Born Jonathan Matthew Couch in North Little Rock, AR Sept 25, 1982. Matt was a precocious young man. Grew up in Maumelle, Ar receiving a fine education at Pine Forest Elementary, this would prepare young Matt for a future dealing with the likes of Tommy Smith. Speaking of Tommy, upon listening to Tommy every morning on his way to Jr High, young Matt developed an affinity for radio. Through various stints in Mesquite, TX, Benton, AR, and North Little Rock, AR, Matt made it through High School and onto the real world. Attended College at Pulaski Tech in North Little Rock and began a career in banking. This seemed to be the young man’s calling until he discovered the Buzz. He was not to be denied, thru ridicule and flat out public harassment, the young man stood his ground and now…..the stuff dreams are made of, Lindy’s Lap Dog has his career in Radio Promotions at KABZ, 103.7 The Buzz.
