On The Cross With Lucas Murphy

The incredible Mandee McKelvey hangs out with Lucas and not only does a crossword puzzle for the first time in her life, but also brings some much-needed enlightenment to this dumb dumb fart joke circus. Lucas eats spaghetti with pickles, Mandee tries to sort out Lucas's TV crushes, and Nathan knows too much about that Monistat Egg.

Andy Fleming joins Lucas and Nathan to do battle with a Thursday puzzle that covers booze, learning new languages, Star Wars, musical theater, Buffy, and an argument about what exactly amyl nitrate is supposed to do. It's a real erudite episode, perfect for your road trip to the classical music festival.

Actor/Comedian/Award Eponym Kent Carney helps Lucas tackle his toughest puzzle yet! Along the way we discuss Jimmy Stewart, Darth Vader's neck, Chicago's disjointed takes on time, Fraggle Rock deep cuts, Darkman memories, seven layer words, astronomical butter, and the potassium night train.   Don't forget: if you enjoy the show, leave a review on Apple Podcasts!    You can also check out our guest Kent Carney's many projects here: Killscreen Cinema Character Assassination Roasts Bagged And Bored

Friend of the show and master of hype yelling Patrick Passafiume returns for a Wednesday puzzle that covers everything from Annette Benning, to sailing crazy boats.

Friend of the show and fan favorite Tim Northern is back for a Wednesday puzzle with a twist you won't see coming.   Along the way we talk about dandyhorses, deer vapor, things that should not be pickled, the golden age of situation comedy, and Billy Joel vs. KISS. 

Lucas's old buddy Raanan Hershberg was in town with his new one man show: Off The Grid (check it out if you get the chance, it's amazing), and he stopped by the show for a quick Monday puzzle that covered everything from possums and tornado villains to cat dancing and a roadside snake stand. Plus a bonus round of IMDB movie trivia!  

Comedian Patrick Passafiume joins Lucas for a Thursday puzzle that vexes and confounds us to a level heretofore unknown. We talk about Frankenstein's eating habits, Todd Rundgren's parenting, the Sweeple's Elbow, and Caucus Blocking.

Musician/comedian/avant garde genius Chris Vititoe joins Lucas in the studio to tackle the first puzzle in a new omnibus collection of crosswords! 

Legendary comedian Tim Northern stops by the studio to join Lucas for a Thursday puzzle entitled "Will Shortz'a Favorites". Turns out Will Shortz is kinda an asshole. More talk about breakfast restaurants, Tim's got his own alphabet, and the crossword practically dares you to use a racial slur.

Fan favorite Tyler Gooch is back to help Lucas solve a Monday puzzle. We talk about condiments, jukeboxes, and how to get high on bed bugs.

Lucas sits down with comedian Tyler Gooch to do a Thursday puzzle centered around "Funny Themes".
