From 2022's second season of Short Takes, host Blaine Duncan gets a chance to sit and talk with Alabama comedian and internet personality Matt Mitchell.

In this week's episode, Matt talks about his former days of parodying the Daily Mountain Eagle, his wisdom on when a joke is funny enough, the idea of ghosts, and what's done up real good for him.
