 George Lindsey, co-host of the Lambert and Lindsey morning show, is a born and bred Kentucky Guy. No I said "bred," not "inbred."
Born in Louisville, raised in Dog Creek, Kentucky (in Grayson County), George is one of 10 kids in the Lindsey family. When asked what they think of their brother's broadcasting career, two of his sisters replied, "I don't see why he up and left for the big city. We got radio in these parts."
"I'm fixin' to whup him next time he comes home," his brother Jordan said. "And with that huge head of his, it's hard not to land a punch."
Speaking of heads, George is often referred to as the "Big Giant Head" by his coworkers. This is a clear reference to the mammoth cranium that rests upon his pencil-thin neck.
George resides in the Audubon Park area with his wife DeAnna (real name withheld) and has two sons, Zachary, who is 14, and Matthew, 5.
"The radio bug caught me early," says Lindsey, who was never asked why he started in radio in Grayson County when he was 14, but he feels like he should tell us anyway. "I was writing sports for the local paper at 14, and I got the chance to go on the radio, and I have been with it ever since." A graduate of Western Kentucky University (Class of 82), George has also worked in radio across the country, from Seattle, Washington to Bowling Green, Kentucky.
"Louisville is home now," he said to no one in particular one afternoon. "It would be next to impossible for me to leave."
No, really. You can go.
"I think one of the reasons for the success I've had," he continued, "and am having at 102.3 The Max, is that people know I'm not some guy who is just passing through."
George's hobbies include Golf, rebuilding an old jukebox (which he's been working on for about 6 years now and no one actually thinks he's still working on it but he still lists it as a 'hobby'), and coaching Junior Pro Basketball and soccer.
George also smells of bologna.
