Just watching my son get older, watching him become a big brother, it's really allowed me to see how independent and how lucky I am to have him and that we don't really need someone else. And that in turn allows me to just be open and find someone that I enjoy for me. You're hanging out with some real sluts with no maternal instinct now. Yeah! -♪ BAD DATES! -♪ -♪ BAD DATES! -♪

-♪ BAD DATES! -♪ -♪ BAD DATES! -♪ -♪ BAD DATES! -♪ -♪ BAD DATES! -♪ -♪ BAD DATES! -♪ Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Bad Dates here on the SmartList Media Network. I am Joel Kim Booster, your host. Listen, this is a podcast about bad dates. It's a very straightforward name.

Okay? The idea is right there in the title. And it's a podcast where I bring some of my funny friends on and we discussed some of their horrific dating stories. And we try to help you too, which is what I'm about to do right now with some listener mail from Ashley. This writes, Check this shit out. Against my better judgement, I agreed to meet a guy for brunch at an outdoor cafe. This guy was a try-hard. He would feel like he's on a funny run and keeps going, with little to no response from me. It was so cringe, but I was polite and thanked him for the date.

He texted me a bit afterward, but I did the path of least resistance and ghosted him. About a week later, I started getting these notifications on Instagram, and when I look, he's got an entire fucking photo spread of our brunch titled dream date with Ashley. This fucker had someone secretly taking pictures of us and managed to find a few shots where I didn't look like I was stuck in a bear trap. I untapped myself but they're still on his account for all 16 of his followers to enjoy. So listen, you're not asking for advice. It sounds like you handled the situation as best you could. But I want to just like for everyone listening, putting someone on Maine is like a lateral move away from asking them to marry you. Okay. It is so important to pick that timing. Right. I have seen so many just like, sort of like early stage relationships killed because someone decided to post to

main grid on Instagram too soon. You can't do that. You have to wait. It's a moment. It's an unveiling. You like even the most nonchalant posts, okay? It ha you have to know, even if you're not doing an official boyfriend, girlfriend, they friend reveal, Everybody knows that's what it is. Everybody feels the weight of that post. So you have to be careful. And, you know, I think a general, a second rule of thumb is don't have the paps photograph you on a first date.

It's bad. It's really bad. And just like for future reference too, like you're only being funny if people are laughing. Keep that in mind as you are telling jokes and stories with your date. It's only funny if they are involuntarily sort of laughing in response. And speaking of involuntary laughing at responses. I am so excited for our guests today. I cannot believe this is happening to me. It is a homecoming. It is... Today, it's just family. All right? Let's say that.

Um, every single person that I'm about to introduce has the same main credit, um, currently. And, um, we're so grateful for it. Um, listen, this first guest, um, dear friend, colleague, writer, comedian, actor. He's been an inside out, writer, comedian, actor. He's been in Inside Out too, trolls. He's a prolific voice actor on the Harley Quinn show as well. King Shark, that's not even in my notes.

I just know that, because we're friends and I'm a fan. Please give it up for my co-star Ron Funches. Woo! Thank you so much, y'all. It's so exciting to have you. So good to see your face. I didn't know everyone else was gonna be here either. Isn't it such a great surprise?

It's amazing. Again, with the surprises. Although my main credit now is Inside Out too. I mean, as it should be. It's like the highest rate of all time. Speaking of high grossing, incredible people, wonderful surprises. This person, I know her from playing Pokemon next to me in the chairs. Every day. Every damn day. Getting snacks, going for it. You might know her from Pose or Tic Tic Boom,

if you're sort of a loser and don't know her personally like I do. She is the incredible Michaela J. Rodriguez. What's up, y'all? Oh my God. So excited to have you here. And then finally, you know, publicly, we hate this person. We have dragged him through the mud. We roast him to no end. And it's sort of the bit of the show. But in fact, I think he is the one

that we all like the best in some ways. He is so funny. Oh, I didn he is the one that we all like the best in some ways. He is so funny. Oh, I didn't know it was a bit. Listen, you can continue the bit onto this podcast, but I'm saying for me, it's a bit. Listen, he's an actor, a comedian, and a fucking Academy Award winning writer of The Descendants. And he started a show called Ben and Kate, which I was one of the people who watched it. I adore this man. Please

give it up for Nat Faxon, everybody. What an introduction. Thank you for introducing me last and most importantly, as the anchor of this entire operation. This is what happens when you give him praise. This is what happens when you give him praise. Yeah, no, I mean, listen, I, again, Ben and Kate, not in the notes, just something I know about you. And I couldn't end it on Academy Award-winning writer for The Descendants.

