Jamali Maddix: Follow the Leader (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

Passport Bros

1
There's not a doubt about it.
Colombian women are the most
beautiful women in the world,
but they're also the most dangerous.
You never know what
they might slip in your drink.
You never know.
You might wake up
without your phone, your iPad,
your credit cards missing,
$5,000 in cash.
You got scopolamined?
I got scoped here.
Two years ago.
What happened?
That's the coolest part.
I don't know what happened.
LAUGHTER
I woke up
I woke up without my shit.
'What's driving people to join
extreme groups and subcultures?
'And what do their leaders promise?'
This is how you're actually going
to win with the females in 2024.
'I'm immersing myself
in fringe groups
'to understand the real motivations
behind their beliefs.'
I think I'm the most controversial
because I say
what a lot of people would not say.
'I've come to Medellin, Colombia
'..to meet the passport bros,
'a controversial movement
'aimed at young men fed up
with their lives in the West.'
You continue to work
from your laptop
and God damn,
you have spent 50% less
than your boring life
in your home country.
'They're inspired by online content
'to make new lives
in emerging countries.'
How far does the US dollar go
in Colombia?
You can come here and
date a girl for cheap.
Like, that's kind of
what their content's selling.
Gringos always pay.
SHE LAUGHS
'And find a very different
sort of woman.'
Medellin is crazy, crazy, crazy!
Look, she's washing the dishes.
'Why are the leaders
so influential?'
You know your vagina stinks.
Cut the bullshit out.
'And what are their followers
running from?'
I actually left a girl
who didn't respect me.
And I don't want
that psychological damage.
'Is this really the promised land?'
Wow, it's strong stuff.
'Or have they been fed a fantasy?'
I think a lot of people
think this is Westworld.
Where they come here,
cowboy hat on.
"Yeehaw, motherBLEEP."
I think he's planning,
like, planning the intro.
I'll do a mic check myself.
OK, so open door.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to the Sky Castle.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but we want it to be, like, normal.
Yeah, totally. So, like.
Yeah, man. Come on in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then do you want to initiate,
like,
"Hey, like, show me to, like,
can you show me around real quick"?
And then I'll just walk around.
I mean, I yeah,
I normally just feel it out.
OK.
We just go with it.
Cool. Sounds good to me.
All right.
How good do you think
his acting's going to be?
Really good.
Really good.
Yo.
Hey, hey, what's up, big man?
Nice to meet you, man.
How you doing?
Welcome to, uh
Bienvenido a mi casa.
Thanks for having me, brother.
This is lovely.
Yeah.
'I've come to meet a group of guys
'who are revelling
in the passport bro lifestyle.'
He never wears a shirt.
I was gonna ask.
Yeah.
Is that kind of like the thing?
You don't wear a shirt.
It's hot here.
Yeah, it's not that hot. It's warm.
'And talk to a man
who calls himself Icon.'
'He's a blogger,
corporate events planner
'and self-styled business tycoon.'
Our first million-dollar day.
One million in fucking revenue
in one fucking day.
'In his showreel, he says
he's made fortunes in ticket sales
'to the large events
he's arranged for his clients.'
Can I ask you something, Icon?
You have a very unique look.
Yeah.
What inspired your look?
Uh, I like to think of myself
as, like, um.
When I think of, like,
what's my look?
I like to think of,
like, start-up founder
who resides in his off time
in his winter cabin in Norway.
Yeah.
So it's like, I don't want any
clothing that's, like, restrictive.
I like to have something
that's like, it's loose.
You like the button undone?
Yeah.
It's like I'm comfortable,
there's a lot of airflow.
Like, look at that.
The airflow is going in.
Yeah, it's going out.
Very tactical there.
You know, I can button it up,
now it's more professional.
I can unbutton it,
it's less professional.
Yeah.I can stretch,
I can move in these bad boys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look at that level of motion.
You could do some parkour.
Really good stuff. Yeah.
So it's like if we
if, like, I don't know,
some ninjas busted in right now,
I'd be over that window, no problem.
What's your real name?
Uh, my real name
is a mystery to the internet.
There's maybe half of the people
in this room know my real name.
Can I know your real name?
Unfortunately, no.
You won't tell me your real name?
No. It's a mystery. Mystery.
Why can't I know your name?
Over here is cool.
So, check this out.
JAMALI LAUGHS
We have a, uh
This is, uh This is a sauna.
Now everyone's gone,
can you tell me now?
No, I can't.
It's a
It's a protected secret, man.
How come?
It's a mystery.
No, no. Fair enough.
But I'm asking how come?
Yeah, because, uh, basically,
I just
I changed Names are
associated to the people we are.
Right.
And, um, I that would like
the identity
that came with my birth name
was a person I abandoned
a long time ago.
So, like, I'm no longer that person.
