Our buddy Greg Welsh returns to the studio for another New York Times Crossword Puzzle! He talks about his love for the Puff Daddy original "Come With Me", Atlas Shrugged, Weird Al's competitors, tar and feathering, and much much more. 

Comedian Dan Alten visits the show to try and explain why he keeps putting the year "2014" on all his posters. We solve the New York Times crossword puzzle, but mostly we talk about Shaq's rap career, loosie jerky, pizza drag racing, airline chili, and Lucas' peculiar curiosities about Reba McEntire. Truly a show with something for everyone.

You can find Dan Alten on all the things if you search his name, or pick up a copy of his latest CD: https://lafffest2014.tumblr.com/

Who's that coming down the chimney with a splash? That jolly old elf with a gameboy face, a nose like a wiener, stump of a finger tight in his butt cheeks just pooping in the stockings and flying away on his giant birthday cake? 

That's right the holiday is here and we're having a party! Come join Oliver, Nathan, and Penelope as we celebrate the seasonal good times! Brought to you by dinosaur poo!