It just seemed wrong at that point. Guys, what do you think, in terms of posting people to Maine on Instagram, Nat, you don't have an Instagram. I don't have Instagram's ID. I literally have no you don't have an Instagram. I don't have Instagram. You don't? I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I don't know what Maine means. It's not important for you to know.

I famously showed Nat about 16 fake Nat Faxon profiles on Instagram that people have started because he refuses to start his own Instagram profile. So he's not in the know, he's useless to us. But Michaela and Ron, what do you think, how long have you generally waited to post someone to Maine? Oh, it took me forever to even post, it took me until I was 26 years old

to post the person that I really like on Maine. I mean, it's like a long time. How long are you dating before you did that? We were dating for a while, almost a year, actually a year and some change. And I was just like, y'all don't deserve this just yet. You know, so. Agreed.

You know, I hold back. Yeah, I agree with you. I think it is similar to marriage in a way where you have to really make sure that you're committed because nothing's more embarrassing than when you have to go back and delete them all from main and then people go far back to find out when your pictures restart, you know?

And that's terrible. Oftentimes I will go to a city and be like, hey, I'm in Pittsburgh, who do I fucking know in Pittsburgh? And then all these gay guys will come out of the woodwork and suddenly I have friends in Pittsburgh, you know? And like, how else do you send out that Clarion call then through Instagram? I don't have these guys' numbers.

And I guess you don't have any pictures of your boyfriend on there, so you can really have a good time with them. Well, and you know that's famously true. Well. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Let's get started here. I'll start, I guess, with Ron. What is your worst dating experiences and how have they been like?

Sure. When I think about my worst dating experiences, they all kind of just relate to me not having enough self-esteem for myself and not sticking to what I enjoy and what I like. I'm not a big drinker by any means, but I would often end up at dates with bars with people and who did like to drink because I thought, oh, that's what people do. So that's what I'll go and do. And I remember in particular, I went on one date with a lady and we went to a bar and we were just hanging out. And I just noticed, and then we went to a concert and I noticed anytime a phone came out in anywhere near her vicinity, she would just start eavesdropping

and looking at that person's phone. Not in a subtle way. She's iconic. I love this. I know. I would this. I know. I literally love that woman. No, I truly, like we are spiritual sisters because I'm always interested. Like you better have that privacy protector on your screen if you don't want me to see who you're texting. It's good.

Oh, I didn't know you guys were, oh, everyone's a psychopath. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. For sure. Yeah, so get to the weird part, Ron. Yeah.

Right now she says totally normal. Well, I mean, I would understand a curious glance, but it would stop our conversations. Like, if she saw a phone come out, she would just stare at it and try to read whatever was on someone's phone until they put it away. And I was just like- Wait, was on someone's phone until they put it away. And I was just like, was this everyone's phone?

Everyone's? Oh, anyone, anyone in the area? And did she, did she share with you any of the intel that she was receiving in this? No, this was personal for her. That would have been great. You know, perhaps she was just a spy. Now that I think about it, we love a spy that has tea. It's important. It's crucial. I just thought she was just a spy, now that I think about it. We love a spy that has tea. It's important, it's crucial.

But I thought she was pretty crazy, so I asked if she wanted to go out again, and she said that she didn't, so then I felt horrible. Wait, so... You thought she was crazy and yet you still... You sensed, you thought, this is the woman that can help me raise my child, possibly. Um...

I mean, you do have a kid, so you kind of have a built in excuse to have your phone out at all times. Like if I, if I see something where I'm like, okay, I'm just going to check on my nanny and I will, that does, you know, depending on their reaction, it tells me a lot right away. I had one lady be upset about that. And she was like, you should just, she's like, she wanted me to put my phone in her purse. And so then I was, oh, actually that was a terrible day.

Yeah, look at this. That was a terrible day. This is where it gets juicy. I mean, that is mommy vibes. Let's be real. Like put your phone in my purse. Yeah, she was a comedian as well. And it was the first time I,

and I normally do not date comedians at all, but I was like, she had like a special that came out. And so I was like, okay, maybe she's actually out who this is after the night. Or right now. And so we plan to go to this date. I took her to one of my, as one of my go-tos, which is Petite Trois in the Valley.

