Wanda Sykes
Hello.
Host (Birch Show)
Is this Wanda?
Wanda Sykes
Yes, it is.
Caller/Guest
Hey, how are you?
Wanda Sykes
Hey.
Host (Birch Show)
I know it doesn't sound like it, but we're on the radio right now.
Wanda Sykes
Oh, get out.
Caller/Guest
This is the show you're on.
Host (Birch Show)
This is as fun as it gets. This is it right here.
Wanda Sykes
Wow, this has a high energy.
Host (Birch Show)
We were gonna tape it and then play it back tomorrow morning, but we're running late today, so we thought, wow, let's just talk to you live. It's way more fun anyway.
Wanda Sykes
Well, I like that. Okay.
Host (Birch Show)
How are you?
Wanda Sykes
I'm doing wonderful.
Host (Birch Show)
Is this is the new late night show thing here? Is it crushing your sleep time or how you handling all that?
Wanda Sykes
No, the babies are doing that. Babies are crushing the sleep time. The late night show is fun, though. I'm having a good time over there, you know, I'm really busy doing Old Christine and doing the show same time, but I'm getting it done.
Host (Birch Show)
This has got to be a pretty interesting time to be in late night tv. Sort of watching everything that's going on with the Tonight show and Conan and all that. What's your take on everything that's been going on?
Wanda Sykes
What's going on with the Tonight Show? No, it's a mess over there. NBC, they're just a big mess. You know, they weren't fair to either Jay or Conan, you know, and I feel sorry for those guys, you know, but, you know, I guess by the time Conan finished counting his money, his time will be up and he can get back on tv.
Caller/Guest
Serious.
Host (Birch Show)
That's a lot of money. So many.
Wanda Sykes
Yeah, man. So, like, my contract is really jacked up because if I get fired, I owe Fox money and my staff, they get to kick my butt in the parking lot. I don't know how that happened, but
Host (Birch Show)
know, what did he end up with? 40 million for himself and 12 million for the staff?
Jen
I think so.
Wanda Sykes
Something like that. I don't know. But I want to give him a call, see if I can borrow food,
Host (Birch Show)
you know, like, what, what's your take? And what's like the, I don't know, like the comedy community's take on Jay Leno? Because it seems like there's a lot of people pissed at him right now.
Wanda Sykes
Yeah, you know, it seems like a lot of people are mad with him. But to me, I mean, it's. If you're any, you know, anywhere in TV or just, I mean, I'm sure in radio, too, I mean, you know the game. If you're not getting the numbers, they, you know, they'll fire you. And, you know, Jay, he was getting numbers at the 11:30 spot and they didn't want to lose him, so they pushed him at 10 o' clock and it's, it's okay. Do I go to 10 o' clock or do I just say, you know, screw it? I'll just try to, you know, sit sit still for a little bit because they didn't want to let him out his contract either. So that's why I'm just like, I would be really pissed at NBC if I were them because they made both of them look bad.
Host (Birch Show)
What's the controversy then with Jay? Like, if you're Jay Leno, do you just let that job Go. Because they gave it to Conan, or would you have handled it the same way Jay has? Would you take it back?
Wanda Sykes
I take it back. Well, if it meant that I can't work anywhere else for a while, you know, I mean, he's. He's under contract, you know, so what do you do? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's not like if Jay didn't take the job back, that they were going to keep Conan. You know, I like to say, okay, we'll just stick with this guy if we can't have you. I, you know, I don't know. I mean, I would hate to be in that position, you know, But, I mean, look at it. Jay was number one when he was in that spot. So I. I don't know. You know, networks, they don't. They don't stick with you anymore to let you try to develop, you know, an audience. So I. I don't know what. What Jay could have done, because he's not, you know, he doesn't. He's not Jeff Zucker. He doesn't own NBC. He doesn't own his show.
Jen
Right.
Caller/Guest
I guess a lot of people think, you know, how much.
Wanda Sykes
What was that?
Caller/Guest
No, I was gonna say, I think a lot of people would just wonder, you know, how much is enough? You know, like. Because, yes, when you strike when the iron's hot and when you're hot, you're doing all these shows, you, you know, make a lot of money, and Jay's been doing it for a long time, and I guess for some people, they thought, well, you know what? It was someone else's turn. And if you've given it up, then give it up. It's not like Jay's hurting for money and needs the job back.
Wanda Sykes
Right? But, you know, but if you love what you. What you. What you're doing and you're good at it, you know, should that force you out? Should you go, oh, you know what? I love being a heart surgeon, but I'm gonna stop because, you know, I've saved enough lives. I'm gonna stop, let somebody else do it. I really like doing it, but. Nah, I'm gonna let somebody else do it.