The person you see today
is the only person that exists.
So I'm only Icon, brother.
As you go into the steam.
This is our steam room,
I'm just gonna step in for a second.
Can I step in with my shoes?
Yeah. Fuck it. Why not?
It's OK. We have a maid,
she'll clean it up.
Ah, Icon, who are these ladies?
Are they your girlfriend?
One of them is my girlfriend,
one of them's his girlfriend.
And these are your girlfriends.
And then we have more girlfriends
coming in later.
Ah.
Hola, Amigos e amigas.
Hola.
Hola.
Guys, that was not very excited
to see me.
This was like, OK.
Icon, who's your girlfriend?
This, actually, this, uh,
this beautiful woman right here.
This is
This is my girlfriend.
Hello. Lovely to meet you.
I'm Jamali.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
So, how long
you two been together for?
SHE LAUGHS
I'm sorry, but my English
is really fucking bad.
Yeah, so
No, it's not.
Your English is perfect.
We've been together
about a year now.
Look at this absolute incredible
specimen of a human being.
Very pretty.
She's like
It's like the Swedish army knife
of a woman, right?
She can cook, she can dance.
She's amazing.
Every room she walks into,
she just lights up the room with,
like, her personality and whatnot.
If I sat her down right here,
and you and me walked over here,
she would be able to interact and
have an absolute party by herself.
And that is what
a good Colombian woman is all about.
They're about having
an amazing time, amazing experience,
and just lighting a room up
and just being a great energy
to be around.
And that is not what I found
in America, unfortunately.
Am I right, boys?
What did
What did you find in America?
Uh, what did I find in America?
I find, uh, I found girls
that I'd take out to Komodo Miami
spend $1,000 on,
and I get a hug, and then I go home.
And, you know, in the stock market,
we call that a bad investment.
Do you always speak this loudly?
Yes.
LAUGHTER
So, I run
Is it, like
Is it, like, a thing that happens?
Like, you just scream.
Thank you, amigos.
We appreciate you guys
because we could not
do this ourselves.
How long you guys been cooking?
Five hours maybe.
Five hours?
You get the payment
of being my girlfriend.
'This is what seems to be
the passport bro's dream.
'A group of young men living
in a penthouse surrounded by women,
'with the backdrop
of Columbia's skyline.'
At the end of the day,
these guys are
These guys are my family.
'Who's feeding the dream and why?
'I've come to see Austin Abeyta,
'who on numbers alone is the most
watched of all the passport bros.'
'His TikToks can get
over eight million views.'
Hello, hello.
My brother.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, man.
Thank you for coming out.
Yeah. No problem.
Do you know what? It's
It's odd seeing you in person.
Oh, really?
I've seen you on Tik
When I type in passport bros,
you're the first guy who comes up.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
The face of it.
So, what is it you're doing?
What is a passport bro?
You got to get a remote job.
I think you should enjoy
a life of freedom.Freedom.
Because money's gonna
get you farther.OK.
And then you could date
around the world.
Why is it so much of it's
about dating and women?
So, I think,
uh, one in three men between
the ages of 18 and 24 in America
haven't had sex
within the past year.
I think there's not
Incels?
Not
One in three guys aren't incels.
I think they're trying to get laid,
like, yeah, 18-year-old dudes,
they're trying to do it,
they just can't.
When you're 18,
that's definitely on the agenda
of what you're trying
to achieve in life.
Yeah. You haven't done it yet.
I'm trying to reach the younger me
because 23 year old, I was lost,
you know, I was working at Safeway,
living at my mom's place.
I'm trying to reach him.
I know who he is
and I know he likes gorgeous girls.
What's your mom think
about all this?
My mom wouldn't like it.
She wanted me to find a Latin woman
because as a Latin woman,
she's like, "Women in America,
they're going to fuck you over,
"they don't care about you,
they won't cook for you.
"You need yourself a Latin woman."
A $25 day in Colombia.
Here's how it went down.
'Austin has his own
trademark TikTok style
'aimed at showing passport bros
'how to date local women
on a budget.'
'Today he's re-enacting
how they're filmed
'with Paola as his date.'
Nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you, Paola.
How you doing?
I'm great. How you doing?
I'm all right.
What's going on today, bro?
Today we're gonna film, like,
a classic sort of TikTok
that's been going super viral.
Is the content sort of like the idea
that you're on a date right now?
Yeah.
If we film it like this,
it's definitely going to seem like
this is a date.
Is it a date?
Uh, right now, it's not, right now.
I have a girlfriend right now.
That's fair. I was just asking.
And have you made content
with Austin before?
No, we haven't.
The first time?
First time, actually.
How far does the US dollar go
in Colombia?
Let's meet
THEY LAUGH
How far is the US dollar go
in Colombia?
