Masdin knew the assignment. Paid off his debits in the market, paid officials for future favors, got some good cash himself and made this video 100x better. Honest hustle if I ever did see one. Well done Masdin
You got it right. Those things he is doing is generally important in Africa for the next day. The video was 100x better, like being in a race basically: all gas
That guy "everybody knows me" I grew up with him he's so honest, he was so friendly at home, he grew up as an orphan since 8, he used to call me brother because my mum used to offer food and shelter to him and his sister (who her whereabouts still unknown). He is purely a nice guy but cheeky😂 he vanished hometown for years now I found him here at your channel. Thanks
@@lorrainechittock at first youtube algorithm recommended the video I said I'll watch later, but now I wanted to know what happened to tommy with filming at the getto, then boom a small world, found a long time friend
Wow, the body guard is a modern-day Robin hood. He's seems to be protecting Tom and robbing him at the same time while giving money to everyone in the area out of Tom's pockets. 🤨
His cred just went through the roof having taken the white man, who's also filming, into the deep end of the ghetto and back out safely - he is the Boss of Bodyguards now - good for him! His legend will get better and better, probably including that Tom was from Hollywood filming a movie. Great guy, he deserves it.
He's been lucky so far. I live here & a good rule of thumb is never follow someone like that, especially into environs that are unknown. He put Tom in a somewhat hostile environment & then plays the "protector". It's a racket & he's fortunate that it didn't go sideways.
That guy was having the best day of his life. His wit and determination got him this interesting and lucrative career for a day. The way he ran off at the end was priceless. His story will be remembered by friends and family for a long time!
That scared me how he took off running, I immediately thought he was going to tip off somebody to go rob sabbatical but now im thinking he might of just ran home happy to show his family how much money he made so fast!
Out of all African countries, Kenyans are all like that, gather up on you, intimidate you, call you 'white" (Even tho i'm a North African myself). They suck
Hustler got his shopping and paid his bills, survivor for real. Respect to Tommy for showing the real sides to a country, a very brave man, big up fella, love watching your content.
It was funny, but not the craziest. Would've been the craziest if he went to those drinking spots by himself. The craziest was to me the one in the Uganda bar where they had to bribe the mayor to safely get away.
Can we please get masdin trending ? I feel like not enough people know this legend and they need to ASAP . More people need to know Masdin. Thank you Tom
Masdin saw you enter the market and thought the Parking job can wait a few hours, He immediately put on his "Tour guide" hat and engaged target😂..I died when he was bragging to his friends that nowadays he takes tourists from the Port and gives them a tour.."Nyinyi hamnitambui" meaning "You guys don't even know me, I'm badass"😂. Masdin paid all his debts in the market that day and got an extra 1500ksh in less than an hour. Hats off hustler🙌
I ain't even gonna lie.... that Masdin was str8 up looking out for Tommy.... at the drinking hole he kept everybody at bay so Tommy could chill drink and "take foto!! “.
Tom has traveled enough that he knows what was going on. Dude literally took care of him up to cleaning the seat of the motorcycle he put him on to take him off to safety. $15 was a great deal for the "everyone knows me guy"
Agreed. Ppl saying it's a scam. I mean i get it. Dude did it hoping he can get money after for sure. But i mean, you go to open market in an obviously rough place in a 3rd world country but in the safe tourist area.. it was probably really in sabs best interest to give them a $1. He spent like $10 not $50. Dude got him his drink. Bananas. Got him there and back safe. Made sure to take on the ppl trying to harass him. So many of these videos the guy they go with just kinda stands around and watches while others bother the person filming. This guy was running full defense. I think the issue ppl have is that they are looking at his actions through their own eyes and not his. If this was America and an American did that to him. Scam. It's a 3rd world country!

I grew up without a lot of money and it wasn't a big deal even coming from that situation for me to go to school and become a systems engineer. Not needing to try and tour guide random tourists to make good money. I live in a place with law and order.i have a closet full of clothes. Heat. Ac. I live so comfortably i choose to take care of a pet. I buy the pet high quality food. It would be so easy living like that. In a place where living how i am isn't even middle class. And call him a scammer.
