The males are the one# with the pretty feathers and the display them to the female in hopes she will breed with him
@@BEASTmodeontheRoad Ditto!
😂😂😂😂😂
Aint that the truth
Yep, that is typical of most animals in nature that the male is the "pretty" one and he uses those good looks to win a mate.
Right
I thought he was going to make it without whining about something then came the car in the parking spot , ole well he almost made it
It's always the whiny fat white guy act when he doesnt understand city things
I would never have said, “Nomadland was all about van life.” These days that’d be young couples building out & getting out. It’s more about how our “system” of capitalism creates multi-billion dollar businesses (see: giant Amazon hub, Empire USG) but leaves the workers that run it successfully for a lifetime high & dry. The main protagonist is houseless as result. I didn’t perceive anti-RV bias; rather, Fern lived in a utility van out of necessity and relied on people like her. All of the encampments had RV’s but I got the feeling the people in vans were the poorest.
The white birds with the pink flamingoes are ibis. Blue eyes, long, reddish, curved beaks. When they make noise it sounds like “unk.” The little ones are brown.
I lived in Broward County for over 20 years, took my daughters to Flamingo Gardens when they were young ❤️
Somehow missed when you posted this. I love you and I loved Nomadland. Two different mindsets of the nomadic life. When you age another 20 years, you'll understand how life takes away many opportunities. I didn't think the film badmouthed RV'ers. I think the ladies touring that luxury RV were envious of it, in the movie and it represented a lifestyle they could never afford. Also - that tree was a BANYAN tree and "FAUX" is pronounced "FO" (I'm sure 446 other people told you this.
There is a word for artists who modify other people's property without permission, they're called "criminals". 🤔
It's street art.
It's not a protected museum.
Street rules apply.
Agreed.
ppl this artist the ok from the county plus there put events for artist too
i live in miami see that area of wynwood was horriable of crime and dirty to so city say clean up bring artist keep it clean bring more ppl plus that area lots rish ppl and of condos
There was a known tagger a few years ago in New York city that was caught.... Teenager? H-ll no... He was some 40yr old Puerto rican.... Go figure. He must have a very boring life... to make graffiti like he did / does.
THIS ARTIST.... get payed by the city or the store or food places .......
Big cities suck! I liked the Flamingo Gardens. We enjoy spending the night at Cracker Barrel’s. Good food for dinner and a good breakfast before getting on the road again in the morning. 😻
the male peacock is the beautiful one,s
I love Flamingo Gardens....I used to go there quite often since I was a little kid...I miss alot of places in South Florida but I do love OREGON very much Im in Brownsville the small town known for the famous movie Stand By Me....I went to that Cracker Barrel all the time on the way to the Keys and also to the NASCAR races about 4 miles west of there
Peacocks are male peafowl, a type of pheasant that also includes the female peahen. Peacocks fan out their feathers as part of a courtship ritual to attact a mate.
Be glad you didn't winter in Tx. Flamingo Gardens a place for us to visit! We went to the Big Cat Rescue in Sarasota. They also are doing a very good thing!!
I always thought the city not my cup of tea but then my husband and I started selling antiques and glass birdhouses my husband makes downtown KC Mo. That changed my mind, there was plenty of nice people and just a vibe! Yes, U have to be aware of your surroundings but that is true of anywhere these days. That being said I love nature and animals so I wouldn't last long! Very interesting video!
Erick Welcome to Miami....I'm glad and HAPPY for you that you took my advice when you were visiting Texas almost 2 months ago....Florida currently is perfect and good to it's visitors....My wife and I are HUGE fans of your....if you're staying long period in Miami...let me know we live in Cutler Bay...between Miami and Key Largo....we'll love to invite you if you need to boondock in our place...Mi casa es su casa...My House is You're House
Nice of you to offer
So, we are Texas.... Can we have just one day of Florida weather to thaw out? Could be really helpful.
I think the kitty got offended by you calling him a pet, he's obviously security lol😉
😂😂
That troll is spectacular. 🧐💯✨🧟
There is a cinemax here in Hanover Maryland looks exactly like that.
Oh I didn't know there were more! Cool!
You can’t ruin graffiti, it’s there to be covered over by another inspired artist. My mates and I used to paint back in the day and we were always surprised if we went back a week later and it was still there. To see it covered by a better artist than yourself is always good, not so much vice versa but it is what it is lol.
Hey Eric and Jax. Great episode. Love logistics. Love what you do. Independence and freedom. Good for you dude. Daytona wasn't ideal but a life experience regardless. West coast of Florida is my favorite. The coast roads are really awesome. Planning to do what you do some day. God willing. Have a good one!
