I Played Poker Blindfolded and Almost Won!? I Hailey Welch DSH #705

I was mortified to come out of my house.

Yeah, when I first seen it, me and my pal over here.

Did a bunch of them just approach you?

How did that whole process work?

What do you mean?

Like management teams?

Oh, they couldn't find me on anything.

I didn't have social media for a little while.

Yeah, you didn't have Instagram.

So I went out and got an attorney.

I was like, well, hell, all these people are making money.

Why can't I?

I'm the one in the video, you know?

Nice.

So you seized the opportunity.

Yeah, about two or three weeks later.

All right, guys.

Heli Welch here.

First time playing poker, right?

It was.

How'd it it go?

I think it went pretty good.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I thought I figured it out in just a little bit.

You made it pretty far.

I think there was like 30 left.

Maybe?

Yeah, out of 80.

Yeah.

And you said you wanted to play again, so I would play again.

It was fun.

Yeah, let's run it back.

What else have you been up to?

You've been traveling a lot lately, right?

I have.

I've been all over the world.

I saw you with Matt Reif yesterday.

A little something going on there, huh?

Maybe.

You said on Whitney's show that he was.

He's like one-sided, though.

Aw.

I'm crazy about that man.

Damn.

I mean, you're chilling with him in person at a show, so.

Oh, I died.

As soon as I come around the corner and seen him, I was like,

It's a wonder that it had to pick me up out of the floor.

Wait, what?

It's a wonder they didn't have to pick me up out of the floor.

Damn.

Yeah.

Shout out to Matt.

You also took a DNA test recently.

I did.

And you got some interesting results.

97% Jewish.

Are you Jewish?

I'm not.

Oh.

Yeah, I thought it was real.

Yeah?

It was fake?

It was fake, wasn't it?

Oh.

No?

Shit.

Okay.

Oh.

I guess I am Jewish.

I don't know.

All right.

Shit.

What's been the biggest surprises from this blow-up, you'd say?

I don't know.

I just met Ray J outside this door while I'm going to almost like fell over.

Yeah.

He's like, that's Ray J.

I was like, huh?

His assistant was behind me.

I was like, what the fuck?

I was like, that's not Ray J.

She was like, yeah, it's Ray J.

I'm his assistant.

Almost died.

Damn.

So you have a few little celebrities that you kind of.

It's not even a few.

Like, I can't process it.

I'm like, that's not real.

I'm not really looking at them, you know?

I mean, it's a shell shock.

You grew up in a small town, right?

Worked in a spring factory.

Yeah, I just minded my own business.

Now I'm out here meeting Ray J.

Pretty great.

Poker tournaments.

I don't even know how to play poker.

Do you feel like all this is happening so fast or are you kind of just...

It is.

I don't think I've processed it fully.

Hmm.

Yeah, because it was pretty much overnight.

I mean, that's my foot.

Sorry.

No, you're here.

Pretty much overnight, right?

Like, you didn't see this coming.

I didn't see it coming.

But you're playing well.

Like, how quick did you get a management team after the Clips blew up?

Probably like two or three weeks.

I was mortified to come out of my house when I first seen it.

Me and my pal over here.

Did a bunch of them just approach you?

How did that whole process work?

What do you mean?

Like management teams?

Oh, they couldn't find me on anything.

I didn't have social media for a little while.

Yeah, you didn't have Instagram.

So I went out and got an attorney.

I was like, well, hell, all these people are making money.

Why can't I?

I'm the one in the video, you know?

Nice.

So you seized the opportunity.

Yeah, about two or three weeks later.

Let's go.

I'm kind of kicking myself in the ass for it, too, though.

You thought it was too late.

Why didn't you just go ahead and get into it?

Well, why didn't didn't you have social media to begin with?

It's just like mental health reasons.

I didn't really have a purpose to be on it.

Really?

I didn't care to see anybody else's stuff.

Okay.

But now do you feel like that opinion's changed?

Like, you really like it?

I feel like it has.

I like keeping up with everybody now, especially the people I've met.

It's really fun.

I feel that.

Plus, when the money starts coming in, you know.

Yeah.

Hey, you got to get on it.

So are you planning on moving out of that small town now?

Nope.

You're going to stay?

Yeah.

It's peaceful there.

Don't nobody bother you.

Really?

No plans to move to L.A.

Mm-mm.

Really?

It's too busy.

Mm.

Because you recently went there, right?

Yeah, I've been there a few times.

Saw you experiment at Erwan.

$20 for a gallon of milk.

Ain't that something?

Better be the best damn milk you've ever had.

Yeah.

The cow itself better put it in that bottle.

It's in a glass bottle, right?

Glass bottle or, what do you call it?

A carton?

Something like that.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Erwan, whenever I go there, it's like...

My wallet's just empty afterwards.

It sucks, doesn't it?

$500 for groceries.

Hey, but that Haley Bieber shake, I'll pay $25 for it.

And it was worth it?

It was worth it, I think.

Damn, I haven't tried that one.

I see it all over social media.

I was like, ah, it ain't gonna be that good.

I drank it.

It was pretty good.

All right, all right.

I'll try it out.

You still have a bunch of catfish accounts of you?

I do.

Wreaking Havoc?

Yeah, there's like a bunch of Facebooks that are really bad.

So what are they doing exactly?

They're like, oh, I'm Haley Welch.

Like, we had a candy issue, too.

I guess somebody sent, like, candy to the spec account, and they thought it was me.