BRO! cut the crap. I'm a North African from Morocco, even in my country which is way more developed than Kenya, $15 is a loooot for what he did. YOu're thinking in your own Western country economy and applying it to an underdeveloped counry, which is EXACTLY why so many of you always get scammed. On top of all this, he husteled him, planned the whole thing as he knew him and watched his videos. THat guy is a bad guy
lol. How much would you pay me if I dragged you to my friends and had them harrass you until I pretended to stick up for you, after dragging you to vendors to get you to buy things you didn't want. lol@@westerngroovetv
My anxiety level rose dramatically after you met your "bodyguard". That was...intense. Glad you made it out of there. Turns out, everybody there knew YOU. lol
I have never seen two people saying the same thing, but both were contextualizing words. Tommy says cocnut, Masdin brings him to coconuts, Tommy says, He wants Mnazi (Coconut Tree), Masdin had bought a bag to haul Nazi (coconuts), in the meanwhile, Tommy is looking for a drink, Masdin thinks Tommy is looking for coconut water, Tommy then makes it apparent as he starts singing Mnazi (Coconut tree) 22:51, as Tommy is trying to say Palm wine/Moonshine/ keep saying a tree🌴😂😂😂😂. Masdin in the meanwhile he knows that if he leaves Tommy alone, Kenyans will rob him right after they make him drunk.. So, he is literally calling all the shots, including how much Tommy can drink.. 😂😂😂😂
Protect Masdin at all costs... dude's a legend and a natural business man, all those thinking hes "silently robbing tom" dont understand the reality of life and how to deal with people.
I totally agree. Of course, he did it for payment, but damn did he earn it. Imagine if Tommy went in alone.. And 1500-2000 bob is pocket change for us mzungus.
of course he hustled him out of some money but for the safety and the experience ill gladly let myself be hustled like that for some pocket change, he earned it, protected him and his gear and got him great experience. win win scenario

This video got me hooked, I think the only one who got robbed was Masdin. I would pay to see him again in another video. I love how he opens his book and noted who he paid after each payment
Paying off debt! That’s exactly what o thought as he went around making notes on his little book. Then he gets $15. Probably ran to brag to his buddies. Or pay off another debt. What a character. I would never go back there. But..if you do, look for Masdin. Everybody knows him! Lol
I thought the same thing LOL!! They all had smirks on their faces when Masdin "worked a deal" for Tom ... You're a brave one Tom - cuz that place was scary.
People in those bars do not like cameras around because they are brewing illegal brews. They do not have licenses to do it and are very wary of authorities. That is why they are very hostile.
2nd time I've watched this now - still can't decide whether I prefer your 'craziness' vids or the calm ,educational ones. Can't split it , love 'em both!
That's what I said, he was politicking. That's how you win friends & influence people. Make sure the people eat and the people will have your back. Or as Masdin put it, "Everybody knows me. Don't worry." .... he gets into any trouble, one of the dozens of people he's fed will come and help him out of his trouble.
You put yourself into crazy situations mate. But Jembe was there to save the day...kept things moving so no situation could brew out of control...knew exactly when to bail...I appreciate his skill...hustler wa mtaa!
as I mentioned The body guard tour guide deserved his pay. in fact when he siad 1000KS I would had duoubled it! and would thanked him soe his services! You isted protested and gave him the 500Ks Extra asked. No hard feelings you showed no apesciation for the pesson who took you inside, kept you safe and brought you back uncrached! Yes he deserved the 1500KS and as I mentioned I woulf had payed hin unquestionably 2000KS!
Oh man, that was so entertaining. He was worth the 1500. I started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and now look forward to seeing each new video/adventure. Awesome stuff man. Stay safe.
This can actually be a huge opportunity for Masdin; conducting 'urban tours'. And the more he does this the more people will trust him and give less trouble to his guests. Go bodyguard!
@@deenzmartin6695 maybe, the "scam" would only work on foreigners though, and in the end what did all this cost Tom, maybe $20 USD? Especially in Tom's case (or any vlogger) he earned exponentially more with this ~750,000 view video than whatever the guy scammed out of him. Plus whether he's a scammer or not it's useful to have a local with you telling some of the more annoying beggars to get lost (like the people from the bar who followed) and it can help avoid actual muggings/assaults as well. Someone like Tom who's not a big, strong looking guy, who presumably has no combat training, he benefits a lot from having a guy like Masdin around, even if Masdin is attempting low-level scams and expecting payment at the end.
When he told you to give him 1000 shillings, he was hoping you would say it’s too much and you would instead give him something less, but when you agreed straight away he realised that he could get more from you🤣🤣🤣
@@deenzmartin6695 you’re so naive. Tommy only spent $10-15 that day rather than getting jumped and robbed. I would say that’s a real hustle tbh. Especially if you’re in the ghetto. Everyone is struggling and trying to make some money so it’s rare for somebody like him to be so honest and protect him like that.