Let me show this gringo what you can
get in Colombia with $1. Let's go.
Oh, crushed it. Crushed it.
Hot chocolate.
Oh, it comes in a bowl?
Yes.
What?!
Mm!
Are there guys coming here
trying to go on a date for a dollar?
This so, so, so
It's kind of the idea is
you can come here
and date a girl for cheap,
but that's kind of
what the content's selling.
Yeah.
Um, there are guys who come here
that do that, right?Mm-hm.
Because of the mindset of
it's a third world country,
they poor.
Yeah.
They always looking how to take
adventure of something or someone.
I also have somewhere I took a girl
for a million peso date
that went viral too. It's more about
how far your money goes.
How much is a million pesos?
$250.
OK.
You got the exchange rate down.
Yeah, right.
HE LAUGHS
I'm good with numbers.
I know.
See, gringos always pay.
SHE LAUGHS
'Austin's come up with
a winning format.
'It's possible to earn up to
$1,000 per million views.
'But it's not the only way
to make money being a passport bro.'
Bros, this is how
you're actually going to win
with the females in 2024.
'Sam Speaks is a dating coach
'helping potential passport bros
hone their skills with local women.'
KNOCKING AT DOOR
'Clients like Harry Singh.'
Hey.
My brother.
How you doing? Welcome, man.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Nice to meet you. I'm Jamali.
Oh, Harry. Nice to meet you.
This is a nice house.
Yeah. Thank you, man.
If you look at that view,
it's amazing.Yeah.
It's probably one of
the best places to have coffee.
Yeah.
Wake up here and have coffee, man.
'Two months ago, Harry was
living with his mum and dad
'in Washington, DC
'when he was inspired
by watching passport bro content.'
What I love about
this apartment specifically
and not many places
in Medellin have this,
but being an American,
it kind of spoils you.
Yeah.
Having a dishwasher.
Oh.
I don't like to get my hands dirty.
No, of course not.
Is this your bedroom
or your office?
Office.
What do you do for a job?
Um, I do cybersecurity.
Uh-huh.
Engineering.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you think you made
the right choice moving here?
I think I did.
I could've gone to Brazil,
I could have gone to Argentina,
I could have gone to Peru.
But I chose Colombia
because I'm here to find possibly
the future mother of my kids.
Damn.
Not my wife.
The mother of my kids.
Yeah. So, you ain't just here
for some holiday flings.
No, no, no, I'm not here
to just date multiple girls
because in this life,
I choose quality over quantity.
Mm.
How long have you been single for?
Like, three to four years.
How old are you?
Um37.
OK.
Girls in the US
that I've personally dated
haven't been the most affectionate.
Would you say
they treated you a bit shitty?
Uh, some of them, yes.
Mm-hm.
The thing is, is, like, one,
I actually left a girl
who didn't respect me
and I'll never forget it.
"Oh, Harry, you always forget stuff.
"You're not that intelligent,
are you?"
And I was just like,
"What the fuck?"
Mm-hm.
I was like, all right,
I don't want to talk to you, bop
I just hung up on her.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, why would you even say that?
I would never say it to a girl.
You were so mad
you hung up old school.
You went like that.
Yeah.
You didn't even do this, bruv.
You were like that, bruv.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because words hurt, man, and I don't
want that psychological damage.
Mm.
So, I also heard that you've signed
up to, like, the Sam Speaks course.
I told Sam, like, "Hey listen,
you know, I've seen your videos.
"I followed you on Instagram."
Most people will think
Sam is, like, just
A pickup artist.
A pickup artist for dating,
but he's so much more, man,
like, think about it.
That's a large part of it, though.
Yeah, it's a large part.
But you know,
think about it this way,
this is a wolf.
Yeah.
What are wolves good for?
Being part of a pack or lone wolf.
Mm-hm.
And would you say
Sam is the leader of the pack?
He's the one who's showing me that
you're part of my pack right now.
But I'm going to show you
how to make your own pack
when we're done.
Yeah.
If you need help in 2024
'I'm in Medellin, Colombia,
catching up with Harry.'
Like, as you see, my style
is a lot of silver, right?
Like, I have the bracelets,
the chains,
I have the earrings, the nose ring.
What's going on?
Hey, what's going on, man?
Talking about jewellery?
Yes, sir.
What was you talking about?
He's talking about
how he likes the chain, right?
Yeah.
And so the whole purpose of today,
we're kind of figuring out
how we can improve his style.
We're thinking, like,
a leather jacket.
I think leather jackets,
at the end of the day,
you can put that
on pretty much anyone
and they're going to stand out
and look like a badass, right?
All right.
I don't have a leather jacket.
No?
Always wanted one of them as a kid.
'Harry's paying
Sam Speaks, dating coach, $3,000
to make him successful
with Colombian women.
Got some unique
Yeah, some pretty unique pieces.
