Comedian and podcast host Bert Kreischer brought four of five members of Goose (Rick Mitarotonda, Trevor Weekz, Peter Anspach, and Cotter Ellis) into his kitchen on the latest episode of his cooking-, drinking-, and conversation-focused YouTube show, Something’s Burning.
The show’s typical purview is something along the lines of, “Bert gets drunk, gets his guests drunk, and chats with them while he cooks them a meal,” but since the members of Goose largely don’t drink, the conversation feels admittedly awkward at points. That said, Kreischer is effusive throughout the hourlong episode in his praise for Goose as his “favorite band,” and his enthusiasm about their success is ultimately endearing.
“My biggest goal is one day you guys to be, like, so big you don’t return my calls, and I’m buying tickets in the nosebleeds,” Kreischer muses at one point.
The topics discussed include the market where the band first had real “fans” (Covington, KY), when and how the band members lost their respective virginities, Bert’s strong feelings about Kendrick Lamar‘s recent takedowns of Drake (the band members don’t have much to add), the band’s songwriting process, Bert’s favorite Goose song (“So Ready”), the band members’ favorite venues they’ve played (Peter: Red Rocks, Cotter: Forest Hills Stadium), what TV shows they watch on the road (Family Feud, Star Trek), what they eat post-show (Mediterranean/Thai food), “hot-bagging” on the tour bus, the alleged salt-based reasons for Ghandi‘s assassination, and more.
Toward the end of the episode, Bert invites his wife and daughters into the kitchen to watch the four musicians grab acoustic instruments to perform “I Would Die 4 U” (Prince), a “Slow Ready” that leaves Kreischer in tears, and a closing “So Ready”.