Jen
In light of all.
Wanda Sykes
Yeah. So I see both sides, you know, I feel for both of them.
Jen
So in light of all of that, would you ever host the Tonight Show?
Wanda Sykes
Hell, no.
Jen
Really? Why not?
Wanda Sykes
I don't even. I don't. I won't even watch NBC anymore.
Host (Birch Show)
Really?
Wanda Sykes
Yeah. I mean, it's. It's ridiculous what they. What they did, you know, I'LL go on the show. But I, you know, I'm not, I would want to be a business with them. That's not, that's the way they do business. I would go anywhere near them.
Host (Birch Show)
You know, I think you said something really true. Like we're, we're both in industries where you, you gotta see results quickly now and if you don't, they're gone. So how have your ratings been since you started?
Wanda Sykes
Oh, for my show.
Host (Birch Show)
Uh huh.
Wanda Sykes
I've been, I've been doing good. Yeah. And the ratings are holding up actually on my show on a Saturday night around like what, like 2.3 million viewers, I think. And like in the demo, I'm doing better than like what with like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon and Greg Ferguson, what they do on a, on a regular night.
Jen
So it's awesome.
Wanda Sykes
Yeah, it's been great. You know, I'm not getting a lot of press from Fox or promos from Fox, but you know, that costs money. So. And I'm telling you, this business is all about how much they're willing to spend, how much they're willing to lose. So I just go out there and do my show and try to have fun and hope the audience is enjoying
Host (Birch Show)
it in all honesty.
Wanda Sykes
Are you? So that's good. But I'm here to talk about my, my dvd.
Host (Birch Show)
Okay, let's talk about. All right. What you got going on?
Wanda Sykes
Yeah, Imma Be Me is coming out on Tuesday on dvd.
Caller/Guest
Mm.
Wanda Sykes
And you know, it was, it did very well for hbo. And so now if you too cheap to have cable, yo have premium stuff. The DVD will be available on Tuesday.
Caller/Guest
I saw it on hbo. Hilarious as always. Because I think your name is synonymous with just being funny in comedy. Because my girlfriend and I watched it, loved it. And even last night during the State of the Union address, when Joe Biden was back there smiling and laughing, my girlfriend said he looks like he's watching a Wanda Sykes show. I mean, it's just, you know, I think that you were so hot right now in comedy that I think that, you know, you talk about Fox not doing a lot of commercial. It's like you don't need it. It's just you see your name up there, you're on tv, people want to turn to it.
Wanda Sykes
Well, thank you.
Bert
It's true.
Jen
And I'm wondering if you're gonna write Tiger Woods a thank you note. Cause your Tiger woods stuff is hilarious.
Wanda Sykes
I'm telling you, don't. I mean, we all in comedy should send him a fruit bath. I mean, and he keeps giving. It doesn't stop. You know, like I wake up and yeah, it's like the tooth fairy. You know, you wake up, ooh, what's under my pillow today? What did Tiger leave me?
Andy
What is it?
Wanda Sykes
What bit of comedy am I getting from Tiger today?
Host (Birch Show)
The DVD comes out on what day?
Wanda Sykes
On Tuesday.
Host (Birch Show)
On Tuesday.
Jen
We'll make sure to remind everybody.
Wanda Sykes
All right.
Host (Birch Show)
All right. Wanna good talking to you and continued success with the TV show.
Wanda Sykes
Well, thank you.
Host (Birch Show)
All right, take care.
Wanda Sykes
All right, you too.

Host (Birch Show)
The Burch Show Good morning, Megan. You are on Q100.
Caller/Guest
Hey. Hi. Bert show. I was just gonna say that I know that y' all don't really necessarily believe mistress number two that she doesn't. That she didn't know Tiger Voice was married. Yes, but I didn't know that Tiger Voice was married until all this came up out about him having a parent. Some of us who are just that completely clueless.
Host (Birch Show)
Well, I mean, I mean it's different from. Go ahead. I'm sorry.
Caller/Guest
Well, I, I was just thinking that, you know, if you don't follow golf and you just kind of know his name because he's a pop icon, that's one thing to be in a relationship with him and not realize for a year he's married as a. I think completely different.
Oh yeah. I can, I can definitely understand that. But I'm not, I don't know that we all any of us know quite what their relationship was like. Maybe it was just more of a sexual relationship and they didn't quite get into that conversation. I don't know. I don't know how well she probably doing.
