Before the show started, Dax noticed that two women seated in front of the couple were trying to look up who Kristen was on their cellphone after they saw several ‘excited’ fans approaching her
However, the woman misspelled Dax’s name as ‘Zach Shepherd.’
Adding to the hilarity, one of the text recipients tried to correct the sender by confidently – and incorrectly – stating that Dax’s name is ‘Dak’ not ‘Zach.’

‘Only to be topped by the greatest pay off of all time!!! Love, *Dak,’ the Employee Of The Month star concluded.