Yeah.
This one has some spikes on it
if you want to go crazy, bro.
Yeah, that collar
is a little a little much.
Definitely a little much.
I don't think
you're meant to wear it up,
you're meant to wear it in,
like, the shoulder there.
Oh, like, kind of open maybe?
That's what I think.
If I were
Let me see. Turn around.
Let's see it. No.
Yeah, man. Pop them collars, bro.
Ooh.
This looks pretty nice.
Let's just see
how the small one looks.
You want it to kind of, like,
hug your body,
accentuate your masculine frame,
you know?
Like, what I love, what I love about
things is, like, when it's unique
and especially
with the spikes being different
because not every
everything has, like, spikes.
No, no, no, no. Yeah.
Oh, this one. Yeah.
Like, a nice, classy bomber.
That would look good.
Can't go wrong with a bomber.
Which one do you think
you like better,
the leather or the bomber?
I think the leather
just because of the spikes.
You like the spikes?
I do too, man.
I think the spikes are badass.
Spikes. You can't beat that.
Yeah.
All right, I say we throw it on
one more time
and then, uh, make our decision.
What is it about the spikes
you like on it?
Uh, I like it
because it's different.
It's unique, you know?
You don't see it common.
You'll see, like, leather jackets,
but you don't see too many spikes
or things that set it apart.
Yeah, yeah.
No, you don't see a lot.
I think that's a winner, bro.
Yeah, let's do it.
Honestly, I would get that jacket
for myself.
It's fucking dope.
Pretty badass.
I don't think
I'd pull off the spikes.
'Guys like Harry come to
the passport bro movement
'looking for a sense of direction.'
You got the power walk.
You got the power walk
going on there.
'And that means Sam and Austin
have a huge influence
'on their life and aspirations.'
I'm teaching someone
the skills for life.
How to be empowered
in their masculinity,
how to display their value,
how to upgrade
in every aspect of life,
whether, of course,
being more attractive to women
and how to meet those women,
how to retain those relationships
and how to pursue them long-term
and find your dream girl.
Choosing your wife
is a gravely important decision
that's going to have ripple effects
on your life,
so don't take that decision light.
And I think people, men aren't dumb.
If a man's proposing to a girl
right away, it's like
It's not a scarcity.
It's scarce. Yeah.
I want every guy
to choose their partner
out of an abundant mindset.
Of course.
Do you think it's easier for you
to do that here than back home?
I would think so.
It's in part with
the feminism movement, right?
Yeah.Where women
are becoming more empowered,
which I think is great.
I think women should have
the right to have a job,
drive and be able to vote.
I think that's totally normal.
But men are becoming weaker.
Women are becoming more entitled.
It's having
You think men are becoming weaker?
100%, man.
In what sense, though?
Men are losing sight of
what it really means to be masculine
and powerful and show others
like, "Hey, look, I'm a leader.
"I can protect you,
I can provide for you
"and I can set a good example."
You think that's more here
than it is back home?
1,000%.
You can pursue that here.
Oh yeah. 100%.
I guess that's sort of, like,
right now I think there's a societal
change between men and women
and I think everyone's
just a little bit
We don't know
quite where we are now.Yeah.
And I think instead of
trying to sort of figure it out,
I think some guys are like,
"I can't, I'm out."
Yeah.But I think some people
would see your ideas
as sort of like chauvinistic.
I don't believe in that whatsoever.
And I think it's just when you go
overseas to other countries,
you can find more traditional values
and women who respect men.
And I think, you know,
you come to places like Colombia,
you go to the Philippines,
you go to Eastern Europe,
and you find plenty of women
like that.
And I think that's why this whole
movement is becoming so big now.
Popular.
And spreading and popular, yeah.
Hey, everybody.
I'm just letting you know,
we're going to start
about ten minutes.
So, we're getting some drinks ready
and then we're gonna
head downstairs.
'Tonight there's a speed dating
event organised by Sam and Austin.'
Any guys that you've seen right now
that take your eye?
Uh, secret.
Oh, it's a secret.
SHE LAUGHS
You don't want to tell man nothing.
No, I don't want to
tell Jamali nothing.
Do you speak English?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's going
JAMALI LAUGHS
Paola.
Hola, Jamali.
Talk to me.
How are you feeling?
I'm good. How are you feeling?
I'm all right.
Have you, uh, got your eye
on any of the guys up there?
No.No?
None of them take your fancy.
Meaning? Like, what did you mean?
Like, if I like it?
You see anyone that you go,
uh, you know.
No, I haven't been watching anybody.
What, you had your eyes closed?
Yeah.
HE LAUGHS
Hey, what's going on?
What's happening?
I'm all right.
How long you been out here for?
I've been here
just over a year, and I
I'm kind of nomadic
and I'm based here.