One of my favorite restaurants. And I know the managers and people there. So sometimes they'll treat me a little nicer and make me look good. Petite Trois? Petite Trois. Trois, okay. Yeah, but either way, whatever you want.

Yeah, I mean, is it an assholes restaurant? No, no, no, no. Guys, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that. No! I cannot, no. That's not how I'm going down. That is just for you. That is for you my Ghost stars. Actually, just bleep it out.

I want people to be furious that they don't know what it is. The whole thing was that we were in the middle of shooting LÜT at the time, and we were just excited to meet each other, and I was like, I'll be happy to meet you. We can do an early dinner, but I have to be on set at five in the morning tomorrow. So I'm gonna need to call it a day. And so we went and had this early dinner.

We were hitting it off pretty well. We were having a lot of fun together. And she was getting really flirty. And she, I was like, okay, I'll drop you. I drove her, I picked her up because we live close to each other. And I was like, oh yeah, I'll just drop you back off at home. And she was like, are we can just go you. I drove her, I picked her up because we live close to each other. And I was like, oh yeah, I'll just drop you back off at home.

And she was like, are we can just go hang out at your place for a bit. And I was like, that's fine. But again, I have to get up at five in the morning. So I'm just letting you know. And we made out, we had a lot of fun time. I went down on her and in a very great fashion that she enjoyed and

came real hard. And then I was like, okay, it's getting towards bedtime now. So that's enough for me. If you want, you can go to bed. I'll take you home and then I'll go to bed. And then she was like, no, well, now we're here. Let's have sex. So we had sex. She kept me up till like midnight. And then I was like, okay, now I need to go to bed. I got to work at five in the morning. And she was like, oh, I didn't know you were just a one time type of person. And I'm like, lady, first of all, you already came twice.

Yeah, you told her three times at this point. And I told her before the date. It was one of my things. You did, you did. Which I think is important. And so, you know, I was like, I'm going to bed. Maybe we can have sex in the morning before I go to work. Wow. Wait, this is crazy.

I cannot believe you even offered that after this person has been, you know, come twice. I like sex. No, no, I get it. Listen, I was actually about to be like, I'm so proud of you for sacrificing sex for work. It really makes me respect you as a fellow actor on set. Listen, I was actually about to be like, I'm so proud of you for sacrificing sex for work. It really makes me respect you as a fellow actor on set. But now to find out that you were like,

I'm still down. Yeah. At 430 or whenever we could have sex again after she's already come twice. Yeah. Wow. You are ready to vote for a female president. Let's just say that. Of course I am. Yeah. devote for a female president. Let's just say that. Of course I am. Yes. So I do wake up early, we have sex, but then it's like, you know, time is running short. So I, as soon as we're done, I hop in the shower and get dressed. And I'm like, okay, coming out. I'm like, oh, I assume she's getting dressed, getting ready to go.

I come back out, she's sitting on the edge of the bed, pouting. And she was like, well, I'm just not the type of girl that you should just sleep with and you can't give me any type of cuddling or aftercare. And I was like, I go, lady, you know, I go, I thought you worked in the business that I work in. You know what call times are. It's not like I can just be like, oh, I'm going to be an hour or two late.

It's just, you know, I have to be there. They said, be there at 5.30, I gotta be there at 5.30. And so she just, I drove her to be an hour or two late. And she's, you know, I have to be there. They said, be there at 5.30. I gotta be there at 5.30. And so she just, I drove her to her home, which was five minutes from me. She didn't say a word to me the whole time, just pouted. And then like texted me when I got to work and was like, we need to have a talk about this.

And then I was just like, oh no, I think you're confused. Like there is nothing. This is really intense. Is this after a first date? I just, this is a first date. I think you're confused. Like there is intense. There's nothing. First day. I just this is the first day. First day. And when she also told me about other comedians that she had dated and told me things that she should not have told me.

I'm glad I know them. But I don't think that that person. Well, you don't have to be specific, but it is it in a like. She told me about a comedian who penis don't work. Oh, that's sad. Well, blessings to them. Should we get into it? Like who was it? We'll be right back. Um, next up is my favorite tech whiz in the biz.

