We start off with a video out of Virginia of some people terrorizing a home in Halloween costumes and you could definitely call it an instructional video called "Things That Will Get You Shot In Texas". And we talk about scary movies and why Trey is afraid of them.

Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at
YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
It is time to believe your worries outside in life with
us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan ol Maley along with
Trade Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Welcome to the show. Happy
to Wali, Raj, thank you so much. It was yesterday,
Thank you so much. Well tell that to my iPhone calendar.
It says it's Tuesday twentieth. Whatever. What's the is today? Happy,
(01:00):
Happy New Year? Okay, thank you? All right, Look, let's
be honest. There are a number of ways to introduce
this first topic today inside the Treehouse, but my sights
kept returning back to one, and that is this. This
is why I have guns. Okay, Like I said, there
is no way around it, but this is why I
(01:22):
have guns.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh but this was no nightmare. It was a reality
for one Alexandria family. It happened around ten pm Tuesday
near Duke in South Jordan Streets in Alexandria.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
At first, I thought it was just a Halloween joke,
a little prank, so I say Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Shela said she thought they'd believe, but they didn't, so
She called nine one one and told them cops were
on the way, but the trio seemed unfazed.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
And they kept like knocking on the door. The knocks
will get harder and harder. When they threatened se Kylas.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
When they couldn't get in through the front, she says,
they came around back.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
This whole thing they broke down, as you could tell.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
She showed us the damage. So did they actually go
in there?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh yes, ma'am. They hopped up on here and they
came through.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
She says.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
They went right up to the glass.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
They were just hitting the window.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
She says they finally leaped after about ten minutes. Police
were at their home Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
She says, this is not a joke.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It's not even a joke gone wrong. They tried to
enter into the home. Like my heart dropped when they
say that they were going to take a chair and
break down the door. That is just too much.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
She says. It's left their whole family shaken up, especially
her mother.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
My dad recently just died, so it was just like,
I'm just glad I was there. Now she's in fear.
She don't want to stay there by herself.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
She says this could have ended much differently.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It could have been bad.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Had this been in Texas, this would have ended very
badly for the three guys outside.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I would have looked like the Texas Lottery girl with
the little bubbles that have been like nine, twelve, twenty two,
thirty eight, three eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Geezrey, What all those numbers have in common? Oh, that's right,
those are calibers the Caliber Lottery. Congratulations, you're a winner.
You're a winner. Woo you get a night, you get
a twenty two. Just a bit, just because I'm an
a hole.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Is gonna pop everyone. Not a winner, not a winner,
not a winner.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It is terrifying though, because when I first saw this
video the other day, it's like, oh, this is bad
because you've got three guys standing outside a home. It's
the black and white ring camera, and the three guys
are all dressed up in creepy Halloween costumes. One is
dressed up in a scary clown, which is bad enough
on his own, but then he brought his friends Michael
Myers and the screepy and the creepy scary witch lady
(03:47):
with him, and then it is crazy about this new story.
In addition to all of it. Besides the visuals is
the fact that they're outside for ten minutes, for ten minutes,
for ten minutes, these three wackos are outside dressed a
scary Halloween characters trying to break into this woman's home.
And I know it's trite, and I said it already,
but this story ends very differently if this is in
(04:09):
Texas instead of Virginia. Also, this story ends very differently
if this is outside my house, because if this is
my house, I would run to my closet and put
on my finest suit because I'm about to live out
my John Wick fever dream. Because my costume beats their costume,
(04:29):
especially in a firefight in real life. Yeah, it beats
their costume, mostly to death with the bull of a Benelli.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
But it's they were out there for ten minutes and
no police showed up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, apparently response times are down across the country because
it was the next day. That's when they showed up.
Was the next morning. Yeah, the guys, the guys are
outside for ten minutes. I don't know if it's because, look,
the police already have a difficult job. Nine to one
one up raiders already have immensely difficult jobs. I don't
know if that call gets put out differently, if she's screaming,
(05:08):
someone has broken into my home and they're here as
opposed to guys are outside dressed as Halloween characters. So
you know, they may not have seen it as being
any real danger and it ended up as not being
any real danger to their physical person. But it is
terrifying as you know the.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Victim, Well, there's yeah, it would have he It would
have scared me the hell out of me, just if
the people are that crazy in this day and age
to do that. But the minute they started jimmying like
the screw with the handle of the door, that that
changes everything.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, that to me is more of a than my
back door. Yep, I heard it. Yep. Did you hear
it when you said it? Yeah, but I finished the
sentence anyway. I was committed. I wanted to see it through.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Yeah, but that's lot of assumption because let's say the
call got dispatched, however, and something tragic does happen. Oh yeah,
the lawsuit that is on their hands absolutely is. I mean,
she might they might as well name it after the
police department, after her or the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
City as well, and the new law that would go
into effect.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, because that is that was weird that you know
that nobody showed up because they and they and they waited.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Even though they were threatened with being with the police.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Being on the phone, they still stayed outside. I guess
they knew that there weren't any police coming. It also
depends on the neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods cops don't want to
go into.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So there's any number of things that could have gone wrong.