Online entrepreneur with a
Yeah. I've had some success.
And what happened was I
I wrote on my vision board that, uh,
I wanted to walk barefoot
in eternal summer
because I'm Canadian, right.
If you can make your money there,
but live here,
everything is on sale
and cost half price, right?
And the girls here,
they're excited to meet you.
And that's
that's another benefit.
Some girls in the West, um,
can be a bit mean sometimes to guys.
Have you had a woman be mean to you?
Oh yeah, in the West, yeah.
Like, not all of them,
but sometimes there's girls
that will just kind of
tell you to fuck off
when you were being
as nice as you could.
And for men, it takes
a lot of courage to go talk to them
and it's
a very vulnerable place to be.
The girl thinks,
"Oh, he's not vulnerable."
Maybe he is.
Safe to say, you're rich.
Yeah.
So, being rich and being here,
you must You must be very rich.
Well, you would find that, uh,
birth control pills
don't work for rich guys here.
It's a funny thing.
Really?
Yeah. I just had my first son
a week ago, so
Oh, you got a kid?
With a Colombian lady?
Yeah. We're not in a relationship,
but I am fully supporting her,
and, uhOK.
I'm showing up as a dad
in every way that I can.
Although we don't align on the
type of relationship that we want,
but, uh
Having multiple partners?
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, everybody,
thank you so much for coming out
and we're going to
get started here soon.
SPEAKING SPANISH
Toronto, Canada.
Si, si. Drake, Justin Bieber,
The Weekend.
In terms of the event
that's been going on,
there anyone that's took your eye?
Uh, I don't know that I remember
her name, but she was hella cute.
Super cool.
She asked me right off the bat,
"Like, do you want, like,
an open relationship
"or do you, like,
like the single relationship?"
And I told her I was like,
"Look, like, where I'm at right now.
"I'm
I'm open, you know what I mean?"
But meaning, aka,
like, I am not monogamous.
Like, it's just not how I am.
What's your life like here?
It's incredible.
My life is incredible.
Do you live like a rich guy here?
Personal fitness trainer.
Personal, uh, MMA coach.
I got food delivered at the house.
I have a personal nurse.
Um, I have massage,
uh, my favourite massage girl
that comes over professionally.
We keep the wanking
for separate shit, you know?
But she comes over, bro.
Everything's, like, here, man.
It's possible.
Cutting love short once again,
everybody.
Thank you so much
for your participation.
'Austin has just finished
the speed dating event
'when he's recognised
by one of his fans.'
Hey, how's it going?
Yo, I'm doing good.
It's so great to see you, honestly.
'Italian-born Jeffrey,
who's new to the lifestyle.'
I'll be watching you
bathe yourself on TikTok.
And, you know, on YouTube.
On YouTube.
What do you like about his stuff?
I like the fact that you left
America for a better life.
So, like, the girls in America,
I mean, I don't want to say
all of them,
but like, the majority
is not very respectful
towards men.
Have you dated in America?
Guys too.
In America, I mean,
I've never been to America before.
So how do you know what the women
are like if you've never been?
I mean, I've been watching videos
and everything,
so, like, I know
they're not very respectful.
THEY LAUGH
Just from watching videos.
However, here in Colombia,
the girls are so respectful,
they know how to treat a man.
Wait, how old are you?
What is your plans for dating, like,
you're just going to date everyone?
Do you want to settle down
or are you like?
I want to be free.
Free?
I want to try everything.
OK.
It can be morenas,
white, black, every race.
Honestly, I want to try everything.
Hey, if you're honest with them
and you're safe, bro.
I mean, have you
Have you heard about
the scopolamine stuff out here?
Oh, yes, a lot.
'There have been
worrying news stories
'following official advice
from the US Embassy
'warning tourists not to use
dating apps in Colombia.
'Reports talk about
a rising number of deaths
'caused by girls
using a drug called scopolamine.
'It makes their targets
easy to rob, but can be fatal.'
Where you meeting women?
In nightclubs
the majority of times.
Ah, be careful. And you
bring them back to your place?
First date?
Uh, yes, I do.
THEY LAUGH
Gambling man. You're gambling!
Oh, my God.
Yes, I do.
"Yes, I do."
What are you talking about, bruv?
I mean, the girl is so beautiful.
So who cares, bro?
Be fucking careful, bro.
I'm gonna get on, uh, Tinder.
Can I see the matches?
I'm gonna Eh?
Can I see your matches?
Can we see your profile?
You like the outdoors?
I like going out,
meeting new people, yeah.
OK. I don't think outdoors
means outdoor.
I think outdoors means,
like, the park, hiking.
Ah, no, I'm not interested
JAMALI LAUGHS
That's what outdoors means.
Ah, no. I just want to
go out into the clubs.
