Internet star Haliey Welch – also known as ‘Hawk Tuah girl’ – signed with Jake Paul’s company Betr to launch her own podcast.
Betr announced the collaboration with Welch for the podcast ‘Talk Tuah’, which premieres on September 10.
The influencer boxer’s company dropped a short trailer to promote the upcoming podcast. The 48-second montage featured clips of Joe Rogan and Piers Morgan talking about the 21-year-old.
Welch has also been a guest on several podcasts with Paul, some of which have been shortened for promotional material.
“I am so grateful to have my own podcast where you get to know the real Haliey Welch. I am thrilled to join the progressive team at Betr who understand me completely,” Welch said.
“My show will have a little bit of everything: great guests, laughs, relationship tips and of course a touch of Southern charm,” she continued.
This wouldn’t be the first time Paul has chosen to give social media stars a platform. He previously signed college hoops stars Hanna and Haley Cavinder to produce their podcast, Twin Talk.
Welch became an overnight sensation after starring in a street interview during a night out in Nashville. Her X-rated response came after content creator Tim&DeeTV asked, “What do you do in bed that drives a man crazy every time?”
She then went on to give a graphic description of her sexual escapades, miming the spitting and sound she makes.
“You gotta give him that ‘hawk tuah,'” Welch replied. “And spit on that thing.”
From there, she skyrocketed to internet stardom. As the meme spread like wildfire across social media, Welch got everything from a follow from UFC superstar Conor McGregor, a meetup with Shaquille O’Neal, an appearance onstage at a Zach Bryan concert, and her first pitch at a New York Mets game.
She’s also been making the rounds on the podcast circuit, selling her merchandise and attending Paul’s boxing match against former UFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry in July.
Paul launched Betr together with partner Joey Levy in 2022. The microbetting platform has only just been launched and is said to have a net worth of approximately $238.12 million as of August 30, 2024.
