Shut up and give me murder. Let's do this, everybody. Let's go on a trip, shall we? We are going to head west this week. We've been doing a lot of East Coast stuff lately. Not on purpose, it's just kind of the way it worked out. We're going to go west and go to Nevada this week.

It's been a long time since we've been in Nevada, honestly. Nevada is a difficult state for murders because most of the murders take place in the two cities. Either Reno or Vegas. So it's very hard to find them in the middle of nowhere because like 97% of the population lives in those two cities. So it's difficult. And then across the bridge in Sparks, I've heard. Yeah, I consider that the Reno area, though. That's all.

Tämä on Minden, Nevada. Minden, Nevada. Se on lähellä Kaliforniasta. Se on noin 30 minuuttia Lake Tahoean. Noin 50 minuuttia Riinasta. Se on noin noin 50 minuuttia Riinasta.

45 minuuttia Inclined Village-Nevadaan. Viimeinen Nevada-episodi, 5.62. Eli noin 100 epiodeista ennen. Se oli keväällä, kun teimme sen. Se oli murta Slyde Mountainin kanssa. Muistat, kun auto meni ylös ja kaveri pysähtyi kohdallaan? Se oli hieno tapaus. Nevada on aina hieno.

This is in Douglas County, area code 775. Population here 3,335. Not a lot of people here. Very small. Median household income a bit above the national average, $78,375.

Suomessa se on 69 000 euroa. Suomessa peruskosti on, wow, 649 700 euroa. Peruskosti? Peruskosti. Miksi? Koska täällä on Taho-alue. Wow, 30 minuuttia ulkopuolella. Taho teki tätä? Wow, 649. Se on haastavaa. Hieman historiaa. Se oli luotettu 1906 Heinrich Fredrik Dangberg jr.

Joku kutsui sen Mindenin kaupungin takia. Tämä Heinrich on yllättynyt. Tämä on ihan hauskaa. Suurin osa ensimmäisiä ihmisiä täällä oli yllättynyt.

It was founded on land of the Dangberg Home Ranch and the Dangberg Commission. Most of the town's early buildings. They got a post office in 1906. This is the craziest shit. They used to have a sundown siren at 6 p.m. every night from 1917 until 2021. Yeah.

I don't know what this signaled in the modern times, but back in the day apparently it signaled that that was the time when the members of the Washaw Indian tribe were required to leave town or face jail time.

Oh wow. So you got to go back to where you're from is what they did. So they finally they repealed its sundown ordinance in the mid 1970s. And then in 2021, the state of Nevada passed a law that prohibits communities from sounding signals associated with a past law, which required persons of a particular race, ethnicity, ancestry or national origin to leave the town by a certain time.

Hurry up and get out of here. 2021 that take place. Wow. Reviews of this town. Here we go. Five stars. Here we are. It's the best place to live if you want to have a good look at what it's like to farm.

Okay. Good look. You want to get a good look up a cow's ass. That's where you get it. Butcher's ass, yeah. Yeah, I just asked the butcher. People here are very country and really care about how our children are raised. I have moved to other places and they never seem to feel like how Minden does for me.

So that's your hometown, babe. There you go. Five stars. I love Minden. I love it. Wow. It's a safe place to live and just have fun. There are many fun activities around, and I love how little but not too little it is. There's 3,300 people. It's little. And then finally, two stars. I would like to see more diversity in the culture here in the restaurants.

Just in the restaurant. An activity, yes. Can we have a Chinese food place here, please? It's all I want. Just one Chinese place, maybe some Mexican food, something. Diversity of restaurants. Things to do here, Carson Valley Days. Oh. It says a summer tradition over a century in the making.
