Sorry. It's a stupid joke.
"What's the frequency Kenneth" was an REM song. Some American newsanchor got mugged in front of an ATM a few years back (I think it was Dan Rather). The kids who did it kept yelling "What's the frequency Kenneth?" while they kicked him. The ATM camera caught it all, and it became an instant (and VERY short-lived meme).

what's the relevance of them shouting the phrase?

It's totally bizarre!
The joy of it is that (to us anyway) the phrase seems completely random. Maybe it was some glasscock on their favourite web board?