The "Boom-Shaka-Laca" Trees are Banyan Trees. The air roots go down into the ground and make the tree "bigger".
Peacocks and Peahens.
The Hard Rock Hotel was actually built for Super Bowl 54 (2020). It was pretty much complete last year, just in time for the game. I lived in Hollywood, FL before I moved to central FL in Sept 2020.
FYI, Nomadland was based on a true story, and I saw nothing in this movie that said anyone was anti-RV and van life was the better way to go. It was a great movie about a lady down on her luck and destitute. I’d rate it a B+.
In Nomad land saw panda in a line leaving some place. Yeah, MEH is right!
Faux is pronounced "foe".
13:36 it’s based on a book that’s based on a true story 🚐
I don’t recall anyone ragging on RV’s 🤷🏽♂️
Seriously love the cinamark theater..how breathtaking...
The male peacocks are the bright colorful ones... LoL... They are stunning...🌴🌴🌴🌴🐊🐊🐊🌴🌴🌴
That is Fresh Kid Ice from 2 Live Crew on the mural who died in 2017
@@vickenator no problem!
There is a Cinemark theater in Arundel Mills in Hanover , Maryland. Also a Cinemark in Towson, Maryland. Both have the Egyptian theme.
Senior here (72)and this moved at the right speed and was so informative. Between the architecture and the culture and the agriculture just loved it. Do they still have orange groves? Where can I get a Jax hero t-shirt? Thank you for sharing!
The sure do still have orange groves! You just gotta take backroads. (It's just skectchy in an RV as 2 vehicles barely fit on those 2 lane roads, and the agriculture trucks are very slow. I don't have t-shirts in stock now.
Through this whole episode, Eric was speaking 1.3 times normal speed. On purpose? Did somebody get LAID?
Faux = fake. The temple is from an ancient race who worshipped the Bangles. Walk like a Faux Egyptian! Thanks Eric!
Also built by slaves. Hollywood... slaves... hmmm.
A guy I dated used to go on and on about how he thought Miami is so beautiful and amazing.
Hmm, I dunno man...lol.
South Miami is beautiful... There is also one blue-glass building by the airport that is cool... Also they recently built some huge condo buildings on the ocean... one looked like a clock. The one thing that is weird- is how far away CONUS is... even though you are on it there. Fl is basically a peninsula, and Miami is one corner of the Bermuda triangle.
Rural ~ Independent living vs. City ~Interdependent survival
that area was crime and dirty long time ago ,,,,,,, but city clean it by putting condos bring in artist and clean it up
Thanks for the Awesome video Eric! Having an ice storm in North Carolina so it's great to see you having fun in Florida. Love the exotic bird sanctuary 😍
I lived in downtown Minneapolis a couple blocks away from the hospital and next to a freeway. Nothing beats looking out of my apartment window on the 11th floor and watch it all just unfold. Must have been lights and sirens going by every hour. Then being the cities you have the gangs to watch and the drug dealers trying to either rob people or sell their stuff. Great times lol😜 just kidding. Made me almost go crazy living there.
Everything that happens in the city happens in the country too it’s just in smaller numbers
@@vickenator I always enjoyed that skywalk path. Would connect all the buildings together. Then I forget which building it was in but they had allot of banks, fountain and food places Some smaller stores in the halls and such. During the winter time I would just walk around there. It was kinda cool in some of those places. But near the building I was staying at we had Somalian gangs. Pretty much teenagers but there is allot of them. They ended up putting my dad in the hospital hence the reason I moved there for a year. To see if I could do anything to help and to walk with him to doctor appointments. They never messed with me. I'm guessing they looked at my dad as an easy target. And that's why they robbed him like that.
Well done as always! Agree about the animals. I'm in to more trees than buildings, water and more animals than people...😊
Graffi might be art, but to me it's ghetto...to each city...their own.
Be well, stay safe...keep cool.
😎
They’ve been building the hard rock hotel for about 2 1/2 years. So it was going on last year.
I work at the Hard Rock. The Guitar Hotel was finished in 2019.
Yeah I use to live down there in 2018/2019 and I remember it being constructed-worked on.
Boom-Shaka-Loca, it's crazy! 👻☢️🤑
The male peacock trying to attract the female peacocks 🦚 when spreading there feathers
I agree Eric....I DO NOT LIKE "street art" for the most part.
wynwood back in pass 80 very bad part of miami it more clean up lot and of condo .......condos there go 200,000 for studio same size eric home bace ............ that also very art stuff of miami .......