There is twenty three seconds left on this story, so
I'm curious to see if this reporter actually went to
the police to get some type of statement as she
should have.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I Second Amendment right not used and could have been
like being very transparent.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
To the people behind these masks.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
That was given grown grown up activity. The timeframe alone
ten o'clock at night to knock on someone's door and
costume is never okay. Halloween not Halloween. It's never okay now.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
If anything, it actually means because it is Halloween, everyone's
sensitivities are heightened. So if you're not acting in a
normal Halloween fashion, but instead you're acting more like the
character you're dressed up as, then we're all gonna live
out some type of a movie. That's why I always
dress as a sexy nurse.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
No one shoots the sexy nurse, not at all, at
least not with a gun.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I guarantee the police show up on that call. Swat team, squad, motorcycles,
canines are showing up because they want some to.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
This was a bad idea. I should have just gone
as doctor sy Okay, Yeah, I was trying to see,
uh where the bumper button is.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I was trying to see if what if the police
said anything. Did they uh they talk about you know,
it's interesting. It really doesn't mention a nine to one
call in the story.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In the story that you read, of the one that
we just played.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm pretty sure I've got the same story, and it
really did mention a nine to one one call, which
is what's interesting. Yes, the police said I talked about
the dangers of doing stupid stuff like that in costumes.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I love that police statement, which is true, which is,
you know, play stupid games, win stuper prizes, and it's true.
Let me let me go back to the beginning of
this story. I'm curious to see if they actually mentioned
that they called.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Nine one one.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But this was no nightmare. It was a reality for
one Alexandria family. It happened around ten pm Tuesday near
Duke in South Jordan Streets in Alexandria.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
At first, I thought it was just a Halloween joke,
a little prank, so I say Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
She Ala said she thought they'd believe, but they didn't.
So she called nine one one and told them comps
were on the way.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
But the trio seemed unfazed.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
And they kept like knocking on the door. The knocks
will get harder and harder, all.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Right, So she says she called nine one one, But
that's usually the part in the video package that the
reporter and the producer will put in an excerpt from
the nine to one one call, But that's definitely not
in this well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And and also it goes to how you called nine
one one? If she just called said, hey, there's some
people in costumes at my door. That's not gonna get
you know. Hey, they're trying to break in. I'm about
to shoot somebody. Get someone over here quick.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, I'm about to get a Yeah. Well, if you
murdered Michael Myers, then I'm sure someone will will show up.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Or if she didn't call and she was just threatening
them by saying the police are on the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And that it will run away. Yeah, because she because
she says to the reporter that she told the guys
that she called nine one one and threatened and said
the police are on their way. So I guess, ultimately,
do we smell a stinky here? Is this just a
BS story and that's why the police didn't show up.
(11:10):
That's why there's no nine to one one call in
this package.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
No, but I've seen that, sorry, I've seen that happen before,
where somebody's like, Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna call the
cops right now, and people will scurry, people will leave.
So I think that's what she was trying to do.
I legitimately think this happened to her. I think she
was just trying to scare them off with the threat
of the police being on the phone, and they didn't leave.
That's when she should have actually called the cops. Because
(11:35):
a eighteen hour response time is not it's not really good.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, especially especially when someone is dressed up as a
scary nun doing the throat slash motion with their hand
out in front of your wing camera.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Did somebody accidentally send them an invite to the purge early?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know, if anything be fashionably late.

Eight three three Cook DFW. That's one of my favorite
phone numbers. That's the one I called to Pester Daniel
and Carrie Cook whenever I feel like it. And you
can do that as well. They absolutely love it, especially
if you didn't get the last If you didn't get
last night's Loto numbers, they'll tell you that too. Eight
three three Cook DFW. They'd prefer to come out and
check your roof, check your property to see if there's
(12:37):
anything in need, and they'll be honest with you about it.
Eight three three Cook d FW. Daniel, do you play
the lottery? Honestly?
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Not really?
Speaker 10 (12:46):
No, very rarely buy a ticket here and there when
they get really big pots, But no, we're not a
very big gambling family in general at all.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You just love climbing on roofs and helping people.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
That's it, I mean, And you wake up every morning
you go where can I go climb today?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
For free?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I wonder how good of a rock climber I would
be I've never done that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You go find out and make sure Carrie's recording it.
Perhaps live streaming it would even be better in case
you fall, and I would start with one of those
I think they call it bouldering. It's where instead of
starting with a mountain, you just start with a really
big rock and see if you can climb that. If
you can climb that, then you can graduate to bigger
and bigger rocks. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
I'm pretty confident in that though. I think that would
be kind of fun. At first, before going outside, I
was thinking about finding those rock walls or those wall
climbing things.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think that's a great idea. I bet you're part monkey. Well,
now we got confirmation. Get this man on your roof
where he feels like he's in his natural habitat eight

All right, here we go back to the masked trio
attempting to break into this woman's house in Virginia, which
(15:01):
now I'm completely suspicious off by the way, because I
think there's at least three different ways that this could
have gone, depending on whether or not this was true.
If it's one hundred percent completely true, and she called
nine to one one on these guys outside, the story
in this story needs to be the response time of
(15:23):
the police. Okay, not just there were three guys on
a ring came outside this lady's door number two. If
there's a stinky, if there's a bit of a stinky
here about this all just being a hoax? Is this
is this a hoax, then that's something else that should
(15:44):
come with this story. And if she did not actually
call nine one one, is that because she's in on
the hoax? Or the third part is this sort of
a partial stinky, in which case the guys outside were real.
