Radio host Patrick Connor is out after only his second show on SiriusXM for calling 17-year-old Chloe Kim -- who won gold in the women's snowboard halfpipe earlier this week -- a "hot piece of a--." Connor made the comment about the Olympic teen on Barstool Sports' talk show, "Dialed-In with Dallas Braden," that aired on SiriusXM Tuesday. Connor was fired from Cumulus Media's KNBR/San Francisco where he hosted "The Shower Hour With P-Con."

The transcript between Connor and co-hosts Brody Stevens and former MLB pitcher Dallas Braden, was released by Deadspin on Tuesday night, and it read in part:

Connor: "No doubt, and in fact just to keep it on that tip, her 18th birthday is April 23, and the countdown is on baby, 'cause I got my Wooderson going... That's what I like about them high school girls."

Stevens: "I love it P-Con, I'm right there with you."

Connor: "She's fine as hell! If she was 18, you wouldn't be ashamed to say that she's a little hot piece of ass. And she is. She is adorable. I'm a huge Chloe Kim fan."
