Do you actully watch streaming apps other than youtube for travel content? Then you have a lot to watch on youtube when you get around finding all the great channels this platform have, i have used i for over 10 years now as my main source and you can never watch everything in your life time, it's way to much to see on here, many channels have been around for 10-15 years + now... Some great ones have allso shut down allmost comp, people are getting old... But afther crona has eysed, many have come back againe full time✌🏻
@@PresidentEgg kurt kaz, bald and bankrupt, harold balder, itchy boots, Destinatione Adventure, Food Travel channels: Food Ranger, Mark Wiens, "Erik surf" he is only in japan. I have many more, just hard to remember all, in this everlasting pumping content we have now... :)
@@seanwan30 Have mentioned some down belove, i have such a broad spectrum of interest that going thrue my channels is a no go, i'm subbed to 1000's of channels, but i have been on youtube since 2007(the start) And if i like the travel channels it dont mean you guys do, everone has different interest and looks on things :) Hope it did help you guys some, and youtube is really great to pick up on your interest afther what you are watching to every time, so they will automatic recomend channels to you with same kind of content...
As an iraqi grown up in sweden it has been difficult to correct some stereotype thoughts People have about my country and sometimes it just feels hopeless, especially when lies are faster than the truth.But videos like this made by people with good heart gives me reliefs. Thanks from my heart for showing the real side of my country. God bless you!
I want to visit now thanks to the Wonton Don. Even as a Canadian Iraq in mainstream media is portrayed as a desert failed state... Donnie with the kids has me more emotional than I ever want to be.
The Dons content makes major media companies look elementary and Barstool hit the freakin jackpot signing him. He needs to be 7 figures a year if not already. I’m a Wonton Rider til the end baby!!!!
@@codygooch510 I'm assuming its bc Dave knows he's way too talented to stay at Barstool after his contract expires. Big $ offers coming Donnie's way soon
I'm Lebanese and love my fellow Iraqi brothers and sisters, they gave us the wheel! how dare politics hurt them, I'm glad you're having a great authentic time Don
Stumbling across this page with the Iraqi series has completely changed my opinion on Iraq as a country. This channel has been on point and Don needs way more recognition.
Your words at the end couldn't be more true. I've been there twice with the military and the little contact I had with locals was just like you said, they are just like us, trying to survive and have some fun. I always loved meeting locals during my travels abroad. Love how well you connect with people, well done my man.
This entire series genuinely changed my (rather ignorant) view of Iraq. As you did with China too, you are my favorite channel Donnie PLEASE never stop!
Don - this has to be my favorite video of yours bud. As an American with Iraqi immigrant parents, I’ve never really felt a strong desire to go and visit their home until seeing this. This is awesome, thanks for sharing your experience
I'm so happy to see the marsh Arab habitat is coming back. I read the Wilfrid Thesiger book, 'The Marsh Arabs' years ago and was fascinated by the landscape and lifestyle he described so well.
Donnie, I’ve been struggling from severe depression for about 1.5 years. I’ve recently found your videos, and they have legit made me happy to be alive again. Thank you for being such a genuine human being. Watching sports with you would be a dream come true. I can’t wait to try 3 beers and a fanta next time I’m on the sauce. Xoxo Häns
I've been there. Just remember than many others have it way worse than you, and can't even get away from it. I hope you get some help. There are people out there that care about you. I don't know you, but I care about you.
Great vid my father worked for a german steel company in the 80's in iraq this is bringing back good memories love the people of iraq thank you donnie!...big fan from germany
Pumped I finally found this channel a couple weeks ago, binged most of the vids and am pretty much caught up. Thanks for making these, dude. Really valuable.
Please dont stop traveling and creating. This is pure talent and I hope it gets recognized...You do this job so well. F*ck National Geographic...I need that Wonton Don special every week. Best content on Barstool by far....
Donny incredibly powerful & personal video for me. My dad left Iraq 50 years ago and used to spend his summers visiting the marshes and grilling mesgouf. Your video for the first time in 50 years allowed him to visualise his memories and for me see how he grew up. An incredibly emotional and special moment for us, thank you so much ❤️
this was one of the cooler videos you’ve ever done and i’ve seen almost all of em. excellent work mr. don. thanks for showing us a modern look at this ancient civilization
