I've been a big fan for a long long time. It's wild, the more I get to know him, the more I like him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Wait, I'm not trustworthy? Fair. Ray really is the most trustworthy reviewer online. I'm a huge fan. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Damn, I didn't realize how much time and work all this must take. Where else is there time for family? Great respect Ray for your best work and you Matt for this idea👍
Good call Paul, it’s an insane about of work. I realize I put out about 1/5th the amount of content as Ray and it already feels overwhelming. It’s all extremely impressive. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Nice. I have been following Ray’s great stuff since his blogger days when he would travel back to Seattle from DC and perform some amazing skiing, blasting down hills to see the speeds he and his brother could obtain, and then the same day drive back to Seattle, jump on his bike and do a long ride. One impressive athlete and human!
Very cool! Yeah, I'm a huge fan. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Before seeing this I was unaware of this channel but watch all of Ray’s videos since the beginning. He tells it like it is and his videos are fun to watch.
Ray is a legend. Good guy for sure. The more I get to know him, the more I'm impressed. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Not plans to do more yet but I hope our paths will cross again. I really enjoy these guys. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Really enjoyed that. Always thought that must be hard work to produce DC Rainmaker videos and you have convinced me that it is! Thanks both for doing that.
He works really hard on these videos. Super fun to get the opportunity to sit down and ask him how it all comes together. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Thanks Matt...a look behind the curtain. Ray is part of a select few "go to" reviewers who provide in depth content in an objective manner. How he keeps track of everything amazes me.
The more I get to know Ray, the more I like the guy. This was a fun one. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Me too. Really good guy. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. 👏 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Nice job, Matt. Always enjoy seeing your content on here. Great to see something a little different too! I'm sure we will see some more down the road on other creators (hopefully someone will have one on you too).
Who else would you like to see? @DesFit ? It'd be fun to make this into a series. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand yeah - DesFit would be great. Chaser the Summit too, maybe? I’d like to see one on you to be honest. Your production quality is off the charts.
Ha! I felt like I was fumbling through this one without any real plan. But it was really fun chatting with Ray on this one. Super fun video. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Hi, Really amazing stuff, so, thanks first of all Matt because it was really great idea this interview! Mainly of course thanks Ray for opening his amazing world to us to viewers! I think most of us, and by us i mean the simple people that we love doing sports and we love sport watches and gudgets, i think we all started delve in to it by watchind Ray's channel. And of course over the years came Des, Dave, Matt, for these guys we feel like was really our friends! Is the friend to whom i want to show my new watch, or to discuss about that or to programme together the next running in our spare time. Simple as that! So thank you guys all! And thank you Ray for being pioneer to this field and doing these really interesting and pleasant stuff! Respect! Greetings from Finland
Ray really was the original. He clearly just had a passion for this type of reporting. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! What were you doing in the Netherlands?? I'm amazed at the amount of stuff you guys have to buy...it shows so much commitment and love to the community. WE LOVE YOU. I also love that you're wearing a Camas shirt! This was quite the treat watching this morning.
@@mlegrand no problem, you are making some great content and I appreciate your deep insights. I actually started a new channel, Nurse2tech that is currently being developed for my day job.
I'll do something like that at some point. I'll try to make it fun and different. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
DC Rainmaker is quite simply a god. Given today's environmental and fire safety concerns he chooses to communicate through UA-cam in preference to burning bushes. Heed his word. Count yourself fortunate Matt in being permitted to enter his kingdom.
Oh I consider myself very fortunate. I did have to sacrifice a lamb at the alter of the DCR Cave but it was well worth it. I do think a burning bush is a good medium for communication. Maybe he'll bring it back. 😂 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
💯 - It's better to be a bit skeptical when trying to find the true DC Rainmaker. 😂 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
It's a really good group of people. Dave, Des and Ray. All good guys. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
For sure. OG! 😂 It was super nice of him to do this interview style video with me. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
It’s a DCRainmaker Lego guy. The Dialed Cycling Lego guy is in the same team welcome kit along with a new BMC bike and the sprinter van. You got one of those right?
No offence but I deliver things for a living. Many people have the same box. A door bell camera works better to alert you to new delivery’s and provides several other features.
It's an impressive studio for sure. I highly recommend checking it out at his next Open House. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
100% agree. I'm a huge fan of this guy and the more I've got to know him, the more I've really liked him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Not entirely sure what to do with a 3XL shirt that I couldn't actually even remove from my purchase order (it was free, but, I don't need a t-shirt that big).
He used to work selling and supporting Microsoft enterprise service stuff. Now he’s full time DC Rainmaker. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Unbelievable. So he CAN talk normally. He chooses to talk fast in his videos, makes no sense. Many people have told him to talk slower but he won't listen. It's obviously a tactic to get people to think he's saying something very important. I used to think it was some kind of speech impediment, but no, he's doing that crap on purpose.
He's probably trying to get the listener as much information in as short amount of time as possible. 🤷♂️ I've noticed it's a common trend on UA-cam. In fact, some comments on my channel complain about how slow I talk or suggest to others to watch on 2x speed. 😬
Thanks Matt - both for making the trip over, and the awesome behind-the-scenes tour! Plus, glad someone finally used that gimbal I bought years ago! 😂
It was a long trip but totally worth it to give that gimbal some much needed attention.
Ray is a rad dude. He goes very in depth on his reviews and will respond to his viewers.
I've been a big fan for a long long time. It's wild, the more I get to know him, the more I like him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I’ve been following Ray for years, he’s the most trustworthy reviewer online. What a great video! Thanks Matt
Wait, I'm not trustworthy? Fair. Ray really is the most trustworthy reviewer online. I'm a huge fan. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
lol I only discovered you through this video. Following with interest. I already like that you do follow up videos on products you test.
Damn, I didn't realize how much time and work all this must take. Where else is there time for family? Great respect Ray for your best work and you Matt for this idea👍

