Hahaha! I’ll update this with the audio as soon as it’s available, but Stephen Colbert was a guest on Dan Patrick’s podcast this morning and had some hilarious things to say about the Nation, US Speedskating, Keith Olbermann, and more. His description of the Sports Illustrated cover shoot, calling the speedskaters’ skinsuits “Spanx” for men, was hilarious.

Here’s a post about the interview from Patrick’s blog to tide you over until the audio is up:

Stephen Colbert joined the show to talk about being on the Sports Illustrated cover this week and the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Colbert explained the U.S. Speedskating team lost their sponsor during the economic crisis. Colbert asked “Colbert Nation” to step up and they raised $300,000. Now they’re competing internationally with Colbert plastered on their uniform. Dan suggested he put the logo on the athletes’ backsides.

Thanks for the tip about the show, lvtcr!

UPDATED TO ADD: The link to the audio is now up (thanks, Roland); you can listen to the segment here (also linked through the entry above). It starts about twelve minutes in. Enjoy!

FURTHER UPDATED: There’s video of Patrick in-studio during Stephen’s call. The audio is (obviously) the same, but it’s sort of fun to watch the reaction of Dan and his crew during the interview. Stephen’s great at making people laugh — and it’s nice to hear his real laugh, too.