She's afraid, but she only threatens to call nine one
one but never does it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think there's a d that is she did call
nine one one, but she wasn't. It's not good audio
because she was calm. She was like, Hey, there's some
people that you know in costume kind of messing around
in the front yard. Can you send someone over here?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And and let's play this out. Trey, here we go.
I haven't done a nine one one call on the
fly here in quite a while, So Trey, you'll be
the complainant and I'll be the nine one one call operator.
See how do they used to do that with Hello, Hm,
Treehouse ninety one one, what's your emergency?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hey, we've got some kids out front that are that
are messing with our house and they keep bringing on
our doorbell and uh, but they're not running away. Can
you send somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
With candy wine? Because this sounds like trick or treaters, sir.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, but it's not Halloween. We're not doing trigger treating.
And they're just and and they're they're kind of messing
with the door handle. Yeah. I think they're trying to
be cute and scary.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
But well that is how most children act on Halloween,
cute and or it's scary. You said they're not going
you don't interrupt me, sir, I'm the nine one one operator.
You said that they're they're asking for candy or have
they made any demands at all?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
They want us to come outside, and they're threatening and
they're grown men.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
How do you know they're grown men.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Because they're over six feet tall and they have fairly
deep voices.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, have you ever seen those cartoons while all the
children stand on each other's shoulders?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Are you sure they're not just doing that and playing
Halloween prank on you?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Have you ever seen those cartoons where the bad guy
gets filled with holes like Swiss cheese?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, those are my favorite.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
To send someone.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Quick, we'll just go ahead and see the coroner anyway. Yeah,
I see your point there, Trey. That's and again that's
where we go back to Hey, journalism one on one
follow up with the police department. Did do you have
a nine one one call on record from this person?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Here's the thing is, and this is why I bet
they did. I think the ring camera made for spectacular video.
The nine to one called on one call did not,
And so that's why they have a story just with
that ring I mean, think about how many this thing's
been all over the news. I mean it's I said,
it made good, good video. I just I think because honestly,
(18:32):
if they had been frantic calling nine one one and
no one showed up till hours later, that would be
part of the story.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It should be. So I wonder, if you're right, I
wonder if the TV crew was so turned on by
the video of the ring camera they forgot about all
the rest of journalism about following up with the authorities
in a police matter. I like, basically, as soon as
they got the ring camera foot is downloaded into the
(19:01):
news truck outside, they splooshed so much that the van
was washed away in a flash flood, and they forgot
to call the police and say, hey, do you hear
anything about this?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, they got statement, their statements from the police in there.
The chief of police gave a statement That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Is huh, and what did what did? What did the
chiefs say?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Basically, you know, be careful when trigger treating, don't don't
go messing around and go too far something like that.
I mean, uh, it's like I said, they got a statement.
I just I think the nine to one one call
was very anti climatic. And that's why this isn't a
story about response times.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Because she mentions one, and I mean she could have
shot them. She says that out loud. She shows the
damage where they did break stuff in I mean, like
they broke the fence.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So there's my theory. There's my theory. My theory is
she's had a broken fence for a long time and
she finally came up with your creative way to get
it fixed.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
That's a very elaborate way of doing that, especially when
there's a child in the house.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
As a child, where's the child? She mentions her daughter
in the story, doesn't she she's terrified. She doesn't want to.
I can mention cake next to me that the me
is sitting there.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Now you're trying to find that now you're trying to
make the story false.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yes, I'm just saying, Look, people have done way worse.
People have concocted horrific, made up things just for attention.
All I'm saying is that it is possible. She mentions
a kid. We don't see a kid, she says, she
calls nine one one. We don't hear a nine one
one call. She says, she could have shot them, but
(20:46):
we don't know that.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Right, that's a that's a very elaborate. So the amount
of money gone into this hoax could have paid.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
For the fence. Actually everything she did was free. Well,
the guys that are in the costume, they have to
buy all of that stuff. Well, see what what they
what they do is they go get a part time
job at the haunted house in the costume tame. Here
we go. Now here's what it happened was we're all
working at spirit just just a week can get a
(21:17):
fence fixed and not have to pay for it and
make fifteen dollars an hour. Couldn't you have just paid
for that with the money you made?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Man, that's crazy? Well are you talking foolish?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I'd like to circle a back around to a
statement you made earlier about your back door getting broken into.