This was awesome Matt! Gerald Undone studio tour vibe. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
I think I missed an opportunity to do an extreme critique of the DCR Cave. Ray is hard on products. Seems only fair.
@@mlegrand next time I want to see a clipboard that doodle on and take “critique notes” 😂
@@ChaseTheSummit - 💯
@@ChaseTheSummit Man, I'd have to actually get around to replacing like half the lightbulbs to pass one of his studio tours.
@@Dcrainmaker just call it a “creative look” or “character” and it’s legit. 👍

Ray is a legend. Good guy for sure. The more I get to know him, the more I'm impressed. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Love these collaborative videos. I’m a fan of both your channels so great to see you working together. More like this please 😊
Not plans to do more yet but I hope our paths will cross again. I really enjoy these guys. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Two of my favorite content creators! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your interview with DCR. Thank you Matt!
Glad you enjoyed this one! It was super fun to make 👏
Really enjoyed that. Always thought that must be hard work to produce DC Rainmaker videos and you have convinced me that it is! Thanks both for doing that.
Glad you enjoyed it! He seems to work really hard! 😬 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
I had no idea how interested I was in how all of this comes together. This was awesome!
He works really hard on these videos. Super fun to get the opportunity to sit down and ask him how it all comes together. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Awesome video! Thanks Matt! And nice meeting you at the Cave! (Steve from Philly)
It was awesome meeting you Steve! Hope you had a good trip. 👌
this was amazing!
glad you 2 work together on some items like your quizes and questions
It’s always fun doing any project with Ray. He’s a really fun guy to get to know. 👌
Thanks Matt...a look behind the curtain. Ray is part of a select few "go to" reviewers who provide in depth content in an objective manner. How he keeps track of everything amazes me.

Fantastic interview. I’ve been following dcrainmaker since his days in DC
Me too. Really good guy. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. 👏 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Ray’s reviews are always better than any manual that comes with the product.
Yeah, he’s awesome! The more I’ve gotten to know him the more I like him. 👏
That was fun to watch. Thanks to both of you for putting this one together.
Glad you enjoyed it! Ray was awesome to do this for me. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Matt LeGrand in Amsterdam??!! crazy. Great interview and review. Love the hat on Matt - the orange model is awesome!
Yes! Thank you! I took my oldest kiddo to Europe and we had a fantastic time. Hope all is well with training!
Thanks for putting this together, a fascinating interview into the whole process from two of my go to tech reviewers!
This was a really fun one! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Another great video Matt. I love how your spreading with these. Thanks.
This one was really fun to make. Thanks Ian!
Both you guys are great. It is a crazy way to make a living, but I am delighted that you do.
Well, Ray does. My channel isn't making a ton of money . . . yet 😆
Nice job, Matt. Always enjoy seeing your content on here. Great to see something a little different too! I'm sure we will see some more down the road on other creators (hopefully someone will have one on you too).

Thanks an enjoyable video. My Garmin Epix Pro advised me I was taking a nap at the very time I watched it. Not sure how that occurred.
Glad this video helped you relax!!! 😂
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!
What were you doing in the Netherlands??
I'm amazed at the amount of stuff you guys have to buy...it shows so much commitment and love to the community. WE LOVE YOU.
I also love that you're wearing a Camas shirt!
This was quite the treat watching this morning.
I was just here to visit Ray and be a tourist with my oldest kiddo. We had a really good trip. Hope all is well in Colorado!
That was really insightful! Well done.
Thank you so much Sean. 👌
That's cool, i always thought the DC was Direct Current
Maybe that also? He is kind of a robot 🤖 Content making machine.
Great video with two legends
Thank you Mr Greer!
After you and DesFit now also Dave from Chase the Summit needs to visit Ray. 😁
Great video Matt! Thanks for this little insight!
He's always welcome!
Oh yeah, Dave is for sure coming to an open house one of these years. 👍
Thank you for this interview. I have been a sub to his newsletters and channel since my first Polar watch
Yeah, I'm a big fan of Ray. He's a solid dude. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
@@mlegrand no problem, you are making some great content and I appreciate your deep insights. I actually started a new channel, Nurse2tech that is currently being developed for my day job.
@@hardmtnbiker - Found the channel. 👌
A nice report indeed 😊
Maybe I took it a little too easy on Ray during this interview. I mean, no way he would have held back on some product he was reviewing right?
Ray is even more cool behind the scenes.
I know right? The more I get to know him, the more I like him. 😬
Great work matt
Thank you!
Thanks Matt for “in detail review Mr Dcrainmaker“ 😂
Someone had to do it. 😆 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Fantastic video, Matt!! 👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one! 👏
Really cool video. Thank-you

Right? Go Papermakers!
Matt should do same video . How he reviews products.

If you saw DC Rainmaker with only one watch on his wrist, probably he's not the real DC Rainmaker 😅
💯 - It's better to be a bit skeptical when trying to find the true DC Rainmaker. 😂 Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
If we're finding this video interesting or helpful, we should whack that like button which helps the channel quite a bit I guess...
Thank you!!! I never add those reminders to my videos. I figure people know how UA-cam works but also look at my subscriber numbers compared to Ray. 😬
would have been interesting to talk about Ray the person a bit more? His story etc
Good call Shady1080! I'll have to do another one at some point. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
Like you all... and Dave, Chase the Summit. 👍

Not really about who he is, but how he works. Still interesting.
I could probably change this title. 🤔 Thanks Dobiecx!

I feel like if it were a true DCR review, he would have been much more critical on himself. 🤔