Yeah, that's not,
that's not what outdoors means.
Can we look at your matches?
Is that cool?
This is Here.
Medellin, yes.
This is Medellin.
This, to me, as a Tinder profile,
is a red flag.
And also this. See the borders?
That could be a screenshot,
fake person.
But sometimes people use
the Tinder of a girl
or the Instagram
of a different girl.
How do you
How do you vet on Tinder?
If they're not
showing off their boobs enough.
Yeah, he's, he's not asking you
how you vet
in terms of the women you like,
he's asking you
how do you know it's safe?
Ah!
Does your mum know you're here?
My parents?
Yeah.
Uh, not really.
I told them that
I was going to Barcelona.
Why did you Why didn't you
tell them you're coming here?
Bro, they will never let me come
to Colombia because it's dangerous.
Have you ever been described
as a madman?
You're a wild guy.
I wanna take the risk.
I like taking risks.
'Now that Harry's armed
with his new jacket,
'he's ready for Sam's next lesson.
Just regular pair of headphones,
right?
We just get on a call,
so that way I can hear him
and I can hear the girl
at the same time.
OK.
'How to pick up women
on the streets of Colombia.'
So, can you see him from over here?
We can see right here.
All right. Cool.
And that girl has a nice,
nice butt with her man.
Which?
The one in the jean right here.
You know, I'm a ass guy, bro.
There's a really cute girl
here by this taxi.
Uh, yeah, I'll approach her.
Why not?
So, just remember, you're gonna
be approaching from the front,
just bring that energy.
Gracias.
Marcela.
Nice.
Beautiful.
She likes you.
She likes you, bro.
There you go. Nice.
How'd that go?
It went good.
Interaction was great.
You know, I questioned basically
what I liked and she was complying.
All right.
You're going to try a couple more?
Yeah.
Who's hitting on the girl, though?
Because if you're
giving the directions,
kind of felt like
she was talking to you.
A little bit, right.
If he even needs help,
because sometimes he doesn't.
Oh, shit, I think Harry's
I think Harry's cracking on.
Is he?
Damn.
Harry's gone renegade.
Let me listen in.
Instagram.
She just number closed him.
She said, "Give me your number"?
Wow.
Look at that, bro. Renegading. OK!
You're gonna make me go to the shop
and grab me a leather jacket.
It's the spikes, though.
You gotta get the spikes.
You gonna make me have to go get
some spikes on a leather jacket.
That was good, that was good.
Do you think the local girls
like gringos approaching them?
I think if you do it
in the right way, they do, right?
Because there's a lot of guys
coming with the American mentality,
maybe the wrong approach.
And they'll film a six-second video
walking through
and all the girls catcalling, right?
And then it gets millions of views
and everyone thinks
that's what Columbia is about.
"Girls are going to love me
because I'm American."
Yeah, but a lot of people
have been sold a dream here.
I think a lot of people think
that Medellin is Westworld,
where they come here,
cowboy hat on.
"Yeehaw, motherfucker."
But that's not
the reality of it, man.
That's not
what real life in Colombia is.
And I also feel like sometimes
these dudes are just here
for, like, three days,
so they don't really care.
Hola. What's up, mommy?
Uh, mi amore.
Uh, nombre.
'Passport bros like Sam and Harry
who are living in Medellin
'are being overrun
by thousands of new followers.'
Medellin is crazy, crazy, crazy!
The hottest girls ever!
'Known as weekend warriors.
'They've seen videos online
about hot girls
'and come for
a passport bro style holiday.'
Everywhere you see is
only girls, girls, girls.
'The locals are starting to
turn against them,
'like in the case
of Auston Holloman.'
If I had a vagina
and I smelled like a can of tuna,
and when I walk in the room, I gotta
spray air freshener on myself,
I'm gonna go to the doctor.
'Whose content has been considered
so offensive
'that he's had to leave a country.'
Auston, what kind of damn trouble
did you get yourself into
with these Brazilian women?
Do you think that your views
are seen as controversial?
Yes, I think
I'm the most controversial
because I say
what a lot of people would not say.
Like, one thing I said
when I first got on TikTok
was that American women, on average,
had, like, fishy-smelling box.
You know,
I don't think there was any,
but there were people
in the same space,
like, "Man, I've been wanting
to say that for so long." You know.
But I just didn't give a damn.
I'm just going to say
what I think, bro.
Hey.
Yo, wassup?
'I've invited Jeffrey
to meet Auston,
'who's another one of his heroes.'
Bro, good to see you, honestly.
Good to see you as well.
Good to see you as well.
Nice to see you, bruv.
Yesterday was a crazy night,
honestly.
Did you meet a lot of women?
So many girls, man.
But yeah, man, it's good to
see you right now face to face.
Good to see you as well, man.