Following The Dons content over the years and watching him evolve from mostly satire into more serious and heartfelt travel journalism has been amazing. And the quality of these videos is so high, waaayy better than 90% of the scripted set up crap on streaming services currently. Im honestly surprised Donnie hasn’t had Netflix execs in his inbox asking for a full 6 part show. Keep it going Donnie, we love you and what you do for us and the world by making these videos!
This is incredible journalism. You're doing work better than National Geographic or any of the news channels, by many miles. I feel blessed to have watched this, really. Fantastic documentation of life outside the scope of what we normally see
Donnie is doing more for international relations than the UN. It's beautiful to see the wide range of cultures and people Donnie is able to show us. As always Donnie I'm excited to see more of what you have to share so keep up the good work and enjoy some hoons and termies for me.
Thank you Wonton Don, I love your channel. This one hit me hard, I was deployed their in 2006-2007 and I really felt for the reed marsh people. What a beautiful life
I remember Hussein tried to dam up, and deystroy this area. I'm glad to see it has bounced back. Great journey here, thanks for showing us the beautiful people of Iraq.🇮🇶🇺🇸✌
Been watching Don for a couple years now. I was the biggest Anthony Bourdain fan, and Donnie is the first travel guide to really come close. His work really puts you in that setting. He’s got a follower for life
We as Americans are only shown the bad and the ugly in our media and I’m so glad Don is able to bring light to their everyday life. This looked like an amazing time I’m glad you got to experience it and even more glad you’re able to share it with us.
This genuinely makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, I feel like you're starting to become almost like Steve Irwin in the way that he would bring so many cultures together and brought so many such joy... Good on ya Donnie! Hi ho!
Thank you! Thank you for being you and nothing more than what you believe and want to experience! It is truly appreciated that you take us the viewer’s along on your ride! Cant wait to see where you get to next!
Donnie’s videos help me realize that we’re all in this together. No matter where you go in the world, we are people just trying to do our best and treat others kindly. Love the message you had at the end there, Don. You the man
Don is just such a likable guy everyone loves him. Awesome to see everyone smile and laugh while around him. What an amazing job showing off Iraq and their culture.
I spent 2 years over there in 08 and 09 as a civilian firefighter for the US and have been watching so many travel videos of Iraq lately. I find myself drawn to want to go back and visit. Of the Iraqis I knew they were always kind people to me. Your videos have been the best so far and seem more true to nature. I hope to take a trip in the spring !
*Allāh ʾakbar* and proceeds to make a sick jump into the water, kids having fun! Great video Donnie, you showed me new things and i have a ton of fun, thanks again!
Man Donnie, it’s crazy how good this series is, thanks for doing these. Not only are these vids funny and thoughtful - but I feel like they’re more important than anything.
Donny this is so fucking awesome -- I've been a long time fan and this might be my fave human interaction experience. Spirit of adventure -- cheers to you and the Iraqi people, bud!
multiple laugh out loud moments (as with every video The Don puts out) but what an especially quality watch from start to finish. Don't ever stop, this is special stuff
Love this type of video and travel gave me goose bumps through the whole thing. How Don is not regarded as the king of travel and culture exploring I will never know
Hey Donnie I understand that it is a lot of work to put these out but man, we NEED more content from you. Everything you do is so good I cant wait for a whole week everytime. I would be interested in a podcast, kinda like the ones you did before Iraq.
Donnie always impresses. His ability to give an inside-out look into every place he visits is unbelievable. He gives you a look into what it’s like to be a local, which is so difficult to do. If you wanna see what the world looks like, turn off the news, and turn on The Wonton Don!
Definitely could be a Paul Simon song. He has one about drinking ayahuasca in Peru. Thank you for another inspiring and vicarious window into your world.
One of the best experiences I’ve had abroad. Marsh Arab life is the life for me.
Hey Donnie.. just about any fish cut down the middle and opened up looks like a flounder.. idk why but I laughed at that lmao
Best content on UA-cam.
Awesome series here, Donnie. Abdu had an all time Hoon Squat, from what I could tell.
@@codygooch510 looked like a carp to me
Beautiful work Don
This is better than most the travel shows on streaming apps and we get this for free on UA-cam. Lucky to have you Donnie