So the ring doorbell camera of the masked trio outside
(23:29):
trying to get inside that home in Virginia reminded me
of one of the scariest movies I've seen. To me,
the scariest movie I've seen came out and I think
it was two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine,
starring Liv Tyler The Strangers, and make sure I got
that so it was co starring Scott Speedman. Yeah, came
(23:53):
out in two thousand and eight. The Strangers, Liv Tyler,
Scott Speedman, James Hoyt, and Kristen McKay visit an i'slated
vacation home to enjoy some time together. However, they're in
for a rude surprise when three masked assailants make their
stay a nightmare. Have you guys seen this? No, I
think you are the only one. No, I wasn't. No,
(24:14):
this is a great movie. You should see it. This
is not one of the like me saying going, no,
you should watch all five of the American Ninja movies
starring Michael Dudakov, of which he's not even in all
of them. I am simply saying The Strangers from two
thousand and eight is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen,
and I highly recommend it.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
If you don't know this about me, I am a
total pussy when it comes to scary movies.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I appreciate you. I appreciate you being so vulnerable. Tray,
that's hilarious.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I would never pick that these two grown men with
guns are scared of scary movies. They make me laugh
because this is how I trust me. This is how
my brain works. I'm like, behind that camera is a
craft services table. That's how I look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Like, there's nothing nice.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Scary.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I don't like gore. Okay, so you don't like blood
and guts and yeah, so The Strangers to me. The
reason why I said scariest is because it really is
a freakishly suspenseful film. It is exactly like the description
I gave a couple of goes to Basically, they go
(25:26):
to this vacation home out and you know, at the
edge of town, almost to the woods. Three strangers show
up wearing masks that in any other context would would
not be threatening or scary, but in this context they're terrifying.
And they're outside and they eventually start getting in and
things happen, and it's scary, it's suspenseful. And I mean
(25:48):
it when I say it really is one of the
scariest movies I've seen. And I appreciate that. And Raj,
I'm with you. There are some scary movies that also
will just make me laugh, and those are not scary
to me. Those that's like the slasher type stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
But even like the suspenseful stuff, I'm like, like, the
whole time I would be watching this movie, I'm like,
it's a damn shame Aerosmith isn't gonna tour anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Like that's all I want. Does anyone else? Does anyone
in the theater know? Liv Tyler got her break in
an Aerosmith video after not long after she learned, Oh,
by the way, your dad Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith. She
was great in crying. Oh yeah, she was a phenomenal stripper.
(26:29):
Dad's video. Yeah, he must be so proud. There are
questions to be asked there, but that's a different segment.
But may I always may I ask this, why do
as as.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
As white people, why is it always a cabin in
the woods where there's nobody else around and there's this
You get there and like, uh.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't I don't think I have cell service? What
what are you guys doing? What is this? Are you
asking about what we're doing in real life going to
a cabin or are you asking our predilection for films
about it? Yes? Yes, and yes, Look, I think as
people were scared, and this is true of me. We're
scared of the things that seem most realistic. Right, So
(27:11):
to me, this scenario of the strangers slash the mask
trio outside, that is scary because that is potentially real
that you know, Freddy Krueger as an adult Freddy Krueger
doesn't frighten me because I know he's not real. Same
with Jason the leprechauns real. Don't mess around with that.
That's bad. Is a tree? Yeah he is, and he's
(27:33):
watching you. I've I've seen the sketch of him. It's
very dangerous. Don't take his gold anyway. Those types of
things are legitimately frightening. Okay, and if you see the film,
I think you might feel differently. I don't know, Raj.
You might still giggle your way through The Strangers. You
might still think what did the Tyler have for lunch
with on the craft services table? I don't know. But Trey,
(27:55):
if if you are saying that you're you're a big
puss when it comes to scary movies, then please see
The Strangers or let me watch it with you.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, here's why I am a my dad who I
love him, God rest the soul. But he had horrible,
horrible judgment when it came to movies.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
To take a trial too. Hang on, because I have
a theory on this. Was this after your parents split
he took you to the theater to questionable films? Or
is this when you're like your family was still.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Is the divorce did not change his poor judgment in movies?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Never mind? It was always my dad saying I think
that I thought that was something. My theory was that
that was like a divorced dad thing. You take the
kid to go see whatever movie he wants because you
want to be cool. And that's how I saw Jason
takes Manhattan his.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Dad's like, we're gonna go to the Dad's like, we're
gonna go watch this movie called Kramer Versus Kramer.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I think it's a boxing movie walking out. That is
not what I expected. I'm so sorry, son, No, he
took me to.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So there's a Vincent Price movie called House of Wax.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Beautiful movie.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Okay when you're like four or five years old, petrifying.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Yeah, so you know, my family lived in England, so
my dad was a huge Vincent Price man.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I got to see the same thing.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Like when I was like, my Dad's like, you gotta
watch this movie, and like there's one where the girls,
like I.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Think the blonde girl that they he puts the first
one he puts in wax. I think she's topless. I
was like, hey, Dad's got great taste in movies. She melts. Gee, no,
wonder why you have such an awkward relationship with women.
I really I really like your skin. Can can I
(29:48):
pourt some candlehacks on it?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And just go back to what you were saying. I'm like, so,
because you guys do go to cabins like that. When
you're watching something like that, you're like, oh my gosh,
that could happen. See, we don't you want to scare me,
like have three intruders that are Hampton.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
In Jehovah's Witnesses. You know some places where Indians go
or Dan it just shakes his ass, goes not my
back door.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
All right, I'm gonna let you in, but I'm gonna
lace some brown rolls. First of all, Matt Mask stay
on and yeah, we are gonna layce some tart. But
not for the reasons you think.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Eye contact.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I rebooted the Strangers. It's very different from well, look
who picked the wrong house. That would be amazing. Just
imagine if you if you knew these guys are in
your neighborhood, the Mask Trio, and you decide to use
the strap on from seven and open up the front
door and say, come on in, Oh oh, where are
(31:13):
you going? Anyway? For all things Treehouse, Treehouseonair dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
It is time to believe your worries outside in life with
us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan ol Maley along with
Trade Trendholm and Raj Sharma. Welcome to the show. Happy
to Wali, Raj, thank you so much. It was yesterday,
Thank you so much. Well tell that to my iPhone calendar.