Honestly, like, I love the way
you travel to different countries
to see which country
has the best girls
who are obedient, lovely
Obedient?
Obedient to a man.
So you, you want to travel
to meet the best women?
Pretty much. Yeah, man.
You inspire me to travel the world
pretty much.
I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you very much.
That's what my content is for.
How are you meeting girls
while you're in Colombia?
Nightclubs.
Yeah.
And also Tinder.
I wouldn't recommend Tinder.
Uh, just because of
all the stuff we've been hearing.
I know so many people
Yeah, scopolamine.
I wouldn't recommend it,
but for your intentions,
I mean, it sounds like
you just want to have fun
and I guess just fuck. So
I've used Tinder so many times
and never had an issue.
I'm always like, "Listen,
I like you, you beautiful.
"Like, I'm going to
give you everything."
Now, you didn't hear
what I just said.
What are you on about?!
What the what?
I'm gonna give you everything?
I will give you everything.
I'm gonna treat you like a queen.
And they're like,
"Oh, my God, this guy's lovely."
And then once I get my
Once I get my
what I want to get from them,
I'm like, I'm done.
I'm onto the next target.
I'm done.
Oh. You blocked them? Why?
They keep messaging me like,
"Oh, I want to see you."
Don't you think that's kind of
a bit fucked up?
Yeah, it's not moral.
I agree. It's not moral.
I don't think you should block.
I like to smash twice at least.
Why? In Colombia, like,
there's so many girls,
why stick to one when you can?
No, I'm not going to
stick to one, but I
You can have multiple women
you're dealing with.
That's actually good advice,
you know.
Colombian women are the most
beautiful women in the world,
but they're also the most dangerous.
You never know what
they might slip in your drink.
'Every passport bro I've met
has had the same fear.
'It's a growing crime
'and at least eight men have died
from being drugged.'
You got scopolamined?
I got scoped here.
Two years ago.
What happened?
That's the coolest part.
I don't know what happened.
LAUGHTER
I woke up.
I woke up without my shit.
No, I took a girl on a date,
and, uh
Yeah, she
It was a Tinder girl.
We're at my house.
We're sharing a drink,
I'm kissing her.
And then I wake up
at the next morning
without my phone,
iPad and my wallet.
And then I thought to myself,
"I got got, I got got."
How did this happen to me?
I thought it was a G.
That was my third date that week.
'I'm meeting two women
who make their living
'by robbing people
with scopolamine
'who are willing to talk to me.'
It feels weird to be
so close to the scopolamine.
Do you drink or?
On the breast?
Oh, you put on the boobbooby?
Booby.
Booby, si.
BOTH LAUGH
Wow.
If I put this in my drink
and drank it, what would happen?
Wow, it's dangerous stuff.
How much is scopolamine?
Is it expensive?
300,000 Colombian pesos,
which is, like $80.
And like, what do you look for
in a target?
If you saw me with the rings,
you would try?
You would.
HE LAUGHS
Do you ever feel bad?
Do you ever worry it could go wrong?
Because some people
get scoped and die.
Are you saying
you might have killed someone?
Fucking hell.
Was there any consequences? Did you
go prison or did you get caught?
'It's shocking to hear murder talked
about as an occupational hazard.
'It makes me realise how naive
some of the guys I've met are
'and the dangerous realities
they face.'
So basically, we was meant
to follow with Jeffrey,
and Jeffrey was the Italian kid,
and he was like,
"Yeah, yeah, come to my Airbnb."
And then he went quiet.
And then we got a text
in the morning and it says,
this is what Jeffrey said.
"Got a massive problem.
"I had 12 military personnel
knock on my door.
"They asked me for my passport
"and they told me
I need to leave the Airbnb
"because it was illegally listed
as an Airbnb."
And we ain't heard from him since.
Good luck to Jeffrey, man.
If you see this, Jeffrey, man,
send me a message,
let me know you good, bro.
'It's my final meeting with Austin.'
Always working.
Yeah.
What's up, brother?
'I'm curious to unpack
the responsibilities
'of being a leading voice
in a movement.'
Do you think a lot of guys
have been tricked
that this place is like an oasis
when really it's a hard city?
It is a hard city.
And I think sometimes
that when this movement is sold,
it's selling a quick fix
to a complicated issue.
Grab your passport,
get a job, find a bird.
You're living good.
I don't think
life's that fucking easy.
I don't know
if I'm that influential, though,
because it's like
a one-minute TikTok.
You're influential.
OK, OK. Well, thank you.
You have millions of people
watching your shit, and you have
I've never influenced anyone
to move to another country.
I like to look at myself
as, like, waking them up,
to, like, what's possible.
Fair enough.
But it feels like a lot of pressure
that someone would quit their job,
move.
A lot of influencers sell dreams.
Fitness influencers sell dreams.