It was like $200 worth of candy.

What?

But they didn't send it to me.

If you look at it, they didn't even spell my name right.

And I was like, how the hell are you going to get fished into that?

And they didn't even spell my name right.

To be fair, your name is uniquely spelled.

There's a lie in Haley.

Always remember that.

I've never seen it spelled this way.

I haven't either.

What did you ask your parents, like, why?

No?

Because it's like eight for people watching.

It's H-A-L-I-E-Y.

Yep.

There's a lie in Haley.

Do you get it?

Yeah, I get it.

Pretty wild.

How do your parents feel about all this?

This new fame and everything?

Granny thinks it's funny.

Yeah?

Yeah.

My dad's like, like, oh, that's pretty cool.

All right.

They're supporting it or like they're familiar with it.

They're supporting it.

They're not spooked or anything?

They just think it's like a little scary for me, like going all over the place.

Yeah.

Because I've never got to go out and go anywhere.

What's been your favorite spots to go to?

Because you recently just hopped on a plane for the first time this year, right?

Yeah.

That was interesting.

Probably Tampa

or New York.

Why those two?

Tampa's a rare answer.

Tampa's got some damn good food, let me just go on and tell you.

It's by water.

And then New York, you can just walk outside.

You can go shopping.

You can do whatever you want to there.

You still haven't got to see a rat, though.

A rat?

Yes, I want to see one of those big rats they have in New York.

You didn't see one in New York with you?

No, I've never seen one.

That's my second time going.

And I still have not seen a big rat.

What?

I see them every time.

I haven't seen one.

That's surprising.

I was very upset.

Damn.

You're not scared of rats?

Most girls are.

No.

Would you pick it up if you saw it?

I mean, if it like looked at me and I was like, all right, you want to come home with me, don't you?

I'd pick it up and take it home.

Damn, you're wilding.

You got a lot of animals?

Well, I've always had a bunch of different kind of animals, I guess.

Cats, dogs, everything?

I've had just about anything you can think of.

Besides a porcupine.

Ooh, yeah.

I like to have porcupine.

My friend had one.

They shit everywhere.

A porcupine?

Yeah.

Really?

Those are hedgehogs, right?

Is that the same thing?

I think they're different.

I think a porcupine would like freak you.

Oh, okay.

Well, they look the same.

They do look the same.

One's smaller, I believe.

Would you hold a snake?

I've already had a snake.

Damn.

So you're just fearless out here.

I mean, that don't bother me.

What are you scared of, then?

Bugs.

bugs i'm mortified of a bug so you'll hold a snake but you won't if a bug touches me like when do y'all have stink bugs out here stink bugs stink bugs oh stink i haven't seen one y'all y'all don't got scorpions out here scorpions yeah yeah i don't know about that but stink bugs like if you have your window cracked where i'm from like when it starts getting like colder out and they start coming in One's got one time to hit me in the face and I'm going to start crying.

Damn.

I don't play with stink bugs.

What about a cute little ladybug?

No?

No.

It's so cute.

Like if they piss on you, it stinks so bad.

They piss on you.

Yeah, I guess a stink bug.

Do you ever smell ladybug piss?

No.

It's so hard to get off your, like, if one lands on your finger and you're like, ah, and, like, you spook it and it pisses on you, it stinks.

Really?

It smells so bad.

Oh, I didn't even know they did that, to be honest.

You gotta really scrub that smell off you.

Okay.

No, out here we get scorpions and they're, they sting you.

Do you die?

Yeah,

small animals will die.

Yeah, which is upsetting.

But no, humans are good.

It just hurts.

I've done that one.

We went somewhere else, too.

Was it on Virgin Cruise Line?

I really can't remember.

Damn, you drank that much.

You don't remember the cruise line name.

I mean, I was 15 when I went.

Okay.

It was like years ago.

Yeah.

But it was really fun.

You would like virgin, adults only.

Oh, so there's no kids?

Yeah.

I like that.

You could be adults.

What do you go for?

The crawfish, the crab, the mussels.

So I get a little bit of everything.

I just tried a mussel a few weeks ago.

It don't taste like anything to me, but I ate like lobster tail, crab legs, shrimp.

Let's see what else.

Sausage, corn, potatoes, crawfish.

Nice.

Just whatever I'm in the middle of the day.

Full experience.

Love that.

You just did a collab with Paws Across America?

I did.

What happened with that?

So, Paws Across America, that's my fund.

Like, you can go donate to it, and that's just what helps me out.

And I go and donate to whoever I want to, help them out with their stuff they need.

Is that for dog rescues?

Not even just dogs.

It can be for cats, too.

I'm not opposed to cats.

Nice.

Or whatever.

Seems like you're really passionate about the charity stuff.

I am.

Because, I mean, I know what it's like not to have anything.

You grew up.

I like giving back.

Nice.

You grew up pretty like modest lifestyle.

Yeah, modest is a good way to put it.

I mean, if you're in a spring factory, yeah, yeah.

Can't think of a bad thing.

I mean, I didn't mind it in there.

I mean, if all this went away like tomorrow, I'd be okay going back there.

Actually, though?

I would.

Whoa.

I would.

I did not mind it.

I kept it to myself all day, just got my work done, and I go home.

Wow.

So even though you got a taste of all this lifestyle, you would go back to your life you had before all this?

Not intentionally, but if all this was gone tomorrow, I'd be okay with it.

Yeah.

What's next for you?

Are you starting up a podcast or show?

I am.

Both.