Most interactive sidekick NPC -everybody knows him -you don't have to worry, because you are with him -genuinely reminds you to just take photo -protects you from getting swiss from others -protects you from spruced(?) SOMEBODYS A MIND
@@RealestOdion From her body language, he actually made Tommy pay her more than the bananas worth. She was kind of reaching into her bag for change but Masdin kept it moving. Then he was bragging how much of a badass he's become nowadays... that he gets the white guys all the way from the sea port. Generally a lot of people ate from Tommy via Masdin. But the 100 he kept asking for is just $1
My goodness! That was Crazy Good!. The ending song is just perfect for this video. The bodyguard took off running after getting paid! Thanks Sabbatical, this video should be a Documentary.
This guy is amazing, AMAAAZING!!! Men i never saw something like this, I love africa but when i saw this guy... He made my day 😂😂 "Wait, Every body knows you" 😂🤣🤣 Thanks Sabatical.
I just stumbled across this vid and started watching them all. Kudos to you! What a beautiful life it must be to travel the world and experience different places. I love it, thx.
Hey Tom, This must have been most thrilling experience for you so far in Mombasa..That ghetto looked quite dangerous. U survived bcoz of that guy Masdin ( though he was over hyped for no reason)...Appreciate your this daring video...Keep it up and be careful too...Love from India...
Masdin did a terrific job, he used body language to make sure everyone respects and listens to him, in Africa this is important if you want to be safe and respected.
😅😅 yeah that part was hilarious,Tom said Mnazi(the drink) but bro heard Nazi(coconut in swahili) 😅😅 so he thought Tom needed a lot Nazi(a lot coconuts) that's why he grabbed a big bag 😅😅😅😅 ...... Nasdin is real hustler 😅😅😅
Hey Sabattical this is crazy!!! Let me say my part if its not for this guy you would have been robbed...very protective and very active. Mombasa is very crazy but "Every body knows me guy is epic" You survived the getto life. Priceless! ❤️
Was looking for this vid I watched a couple months back. Didn't know the creator or details. Tried some keywords to no avail. Entered "everybody know me" and boom, first match. Good job, Masdin!
When they first sat to drink Masdin was worried the others didn’t want Tommy shooting his video, and warned him to hide his camera. But as soon as he had a drink in him, Masdin suddenly could care less , and told Tommy to take his videos as much as he wants- hilarious!, he changed his tune as soon as the alcohol hit!
Masdin was worth the asking price. The creepiest part was the guy kneeling outside the bar, smiling, calculating whether he can steal all of his money, you can see him weighing the options.
@@chrisdovrik2894 I'd say Masdin did good for a tour guy. He wasn't cheap, but I can't imagine going to those slums alone. Also, Tommy's channel is booming right now, so $14 for a tour in the Kenyan favelas is really pennies in exchange of what could happen. Masdin did his job well, not to mention that he put a good show for the channel alone. Everyone got his share, in my opinion, Tommy included.
@DeBesteTop10 How are you comparing a booked tour vs going through a local market and backward slums of Mombasa? Not comparable. The value going to these areas and not enjoying my time being able to record isn’t an experience.
@@chrisdovrik2894 I would rather watch sabbatical walk through a slum in Africa for a moonshine than watch your trip in Paris. That's how entertaining sabbatical is. A brave dude, modern day Indiana Jones💯
I love Masdin, please give us his information, so we can look him up when in Kenya Port. He's a real Legend. I wanna know him too! Thanks Sabbatical for bringing Mombasa best bodyguard, social skills on another level. You are absulutely spot on, He's an Artist. I love the way he hustles.
Subscribed. Great channel. Can see the world from my front room. So entertaining and fun to watch. Really made me laugh watching this. So needed to laugh. Thanks for sharing all your travels. Stay safe
I think everybody knows me means "I can do this. I can get you in and out of this place in one piece". Now I understand when Kenyans say their aggression get them jobs. That was pretty intense. Love from Tanzania
Ok I love that song happiness!!!! 🎉 What I like about you dude is you are so real and the challenges you've met you've kept your cool it doesn't do any good to get angry I'm sure you have gotten angry but the way you deal with day-to-day is amazing however we have no idea just how much you drink lol
A nice side dish of adrenaline with your palm wine? like I'm not even there and even my palms got a little sweaty, how is he able to remain calm? Like even the tour guy was getting a little anxious there, his whole "EVERYBODY KNOWS ME" was freaking me out, I think he was saying it to reassure himself more than anything else.
