LISTEN: KSR was on Howard Stern today

The Howard Stern Show is one of the biggest radio shows on the planet, so imagine our surprise when they played a clip from KSR this morning.

Eugene, a Kentucky fan from Waddy, is now a regular caller to Howard Stern and KSR, and this morning, called in to tell Howard and company about his trip to New York City for the Kentucky vs. Monmouth game, made possible in part by Matt and KSR. (That’s Eugene with Matt before the game above.)

“Down here, there’s a big radio station that talks about Kentucky all the time called Kentucky Sports Radio,” Eugene said. “And I called them one day and they said, ‘Are you Eugene from The Howard Stern Show? I said, ‘Yeah.’ They said, ‘Well Lord, that’s something. How did you get on his show?’ And I went over how I talked to you that one day and how you had me back the next day and they said, ‘We’d love to give you tickets if you can get up here.’ So I took some money out of savings and I just figured it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Howard, so we took the money out of savings and got us a plane ticket and got us a hotel up there.”

While in the city, Eugene met up with Shuli Egar, a comedian on Howard’s staff, and must have told him the story, because they had the clip of Eugene’s call into KSR from last week ready to roll (Warning: Some of the language is NSFW).

“Look at that, Eugene,” Howard said once the clip was over. “He’s got it kind of wrong, though. I wasn’t putting anybody down; I was just kind of interested in your way of life.”

Eugene assured Howard that everyone’s on the same page about his newfound fame, and they spent the rest of the call talking about how he makes apple pie moonshine.

Pretty cool stuff. Eugene looks exactly like I thought he would, which is a huge compliment.
