Get ready for a hearty dose of laughter and joyful insights as we chat with Lance Howell, better known as the “Dad Dork” on TikTok & Instagram. Lance, a social media sensation known for his “doorbell jokes” and “driveway jokes” captured by his home Security camera, shares the delightful story of his accidental rise to fame. From light-hearted family antics to viral internet celebrity, Lance's journey is a testament to how genuine humor can connect with people worldwide, all while staying true to his wish of creating content that brings families and friends together through laughter.

Join us in exploring how Lance's unique brand of humor and infectious spirit has made him a beloved figure, both online and in his local community. We reminisce about our first encounters with his content and how it has become a treasured part of our daily routines. Lance opens up about his creative process and the importance of embracing one's roots, discussing how a carefree mindset ignited during the pandemic has allowed him to produce family-friendly content that resonates with a broad audience. Along the way, Lance shares amusing anecdotes, including the unexpected comedy of being confused with a friend, Reagan, who looks strikingly similar to him.

On a deeper level, we reflect on the importance of community and connection, both in physical neighborhoods and virtual spaces. Lance's signature sign-off, “Later Gator, see you at church,” has sparked meaningful conversations about the role of humor and faith in building community ties. We share personal stories and highlight the power of simple gestures in fostering love and unity, encouraging everyone to embrace the joy of neighborly connections. This episode isn't just about laughs—it's a celebration of authenticity, the power of humor, and the lasting impact of spreading joy.
