Wow! I must be in a parallel universe, since this transcript doesn’t sound at all like my recollection of my conversations. For example, I would never say “teh sexay.” I would say “the new hotness,” or something that an old geezer like me might speak. I’m sort of a “far out” or “cool, man” guy. You know, “hep to the jive” or “right on!” I’ve even been know to say “wow” now and then.
It’s good to know that someone like you is translating my dinosauric language. “Wowee Zowee.” You’ve got the “right stuff.”

I do feel bad about leaving out the callers, they were funny too:
Caller: Isn’t this ocean stuff just a conspiracy?
RW: What? You’re insane.
IF: No. Thank you for calling.
Caller: Irrelevant gibberish climatology?
IF: IGNORANT FOOL! You have shamed the family of contributors at your local public radio station! Thank you for calling.

It’s some kind of slang thing…

That was great! But I don’t get the meaning of “OH TEH NOES!!!1!”…
