Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably come across Welch in recent weeks as a single joke has propelled her to stardom.

The Hawk Tuah girl was born out of a video where she was asked: "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?"

She simply replied: "You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang. You get me?"

Haliey has done incredibly well to capitalize on her viral fame and is now traveling up and down the country appearing at shows and taking part in podcasts.

The internet sensation appeared on the July 26 episode of Whitney Cummings’ weekly podcast Good For You, where she gave further insight into her upbringing.

The conversation began after Haliey was given the opportunity to FaceTime with her celebrity crush, comedian Matt Rife.

Capitalizing on the moment, Whitney, a friend of Matt’s, connected him via FaceTime to chat with Haliey.

The conversation began with pleasantries but took an unexpected turn when Matt asked for her age and she revealed she was 21.

The conversation then turned to family members, as the comedian joked: "How is your mom?"

This was when Haliey made her revelation, stating: "My mama a crackhead, you don’t want her,” and referred to herself as a “crack baby.”

Haliey followed it up by adding that her upbringing is why she "is so funny".


The comment was met with laughter, with Whitney claiming that the pair were "soulmates".

The conversation then took a flirty turn as Matt invited Haliey to one of his shows.

“I’m in Nashville August 24th doing Bridgestone Arena, do you want to come out?” he asked, and Haliey giggled and accepted the invitation.

Matt followed up by asking: “Do you want front row, or do you wanna be off to the side like backstage? What do you prefer?”, to which Haliey confidently replied: “Put me back there with you, my boy.”

Matt, clearly charmed, remarked: “Oh my God, you gotta meet more celebrities if I’m your celebrity crush. This is so cute,” which left Haliey visibly flustered.

The call ended on a high note with Matt saying: “Love you Haliey, see you soon,” making the internet star blush.

You've gotta hand it to Haliey - she's grabbed this opportunity with both hands and has really proven those claiming she only had 15 minutes of fame wrong!
