Just the coolest motherfucker to hit the internets, bitches.
Actually, Johnny Royal is a product of the Nebraska/South Dakota grain belt that has provided witticisms and mirth to faces since 1996.
His first real paying job was scrubbing toilets for his father's office. After mastering that craft in 1.4 hours, he decided that radio would be an awesome outlet that could suit his penchant for buggery and dorkiness. At the age of 15, he landed a job at a radio station in rural West Central Nebraska. Months later, he was subsequently fired for telling an off-color joke during a Christmas Eve broadcast, which landed him back scrubbing toilets.
To this day, he does not clean a shitter due to post traumatic toilet disorder (PTTD). It's so bad in fact, that it looks like his toilet is growing a beard.
After graduating a year early from high school, Johnny attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, where he earned a degree in Advertising/Marketing; two fields of study that failed to land him a job in the Advertising/Marketing agencies in the Omaha/Lincoln areas. Fortunately, during college, he worked for 106-3 The Blaze (www.kibz.com) after prank calling the station. The morning guys at the time (Tim and Sparky) enjoyed Johnny's homespun humor, and let him work for free as an intern. This turned into a part-time gig, and then full time employment with actual health benefits and everything!
The show grew so large that Lincoln could not contain it any further. Tim and The Animal with Johnny Royal (longest show name ever) began simulcasting in Omaha on K-Rock/The Dam 93-3 FM in Omaha and The Blaze in Lincoln. This was awesome until two douchewads from Missouri came to Clear Channel Omaha and thought Classic Country would be better suited for Omaha than Metallica. With the Omaha station gone, and seeing the landscape of radio in a death spiral, Johnny exited and found employment working in a job he cannot disclose.
Fortunately, Johnny has his Facebook page, and co-hosts the Tim and the Animal Show on 104-1 The Blaze on occasion for free; just like when he worked as an intern. Who says you can't go home again?
Also, Johnny has been writing jokes for several comedians, and is working to get a cushy job writing for those Hollywood types. His door is being knocked on so much lately, the hinges are getting worn. Okay; not really.