Some people saying Masdin was just hustling Tom. But honestly, Masdin saved his neck several times. Masdin always made sure he stayed close enough to Tom, took him out of some places when it got sketchy, and got him some Mnazi. This dude guided you through hell and made sure you got out okay. He deserved way more than the $9.30 he originally asked for.
that's clear, that dude must have spend 3 or 4 hours protecting him even in the ghetto, bribing police and security, that bunch of drunk head could have rob Tom
@@randomvideoguy3340 In this context, Patrick didn't say anything wrong. If he was white, he would have said "this white guy" instead. There's no need to assume or insinuate racism when someone is just describing a person based on an obvious aspect about his appearance.
Really appreciate that you've scrubbed through hours of footage to edit, and typed out subtitles. Love the videos and style of film, reminds me a lot of Harald Baldr and Bald and Bankrupt's videography style.
Ladies and gentlemen he’s back! Once again amazing footage Tommy. Superb filming. Be careful out there. Enjoying everything that you put out. Viva la sabbatical. You are a legend my brother!!!!! 🙏
Masdin is a typical Kenyan. Have laughed so hard watching him lead Tom to a coconut vendor..i was suspicious he was not leading him to Mnazi drinking joint at first. Misunderstanding.....communication barrier but am happy he played a big role in making this video a success.
What I like about your videos is that you show what everyday life and living conditions are for the vast majority of us Africans. The videos are authentic. The more I watch them, the more I miss home--the simplicity of life in Africa and the craziness there. Thank you for what you do. And that guy with you... he must be Michael Jackson. Everybody knows him! LOL!
I love how he ran away at the end lol but always thank you for showing me a world I never knew of , education is what we all need in this small world 🌎💞
Masdin knew the assignment.
Paid off his debits in the market, paid officials for future favors, got some good cash himself and made this video 100x better.
Honest hustle if I ever did see one.
Well done Masdin
For real! 😂🤣😂🤣🙌🏽
I talk to this man u pay u go only $1000 sees $5000 uhmm only $1500 classic 😂😂😂🍻

Yes, he robs Tom, technically by giving his money to anyone without the demand.

For protection 😂😂😂
This was comedy gold! SO good that you went with it dude! These are the memorable experiences of travel. That guy definitely knew the assignment
The best part was at 37:45 when a random car drives up and said " Sabbatical I am a fan" And then Masdin says "Wait Everybody knows you"!!!
🤣🤣
I thought you were trolling until I watched it hahaaha
😂😂😂😂
This deserve to b a too comment lol
so nuts lol
Sabbatical - You NEED to make a shirt "Everybody knows me" then have dudes picture on it. Give him $1.00 from every sale. That guys a legend!

#YeIsRight
IT WAS A SCAM
Agreed. Ppl saying it's a scam. I mean i get it. Dude did it hoping he can get money after for sure.
But i mean, you go to open market in an obviously rough place in a 3rd world country but in the safe tourist area.. it was probably really in sabs best interest to give them a $1. He spent like $10 not $50.
Dude got him his drink. Bananas. Got him there and back safe. Made sure to take on the ppl trying to harass him.
So many of these videos the guy they go with just kinda stands around and watches while others bother the person filming.
This guy was running full defense.
I think the issue ppl have is that they are looking at his actions through their own eyes and not his.
If this was America and an American did that to him. Scam. It's a 3rd world country! He literally did a favor.
It's easy to look down on him from our comfort. I just got fast food. I order my groceries pick up. I grew up without a lot of money and it wasn't a big deal even coming from that situation for me to go to school and become a systems engineer. Not needing to try and tour guide random tourists to make good money. I live in a place with law and order.i have a closet full of clothes. Heat. Ac. I live so comfortably i choose to take care of a pet. I buy the pet high quality food.
It would be so easy living like that. In a place where living how i am isn't even middle class. And call him a scammer.
BRO! cut the crap. I'm a North African from Morocco, even in my country which is way more developed than Kenya, $15 is a loooot for what he did.

This video got me hooked, I think the only one who got robbed was Masdin. I would pay to see him again in another video. I love how he opens his book and noted who he paid after each payment
The three most used phrases in this video:
“Don’t worry. You’re with me.”
“Everybody knows me! No problem!”
“Give me 100. Only 100.”
😂
Just take photo
Lol
😂😂😂Only hundred
4!!!! And "just take photo" lol
You're my bodyguard
Omg that was pure comedy😂.. also loved that you included the cab driver's song in the vid❤❤❤
Crazy one bro.Buh next time you visit mombasa,just call him!I also feel i know him😂😂😂
Masdin 😂😂😂 A dedication to his hustle. Furahia furahia🎶🎼🎶...
💯😂👌
Masdin seems to be literally paying off his own debt from different people in the market through "Tom bank"
Paying off debt! That’s exactly what o thought as he went around making notes on his little book. Then he gets $15. Probably ran to brag to his buddies. Or pay off another debt.