Host (Birch Show)
Here's really what I would like to do here. Because if you're in a relationship for a year with somebody and then you claim that you, you had no idea that they were married, that seems like a really long time. A really long time. I would like to the person that was in a relationship with somebody married for the longest amount of time and never had any idea. And our starting point is one year. So was it two years? Was it three years? Because there are so many different variables. How could you not see that? You never saw his place or you never saw her place. You never saw the, you know, the tan line on the wedding ring finger. You never saw any of that. 404-741-Q100 what this might develop into is just great stories on how to how they hid the relationship. And if you're in a relationship for three years and you have no idea that the other person was married, could they be that good at it or did you just at the end of the day, turn the other cheek like you didn't want to see it?
Caller/Guest
It just depends I think the only
Jen
way it would be is if it were like a long distance thing, you know, if, like maybe he travels for a living and always goes, like across the country.
Host (Birch Show)
He's a pilot.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Jen
Or something like that. Like where they only see each other maybe once a month and that kind of thing.
Caller/Guest
But if I'm in a baby, if I'm in a relationship with somebody for a year and the only place that we meet is at my place and I never get to see their home, it'd be. I would question that. Pictures.
Host (Birch Show)
Now, it could be a friend we're talking about. Like, how long did they go without knowing that the other person was married?
Jen
Or a certain time to call. Not call.
Wanda Sykes
Yeah.
Host (Birch Show)
Hey, Ashley, you're on the voice disguiser. Go ahead.
Caller
Hi. Good morning, guys.
Host (Birch Show)
Welcome to the show. Thank you.
Caller
I was saying that my best friend, college friend, dated a man for a little over a year and a half and did not know he was married.
Jen
Wow.
Caller
He was known in the area, quite successful. Not in the Tyra woods type of realm, but still very successful. They went on trips together. She spent time at his house
Caller/Guest
and
Caller
she never knew he was married.
Host (Birch Show)
They lived in the same city.
Caller
Same city.
Caller/Guest
Damn.
Host (Birch Show)
For a year and a half.
Caller
Yes. He used to his. Well, the story ended up being that his wife was a nurse who worked the evening shift, but she used to go to his house and they had two master bedrooms. And he lived in one of the master bedrooms and said he used the other one for guests.
Caller/Guest
But I'm just shocked that in his house.
Jen
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
No pictures, nothing. Like, guys aren't that cool.
Caller
No, he had pictures, but he was like, oh, that's my sister. There was never pictures of, like, their wedding or them really, like, together. If there was pictures of him and her, there would be other people in the pictures. I mean, he came and they. We all. We all went on vacation together. Like me, her, him, and the person I was dating. I mean, I felt so horrible for her. I was absolutely floored.
Host (Birch Show)
Year and a half right now. Year and a half. Hold on. First I'm gonna tell Laura to hold on. Cause I think she's our closer call. Hey, Laura.
Bluff
Hey.
Host (Birch Show)
Hey, can you hold on for like 60 seconds for me? Cause I don't think anybody's gonna be able to beat the amount of time you're gonna tell us.
Caller/Guest
Can you put me on the voice disguiser, please?
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah, you're already on it. Hold on one second.
Caller/Guest
Okay, thank you.
Host (Birch Show)
I'll be right back. Yeah, there's no one gonna be able to beat that. That amount.
Caller/Guest
Wow.
Host (Birch Show)
We'll work our way up to that. Good morning, Kim. You're on Q100. And you're on the voice disguiser.
Caller/Guest
Hey. How you doing?
Host (Birch Show)
Okay. How are you?
Caller/Guest
Fine.
Host (Birch Show)
All right. You were in a relationship with a guy for a. How long before you found out he was married?
Caller/Guest
Five years.
Host (Birch Show)
Five years. How is that possible?
Caller/Guest
It's possible.
Jen
How?
Host (Birch Show)
You live in the same. Same city.
Caller/Guest
Same city. Visit. His house. Stayed over. His house. He stayed over. Mine. Never knew.
And the wife lived at the house he lived in.
He had to.
Pictures. I don't see how that's possible.
Host (Birch Show)
How is that possible? Like, even in the course of your relationship, you'd think that somebody would start talking about the future. We're going to be with each other. And it never developed into that.
Caller/Guest
We did. I have an engagement ring. I had to get at his job.
What I don't understand is I've been with Katie for four years, and I am. We're involved in each other's families. How. How did you stay with somebody for five years and none of his family members or anybody said anything to you?
I have no idea. Why. No one did. I have no idea.
Host (Birch Show)
So you met. You met the family and everything, and nobody. You had dinners together and nobody said a word?
Caller/Guest
Not one word.
Bert
And there was no female products laying around. Cause, I mean, if she lives there, there's gotta be stuff like that she would use in the bathroom.