Next up is my favorite tech whiz in the biz. a gorgeous woman like yourself. Thank you. I'm really excited to learn even more. You've been in a relationship, I think you've been wifed up since we started shooting. Yes, we have. So I know a lot about him, but I haven't really dived into the rocky past of when you were in the trenches.

Yeah, she was in the trenches. But back in the day, you know, the story starts out, and this was one of the worst dates ever, and you might actually think it's kind of fabulous too, after you hear what happened. But you know, I had just started, I think, well we had gone on a hiatus, we had just finished second season of Pose,

and I was feeling lonely, and I wanted, you know, I just wanted someone to be there. I wanted there to be someone who liked to show up for me, and just like, you know, hold my hand a little bit. Even though I'm not. Warm body in the bed, yes. Period, you know, because, yes, exactly. All puns intended.

And I literally was like, okay, well, let me just go on Tinder and let me see what's out there. And I hadn't done that at all while I was on Pose, because I was just focused, I was independent bitch focused on her work. She is not trying to get distracted whatsoever. But in the time and space that I had, at all while I was on Pose, because I was just focused. She is not trying to get distracted whatsoever. But in the time and space that I had, I was willing to be distracted.

We set up a date that day at a wonderful place. It was so luxurious. He invited me to Starbucks and I was so happy because I've never been invited to Starbucks before. You know, 7-Eleven's queue. Starbucks is not a place you are invited to. Let's be real. It is a place you show up to. Was it at least one of the fancy ones? Was it one of the ones that serves wine at the very least? A Starbucks reserve? No, it was right in the middle of everything by Fuse and 34th Street and Madison Square Garden.

And so everybody was up in there. Oh my God. It's like people who have just stepped off the train. He took me to that Starbucks. So you understand. You understand. And oh my God. So mind you, I'm over in Jersey at this point.

So on, you know, on Tinder, you know, texting him, we're having great conversation, you know, nothing too racy, nothing too pushy, you know, which she's, at this point. I would always travel back and forth to New York City on the P.A.F.T. train because a girl was doing that, she had no coin at that time, so she was getting on the train. On my way, I'm getting off the train from the P.A.F.T. train, we're at Port Authority, I'm looking real cute, nice little black miniskirt with some high thigh, high boots, you know, I'm looking good. I'm walking, walk up 31st, 32nd, 31st, I get to the Starbucks.

Now mind you, we had had conversations on Tinder and I was just like, just, you know, as a disclaimer, you read my profile, right? Just want to let you know that, right? And to all my dollies out there, by the way, like my dolls, please, as a disclaimer, make sure you let these men know because they don't be reading. They just don't be reading.

So I went into the Starbucks and I sit down and I see him. And before I can speak to him, I'm like, I just want to let you know, he said to me, why didn't you tell me? Wait, so you had it in your profile. You disclosed immediately. Yes. Wow.

And it is crazy how people do not read that information. They don't. At all. Because the number of guys who hit me up and are like, wait, you have a boyfriend already? Like what are we? And it's like, it's there. It's there. And we knew what this was. Thank you very much.

So I, you know, I just, and this was in a time where we didn't have like, you know, the titles on Tinder. So we had to actually write it in the, you know, the bio in Tinder. So I wrote it in the bio. Nervous as all hell, because you know, sometimes the girls don't really have dates. So I go, I sit down with him and he says,

why didn't you tell me? And initially in my head, I thought I said, well, you know, I did let you know in the conversation that we had on Tinder, and you know, I was just trying to be as communicative as possible, but no, that didn't come out of my mouth because I'm a girl from Jersey. So the first thing I said to...

You had just stepped off the path. I had just stepped off the path. It was over for this man. I was walking through people, people bumping through me. I'm already upset that I had to get out of my bed to get dressed up for this man that I don't know. So I was just like, okay, but he still was fine. So I was like, okay, I'll go and see.

So I go and he says that and I thought what came out of my mouth was what I said. I just wanted to, and in reality, what I said was, well, I didn't expect you to come either. I mean, you looking crazy in front of my face too. I didn't expect this either. Shoot, I got my ass out of my house to come to look at you with some dusty pants and a shirt on, sir.

And then I caught myself. I would have been like, nigga, I didn't expect to be in a Starbucks. Okay, thank you very much. But you know, I didn't, this was back in my day. So, you know, I didn't really have that much morals at that time. The bar was set pretty low at this point.