What a character. I would never go back there. But..if you do, look for Masdin.
Everybody knows him! Lol
I thought the same thing LOL!! They all had smirks on their faces when Masdin "worked a deal" for Tom ... You're a brave one Tom - cuz that place was scary.
LMFAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if he owes money to almost everyone in the market and that's the reason why no one can forget him. 😆
@@tangtsiu HAHAHA!!!!
People in those bars do not like cameras around because they are brewing illegal brews. They do not have licenses to do it and are very wary of authorities. That is why they are very hostile.
Wisdom I did not know.
2nd time I've watched this now - still can't decide whether I prefer your 'craziness' vids or the calm ,educational ones.
Can't split it , love 'em both!
I died laughing when he’s like “wait everybody knows YOU” after saying everybody knows me the whole video 🤣
And the "you're my bodyguard" part 🤣
The final plot twist lol
Bro that shit had me cracking up to 🤣😂
I loved that at the end. Truly a cinematic moment.
isn't it possible and true...I dont get your point.
Masdin made sure all his boys had a share of the cake !! GOVERNOR
LOL
That's what I said, he was politicking. That's how you win friends & influence people. Make sure the people eat and the people will have your back. Or as Masdin put it, "Everybody knows me. Don't worry." .... he gets into any trouble, one of the dozens of people he's fed will come and help him out of his trouble.
10:35 that area looks familiar I know I seen that area in a meme or something
You put yourself into crazy situations mate. But Jembe was there to save the day...kept things moving so no situation could brew out of control...knew exactly when to bail...I appreciate his skill...hustler wa mtaa!
as I mentioned The body guard tour guide deserved his pay. in fact when he siad 1000KS I would had duoubled it! and would thanked him soe his services! You isted protested and gave him the 500Ks Extra asked. No hard feelings you showed no apesciation for the pesson who took you inside, kept you safe and brought you back uncrached! Yes he deserved the 1500KS and as I mentioned I woulf had payed hin unquestionably 2000KS!
Masdin hijacked this video he's hilarious, "everyone knows me!"
Even though he's slowly ripping you off he's highly entertaining
Even in California we know him, everybody knows him 🇺🇸
😂😂😂
I never heard anybody called his name
After this video we all truely know him. Infact we should make him into a meme.
I'm from California. Can confirm I know him
Here in Germany we know him. Legend...
Oh man, that was so entertaining. He was worth the 1500. I started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago and now look forward to seeing each new video/adventure. Awesome stuff man. Stay safe.
This can actually be a huge opportunity for Masdin; conducting 'urban tours'. And the more he does this the more people will trust him and give less trouble to his guests. Go bodyguard!
HE'S A SCAM ARTIST
@@deenzmartin6695 maybe, the "scam" would only work on foreigners though, and in the end what did all this cost Tom, maybe $20 USD? Especially in Tom's case (or any vlogger) he earned exponentially more with this ~750,000 view video than whatever the guy scammed out of him. Plus whether he's a scammer or not it's useful to have a local with you telling some of the more annoying beggars to get lost (like the people from the bar who followed) and it can help avoid actual muggings/assaults as well. Someone like Tom who's not a big, strong looking guy, who presumably has no combat training, he benefits a lot from having a guy like Masdin around, even if Masdin is attempting low-level scams and expecting payment at the end.
@@mortox2k SCAM APOLOGIST.
@@deenzmartin6695 bro how broke r u?
@@Darwizzyjr VERY
I’m from Ireland and I know for a fact everybody knows him here! What a guy. He truly had your back!
🤣🤣🤣
HE WAS A SCAM ARTIST
@@deenzmartin6695 But he wasnt violent nor rude...
He was kind,nice and polite.He used rare opportunity to feed his family.
@@Finis.Terrae when did i say he was violent or rude?
I’m from Sweden and it’s the same here 😂
This was the most entertaining and stressful travel vlog I've seen.
And how he ran at the end... haha!
He clearly wanted to spend that money on something.
The way he ran at the end killed me!!
He ran because now he is alone at this bikerscorner !
Iv'e got a golden ticket!
@@karibugrocerydeli8258 he ran to pick up his 50% cut from all the 100s he gave away
His first words as a child “ Everybody knows me” 😆
😂🤣🤣
He born famous 😂😂😂😂
When he told you to give him 1000 shillings, he was hoping you would say it’s too much and you would instead give him something less, but when you agreed straight away he realised that he could get more from you🤣🤣🤣
I think Sabbatical was thankful to him for not getting stabbed hah.