Caller/Guest
Not really. He had a sister. Not really. Not really. I mean, it's really weird. Looking back, in hindsight, start noticing stuff like the decor, the way it was decorated, the way the kitchen was set up.
That's just weird to me.
You start noticing things in hindsight.
Host (Birch Show)
So after five years, how did you finally see it? How did you officially find out?
Caller/Guest
He finally texted me and told me that he was at the hospital and they were having a baby.
Host (Birch Show)
Oh, damn. And you're like, who's having a baby?
Caller/Guest
Exactly.
Bert
I just can't.
Caller/Guest
It's so. I cannot believe this. Because I can't believe that you would even be around his family and they'd be okay with it.
Wanda Sykes
Uhhuh.
Caller/Guest
You know, like, I can't believe you're around his mom. And his mom didn't say, what are you doing here?
Yeah, I never met his mom, met his father and his brothers.
Host (Birch Show)
So they all covered for him.
Caller/Guest
They had to.
Host (Birch Show)
Did you ever talk to him after the baby was born? Was there ever, like, officially a breakup?
Caller/Guest
Yes, when the baby was born.
Host (Birch Show)
And then he called you and you Said, I can't believe we just did this for five years and you didn't tell me anything.
Caller/Guest
Exactly. And I kept the room.
Jen
And you didn't tell the wife?
Caller/Guest
No.
Jen
You didn't felt you weren't hurt enough to go to her?
Caller/Guest
Not to be that vicious. No.
Jen
Okay.
Host (Birch Show)
That vicious.
Caller/Guest
He was sleeping around his wife for five years.
Host (Birch Show)
If you guys think that's unbelievable, wait till you hear this. Good morning.
Caller/Guest
The most unbelievable thing you've ever heard in your life.
Host (Birch Show)
All right, let us sit back and enjoy the ride. Let's go.
Caller/Guest
Okay, so my husband and I have been together seven years. And that's when I noticed what was going on. And I asked my husband, how long have you. Your. Has your mom been dating? So and so. And he said, she's been dating him since I was 12 years old. Well, my husband is now 36 years old. And she just broke up with him in these, like, earlier last. Probably the latter part of last year. So we just watched. And she would. She even had, like a $20,000 engagement ring. I mean, beautiful engagement ring. He won and dined her. He was in my wedding, I mean, the whole nine yards. And she final, like, clicked. She's like, why don't I ever go meet your family? And he's from. He's Yankee, he's northern. Way Northern. And he was. She was like, why don't I ever meet your family? And he was like, oh. Because he always had some excuse of why he was leaving and all this other stuff, yet never dawned on her until she broke up with him that, oh, he might be married 20 years. I. I was. I was nosy enough to pull the divorce records. I'm like, there's no divorce record. They always see each other on Saturday. He was there by nine, gone by one. Everything.
Host (Birch Show)
I must have missed something in the very beginning of this story.
Jen
No, she left it out.
Host (Birch Show)
Okay, who was this in the very beginning of the story? Who is this we're talking about?
Caller/Guest
Mother in law.
My mother in law.
Host (Birch Show)
Your mother in law.
Caller/Guest
And her husband was 12 when she started dating this guy. He is now 36. That's how long she was with him. And he was married the whole time. So you're talking about 20 years she was with this man.
Jen
Almost 25. Almost.
Caller
Right.
Caller/Guest
Yes. Yes.
Jen
Wow.
Caller/Guest
And religiously, like, as religiously as you can get, he would be at her house all night, leave at 1. He'd only call after 6, never saw, and stay inside of her house. I mean, he was always at her
Host (Birch Show)
house for 20 years, 25 years. 25 years. And nobody ever picked up on it.
Jen
She broke up with him.
Caller/Guest
I did.
Wanda Sykes
My husband.
Caller/Guest
I was like, red flag, red flag. He was like. He was like, it's all because of money, and he's very wealthy, man. And. Yeah. I mean, even surgeries that she had, everything. He was there, took care of her. Yeah, it was.
Jen
That's amazing.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. I know people in my life whose parents were products of. They were one. They were a member of one family. And the husband had a whole other wife and children somewhere else in the country.
Jen
You're kidding.
Caller/Guest
Where they lived the double life. Children didn't know. Wives didn't know.
Host (Birch Show)
I told you that my dad did that in Vegas. I told you that. You know, that one day that he confessed everything to me that one day told me that he had somebody in Vegas. He had a whole other family in Vegas for a while.
Caller
Years.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. I mean, this man doesn't even have a whole nother family. He just has a wife and siblings. But still, how do you find the time? I mean, he even spent Christmas with us. Unreal. It was absolutely unbelievable.
