Hailey Welch, popularly known as the Hawk Tuah girl, recently had an exciting moment during her appearance on Whitney Cummings’ podcast ‘Good For You’ on July 26. Welch revealed that her celebrity crush is comedian Matt Rife, prompting Cummings, a friend of Rife, to surprise her by connecting them via FaceTime.
The conversation began with pleasantries, and Matt Rife, intrigued by Hailey, asked her age. When Hailey revealed she was 21, Rife was visibly surprised, even dropping his phone in reaction. The interaction quickly turned humorous and candid when Rife inquired about Hailey’s mother, to which she humorously responded, “My mama a crackhead, you don’t want her,” and referred to herself as a “crack baby.” Cummings lightheartedly remarked that the two were “soulmates,” leading to laughter all around.
The flirty banter continued as Rife extended an invitation to Hailey to attend one of his shows. “I’m in Nashville August 24th doing Bridgestone Arena, do you want to come out?” Rife asked. Hailey, clearly thrilled, accepted the invitation. Rife then asked her preference for seating, to which she cheekily replied, “Put me back there with you, my boy,” eliciting more smiles and laughs.
Amused by Hailey’s excitement, Rife commented, “Oh my God, you gotta meet more celebrities if I’m your celebrity crush. This is so cute,” which made Hailey blush even more. As the conversation wrapped up, Rife said, “Love you Hailey, see you soon,” and ended the call. Overwhelmed with excitement, Hailey joked, “Go get the damn bucket and mop right now,” and confessed, “My face is on fire!”