It says it's Tuesday twentieth. Whatever. What's the is today? Happy,
(01:00):
Happy New Year? Okay, thank you? All right, Look, let's
be honest. There are a number of ways to introduce
this first topic today inside the Treehouse, but my sights
kept returning back to one, and that is this. This
is why I have guns. Okay, Like I said, there
is no way around it, but this is why I
(01:22):
have guns.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh but this was no nightmare. It was a reality
for one Alexandria family. It happened around ten pm Tuesday
near Duke in South Jordan Streets in Alexandria.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
At first, I thought it was just a Halloween joke,
a little prank, so I say Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Shela said she thought they'd believe, but they didn't, so
She called nine one one and told them cops were
on the way, but the trio seemed unfazed.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
And they kept like knocking on the door. The knocks
will get harder and harder. When they threatened se Kylas.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
When they couldn't get in through the front, she says,
they came around back.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
This whole thing they broke down, as you could tell.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
She showed us the damage. So did they actually go
in there?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh yes, ma'am. They hopped up on here and they
came through.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
She says.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
They went right up to the glass.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
They were just hitting the window.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
She says they finally leaped after about ten minutes. Police
were at their home Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
She says, this is not a joke.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It's not even a joke gone wrong. They tried to
enter into the home. Like my heart dropped when they
say that they were going to take a chair and
break down the door. That is just too much.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
She says. It's left their whole family shaken up, especially
her mother.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
My dad recently just died, so it was just like,
I'm just glad I was there. Now she's in fear.
She don't want to stay there by herself.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
She says this could have ended much differently.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It could have been bad.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Had this been in Texas, this would have ended very
badly for the three guys outside.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I would have looked like the Texas Lottery girl with
the little bubbles that have been like nine, twelve, twenty two,
thirty eight, three eighty.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Geezrey, What all those numbers have in common? Oh, that's right,
those are calibers the Caliber Lottery. Congratulations, you're a winner.
You're a winner. Woo you get a night, you get
a twenty two. Just a bit, just because I'm an
a hole.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Is gonna pop everyone. Not a winner, not a winner,
not a winner.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It is terrifying though, because when I first saw this
video the other day, it's like, oh, this is bad
because you've got three guys standing outside a home. It's
the black and white ring camera, and the three guys
are all dressed up in creepy Halloween costumes. One is
dressed up in a scary clown, which is bad enough
on his own, but then he brought his friends Michael
Myers and the screepy and the creepy scary witch lady
(03:47):
with him, and then it is crazy about this new story.
In addition to all of it. Besides the visuals is
the fact that they're outside for ten minutes, for ten minutes,
for ten minutes, these three wackos are outside dressed a
scary Halloween characters trying to break into this woman's home.
And I know it's trite, and I said it already,
but this story ends very differently if this is in
(04:09):
Texas instead of Virginia. Also, this story ends very differently
if this is outside my house, because if this is
my house, I would run to my closet and put
on my finest suit because I'm about to live out
my John Wick fever dream. Because my costume beats their costume,
(04:29):
especially in a firefight in real life. Yeah, it beats
their costume, mostly to death with the bull of a Benelli.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
But it's they were out there for ten minutes and
no police showed up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, apparently response times are down across the country because
it was the next day. That's when they showed up.
Was the next morning. Yeah, the guys, the guys are
outside for ten minutes. I don't know if it's because, look,
the police already have a difficult job. Nine to one
one up raiders already have immensely difficult jobs. I don't
know if that call gets put out differently, if she's screaming,
(05:08):
someone has broken into my home and they're here as
opposed to guys are outside dressed as Halloween characters. So
you know, they may not have seen it as being
any real danger and it ended up as not being
any real danger to their physical person. But it is
terrifying as you know the.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Victim, Well, there's yeah, it would have he It would
have scared me the hell out of me, just if
the people are that crazy in this day and age
to do that. But the minute they started jimmying like
the screw with the handle of the door, that that
changes everything.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, that to me is more of a than my
back door. Yep, I heard it. Yep. Did you hear
it when you said it? Yeah, but I finished the
sentence anyway. I was committed. I wanted to see it through.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Yeah, but that's lot of assumption because let's say the
call got dispatched, however, and something tragic does happen. Oh yeah,
the lawsuit that is on their hands absolutely is. I mean,
she might they might as well name it after the
police department, after her or the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
City as well, and the new law that would go
into effect.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Yeah, because that is that was weird that you know
that nobody showed up because they and they and they waited.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Even though they were threatened with being with the police.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Being on the phone, they still stayed outside. I guess
they knew that there weren't any police coming. It also
depends on the neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods cops don't want to
go into.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So there's any number of things that could have gone wrong.