The bar was kind of low And I was young so we'll give grace to my young self but yeah I just I thought I said something nice to him afterwards but the spicy Michaela Jay came out and the poor thing got hurt he got up and he walked out and Initially, I wanted to get up and trail after him and you know talk a little bit more is to him But I knew I probably would get knocked out. so I was just like, you know what? We're gonna save my life today.

That is one of those difficult decisions that we are all forced to make when you're crazy, which is how far can I push this before physical violence will be enacted on me? This is true. And that is something, I mean, I test that at work a lot with you guys. I do.

You do. You do. Yeah, that's true. What is the lesson that you sort of implemented, I test that at work a lot with you guys. I do. You do. That's true. What is the lesson that you sort of implemented, you took away and the rule that you implemented or any, you know, anything like that from this date? I'll say the uplifting part about it was to just know my worth.

Absolutely. And know that there's much more out there for me and that, you know, there's someone else that is able to live up to my standards and now I have someone in my life who lives up to my standards and I live up to his. The second thing that I was learned

is just don't settle for Dusty, because Dusty's not cute. You know, and when you show up to a date, actually this is not for me, this is for any man, when you show up to a date, make sure you showed a girl out. Like show her a good time. Don't be coming in no dusty pants,

no dusty shirt and your hair not cut, you know, and everything like that. Like just really show up. I mean, there is something we said for like, I usually first date. I like to be at like a seven. Like visually. No, because I don't want to. I am the king of under promise over deliver. Okay?

I want you to know what you're getting generally. And then like, you know, I can show you, you know, give you an idea that there's room in both directions. The people that I love and care for, they'll never really ever get that ever. You know, I just, in my heart and spirit, it's just, you know, you gotta pull that kind of bitch out. And I just, it's too much, I'm healing, I'm healing.

We'll be right back after this. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates.

Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Last but certainly, certainly not least, Nat Faxon. No. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Bad dates. Last but certainly, certainly not least, Nat Faxon. No. Yeah.

Yeah, so different relationships kind of came and went, but this is sadly sort of showing my age, but there was no social media or dating apps really at all. I don't want you to be mad, but is this landline era? Maybe. Maybe. Okay. You still likely had a cell phone, but also a landline. Did you have a beeper? The story that I'm about to tell, there was no cell phones in existence. Oh, okay. Oh my God. So you were really like, wow. Yeah, you're really like left out there. I mean, this is like old times, like where you were really, you're really, you know, left to your own.

Waiting by the phone, checking those. Yeah, those devices. My date story sort of starts when I was like in high school. This is a high school story. So this was before all that, before I rocked a pager in LA for several years. That was also the most embarrassing thing was having a pager and being on the 405 stuck in traffic and I had just gotten a commercial agent

and I was so excited and your pager would go off and it would just be like a number to call your voicemail to see what your message was. It like didn't have, nobody had phones. So it was just like a voicemail, you know, from something. And so I would get off, you know, the 405 and be like, holy shit, I got an audition. Oh my God. Okay, here we go.

I'm going to get a call back. Okay. And then I would go to a gas station, get to the pay phone, call my voicemail. And it'd be like, hey, Nat, it's mom. Wondering if you got the underwear I sent in the package. And then, you know, being irate and hanging up and then getting back on the 405 and driving mad to your next audition.

I mean, it was a sad time. I had no idea the life you had to live before. I know, I know. There was a new up and coming band called Fish at the time. That was like, wow, wow. Oh, my God. Venues like in on the East Coast. And so we would go and see them at least like tiny little places.

And I like met this like other sort of like hippie young high school chick. And we're like, yeah, let's go to we'll go to a show together like that. I mean, and you're fully 12 at this point. I think I'm like maybe I'm like 14, 15 at this point. Oh, OK. OK. Yeah, yeah. So your body has gone through changes. You were ready. Yes, yes, yes. So I go to this fish concert with this girl.

And she is not necessarily my type. She's kind of got like a lot of piercings and is a little more like rocker edgy than I, you know, like I was like more into like the kind of sundress kind of like long blonde hair. You wanted Cheryl Hines. You didn't want Avril Lavigne. Right. Okay.