Host (Birch Show)
25 years.
Caller/Guest
I'm too lazy for that. I don't see how. That's a lot of effort and the motivation behind it. I don't understand.
Host (Birch Show)
I was just reading an article about this a couple of months ago that I don't even know that doing that nowadays is even possible because you leave electronic footprints so often now that having an affair for 25 years was very possible back in the day because the dude went to work, then he came home, woman was at the house. You could have this affair and she'd never find out about it. But you can track texts now. You could break into his email. You could check Facebook. There's just no way to do that anymore.
Caller/Guest
And that's probably a good thing.
Host (Birch Show)
The good thing about electronic media, 25 years.
Caller
Wow.
Host (Birch Show)
She never knew. Never knew.
Jen
She never looked.
Host (Birch Show)
Right. I mean, she didn't want to see it. She didn't want to see it. The bird show.

Sunscreen the Birch show so Carl comes running in here when we have the Atlanta Ghost Hunters on. He's like, man, you know what you're doing in there? You sure you want to do this, man?
Caller
You want to see something funny? The other When I saw you, the Atlanta Ghost Hunter, when I saw you, it reminded me of when I was in Greenbrier Mall the other day with my Atlanta Ghost Hunter shirt on. All right, I wore it normally I wear as a T shirt, you know, But I had a I took my jacket off. I was going in there for a shirt.
Host (Birch Show)
Was it like just like a black T shirt that just says Atlanta Ghost Hunters on it right across it?
Caller
Real clear. Atlanta Ghost Hunters is real clear. So I'm thinking to myself, like man, what am I doing walking to Greenbrier? I know what I'm going to. I know what I'm going to get right. And I got it. Soon as I walk into the mall, I'm seeing the stairs. Like, man, what is that? So I go in the Foot Locker. The girl said, do you hunt ghosts? Looking at me crazy. I'm like, man, listen, you want to catch something funny, go deep into the hood like that. We don't play around with ghosts. We don't play around. The guy, this one guy, one guy was freaking out. He's like, dude, you chase ghosts, man. I'm like, nah. A buddy of mine chased ghosts, but this one girl was the only one who kind of took to it. She had a spirit with her grandfather in her house, and she really took to it. But everybody else, man, they stay 10ft away from you.
Host (Birch Show)
Couldn't get anybody to help you out here. Look, it's not just a black thing. I think with a lot of white people listening, going, I'm the same way. Look, if there's a ghost in my house, I'm moving out, man.
Andy
And you know what's so strange is it's. It's mostly men, too. They. Most men don't want to have anything to do with this. They will deny it. They will. They will just say everything. And there's no such thing. Women are open to this stuff, man. I think it has. Women are in tune with nature. There's something. Because I would say 95% of the people that ever contact us are women and guys. I think it's just a control issue. But you do get a lot of attention when you wear the T shirt out. No doubt.
Host (Birch Show)
If you have, that's a bad thing. If you have some freaky things that are going on in your house and you have a hunch that you might have some ghosts or something in there, go on to our website, Q100, Atlanta comm, and there's a link over there to Atlanta Ghost Hunters. And I just want to reiterate, every time Andy comes on, I always think this is important, that when Andy comes out to your house to look for ghosts, they don't charge you. So there's nothing in this for Andy to pretend that there's such thing as ghosts.
Wanda Sykes
Right?
Host (Birch Show)
There's nothing in it for him. He's not making any money. This is just some weird, quirky, strange habit.
Jen
Hobby.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah.
Andy
Certainly describes me pretty well. But, yeah, we don't charge anything for it. I've experienced things going over in my life over the past 20 years. And I really wanted to find out more about this whole phenomenon that takes place. I just didn't want to do it in my own home. So we go out and we investigate other locations, homes, businesses all over the metro Atlanta area. And, you know, when we find stuff, we've got to share it with the public. It's really amazing to know, you know, I know with 100% certainty that whatever this phenomenon is, it's real and they're intelligent and they're responding to us and they really do want to communicate with us. And it's pretty remarkable when you, when you. When you find things like this.
Host (Birch Show)
All right, so the house that you focus on today is where.