There is twenty three seconds left on this story, so
I'm curious to see if this reporter actually went to
the police to get some type of statement as she
should have.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I Second Amendment right not used and could have been
like being very transparent.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
To the people behind these masks.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
That was given grown grown up activity. The timeframe alone
ten o'clock at night to knock on someone's door and
costume is never okay. Halloween not Halloween. It's never okay now.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
If anything, it actually means because it is Halloween, everyone's
sensitivities are heightened. So if you're not acting in a
normal Halloween fashion, but instead you're acting more like the
character you're dressed up as, then we're all gonna live
out some type of a movie. That's why I always
dress as a sexy nurse.
Speaker 8 (07:44):
No one shoots the sexy nurse, not at all, at
least not with a gun.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I guarantee the police show up on that call. Swat team, squad, motorcycles,
canines are showing up because they want some to.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
This was a bad idea. I should have just gone
as doctor sy Okay, Yeah, I was trying to see,
uh where the bumper button is.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I was trying to see if what if the police
said anything. Did they uh they talk about you know,
it's interesting. It really doesn't mention a nine to one
call in the story.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In the story that you read, of the one that
we just played.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm pretty sure I've got the same story, and it
really did mention a nine to one one call, which
is what's interesting. Yes, the police said I talked about
the dangers of doing stupid stuff like that in costumes.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I love that police statement, which is true, which is,
you know, play stupid games, win stuper prizes, and it's true.
Let me let me go back to the beginning of
this story. I'm curious to see if they actually mentioned
that they called.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Nine one one.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But this was no nightmare. It was a reality for
one Alexandria family. It happened around ten pm Tuesday near
Duke in South Jordan Streets in Alexandria.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
At first, I thought it was just a Halloween joke,
a little prank, so I say Happy Halloween.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
She Ala said she thought they'd believe, but they didn't.
So she called nine one one and told them comps
were on the way.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
But the trio seemed unfazed.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
And they kept like knocking on the door. The knocks
will get harder and harder, all.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Right, So she says she called nine one one, But
that's usually the part in the video package that the
reporter and the producer will put in an excerpt from
the nine to one one call, But that's definitely not
in this well.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And and also it goes to how you called nine
one one? If she just called said, hey, there's some
people in costumes at my door. That's not gonna get
you know. Hey, they're trying to break in. I'm about
to shoot somebody. Get someone over here quick.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, I'm about to get a Yeah. Well, if you
murdered Michael Myers, then I'm sure someone will will show up.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Or if she didn't call and she was just threatening
them by saying the police are on the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And that it will run away. Yeah, because she because
she says to the reporter that she told the guys
that she called nine one one and threatened and said
the police are on their way. So I guess, ultimately,
do we smell a stinky here? Is this just a
BS story and that's why the police didn't show up.
(11:10):
That's why there's no nine to one one call in
this package.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
No, but I've seen that, sorry, I've seen that happen before,
where somebody's like, Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna call the
cops right now, and people will scurry, people will leave.
So I think that's what she was trying to do.
I legitimately think this happened to her. I think she
was just trying to scare them off with the threat
of the police being on the phone, and they didn't leave.
That's when she should have actually called the cops. Because
(11:35):
a eighteen hour response time is not it's not really good.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
No, especially especially when someone is dressed up as a
scary nun doing the throat slash motion with their hand
out in front of your wing camera.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Did somebody accidentally send them an invite to the purge early?
Speaker 2 (11:54):

anything in need, and they'll be honest with you about it.

the lottery? Honestly?
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Not really?
Speaker 10 (12:46):
No, very rarely buy a ticket here and there when
they get really big pots, But no, we're not a
very big gambling family in general at all.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You just love climbing on roofs and helping people.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
That's it, I mean, And you wake up every morning
you go where can I go climb today?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
For free?
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I wonder how good of a rock climber I would
be I've never done that.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You go find out and make sure Carrie's recording it.
Perhaps live streaming it would even be better in case
you fall, and I would start with one of those
I think they call it bouldering. It's where instead of
starting with a mountain, you just start with a really
big rock and see if you can climb that. If
you can climb that, then you can graduate to bigger
and bigger rocks. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
I'm pretty confident in that though. I think that would
be kind of fun. At first, before going outside, I
was thinking about finding those rock walls or those wall
climbing things.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I think that's a great idea. I bet you're part monkey. Well,
now we got confirmation. Get this man on your roof

so stay tuned right here inside the Treehouse for that.
All right, here we go back to the masked trio
attempting to break into this woman's house in Virginia, which
(15:01):
now I'm completely suspicious off by the way, because I
think there's at least three different ways that this could
have gone, depending on whether or not this was true.
If it's one hundred percent completely true, and she called
nine to one one on these guys outside, the story
in this story needs to be the response time of
(15:23):
the police. Okay, not just there were three guys on
a ring came outside this lady's door number two. If
there's a stinky, if there's a bit of a stinky
here about this all just being a hoax? Is this
is this a hoax, then that's something else that should
(15:44):
come with this story. And if she did not actually
call nine one one, is that because she's in on
the hoax? Or the third part is this sort of
a partial stinky, in which case the guys outside were real.