Yeah, exactly. So we're hanging out at the concert. And then after a while, she turns to me and says, you know, at every fish show, because I've been to a lot, I like to get something pierced. And I was like, I don't know what you I don't know what you mean. And she said, I want you to pierce my lip. And this is like mid concert. And I was like, you know, in the back of my mind, like, this don't do that. And then in the front of my mind, I was like, do it again.

Like as we all like in the comedic world, like this could be a fucking great story. So like you have that instinct even at 15. Yes, and so I was like, okay, yeah, I'll do it. And so she pulls out one of those staple removers, like with the teeth, you know? And hands it to me and is like, okay. And she's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, okay, okay.

And then pulls out her lip and she's like, okay, I'm ready, I'm ready. And I- And you're standing in like the pit at this point. Yeah. I'm like, and it's like, okay, on the count of three and I do it and she screams out and it doesn't, I didn't do it hard enough because I was too freaked out. And so it only went like halfway through. She's like, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my God. And I was like, oh no, oh no.

And then there's the bleeding and I was like, oh God. And she was like, no, it's not working. It's not working. Stop, stop. And so I was like traumatized. And then you don't know how do you like then reenter the concert and be like, well, that didn't work like, but this is a great song. No. So we start dancing more and she's like, you know, like in pain. And then a couple songs later, she's like, OK, I like I want to try again, but I really want you to do it this time. Wow. And I got to say normally a wound ends the date.

Yeah, like that is like an open festering wound. Usually. Yeah. In my experience is a date ender. Yeah, I know she's going back for more. is like an open festering wound usually in my experience is a date ender. Yeah. I know she's going back for more. She was determined. She was determined. And so again hands me the thing.

And this time I was like, I am not like gonna, you know, like I'm not gonna be a wuss here. I'm gonna like fucking go for it. And so I like jammed with two hands that thing and it went right through. Oh, man. It worked. And she was like, Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And there's blood everywhere. Can I ask, what are the people around you doing? Like the fact that they ignored this girl crying out in pain.

I know. I mean, it was like the benefit, I guess, of being at like a sort of like psychedelic type show is that people were like really in their own world and they didn't, you know, care. And we were like pretty, you know, it was so loud and nobody knew what was going on. So there were definitely people that were turning and kind of looking and then quickly looking back to the concert for fear of like getting blood on them. And some of those people never did acid again. We're like. I know.

I know. And so for the rest of the concert, like she was like holding it and being like super psyched and like, yeah, needless to say the- She passed away from tetanus two weeks later. Like what?, what? I don't finish my sentence. I still can't get the blood off of my face

and the rest of my body from the god's blood. It was so intense. It was so intense. We totally still hooked up, obviously. And the shitty thing is, is I bet you can't remember her first and last name, because I do wanna see her. Intense. We totally still like hooked up, obviously. And the shitty thing is, is I bet you can't remember her first and last name, because I do want to see her. I want to see her today. Just like fully covered in metal.

Yes. And there's a piercings around her entire face. Yeah. Thank you all so much for being here. Michaela, I love your music. It makes me so happy. Everybody check out her music. But anyways, where can people find you? Y'all can find me on the corner of the street, wherever you need me. Outside the Starbucks near Fort Authority.

You know, and it'll be, it'll be working. No, I'm kidding. No, you can find me on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, all of the handle drops. MJ Rodriguez, Michaela J. Check me out. Love it. Ron? You can find me Ron Funch on Instagram. Ron Funch is everywhere else.

Incredible. I would love to know the story of how you didn't get Ron Funch's on Instagram. On Instagram? I know. I know. Well, cause I just like, people will always call me Funch and stuff.

So I started with that one. And then when I went to go to try to change it, someone grabbed it. Wow, crazy. Nat Faxon, not on social media. So people cannot find you anywhere. No, there is not. I don't, yeah.

There is like a Twitter. Don't follow one of the fakes. Yeah. If you look up just, you'll probably find, you'll know it's a fake if it just starts with Nat Faxon's teeth. That will tip you off that it's a fake. Oh my God.

But DM me, I'll text you his address. It is crazy the number of people who have written comments or sent me DMs asking, when you get famous, will you fix your teeth? And I love those comments. I never noticed. You're so pretty that I'd never noticed that you have anything with your teeth. I'm in the same room. Yeah, that's true. I've got all of my pictures now. We'll have Nat in the background.