He deserves the 1 k, Everybody knows me😅, he made the video more fun
probly ran right back to drinking den
He earned that shit I'd happily pay him at the end of that adventure.
@@Koda716 I’m not saying he didn’t earn it
Mad respect to kids like this who is able to make a honest hustle, His energy just bring a smile on your face. I hope he succeed
Exactly, that was an honest hustle. No one was left broke that day.
HE'S A SCAM ARTIST
@@deenzmartin6695 you’re so naive. Tommy only spent $10-15 that day rather than getting jumped and robbed. I would say that’s a real hustle tbh. Especially if you’re in the ghetto. Everyone is struggling and trying to make some money so it’s rare for somebody like him to be so honest and protect him like that.
@@shakirabenjimin7249 SCAM
Doesn't make it honest. Still, Tom got a deal, but that was not a great guy@@shakirabenjimin7249
Shout out to that women at the Airbnb. seems like a sweet ladie
I absolutely love how someone recognized you because of your videos
Masdin ,wait everybody knows you 🤣🤣
Some youtubers would put a topic "AVOID THIS GUY IN MOMBASA". But Tom handled him very well
Impossibru when everybody knows him tho..
Yes yes!
This sounds like Gongo Champion you're referring to. lol
Most interactive sidekick NPC
-everybody knows him
-you don't have to worry, because you are with him
-genuinely reminds you to just take photo
-protects you from getting swiss from others
-protects you from spruced(?) SOMEBODYS A MIND
😂😂🤣
😭
Banana girl knows him for sure and is tired of his shit, her face was priceless 30:25 hilarious video, 1500 was a bargain!
Haha I thought so too.
She was like do you want bananas or not
1500 was a massive amount for him. He would have happily taken 300. The banana woman was the best, annoyed like me watching this hustler.
Masdine likes that girl he deliberately took tommy past a dozen banana stalls to brag next to her 🤣🤣🤣
@@RealestOdion From her body language, he actually made Tommy pay her more than the bananas worth. She was kind of reaching into her bag for change but Masdin kept it moving. Then he was bragging how much of a badass he's become nowadays... that he gets the white guys all the way from the sea port. Generally a lot of people ate from Tommy via Masdin. But the 100 he kept asking for is just $1
My goodness! That was Crazy Good!. The ending song is just perfect for this video. The bodyguard took off running after getting paid! Thanks Sabbatical, this video should be a Documentary.
What a good ending,.. I love that guy, masdin
We all know him.
Dude is such a hustler. Love him. But mostly, know him. Everybody does.
Now that's what I call a travel vlog! 🤣 I was genuinely stressed out and on the edge of my seat for the entire second half .
Masdin for 37 minutes : Everybody knows me
Masdin at 38th: What? Everybody knows you😳
best comment ever hahaha
Hahaha, but I wish I meet mesdin, he seems to be a good tour guy
loooool
ohh god u won
😂😂😂😂
I started laughing when Masdin bought the sack to go buy mnazi😂😂😂😂😂😂...I knew you were in for a ride
😂😂
😂😂😂😂 very funny misunderstanding…
Hi Viv
@@kemboibenjamin_ hi wassup
He did not believe a mzungu wantsto drink that earlier kwanza mnazi😂
"Don't worried you with me." " Everyone know me." "Even the police know me." A thousand times Tommy. Your wifes must be proud of you.
😁😁😁😁🤣
i wanted to say the same thing
😁😁😁😁🤣
Sabatical your exceptional cause you can mingle with the world
You forgot "give me a hundred"
I had the Mexican version of this guy in Juarez Mexico. 😆 They actually keep you safe. Money talks bro.
Now the whole world knows Masdin!
He must be a good tour guider
Courageous guide among dozens of sharks.
@@Mataikayo He's more like a damned menace.
Someone should make a viral meme with this guy. “Everybody knows me”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I cant stop laughing 😅😅, even the police knows him
Every town has that kinda type of guy, everybody knows me here bro!! 🤣🤣🤣
I will
@@hetduurzameboek8455 Facts in the us its always the old head outside liquor stores 😭
Lol I love how in the beginning you were suspicious of him but by then end you were like "Masdin, I need you come with me to Nigeria" 😂
😂❤️
Lmbo 😂😂
This guy is amazing, AMAAAZING!!! Men i never saw something like this, I love africa but when i saw this guy... He made my day 😂😂 "Wait, Every body knows you" 😂🤣🤣 Thanks Sabatical.