She's afraid, but she only threatens to call nine one
one but never does it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think there's a d that is she did call
nine one one, but she wasn't. It's not good audio
because she was calm. She was like, Hey, there's some
people that you know in costume kind of messing around
in the front yard. Can you send someone over here?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And and let's play this out. Trey, here we go.
I haven't done a nine one one call on the
fly here in quite a while, So Trey, you'll be
the complainant and I'll be the nine one one call operator.
See how do they used to do that with Hello, Hm,
Treehouse ninety one one, what's your emergency?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hey, we've got some kids out front that are that
are messing with our house and they keep bringing on
our doorbell and uh, but they're not running away. Can
you send somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
With candy wine? Because this sounds like trick or treaters, sir.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, but it's not Halloween. We're not doing trigger treating.
And they're just and and they're they're kind of messing
with the door handle. Yeah. I think they're trying to
be cute and scary.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
But well that is how most children act on Halloween,
cute and or it's scary. You said they're not going
you don't interrupt me, sir, I'm the nine one one operator.
You said that they're they're asking for candy or have
they made any demands at all?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
They want us to come outside, and they're threatening and
they're grown men.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
How do you know they're grown men.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Because they're over six feet tall and they have fairly
deep voices.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Well, have you ever seen those cartoons while all the
children stand on each other's shoulders?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Are you sure they're not just doing that and playing
Halloween prank on you?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Have you ever seen those cartoons where the bad guy
gets filled with holes like Swiss cheese?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, those are my favorite.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
To send someone.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Quick, we'll just go ahead and see the coroner anyway. Yeah,
I see your point there, Trey. That's and again that's
where we go back to Hey, journalism one on one
follow up with the police department. Did do you have
a nine one one call on record from this person?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Here's the thing is, and this is why I bet
they did. I think the ring camera made for spectacular video.
The nine to one called on one call did not,
And so that's why they have a story just with
that ring I mean, think about how many this thing's
been all over the news. I mean it's I said,
it made good, good video. I just I think because honestly,
(18:32):
if they had been frantic calling nine one one and
no one showed up till hours later, that would be
part of the story.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It should be. So I wonder, if you're right, I
wonder if the TV crew was so turned on by
the video of the ring camera they forgot about all
the rest of journalism about following up with the authorities
in a police matter. I like, basically, as soon as
they got the ring camera foot is downloaded into the
(19:01):
news truck outside, they splooshed so much that the van
was washed away in a flash flood, and they forgot
to call the police and say, hey, do you hear
anything about this?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, they got statement, their statements from the police in there.
The chief of police gave a statement That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Is huh, and what did what did? What did the
chiefs say?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Basically, you know, be careful when trigger treating, don't don't
go messing around and go too far something like that.
I mean, uh, it's like I said, they got a statement.
I just I think the nine to one one call
was very anti climatic. And that's why this isn't a
story about response times.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Because she mentions one, and I mean she could have
shot them. She says that out loud. She shows the
damage where they did break stuff in I mean, like
they broke the fence.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So there's my theory. There's my theory. My theory is
she's had a broken fence for a long time and
she finally came up with your creative way to get
it fixed.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
That's a very elaborate way of doing that, especially when
there's a child in the house.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
As a child, where's the child? She mentions her daughter
in the story, doesn't she she's terrified. She doesn't want to.
I can mention cake next to me that the me
is sitting there.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Now you're trying to find that now you're trying to
make the story false.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yes, I'm just saying, Look, people have done way worse.
People have concocted horrific, made up things just for attention.
All I'm saying is that it is possible. She mentions
a kid. We don't see a kid, she says, she
calls nine one one. We don't hear a nine one
one call. She says, she could have shot them, but
(20:46):
we don't know that.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Right, that's a that's a very elaborate. So the amount
of money gone into this hoax could have paid.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
For the fence. Actually everything she did was free. Well,
the guys that are in the costume, they have to
buy all of that stuff. Well, see what what they
what they do is they go get a part time
job at the haunted house in the costume tame. Here
we go. Now here's what it happened was we're all
working at spirit just just a week can get a
(21:17):
fence fixed and not have to pay for it and
make fifteen dollars an hour. Couldn't you have just paid
for that with the money you made?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Nah?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Man, that's crazy? Well are you talking foolish?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I'd like to circle a back around to a
statement you made earlier about your back door getting broken into.

So the ring doorbell camera of the masked trio outside
(23:29):
trying to get inside that home in Virginia reminded me
of one of the scariest movies I've seen. To me,
the scariest movie I've seen came out and I think
it was two thousand and eight or two thousand and nine,
starring Liv Tyler The Strangers, and make sure I got
that so it was co starring Scott Speedman. Yeah, came
(23:53):
out in two thousand and eight. The Strangers, Liv Tyler,
Scott Speedman, James Hoyt, and Kristen McKay visit an i'slated
vacation home to enjoy some time together. However, they're in
for a rude surprise when three masked assailants make their
stay a nightmare. Have you guys seen this? No, I
think you are the only one. No, I wasn't. No,
(24:14):
this is a great movie. You should see it. This
is not one of the like me saying going, no,
you should watch all five of the American Ninja movies
starring Michael Dudakov, of which he's not even in all
of them. I am simply saying The Strangers from two
thousand and eight is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen,
and I highly recommend it.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
If you don't know this about me, I am a
total pussy when it comes to scary movies.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I appreciate you. I appreciate you being so vulnerable. Tray,
that's hilarious.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I would never pick that these two grown men with
guns are scared of scary movies. They make me laugh
because this is how I trust me. This is how
my brain works. I'm like, behind that camera is a
craft services table. That's how I look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Like, there's nothing nice.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Scary.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I don't like gore. Okay, so you don't like blood
and guts and yeah, so The Strangers to me. The
reason why I said scariest is because it really is
a freakishly suspenseful film. It is exactly like the description
I gave a couple of goes to Basically, they go
(25:26):
to this vacation home out and you know, at the
edge of town, almost to the woods. Three strangers show
up wearing masks that in any other context would would
not be threatening or scary, but in this context they're terrifying.