Keep your head up, champ. We love you!
And to think that the Marsh Arabs were almost destroyed by Saddam Hussein! Glad he's in the ground
I'm an Iraqi that grew up in Canada. I never knew places like this exsisted. I love Iraq so much.
The Dons content makes major media companies look elementary and Barstool hit the freakin jackpot signing him. He needs to be 7 figures a year if not already. I’m a Wonton Rider til the end baby!!!!
Don’t get why they don’t promote the fuck out of him. Dave RARELY speaks about Donnie.
Came here to say the same thing
This guy is the fun, silly Anthony bordain. The guy goes deep everywhere he goes. A true traveler
@@codygooch510

I am in the same situation and just visited for the first time. Highly recommend it. I had so much fun
Do it, man!
@@adamalmousawi1946 I completely agree, went a few months ago and really had the time of my life! It’s totally worth seeing at least once
That shot of everyone huddled around the fire is so cozy.
I'm so happy to see the marsh Arab habitat is coming back. I read the Wilfrid Thesiger book, 'The Marsh Arabs' years ago and was fascinated by the landscape and lifestyle he described so well.
These Iraq episodes have been super cool. Iraqi people seem so genuinely kind. The narration at the end really hits hard. Great work Donnie
Don, how you'd not rate the wing chef's squat by the fire?? That was a perfect 10 of 10!
I saw that too, perfect hoon squat
That man could win a hoon squat competition in Beijing!
Yeah I thumbs up every comment on this video... almost.. but this was the best and most true Donnie does fan comment I've seen
You can never rate a ten!! Where do you go from there. Dave Portnoy classic rule.
Donnie needs to do a strain hunting series in the Middle East like he did in china looking for green hoons
I will go with him for sure as a intern
Probably more hash than green
Deep cut reference hell yea
Anyone got a link to this episode?
@@hawaii5-084 You do realize that hash IS weed right? its the kief from buds thats compressed into bricks.

What an experience. Keep spreading that love around the world Donnie
Great vid my father worked for a german steel company in the 80's in iraq this is bringing back good memories love the people of iraq thank you donnie!...big fan from germany
Donnie deserves a Pulitzer for this episode alone. Can't wait for the rest of the series.
Pumped I finally found this channel a couple weeks ago, binged most of the vids and am pretty much caught up. Thanks for making these, dude. Really valuable.
There’s an og 2nd channel where ALL the real good content lives.
Hey dude so glad to have you as a fellow late to the party
Another banger of course. Donnie, you do such a great job of traveling in a way that all can relate too and aspire to achieve

Seriously fired up for this one.... Bring on the marsh madness!

Don is just such a likable guy everyone loves him. Awesome to see everyone smile and laugh while around him. What an amazing job showing off Iraq and their culture.
As a marsh man, absolutely Love to see that Marsh life has no country borders

Of the Iraqis I knew they were always kind people to me. Your videos have been the best so far and seem more true to nature. I hope to take a trip in the spring !
Such a thoughtful and powerful message at the end don, incredible footage and the marsh arabs seem to be incredible souls
I am digging this so much man! Thank you for being you and sharing this with all of us.
LOVED the impromptu Mesopotamian Marsh-people circle pit. That was hardcore at it's finest.
You have mosh pit, we have marsh pit lol
Legendary! Thank you!!
The Don is a journalist unlike any other. I want the algorithm to bring more brethren to the cause so I leave this comment of unending support.
Wow, I was captured from beginning to end. Did not realize how much time I spent by the time the video was over. Amazing vlog.
Simply the best video you’ve released. Love to see the real side of Iraq we never get.
Thank you, sir, for visiting my beloved country
Iraq is very beautiful! I wish to visit one day and feast on the street food!