Even in France 🇨🇵 we know him👍, everybody knows him😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 tt le monde le connaît
Whole of Europe 🇪🇺will soon know him!!😆
😂😂😂
😂😂👍🏿
🤣🤣
Masdin: don’t film around here too dangerous
Also Masdin 2 shots in: take your camera out and start filming
😂😂😂
Alcohol always makes us choose vayolens..why?😩😩🤣🤣
gimme hundred, only hundred
It's cause he gained their trust after the first two cups
😂😂😂
The way he took off after getting 1500 shillings is hilarious 😂
People would realise he got paid for being his guide so he dips out quick hide it
@@JK.47 True he has to scatter super fast or he will be mugged lol
Hi bet he’s running back to his car parking job that he abandoned for a few hours while being a bodyguard. Lol
I THINK HE WAS GOING TO COLLECT ALL THE SOFT LOANS HE HAD APPROVED FROM TOMMIES BANK.
I wonder what the monthly wage is around there. I am going to guess he just got at least a months pay for a couple of hours work.
I just stumbled across this vid and started watching them all. Kudos to you! What a beautiful life it must be to travel the world and experience different places. I love it, thx.
Hey Tom, This must have been most thrilling experience for you so far in Mombasa..That ghetto looked quite dangerous. U survived bcoz of that guy Masdin ( though he was over hyped for no reason)...Appreciate your this daring video...Keep it up and be careful too...Love from India...
Absolutely right
it seems like everybody knows him
Everybody knows me even the Kenyan police, hahaha
Honestly if you visit the place, you will understand the excitement. Masdin was just being Masdin. And the fact that Tom had a great time, means alot
Masdin did a terrific job, he used body language to make sure everyone respects and listens to him, in Africa this is important if you want to be safe and respected.
I just thought it was funny when he realized you didnt want coconut and was like he bought a bag for nothing.
😅😅 yeah that part was hilarious,Tom said Mnazi(the drink) but bro heard Nazi(coconut in swahili) 😅😅 so he thought Tom needed a lot Nazi(a lot coconuts) that's why he grabbed a big bag 😅😅😅😅 ...... Nasdin is real hustler 😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ntwarimico4889 great man thanks for that 😂😂
Hey Sabattical this is crazy!!! Let me say my part if its not for this guy you would have been robbed...very protective and very active. Mombasa is very crazy but "Every body knows me guy is epic" You survived the getto life. Priceless! ❤️
Was looking for this vid I watched a couple months back. Didn't know the creator or details. Tried some keywords to no avail. Entered "everybody know me" and boom, first match. Good job, Masdin!
When they first sat to drink Masdin was worried the others didn’t want Tommy shooting his video, and warned him to hide his camera. But as soon as he had a drink in him, Masdin suddenly could care less , and told Tommy to take his videos as much as he wants- hilarious!, he changed his tune as soon as the alcohol hit!
Did you noticed, the bodyguard never said a swear word?
That the power of alcohol.. 😁😂😂😂✌️
@@Yanna.v9972 yes, and that's how ppl get in trouble .
YOU SHOULD MAKE MASDIN T-SHIRT ” EVERYBODY KNOWS ME “
That was extreme workout I bet you didn't need the gym after, the pace was crazy!
Masdin was worth the asking price. The creepiest part was the guy kneeling outside the bar, smiling, calculating whether he can steal all of his money, you can see him weighing the options.
You are brave. I live in Mombasa and I visit Kongowea occasionally but I'd never risk going in such areas.
I have a bad feeling , Tommy is a great person but he can be a bit naive and too trusting..hope nothing will happen
Exactly. He was basically prey for all of these vultures. Dude hustler him for 1500 shillings for just walking around and using him as a ATM.
@@chrisdovrik2894 I'd say Masdin did good for a tour guy. He wasn't cheap, but I can't imagine going to those slums alone. Also, Tommy's channel is booming right now, so $14 for a tour in the Kenyan favelas is really pennies in exchange of what could happen. Masdin did his job well, not to mention that he put a good show for the channel alone. Everyone got his share, in my opinion, Tommy included.
@DeBesteTop10 How are you comparing a booked tour vs going through a local market and backward slums of Mombasa? Not comparable. The value going to these areas and not enjoying my time being able to record isn’t an experience.
@@chrisdovrik2894 I would rather watch sabbatical walk through a slum in Africa for a moonshine than watch your trip in Paris. That's how entertaining sabbatical is. A brave dude, modern day Indiana Jones💯
I love Masdin, please give us his information, so we can look him up when in Kenya Port. He's a real Legend. I wanna know him too! Thanks Sabbatical for bringing Mombasa best bodyguard, social skills on another level. You are absulutely spot on, He's an Artist. I love the way he hustles.
