Wayne comes back from Europe with a souvenir that isn’t cheese or herring, though there’s plenty of that too. It’s a phrase he lifted from retired Giants announcer Mike Krukow, and it has a comma in it that does nobody any favors. Greg and Wayne spend a good chunk of the episode trying to figure out what it means, where the comma goes, and whether it was ever supposed to mean anything at all. They snicker like immature 8th graders at the vaguely naughty insinuations of the phrase.

From there it’s a tour of Wayne’s trip to the Netherlands and Norway, which turns out to be mostly about brown cheese. Don’t ask Wayne to explain it. He’ll try anyway. We also dig into the Van Halen brothers’ Dutch and Indonesian roots, because that’s where the trip led us. Friend of the show Peter comes up, and yes, we pick on him a little. He had it coming, and we have receipts. Suriname makes a brief podcast debut as a topic.

Along the way: Greg’s niece and Wayne’s nephew make appearances, Greg’s phone problems remind everyone to be grateful for working technology, and Wayne has a series of deeply awkward conversations with elderly Europeans. Also, you, dear listener, get a nickname. You don’t get a vote.

It’s a themeless romp with very little to do with the Bay Area. Consider it a vacation from our usual programming, which is itself a vacation from programming.
