Hawk Tuah's girl has already offered Hawk Tuah $600 in a jar

The latest on the web The main character, Hailey “Hawk Tuah Girl” Welch, has officially started making the podcast rounds, giving her first interview to Brianna LaPaglia on Bri design podcast.

LaPaglia shared a 13-minute conversation with Welch on YouTube that appeared to be recorded backstage at Zach Bryan's concert in Nashville over the weekend, where Welch made an onstage cameo (it was also a brand/relationship synergy, as the LaPaglia and Bryan are dating). In it, Welch talked about the good, the bad and the weird of going viral — she's already quit her job and gotten a manager, plans to try her luck in Los Angeles or New York, and brings exactly the kind of strange requests you would expect.

“The guy that sells my hats, they offered him $600, like three days ago, to spit in a jar and sell it – that's infuriating!” Welch cracked at one point. “I was like, 'Should I?' And I said, “Nah, don't do that.”

Welch spoke about taping the now-famous street interview, in which she was asked to name a sexual move that drives a man crazy, and responded with the immortal words: “You've got to give them that 'hawk' and spit that out.” purse!” Welch said that, earlier that night, she was walking around Nashville during CMA Fest when someone approached her with a microphone. He told LaPaglia he had no qualms about participating, laughing, “I could talk to a brick wall if you really let me.”

Welch went on to say that she didn't expect to see or hear about the video again until it went viral a few weeks after it was posted. She first realized it had been blown up after seeing it on her phone at two in the morning before work. Welch then noted that she worked at a “spring factory” — not as a teacher or bartender as many had speculated — though LaPaglia did not follow up on the very important questions of what exactly Welch was doing at the spring factory or why her shift began there. early.

Anyway, Welch also shot down another internet rumor: that her dad is a preacher. (“My dad is so far from a preacher, it's crazy.”) And she revealed that her parents find the whole thing “so funny,” adding, “But they know how I am. Because you can never tell what comes out of the mouth me — it's hit or miss what comes out of my mouth.”

As for what's next, Welch has already assembled a small management team around her and seems keen to ensure she's not just known as the 'Hawk Tuah Girl'. While he didn't reveal specific plans, Welch said, “I think we're going to do like a show, then we're going to be on a bunch of podcasts and everything else in between… There's more to come, Don don't worry.”
