What's up guys. Thanks for joining me. It's another episode of the Matthew West podcast, and I'm your host, Matthew West. As always, I really hope you like it. I'm coming to you from the Nashville Storyhouse. This is where I write my songs, make my records, write my books, and record this podcast. And today is a special Dad Vice edition of the Matthew S podcast.

Why is it called Dad Vice?

Because he is my dad and he gives good advice.

And that's why it's called Dad Vice.

Take a listen to this.

He is my dad and he gives good advice.

And that's why this segment is called Dad Vice.

Dad, thanks for joining me at the Story House.

You got a dad joke for us.

The people love the dad jokes.

Yes, and it's always a good reminder to encourage people to laugh.

The Bible says a merry heart do it good like a medicine.

Well, then you need to tell a joke that makes people laugh.

Yes, that's my goal.

And the fact that dad jokes started out of the pandemic.

And we started to do these live Instagram and Facebook and and and it dawned on us that boy people need to laugh too

so let's add a little humor and that so I try my best and see what you got well and what I say is

the beauty of my dad jokes is that they are bad.

And that's what makes you laugh.

So here we go.

Why shouldn't you write with a broken pencil because it's pointless?

Okay.