Man Donnie, it’s crazy how good this series is, thanks for doing these. Not only are these vids funny and thoughtful - but I feel like they’re more important than anything.
The most educational and real content on barstool, the game shows are great. But this man puts out only bangers.
A true humanitarian. I've been very uplifted by The Don's content, he is a true journalist. Thank you for showing us the real.
Well said wonton don! As an Egyptian American I get that ppl think certain things about the culture! Appreciate you taking a dive in
Great series Donnie! Iraq looks awesome, huge respect to all of those guys, they seem so hospitable and lovely!
I am so happy y’all made the trip to Iraq! Great video as always
Best donnie video weve ever seen. Literally felt like crying from happiness and i want nothing more than to visit the loving middle east
Just wow. Best heartwarming thing I’ve seen on UA-cam in hours.
Honestly one of the best series I’ve seen, just a dude out here enjoying life
Crazy to think people were living almost exactly like this for thousands of years
Just imagine!
I always love how Donny actually plays music similar to the area he's in not a lot of travel channels do that props my guy
Donny this is so fucking awesome -- I've been a long time fan and this might be my fave human interaction experience. Spirit of adventure -- cheers to you and the Iraqi people, bud!
Don, wow. This was such a great episode, and glad that YOU were the one to capture such unique beauty of Iraq. Thank you.
Donnie is one of the few people I give a like to on UA-cam. Guys like this just deserve it. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the world.
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible. Loved every second of this and what your do. So special
Freaking FANTASTIC content and such a unique insight into a world most of us didn't even know exists! Love the Hippo Hoons! Cheers from Georgia Don!
multiple laugh out loud moments (as with every video The Don puts out) but what an especially quality watch from start to finish. Don't ever stop, this is special stuff
Keep up the good spirit in iraq dude
Literally im enjoying listening to the old dudes, they sound like my grandpa
You're living it and I'm along for the ride.
Love you Donnie
Dude I'm Iraqi but live in the UK and you've experienced more of Iraq than I have hahaha. Wish I can visit again soon
Love this type of video and travel gave me goose bumps through the whole thing. How Don is not regarded as the king of travel and culture exploring I will never know
These videos are great thank you. It's a relief life is finally, hopefully, possibly returning to normal for some people.
Everybody everywhere just trying to live, i wish you many blessings!
Amazing how historic that area is. Great video Mr. Don
This feels like classic donny thank you for the video hope you continue to travel to see new cultures.

Once again, The Wonton Don brings the goods! Best travel show around and it's not even close.
Donnie rockin the shades inside, in the middle of the night, in front of the fire is too funny. Gummy tummy had me geekin!
this is so heartwarming. i really appreciate this one donnie
A1 content. It's criminal that the Don doesn't have at least 1M subs..... The content and production quality is next level.
Would be a dream to be able to travel with Donnie, he just fits in everywhere.
Definitely could be a Paul Simon song. He has one about drinking ayahuasca in Peru. Thank you for another inspiring and vicarious window into your world.
donnie deserves an hbo show and film crew. incredible work dude.
Fantastic sode Big Donnie. You could really see that this adventure touched a special spot in your heart.
The Don is the fucking best, your special power is your authenticity!!! Greetings from The Netherlands
bruh thanks for the videos it makes me want to visit. cheers to the good people of Iraq from the US!
That was incredible. Everyone should travel out of their comfort zone every once in a while. That closing dialogue was spot one. Well done Donnie!!!
This is just awesome. Welcome to Iraq dear. God bless you.
This was a beautiful documentary full of love and humanity thank you ❤
really appreciate this video don. extremely humbling. loved to see how kind you were. keep it up
It’s so crazy how good Donnie’s content is. It’s just educational comedy. Perfect
Nice one, Donny. Great videos of Iraq.
This channel always has amazing videos I have add and they are they only videos I can actually watch all the way through.
This is a heartwarming video with all the kids
Such wonderful generous people. great video it made me chill