Andy
So the city of Morrow is right in front of South Lake Mall. You can. Anytime you're driving down 75 south, you can see all these old homes that have been brought in. There were homes that were about to be destroyed, destroyed all over Georgia. And the city of Morrow would go in and buy the house for a dollar. And then they would spend $300,000 to drag these homes in and they completely redid them. From the outside, they look like brand new homes. You would have no idea that these homes were truly turn of the century style homes. Majority of them are pre civil war and they're open for shops, businesses, restaurants. The main building that we got the majority of the activity in was from a. There's a bakery and an art gallery in this particular place. And it's a mansion. When I say it is a mansion, it is huge. And what's really cool about it is the house is actually this particular house is brought in from Macon and it's called the Napier house. Now there's a real long story that's tied to this. I don't have all time to get into this, but it'll all be on the website. It's tied to actually an Allman brothers song in memory of Elizabeth Reid. I don't know if you guys have ever heard that song. It's one of their top all time songs. You'll have to go onto the website and read the story, but it's actually tied to Elizabeth Reed and the song that's in this. But the Napier house is where we spent a lot of time, where we got majority of the evidence from. So we'll kind of get right into it. The first one that we got this is always.
Host (Birch Show)
Was there anything specifically like in this house that you know, where people had died before?
Andy
We know that a bunch of children have died in this home.
Host (Birch Show)
Okay.
Andy
There was Majority of the children just died basically at birth, several days after. But we do know that there was a four year old, his name was Leroy. He passed away in the home. Again, they're all Napiers. Mr. Napier actually helped fund the war down in the Macon side back in the 1860s. He spent $60,000 in artillery to help the Confederate cause. So there's a lot of history tied to this house. Definitely. We didn't necessarily know where people died at, though, in what particular rooms.
Jen
And it's been moved from its original location.
Andy
All these homes. Exactly.
Jen
So it's surprising that the ghost would go with it.
Andy
Well, apparently they did. They followed along and in some of the cases, they were happy that we were there. In other cases, they weren't.
Host (Birch Show)
What were some of the activity that they were having in the house before you guys got there?
Andy
Alarm system's been going off at 10:25 every morning. They'd go out because it happened so randomly so frequently. They would go out there and actually sit and watch the alarm go off, have a motion sensor go off. And absolutely nobody's in the building that was doing it every day at the same time during Christmas time, Going down the hallway in the bakery side, and it's incredible. Southern pound cake, if you've ever had it. It's amazing. But they've got this hallway going down in the restaurant area. And all their pictures at Christmas time were turned sideways.
Jen
Oh, wow.
Andy
As they're walking down the hall, they've heard the voices, knocks on the walls. There's plenty of plenty of reason for them to think that there's something that's out there. Exactly. And out of all these homes, this one is one of the few that actually already has a restaurant and businesses in them. They're still in the process of building some of these out. So this one people are there every day and they're experiencing these things on a daily basis.
Host (Birch Show)
Andy brought in some of the pound cake from this place. There's no way I'm having him open that. Bo.
Andy
He's in the studio. It smells so good.
Host (Birch Show)
I don't know what you're gonna unleash some portal to hell.
Jen
You open that up.
Caller/Guest
Pandora's box of pound cake.
Host (Birch Show)
So let's get into it.
Andy
Let's roll, guys. This. This is. This is great. Now. Now we actually. This particular first one that we've got was captured in the upstairs of this place. Now the. The upstairs of the. The Napier house is still. Is not. It's not rented out yet, so it's still very unfinished. Got the studs and all that stuff. It's so. It's very, very unfinished upstairs. And we got something we've caught many, many times. And it says, get out. All right, it's in the background. You hear a girl laughing, and that's one of our investigators. And then in the very background, you'll hear, get out. Oh, yeah, it's right there at the very end. And it's as she's laughing, so you can still hear her laugh. And then behind that is when you actually hear the get out.
Host (Birch Show)
Hit that one more time.
Andy
So when you're able to go back on the website and. And listen to it over and over again, you'll definitely hear that it's. It's behind her laugh.
Host (Birch Show)
And that would be it for me. I'd be, okay, cool. Okay.
Andy
I got a kid that was. You know, no kid's gonna tell me to get out of a house. So the. The next one. It's so strange because I never, you know, when I'm in on an investigation where they passed away back in the, you know, late 1800s, I don't say recorder. So it's very strange in this clip that I actually say recorder, because somebody in the 1800s, they don't have a clue what a recorder is. I, Norma, say, go to the red light and speak into it. And we can hear your voice through that. That device. But this time, I was actually setting the recorder on the stairs, and I said, I'm setting the recorder right here. And a woman's voice kicks back and says, why? Now all my investigators know why I'm sitting it down, but so it's definitely not one of us. All right, I've got the recorder sitting here on the stairs.
Jen
Oh, dang. That just gave me goosebumps.
Host (Birch Show)
Let's play that again. You can hear it at the end here.
Andy
All right, I've got the recorder sitting here on the stairs. Wow.
Caller/Guest
That's clear.
Andy
Yeah, very, very clear. This next one, I can't recall where we were at this point, where in the building we were, but it was still. Again, this one's in the Navier house. And a man's voice just in the background says, whatcha do?
