Hey guys, before we get started with today's video, I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge shout out to Greg, who's really helped out a lot with this channel over the past year, as I've been extremely busy with work and school. Greg has brought many great videos to the channel, and he's starting up a new channel called Cool Classics, which will feature the same types of videos he's brought to Come Again TV. So be sure to keep an eye out for his channel, and I'll be sharing his link in the future. Now, on with the show. Candy Canes. Look at all these. What's going on here, huh? Millions styles. Hot candy canes. Sour candy canes. Let me see. Oreo. Candy canes. Come on. Things are changing. What is the story with candy canes anyway? How did they become to be such a thing? How did they start? I don't know. Who invented them? Win.  It's still candy and a cane. All in one. So I bought some candy canes. These are the cherry flavored ones. Yeah. Don't be scared of cherry flavored candy canes. I had to look up the whole candy cane mystery, and here's what I came up with. 1670 in Cologne, Germany. That's way over there, if you're way over here. See how that goes. And then it was in church, the choir master couldn't get all the little kids to be quiet while they tried to do their performances. So he was thinking about it, and one week he thought, I'm going to give them candy, and they can be like sucking on the candy, and that will keep their mouth sort of shut, right? Well, he went to the local candy maker. Those are pretty cool to have around. Little local candy makers, and he said, I need some sugar sticks. And I said, no problem. I have these. They're white, like this. And he goes, you know what? You can form them into any shape. And he goes, yeah, could you put a little crook on the top? So it looks more like a shepherd's staff. That way I can tell the kids this is a shepherd's staff, but it's also candy.  And that's how it happened. It started like that. And it was just a white candy cane, no stripes, no cherry flavor, not even peppermint. Well, not yet. So from there, it just spread throughout the churches and eventually all around Europe. It always stayed around the holidays and the Tivity plays and had the Christmas themes to it. And eventually it just was sort of adopted as one of the traditions of Christmas time. It wasn't until the 1800s when they put the stripes on it first and they were peppermints, striped, and there you go. You had the red and white Christmas candy cane, just like the stocking is based off of the whole tradition of the red and white striped candy cane. So you can put one in here and you know what you can do? You can go put these all around the house if you want. Santa was here. Looks like a good place for a candy cane. And you get one of these and you get one of these. We're gonna put it on your arm like that. Oh no. You know what? We're gonna go ahead and hook you right on your hat. Now, one of the most well-known traditions with the candy cane is hanging it on your Christmas tree. This will be the first ornament hung on the tree this year. The candy cane looks perfect. Now, one of the other things you're supposed to do. Don't forget this. This is important. You're supposed to actually enjoy the candy cane. You can go like this. Get a taste. Crunch it. When I say crunch it, I mean crunch it. Candy canes. They're good. There's all kinds of freaky flavors out there now. You know the history. Don't be scared. Enjoy them. Talk to you in the future.

So, this morning, my wife sent me a text and it was a picture of my Shahrukh Khan mug. And she asked Leland, she said, who is this on the mug? And Leland said, Dada! So basically what I'm trying to say is I'm Shahrukh Khan.  You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, all juicy content. Thanks to Patreon, follow us through the account, subscribe if you haven't hit the like button. I'm Shahrukh Khan. You are, yep, in case anyone was wondering. A bunch of fair and lovely cream on. That's just how I got this way. That's true. Side note, don't use that.  Exactly, yeah, please don't do that. Anyways, today we're doing a kind of a tourism video. It's of Karnataka, one state in many worlds. We've seen a few Karnataka tourism videos. We started this one just the other day. We got about 30 seconds in, Rick's AirPods died. So we've seen probably about the first 30 seconds of this video, but nothing other than that. Correct. Just full disclosure. And so we came back, obviously, once AirPods are charged, as long as they don't die again on us. And we're going to get into this right now. Ready? Yes. Three, two, one. I think I said, I'm waiting for John Denver to sing, right? Yeah, yeah. Country rules. And you said, Comedy gold. That is so awesome. Yeah, we saw that and we were just blown away at our gorgeous It's got to be some kind of volcanic rock. I've got to be so unique. It's gorgeous. What is that? It looks like Hawaii, man. That is so gorgeous.  