The Hawk Tuah girl is going viral yet again after her podcast, appropriately titled ‘Tawk Tuah,’ rose to the fourth-most popular on Spotify with just two episodes.
Haliey Welch has been riding her fifteen seconds of fame ever since going viral in June for saying “hawk tuah” during a street interview with YouTubers TimandDeeTV.
In the following months, Haliey has linked up with comedian Matt Rife, Shaq, and other celebrities including boxer Jake Paul, who scored her a podcast deal with his company Betr.
On September 10, Haliey debuted ‘Talk Tuah’ with guest star Whitney Cummings and followed that up by interviewing her grandma and explaining how she became an internet star.
With just two episodes, it’s become the fourth top podcast in the United States, just behind Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan.
Speaking of Rogan, Welch’s podcast is currently ranked second in the US for comedy and there’s a chance she could end up dethroning JRE soon.
The podcast has already begun sparking countless viral memes on X with users mocking the show’s content by depicting the easygoing show as something far more intellectual.