Bert
Whoa.
Caller/Guest
The whispering thing is freaky.
Jen
It is freak.
Host (Birch Show)
How come ghosts never yell? They're always whispering.
Andy
Well, we've had a scream once or twice, you know, and that.
Jen
Why the lady was just talking?
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah, just hanging out.
Jen
What did you do?
Andy
What did. It's. It's. It has two syllables there. Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's what did you do somewhere along those lines.
Jen
And we always say this, too, but when the Atlanta ghost hunters come on, when Andy comes on, you can hear it better in your car, and we can actually hear it in the studio. Something with the transmission makes it more clear. Because we'll run this, like, in the foreplay tomorrow before we come on the air. I'll listen to it on the way in. And I hear the ghost voices so much more clearly.
Andy
You can hear them a lot better on the website, too. They tend to come across pretty good on the website. But again, for those of you that if it's your first time listening, we don't hear these things at the time. That's why you don't hear us react, is we catch these voices on the voice recorders, then we go back and listen to it, and that's when we hear these voices. And it takes a lot of time to go back and review all the audio. So these things, you just. The reason we have no reaction is because we don't hear them at the time. So the next one, this one is tough to hear exactly what it says. I think it says so much of this, but again, it's another whispering voice in the background. It's not really responding to anything that we're talking about. But it sounds like so much of this. There's something there. I can't necessarily say that it says so much of this, but it sounds like a woman's voice saying so much of this. There's something there.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
Wow.
Jen
Amazing.
Andy
It's good stuff, all right.
Caller/Guest
Especially in the dark.
Andy
This next one, again, it's clearly something's being said. I think it says, I don't know any.
Host (Birch Show)
I mean, you can definitely hear something going on there. You know
Jen
anyone?
Andy
It was questionable if it says anyone or anything. It says, I don't know any something. And that part I can't make out.
Host (Birch Show)
Here's our last one. This one might freak you out.
Andy
All right. So this one, I had to end it this way because this place is beautiful. And if you guys get a chance, you need to swing down and look at the old town. City of Morrow. Simply says, I love you.
Host (Birch Show)
She's got the hots for you.
Andy
I know it.
Host (Birch Show)
Ghost, it's coming on you. You got the mojo.
Caller/Guest
The woman.
Andy
Yeah, the woman. Definitely says, I love you. And, guys, there's so many more that there's no way we could play all of them. There's no way. I mean, we've caught in this particular place. We had investigators down at the bottom of the stairs that actually heard a child singing. We caught it on audio, but it just wouldn't make good for radio. You can hear an audio. You can hear a child singing in the background, but it's the audio just wasn't good enough to be able to play on the radio that's on there.
Host (Birch Show)
Like the Children of the Corn type.
Andy
Exactly. Malachi, me and investigator Charity were upstairs at the top of the stairs. We both clearly heard somebody respond no to us, but we didn't catch it on audio, which is just so weird that you can hear it then. But we didn't catch it on audio.
Caller/Guest
And one thing about ghost hunting too is I think learning the history of the place as well as doing these report the fact that I had no idea that Mara did that with all these homes I think is so fascinating.
Host (Birch Show)
Hey the Birch show okay, can we
Bert

Between your breaking news with me, the Geico gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.
Andy
It feels good to get good news.
Host (Birch Show)
It feels good to Geico the first show we need to bring back celebrity incarceration draft. Today we did this for a while and it kind of went away.
Jen
This is fun.
Host (Birch Show)
It is. Celebrity incarceration draft goes like this. When a celebrity gets busted and gets arrested, can't be pulled over, can't be alleged, it has to be arrested. Then each one of us try to predict who the next celebrity is that's gonna be arrested. And every time we do that, we put a dollar, a dollar into our jackpot and then that celebrity that we predict sort of stays on our individual ro until the next celebrity gets arrested. Now, if that next celebrity is on our list, we get the pot, we get the jackpot.
Jen
Right.
Host (Birch Show)
It's really sort of difficult to explain.
Jen
Next time a new celebrity is arrested, we add more people to the list until somebody that one of us has picked is arrested.
Wanda Sykes
Right.
Host (Birch Show)
You said that much better than I did.
Jen
So it can keep going and going and going for a long time or it could be over in two rounds.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah, we've had these go on where it's like hundreds of dollars in the pot after a while.
Caller/Guest
Yep.
Host (Birch Show)
So Jen, tell them why we are starting this up again today.