I truly believe
men who make the move
to get the remote job to come here
will have a better life,
but I can understand
where people can get confused.
Why does it sound like
you feel regretful?
So, you know,
there's been people that
came out here and got scoped,
you know what I mean?
Or, like, lost their
Are you talking about that
particular guy who got killed?
Paul. Paul Nguyen. Yeah.
Paul Nguyen.
And can you tell me what happened?
So he comes out, young kid, 24.
You know, just a young kid,
never travelled before.
Comes out here, wants to date,
gets on Tinder
and they scopolamine him
and he ended up passing away
and it was really sad.
And then his friend
reached out to me and was like,
"Yeah, we actually had some of
your TikToks in our channel."
And then that just
were like, damn, like.
It feels like you're trying to do
a bit of a 180 on it.
Like, there's people I've met
who are vulnerable
and there's people I've met
who have had bad experiences,
like, we all do, but we all
deal with them differently.
Yeah.And I think there's people
who have had bad experiences
and they think this is going to be
their complete and utter redemption.
And I think that's dangerous.
Yeah.
I can't even change the movement
if I wanted to.
Do you think Do you think
it's gone a bit too far?
Let's say it started as,
like, a men's health movement.
And a lot of people
started talking about, you know,
it's about the remote work,
it's about living,
it's about, um,
there's a lot of benefits,
and dating is one of the benefits.
But then it became
sort of like woman bashing.
And I personally believe
the dating culture in America
You got a lot of misogynist
follow you indirectly?
Maybe there's some
really dark parts of it.
There's some really
There's some really, like,
super misogynistic, super hurt men
that come into the comments
and this is a movement
they can get behind.
Those guys are ruining it
for everyone else.
And I think the movement,
we just wanted more people in it.
I think the movement's, like,
yes, people are listening.
Yes, we're growing,
not looking who's coming in.
Do you think you're marketing
to the wrong people indirectly?
I never want to count someone out.
'When travelling here
to make this film,
'I thought I'd be meeting men
who have created a culture.
'But what I'm realising
'it's men feeding a culture
that already exists.'
It's a nice building, man.
Oh, it's very nice.
It's very family-oriented too,
what I like.
'I've come for a final check in
with Harry,
'who's just moved out of
the tourist area into a new flat.'
This is nice.
Yeah.
I like the light.
Explain to me the light.
Why do you put the lights like this?
The lights are
a nice effect and touch.
Sam's idea, actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Is this him pimping it up?
Upgrading it.
Upgrading it, man.
You got to give the nice
light effect for the place, right?
Sets the mood.
Can we turn the lights on?
Yeah.
Maybe give me a quick tour.
Yeah.
The best is this. That view.
Oh, shit. This is nice, bro.
Yeah.
And, you know, the crazy part is
that's the Santa Fe mall
right there.
OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's where we, um,
we went the other day
when you picked up the girls.
Yeah, yeah.
What happened with that?
Did you date any of them girls?
No, it just didn't work out.
No? How come?
Any reason in particular?
They all have different things
that they want.
Just life.
What do they want?
I don't know.
You didn't talk to them?
I talked to them,
but sometimes things
just don't work out.
I wonder how much of this world
is like a fantasy world.
If you come here expecting
everything is going to be easy,
then you're not in the right place.
Mm-hm.
Because here, if you go for easy,
you go, you get the trouble.
Yeah.
It could be with women,
it could be with the clubs.
And if you want the good things
in your life,
you have to work for it.
Yeah.
That's the difference
between a lot of other people
and I think you,
I think you're very laser focused.
I'd say out of all the people
I've met,
I think you've got
the most to lose as well.
I'm here to maximise my opportunity.
Right.
And if I want to
maximise my opportunity,
I have to take chances and risks.
Do you feel more valued
by women here?
I do think over here
you're more appreciated.
Mm-hm.
Right.
Like I've had, uh, women
that I've seen here
that they're cleaning up my place
and I didn't ask them.
They're doing it for me.
Mm.
Some people are just like that.
Yeah, for sure.
'As I leave Harry and
the world of passport bros behind,
'it makes me wonder
'can the complex nature
of relationships and love
'ever be simplified?
'And is the desire of men
to be closer to women
'actually pushing them
further apart?'
The view is crazy.
That's what I love the most.
'With men trying to live a life
'peddled to them wholesale
from videos online,
'I found the true leader
of the movement is the algorithm.'
Good luck.
Thank you so much.
If you find a wife,
make sure you tell me.
Absolutely.
Email me.
Yeah.
I might even drop a DM.
DM.
Yeah.
Nah. Stay out my DMs.
BOTH LAUGH
I'm joking, bruv.
Look after yourself, Harry, man.
Yeah. Thanks.
ALL RAPPING
Yo, guys.
Actually pretty good, honestly.
Come on!