And they're outside and they eventually start getting in and
things happen, and it's scary, it's suspenseful. And I mean
(25:48):
it when I say it really is one of the
scariest movies I've seen. And I appreciate that. And Raj,
I'm with you. There are some scary movies that also
will just make me laugh, and those are not scary
to me. Those that's like the slasher type stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
But even like the suspenseful stuff, I'm like, like, the
whole time I would be watching this movie, I'm like,
it's a damn shame Aerosmith isn't gonna tour anymore.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Like that's all I want. Does anyone else? Does anyone
in the theater know? Liv Tyler got her break in
an Aerosmith video after not long after she learned, Oh,
by the way, your dad Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith. She
was great in crying. Oh yeah, she was a phenomenal stripper.
(26:29):
Dad's video. Yeah, he must be so proud. There are
questions to be asked there, but that's a different segment.
But may I always may I ask this, why do
as as.
Speaker 7 (26:40):
As white people, why is it always a cabin in
the woods where there's nobody else around and there's this
You get there and like, uh.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I don't I don't think I have cell service? What
what are you guys doing? What is this? Are you
asking about what we're doing in real life going to
a cabin or are you asking our predilection for films
about it? Yes? Yes, and yes, Look, I think as
people were scared, and this is true of me. We're
scared of the things that seem most realistic. Right, So
(27:11):
to me, this scenario of the strangers slash the mask
trio outside, that is scary because that is potentially real
that you know, Freddy Krueger as an adult Freddy Krueger
doesn't frighten me because I know he's not real. Same
with Jason the leprechauns real. Don't mess around with that.
That's bad. Is a tree? Yeah he is, and he's
(27:33):
watching you. I've I've seen the sketch of him. It's
very dangerous. Don't take his gold anyway. Those types of
things are legitimately frightening. Okay, and if you see the film,
I think you might feel differently. I don't know, Raj.
You might still giggle your way through The Strangers. You
might still think what did the Tyler have for lunch
with on the craft services table? I don't know. But Trey,
(27:55):
if if you are saying that you're you're a big
puss when it comes to scary movies, then please see
The Strangers or let me watch it with you.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, here's why I am a my dad who I
love him, God rest the soul. But he had horrible,
horrible judgment when it came to movies.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
To take a trial too. Hang on, because I have
a theory on this. Was this after your parents split
he took you to the theater to questionable films? Or
is this when you're like your family was still.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Is the divorce did not change his poor judgment in movies?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Never mind? It was always my dad saying I think
that I thought that was something. My theory was that
that was like a divorced dad thing. You take the
kid to go see whatever movie he wants because you
want to be cool. And that's how I saw Jason
takes Manhattan his.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Dad's like, we're gonna go to the Dad's like, we're
gonna go watch this movie called Kramer Versus Kramer.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I think it's a boxing movie walking out. That is
not what I expected. I'm so sorry, son, No, he
took me to.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
So there's a Vincent Price movie called House of Wax.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Beautiful movie.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Okay when you're like four or five years old, petrifying.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Yeah, so you know, my family lived in England, so
my dad was a huge Vincent Price man.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I got to see the same thing.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Like when I was like, my Dad's like, you gotta
watch this movie, and like there's one where the girls,
like I.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Think the blonde girl that they he puts the first
one he puts in wax. I think she's topless. I
was like, hey, Dad's got great taste in movies. She melts. Gee, no,
wonder why you have such an awkward relationship with women.
I really I really like your skin. Can can I
(29:48):
pourt some candlehacks on it?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And just go back to what you were saying. I'm like, so,
because you guys do go to cabins like that. When
you're watching something like that, you're like, oh my gosh,
that could happen. See, we don't you want to scare me,
like have three intruders that are Hampton.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
In Jehovah's Witnesses. You know some places where Indians go
or Dan it just shakes his ass, goes not my
back door.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
All right, I'm gonna let you in, but I'm gonna
lace some brown rolls. First of all, Matt Mask stay
on and yeah, we are gonna layce some tart. But
not for the reasons you think.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Eye contact.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I rebooted the Strangers. It's very different from well, look
who picked the wrong house. That would be amazing. Just
imagine if you if you knew these guys are in
your neighborhood, the Mask Trio, and you decide to use
the strap on from seven and open up the front
door and say, come on in, Oh oh, where are
(31:13):
you going? Anyway? For all things Treehouse, Treehouseonair dot com.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