I'm watching Nomadland tomorrow on Netflix or Hulu whichever it released on just because I binged watched everything else lol.
Cool scenery.
I will be watching that, too. I've read the book, which was really good...it's about something a little different from Eric, though. There are people like him in there, and of course Bob Wells puts in an appearance, too, but this is mostly about people who ended up in their cars or an old RV out of economic necessity...they could just no longer afford housing. There are actors in some of the leading roles, and actual nomads showing up as themselves. They show people working for Amazon Camperforce, working a beet harvest, and camp hosting, just some of the jobs people who have found themselves living this way do for a living. Some are retirees or disabled living on as little as $600. a month, and how they always manage somehow because of the nomad community. It is sobering and uplifting, both at the same time. In the book, anyway.
It's on Hulu, btw. Otherwise, it is also being released in theaters.
It was great. I watched it in the theatre
Replace those manifolds with a header and stainless bolts so you don't have to deal with that leak anymore
They are peafowl with the males known as peacocks and the females as peahens. Only the males have the bright colors as they use them for attracting mates when the females have the coloring that makes hiding easier
That tree growth type comes from the strangler type of trees where they take root in a nook of a host tree and start to grow up into the canopy and down to access the ground slowly over time killing the host tree that then rots away leaving a void in the shape of the tree.
Attracting mates? Why was he all fluffed up at me???
@@nomadicfanatic It is also to scare off animals with the I am so much bigger then you way of thinking.
I love your towing hook up! My Roadmaster I use to tow my jeep can be a bear to unhook if the jeep is not straight behind my rv. It puts the arms in a bind and they are just too tight to release; cannot back up either....
A little tip for you.... After yo park, put the RV in reverse, but BARELY go back. I mean like an inch or less just to release the forward pull. :)
I thought the RTR was all about all nomadic folks . I love Bob . But , the disappoints me .
The white birds with the Flamingos were White Ibis.Another great video!
17:13 🦚 actually the males have the colorful plumes of feathers & the females are plain in color; like most all other species (i.e. ducks 🦆 & lions 🦁 as the males have the mane, etc.)
Pinecrest gardens is a beautiful park in south florida. Away from central miami, which is a good thing lol I'm no fan of central miami, used to live in southern miami by homestead
I believe that was a Banyan Tree. Download Seek on the google store you can point your camera at plants and animals and it will identify them for you.
#17 Good Afternoon, Eric. I would not park there overnight as you may have you RV repainted. I stayed in the Cuban section one night back in 1979. No one messed with my car, lucky, I guess. Be safe!
That tree was way cool. Thanks for the info on towing Tater-Tot, still think it's well worth it, especially for touring around.
There are places in Miami to go, and then there are areas to stay waaaaaaaaaaaaay away from! Be careful!
Don't know why RVers cant tell the difference between car slots and RV slots......Maybe should paint cars only on parking lot
Actually. Eric
That building has been here for over 2 years functioning as a casino.
I live in this beautiful city called Hollywood florida and it's been ok for me in my van.
Only been stopped once in over 2 years and the people seem very cool.
I wish we could have met up.
I want to start a TH-cam channel.
The Ford cube vans have a Y pipe that pulls off the exhaust manifold bolts when they heat up, likely the same problem as you have with the exhaust leak. At least one guy just put in a dual exhaust to solve the problem. Maybe you might want to research it if you have time, or read this. We watch a lot of your videos, like your positive attitude. Alan
Miami doesn't look like a place we would want to visit. But we always avoid big cities.
The sculptor is Thomas Dambo (as opposed to Dumbo). We have multiple sculptures by him that appear at the Spirit of the Suwannee.
Great video thank you!
Good thing you disconnected Tater! Certainly don’t want to break your shaft! Yikes! Costly for sure. Thanks
Male peacock 🦚 have the full feather, hens are brown and sleek
Seven degrees in Dallas yesterday morning. That was up from three degrees, which was up from negative one. I somehow miraculously avoided losing power like most people have, so even though my heat pump outside froze up and quit working, my electric oven has kept me warmer than many people who have no electricity, no heat and no water. All Texans right now are basking in the warmth of knowing that our Senator, Ted Cruz, left Texas for the sunshine and warmth of Cancun, Mexico. Some of us are down-right hot about it.
Great video Eric😁
Thanks for the movie review, saves a lot of time.
Be happy your not in Texas, you made a great choice of locations.😁
Wouldn't it be cool to go snorkeling The Reef.
Lots of GOOD artist on the Theatre!!! Wish people would REALLY STOP Graffitti on other art looks so bad, But Great video as always Eric!! LOVES/HUGS to you & Jaxman!!!