Jen
We're starting it up again today because Michael Lohan, I mean loosely a celebrity because his daughter is Lindsay Lohan, but he is, is going to be our sort of springboard to launch this round of celebrity incarceration draft. Because he was arrested, his ex girlfriend, Aaron has a restraining order against him and he's not allowed to call her. And apparently he called her. So he was arrested yesterday in Long Island. Now he says that she doesn't have any proof, blasey blah blah, whatever it is, he's doing court and he's arrested and he's loosely a celebrity.
Host (Birch Show)
At least you know his name. That's sort of our rule. If you know his name, then we can start another round because a lot of football players and stuff get busted. And nobody knows who they are or directors.
Caller
Right.
Host (Birch Show)
All right, so this will be our order for the very first round of this celebrity incarceration draft. It goes. Melissa, Jen, Bert and Wendy.
Jen
Okay.
Caller/Guest
Okay.
Wanda Sykes
All right.
Caller/Guest
Well, I just want to put this guy on my roster because I think he's gonna, you know, eventually he's gonna get busted for something. It may end up being a dui, But R. Kelly, because my boy R. Kelly, because he's dodged a lot of bullets, and eventually he's not gonna be able to dodge, you know, the silver one.
Jen
Okay, that's good.
Host (Birch Show)
Good one, R. Kelly. That is strong.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Host (Birch Show)
On any given day, like, for me, these first couple of rounds are like, if you woke up the next morning and found out that this person got arrested, you wouldn't be surprised at all. These are, like, the easy ones.
Jen
Well, I want to pick one that we always talk about, but he just got arrested, so I don't think that that pick is going to be the right call to make because I think he's going to be on good behavior for a while.
Host (Birch Show)
So sometimes there's consistency there.
Jen
There is sometimes consistency. So I'm kind of upset about maybe not picking him, but I'm going with Tila Tequila. Oh, that's a good one.
Caller/Guest
That is a good one.
Jen
Because she is desperate to stay relevant and in the headlines and will do anything possible. So I think she'll do it on purpose.
Bert
She's on a crazy train, too.
Caller/Guest
I think it's a good choice.
Host (Birch Show)
We were same page on that one. That's where I was going.
Caller/Guest
There's no good behavior on her part.
Host (Birch Show)
Okay, then.
Jen
Because you know which one I was thinking about picking before I picked her. Right.
Caller/Guest
And I have his name written down, too, huh?
Bert
Yeah, I have no idea.
Caller/Guest
And I think the same with him.
Host (Birch Show)
This is probably. I mean, I make this pick every time that we do the celebrity incarceration draft, and it might be the one that you have written down. Before I say it, though, let me. No, I like it. It's strong. Andy Dick.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah. Andy Dick is. Any given day, that dude can be doing something where he's going to get arrested.
Caller/Guest
And he's a behavior.
Host (Birch Show)
And he just got arrested, right?
Jen
Yes. Just like last week for what? It was for feeling up somebody at a comedy club.
Caller/Guest
Sexual harassment.
Jen
Yeah, he was. He was wasted and was groping somebody and the security guard threw him out.
Host (Birch Show)
He's a hot mess.
Caller/Guest
He's disgusting.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah, he's gross. So I'll take Andy Dick on there just because he Sort of belongs in the hall of fame of celebrity incarceration. Wendy, who you got?
Bert
I am going with Misha Barton because she last year was picked up in that ambulance at her house and taken to the hospital because she was on the crazy train and then just been really picked on in the media right now about her weight gain. So I think she's gonna fall off the wagon. So I'm going with Mischa Barton.
Host (Birch Show)
Okay, Mischa Barton. Then we've got Andy Dick, we got Tila Tequila, and we've got R. Kelly.
Jen
So next time around, Jeff will have to pick two.
Host (Birch Show)
Right, Right.
Caller/Guest
And I think, you know, Wendy's is a good pick too because a lot of times the celebrities that end up getting in trouble are the ones that don't really have a big project going on. You know what I mean? Like they are a little desperate. And Misha Barton, what has she done since the oc? Yeah, you know, nothing.
Wanda Sykes
Right?
Host (Birch Show)
Good morning t. You're on Q100.
Wanda Sykes
Hey listen, somebody needs to pick my boy, Cat Williams. That is a guaranteed good bet right there for your.
Host (Birch Show)
That would have been fantastic. He's been pretty consistent the last year getting busted, hasn't he?
Jen
Yeah, Good guy.
Andy
At least every other week anyway.
Host (Birch Show)
Yeah, right, exactly. So our next round, whoever got the first pick, probably gonna go with Catwoman.
Caller/Guest
And y' all don't email Jeff that pick.
Host (Birch Show)
I know, just don't do it.
Caller/Guest
God, y' all get on my nerves.