Everywhere. Coming from every direction. That's just astonishingly beautiful. That's where I want to go. Right there. Wow. Gorgeous. Oh, double waterfall. Oh, wow. Looks like a seamy valley almost with those boulders. I did. That's awesome. Oh, yes. More waterfall. Waterfall is so awesome. It's just falling water. I know, but they are. What a pretty little strip of land, man. That makes me wonder what kind of storm surge might happen if you get some like a cyclone that comes up there. Yeah. I think we're spending the whole video just shaking our head back and forth. It's so beautiful. Looks like the fricking garden of Eden, man. Oh, that was neat. The birds flying off the roof. I think that was fast forwarded people. Not a bathing suit. Low bath water. Oh, black water. Oh, wow. It's like a wetland. Yeah. It's almost a wetland. Sure looks like it. What a shot. What a shot. That's gorgeous. That's pretty. Oh, wow. I want to see that closer. What a structure. Really? Is that a field? On top of a building? There's not a lot of people in India. That's why there's such a little traffic. It just doesn't end. The most waterfall per capita. Sure things like it. Oh, look at that. Looks like milk. It does. It does look like milk. Wow. That's one of the most beautiful ones we've ever seen. That was absolutely gorgeous. Yeah. So does Karnataka have the most waterfalls of every state? I mean, obviously, I know India has a lot of waterfalls.  So there's an overflow of water, obviously. Unlike Southern California. Not a lot of waterfalls down here in case you guys didn't know. We're not known for our waterfalls. No. We're known for our water. Nope. So we get asked, when's your monsoon season? We don't have one. We don't have a monsoon season. Do you want to see the LA River? Look, see that concrete slab that has a very small trickle that's not even an ankle deep? That's it right there. That nasty thing is the LA River. That's what you get for having one of the largest cities in the world in the desert. Yeah. I would really like to know and it would not surprise me if that's like waterfall capital in India. Yeah, it's like so beautiful. I know some of them are probably like, you have to trek for a long, long time to get to them. Because the one in Maui, it's two and a half hours in and two and a half hours back for about 400 foot waterfall. And that's not even the tallest one in Maui. The tallest one is I think like 600 foot, but you have to get dropped off via helicopter to actually get to this even larger one. You can't hike to it. It's just, it's in the remote part of the top of this mountain area in Maui. But yeah, so I'd imagine that's a lot of these is that it's probably hard to get to some of these that it got to. Probably is. I wonder if they do what they do in Hawaii, which is helicopter tours. Maybe. And I imagine why you wouldn't unless things are so spread out.  But it'd be interesting to know if you can do in Karnataka, a helicopter tour of some of those places. I'd be so amazing. Yeah, but I would hate not going down in like, yeah, I know to be able to actually be down there and just sit by the waterfalls. And I asked it, but I've always been curious. Why, why are waterfalls so awesome? It's, it's literally just the, it's, I mean, I think rivers are cool too, though, so but like it's literally just falling water. It is, but I love it. It is falling water.  Yeah, I, it is just, it's a marvel to behold for sure. Really, it's especially like the ones that are here that there's waterfalls coming from every single direction. It's just, it's a living work of art. And that's the other thing is that, you know, it has a transience to it. You're only seeing it because of this particular moment in time where there's enough water to do that. And maybe there won't be at some point and it's there because of the way the land has, has evolved topographically. It's just, it's a, they're one of my favorite things in nature. I totally agree with you. There's something, I don't think anybody can't see a beautiful waterfall and not be awestruck. Yeah. I think, and then obviously when I went up to Oregon as well, since they have so much rain, there's just beautiful lush green trails. And then at the end of it, there's these roaring waterfalls. And there's like one that we went to, it was, it was only like a half a mile hike in and then there was this massive 200 foot waterfall. But like you could see trees that like full trunks of trees that have just been plowed over the waterfall because of its power. It's, it's, it's just incredible.  And same with Assam and, and, and in places like that, that are just so lush and so green and have beautiful, all this beautiful topography and not be able to go out there and enjoy the nature of it all. But anyways, that was awesome. If you have any other videos of Karnataka or other states, please send them our way. We do really enjoy these. Let us know down below.