Made it in safely
Exited safely
I'm sold
@@krypttoenight9971 + he got to experience everything lol :D
Dude he knows nobody in port..he was just flexing
I don’t know if he’s legit or not, but he was certainly worth the entertainment alone!
Subscribed. Great channel. Can see the world from my front room. So entertaining and fun to watch. Really made me laugh watching this. So needed to laugh. Thanks for sharing all your travels. Stay safe
Bruh 😂😂🤣 in the end he was like "Wait everybody knows you" 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
When a fan hollered ,he was bewildered 🤣🤣
Today's video seems like an action movie courtesy of the bodyguard. I like the rare character and zeal the guy presents. 🔥🔥🔥👌
When someone says 'everybody knows me" like 293 times, you can be sure that guy is a hustler.
definitely, low level local hustler from my home town. local market for low budget earners.
@@carlosss891 lol
It also gives that sense of security
You know it's a Hussle when "boss" "don't worry"
"listen to me'
Tommy, you are like Job!
I appreciate these videos very much! Wow! I’ll pass on Africa, and continue exploring Central and South America!
I think everybody knows me means "I can do this. I can get you in and out of this place in one piece". Now I understand when Kenyans say their aggression get them jobs. That was pretty intense. Love from Tanzania
Masdin: Everybody knows me including the Kenyan Police
(Walking towards a police post)
Masdin: Hey, lets buy a mask, those people will arrest us 🤣
Masdin: wait lets buy a mask because those people can 'catch' you without a mask 🤣
Police in Kenya are like nobody's friend even if you think they know you👮👮♂️
😂😂😂
He said they know him, but he didn't say they were his friends...
😂😂😂😂
Ok I love that song happiness!!!! 🎉 What I like about you dude is you are so real and the challenges you've met you've kept your cool it doesn't do any good to get angry I'm sure you have gotten angry but the way you deal with day-to-day is amazing however we have no idea just how much you drink lol
this was very comical, I loved it! Also, I really loved the song at the end by the taxi driver. I wish I could get it to purchase.
Furahia, furahia, furahia kazi yako🎶
A nice side dish of adrenaline with your palm wine? like I'm not even there and even my palms got a little sweaty, how is he able to remain calm? Like even the tour guy was getting a little anxious there, his whole "EVERYBODY KNOWS ME" was freaking me out, I think he was saying it to reassure himself more than anything else.
yeah I think so too
Masdin rocks!!! Wow. This was the most amusing video yet Tommy. Amazing stuff. I loved this
Some people saying Masdin was just hustling Tom. But honestly, Masdin saved his neck several times. Masdin always made sure he stayed close enough to Tom, took him out of some places when it got sketchy, and got him some Mnazi. This dude guided you through hell and made sure you got out okay. He deserved way more than the $9.30 he originally asked for.
He was saving Tom for himself 🤭
@Patrick Bantering They're all black, why did you need to specify his skin color?
@@randomvideoguy3340 It's alright he didn't mean anything by it.
that's clear, that dude must have spend 3 or 4 hours protecting him even in the ghetto, bribing police and security, that bunch of drunk head could have rob Tom
@@randomvideoguy3340 In this context, Patrick didn't say anything wrong. If he was white, he would have said "this white guy" instead. There's no need to assume or insinuate racism when someone is just describing a person based on an obvious aspect about his appearance.
Really appreciate that you've scrubbed through hours of footage to edit, and typed out subtitles. Love the videos and style of film, reminds me a lot of Harald Baldr and Bald and Bankrupt's videography style.
EVERYONE KNOWS ME, should have been the title here.
😂😂😂😅👍
And the sharks ?
Ladies and gentlemen he’s back! Once again amazing footage Tommy. Superb filming. Be careful out there. Enjoying everything that you put out. Viva la sabbatical. You are a legend my brother!!!!! 🙏
Masdin is a typical Kenyan. Have laughed so hard watching him lead Tom to a coconut vendor..i was suspicious he was not leading him to Mnazi drinking joint at first. Misunderstanding.....communication barrier but am happy he played a big role in making this video a success.
LOL- How entertaining was that. We need a part two from that guy.
What I like about your videos is that you show what everyday life and living conditions are for the vast majority of us Africans. The videos are authentic. The more I watch them, the more I miss home--the simplicity of life in Africa and the craziness there. Thank you for what you do.
And that guy with you... he must be Michael Jackson. Everybody knows him! LOL!
The intensity,chaotic,the memes potential,Masdin is Legend.
I love how he ran away at the end lol but always thank you for showing me a world I never knew of , education is what we all need in this small world 🌎💞
Thank you for all the knowledge and laughter Masdin Jembe. Truly a pro
