Seafood Paella

S4 E05 | Gettin’ Down with Goose | Something's Burning

It’s a dream episode when Bert’s favorite band, Goose, swings by the Something’s Burning kitchen. And, while he’s dishin’ out paella – they’re dishin’ about their music, lyrics, and life. There’s laughter, uncomfortable crying, and a private concert that may or may not have been consensual.
