Haliey Welch, aka the infamous ‘Hawk Tuah girl’, has announced a new business venture after her viral video changed her life.
Who’d have thought two simple noises could have such an impact?
Admittedly they were two pretty memorable noises, made by Welch when she was interviewed by Tim & Dee TV while out with friends.
When asked by the creators, ‘What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?’, Welch responded with her now-iconic answer: “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing, you get me?”
That sentence was all it took for Welch to gain millions of views, and in a new video shared to her social media channels she made clear that ‘Hawk Tuah’ was only the beginning.
In the clip, she tells viewers: “You really thought I was done? I’m just getting started!”
Welch described how the viral video made her life take a ‘complete left turn’, causing it to ‘change forever’.

Rather than shying away from her newfound fame, Welch took it in her stride.
She explained in a new clip on Twitter: “Along the way I realized that everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Well now, it’s my time to talk.”
Welch announced the launch of her new podcast, which has the amazing title ‘Talk Tuah’.
“I’m sitting down with the coolest guests and having actual conversations with them,” she said.
The podcast comes in collaboration with Jake Paul’s media company, Betr, and it set to launch on September 10 with new episodes dropping weekly.
Among the guests set to chat with Welch include comedian Whitney Cummings, Canadian social media star Josh Richards, and even Paul himself.

Commenting on the launch of the podcast in a statement cited by The Hollywood Reporter, Welch said: “Y’all kept asking, ‘What’s next?’ Well, this is it!
“I’m so thankful to have my own podcast where you’ll discover the real Haliey Welch. I’m delighted to join the team at Betr who fully gets me. Together, we’re going to introduce the world to Talk Tuah every Tuesday, starting Sept. 10.
“My show will have a little of everything — great guests, laughs, chitchats about your pets, relationship pointers, sports and, of course, some down-home Southern charm.”
Mike Denevi, Betr’s head of media, described Welch as a ‘bona fide superstar’ as he also discussed the new venture.
“Her charisma, unique perspective and innate connection with her audience make her the perfect fit for our platform,” Denevi continued.
“Talk Tuah will bring a fresh and dynamic voice to our content lineup, and we can’t wait for our audience and brand sponsors to connect with Haliey in an authentic way that embodies the ethos of Betr Media as a whole.”
