Is that how you talk on radios? How do you know it Kyle?

I would guess that Kyle is a ham, too. :wink:
That's generally what a Morse Code conversation sounds like. When ham radio first started out, and for the next 40 or 50 years, Morse was the predominant way to communicate and so it became the ham language. Even today, with computer-assisted digital modes and voice taking over, lots of hams still use Morse Code, and so it's still a little joke with hams to throw some Morse-talk into their corrospondence.
"M0SKR DE VE3VYZ - RR OM ES UR 599 NO QRM. HIHI ABT PRITCHARD. FB ON QRZ.COM - 73 OM M0SKR DE VE3VYZ SK"
That means, literally:
"M0SKR this is VE3VYZ - Roger roger old man you are 599 no interference. Haha about Pritchard. Fine business on qrz.com - best wishes old man M0SKR this is VE3VYZ silent key."
Most of that is self explanatory, except for the 599 and silent key part. 599 is a perfect RST (Readability Strength Tone) report for Morse Code. Readability-5, signal strengh 9, tone 9. Perfect R is 5, perfect S is 9 and perfect T is 9.
The last part, "silent key" means that this is the end of your final transmission. It's also come to be a nice term for hams that have passed away - silent keys.

Breaker one-nine for that westbound 18-wheeler...

Yeah...yeah, CBers generally should be shot. Yeah.

[EDIT] I don't really mean that, although there are lots of hams who do.

Speaking of radios, I wonder what it would be like if we all had radio links in our heads.

On a completely different note, I was fooling around in a solar system somebody made for Orbiter, and I found a moon with a hot pink atmosphere. I wonder if it tastes like bubble-gum...