Boy-o-boy, I can't wait till I can live in a 6 foot box and poop in a bucket :)
Omg. You were only 2blocks from my house. I live on Stirling rd. Wish I had known, I would have run up and give you a hug. But don't worry I'm 78. By the way Hard Rock is in Hollywood not Miami. Have fun and enjoy the sun. Keep up the great work.
ah yes, I use "Miami" very loosely just like back in Seattle with all the other cities.
Ooops, FYI: it is the male peacock who are bright and colorful and have the long panache for display to attract females
Went back and watched your old video on the wall art, you're very entertaining Eric, and a good tour guide.
Awesome, thank you!
oh wow I have never seen you go to a spiritual location. More temples Eric that was kinda outside your character for me. lol
Hey, if you ever get tired of plugging in your fan to cool your batteries, you can by what is called an attic fan controller. You set it for like 100 degrees, once it reaches 100 it kicks on, once it drops below it kicks off. Thanks for the videos
Bottom line....
Say it like it is: it is NOT "art." It is public vandalism.
Good stuff! I always had great experience parking over night at Cracker Barrels!
Ive been here 30 yrs n i havent been to miami in 25 lol.woooooo im 26 miles north haha.
Some awesome food there 👍🏻
I installed etched n stained glass at condos on Brickel ave.went to that cinemark when it opened .way cool
Bob uh not so much 😫
Cool flamingos gardens took me mum there .
Yeah, I wouldn't stay there because of the burn out marks. Too loud and draws crowds. Yup, we used to get stuck in some small spaces too. PITA!
Those are aerial roots thar grow down & plant themselves,those are banyan trees🐊alice from fl
Nice video, enjoyed. Haven't been to Miami in 30 years. Murals are nice, not graffiti. Pretty garden. I'll have to ck out those trolls. Thanks for taking us along. Be safe. 😊👍
88 in Florida and 24 tonight in houston Texas and we got chance of snow again what a crazy thing, you know what they say the "spice of life"
Loooved the Flamingo Gardens, sooo fun, thanks for sharing Eric🤗
We just watched Nomadland and I didn’t see or hear any bad things about vans being better than RVs not sure what I missed.
The Trolls by danish artist Thomas Dambo were at the Morton arboretum in lisle Illinois for the last couple of years. He did new version in Miami.
Jax is a smart kitty to sleep in front of the AC!🐱🐱🐱♥️ Safe travels!
Welcome to Miami
I'm with you Eric, not a city person. I put small padlocks through my pins on the car because someone in CA in stop and go traffic had some nitwit pull their pins and one come out on the hi-way. It keeps someone from disconnecting your car while you're parked also. Just saying.
Too many commercial breaks.
Luckily you didn’t get arted while you were parked there.
I recently saw a broke down car with 2 bicycles locked on the back of a bike rack in a bad part of town and the whole car was spray painted with words. I think the owner of the car didn't have AAA and couldn't afford to tow it so it sat there overnight. I feel bad for the owner of the car to come back and see it vandalized with spray paint of graffiti on all 4 sides of the car.

Thanks for the video! Next time I visit my daughter in Miami, we'll check out Flamingo Gardens! Looked like a pleasant place to spend some time!
Stay safe man give Jax a hug for me
I don't like big cities either...
Thanks for the tour! I love how EASY it is to disconect your e car! Makes me think towing is not that hard.
Another bucket list place is the Coral Castle lots of history.
Glad you showed us where not to go. Miami was nice when I was a kid. I am a native Floridian and I won’t go there anymore. Be safe Eric ☀️
Nomadland is one of those movies you love or you hate no in between in my opinion.
Thomas Dambo is at it again, eh? Love those trolls and who doesn't love a huge pink flamingo?...Okay, maybe a peacock... Great trip!
I like the troll more than the new hotel. 🧐🤔🗿
What troll were you talking about, the fat condescending little troll or the wood one ?
@@cway444
The sculpture.

Yes males are the flashy guys and the hens are plain Janes. That is how it is in most of the feathered kingdom.
Trees are called Banyan trees. The male Peacock has all the colorful plumes.
Ya had like 6 RV slots to pick from, a car was in one, ya cried....Next time I see an RV taking up 5-6 car slots, in Walmart or whatever, will inform management, and demand a slot yer hogging
28 degrees here in CT.
Australian Tree Fern
We have Blueox and they all work the same. Can't backup with most them Blueox is the best!
The city is awesome to visit and then leave
Big difference between RV and vans. And with who falls in each group.
