REMEMBERING LUKE | Fouad Abiad & Ben Chow | Real Bodybuilding Podcast

[@jessiemoser4862]

Luke was such a great guy. That podcast where you could tell he felt bad that he was doing good while others weren't just showed how good of a person he was and how much he cared for people. RIP LUKE

[@rishav.maityy]

Started watching this due to him.. He was such a funny and genuine person.. Rip Luke..

[@parkercullen6726]

So excited to watch this RIP to Luke and prayers to his family to this day!

[@themachine1968]

Times infinity sir

[@peterreuben5791]

Thank you, Gentlemen. I really didn't expect a video today but as a fan, I wanted to say thank you! This podcast family that has grown so much and shared so much with all of us viewers is truly a gift. We'll always miss Luke, but I think he would be proud of you all for everything you've accomplished. R.I.P. Luke Thank you for everything.

[@mangilitking4572]

I never would have thought that someone you don't personally know can affect you like this😟 stay safe and healthy Mr. Foaud and the whole crew💛

[@ironheadhooligan]

Just in case you didn't know... Or knew but don't know the gravity of it.....ppl come here..I come here cuz to me.. You guys are genuine... The friends I need... The buddies if like to have.. The loyalty and dedication this world needs... It's not just bodybuilding or meathead shyt.. It's true it's honest and I can relate...🥃🥃 to Luke...🍺🍺 to you guys... Much love and respect💪🏼🐷💯

[@nrw7272]

Loved him and he felt like a friend even though I never met him. I know it's not even close but he had such an impact on me. Bought expo tickets before lockdown purely to meet him. God bless Luke, legend forever ❤️ Sending love to all you guys.

[@frederikstrecka231]

It's really like all the others say. U know a person is real great when you've never met him but it still felt like he was like your father😔 rest in peace luke the legend

[@mahbub87hussain]

I love the way you guys speak of Luke. Always Luke IS and HAS and not WAS or HAD. He lives on through you guys. RIP The Juggernaut

[@Clats_1]

Was a lovely touch not putting the normal Hosstile advert at the end of the podcast Fouad. There’s a time and place. Very respectful man. Thinking of you and Ben today during this hard time. Stay strong!

[@MR.PRESIDENTOFFICIAL]

everyone needs a friend like ben or fouad

[@eightytwobucks623]

Luke Sandoe will forever be a bodybuilding legend and a Hosstile legend

[@RichardRatner.1972]

Beautiful, this is a testament to why the podcast has been so successful moving forward, R.I.P Luke 🙏 Big love Ben & Fouad, kindest regards, Richard U.K

[@DG-EditsYT]

I have seen you around leaving funny comments on some other videos the last couple of years and bumped into you here

[@RichardRatner.1972]

[@anyone4t]

Alot of us miss Luke for somewhat selfish reasons, myself included. We are going through our own shit and bad times in our own lives and up comes the podcast, and listening to him and fouad talking utter shite would make us forget about our own problems and have a laugh and a good time for 90 minutes. There is a somewhat guilty feeling that comes along with that though. He actually helped alot of people out. I kinda compare the feeling to when Chester Bennington died. There is that feeling of guilt, when they unknowingly helped us, the fans, through either their comedy or their music, it helped us get through our own shit, but sadly we as fans were not able to return the favour and help them through their bad times. Great show Fouad and Ben. Deep talks and good laughs, keep it up brother. You are killing it.

[@dylanbrantley4869]

R.I.P Luke, took me 2 days after this was posted to watch this! Luke was who got me where I am today, really became such a person I strive to be! Luke was such a phenomenal person, inside and out really depicted such a great one of a kind person!

[@brbodybuilder]

Thank you guys, for everything. The past year has been hard for a lot of people and this show has been a bright light. Luke would be proud

[@gregelmokian5210]

Fouad I got into the bodybuilding in bollocks series a little late and didnt see alot of Luke but you have done a great job keeping his spirit alive and keeping the podcasts and the bro chats going. Its what he would want and hes smiling from above.

[@sukwonyoon5240]

Where it all started.. RIP Luke 🙏🏿

[@-._SHK_.-]

Man this is gonna be hard to watch without tearing up abit. RIP LUKE Missing you every day. Watching RBP always gave us viewers/listeners a closeness to you guys, where it felt like we were listening to a conversation with the boys which made losing Luke like losing someone close to us, despite never getting the chance to meet him.

[@MrLJT1]

When someone takes their life there is a lot of lasting collateral damage among their family and friends. And that damage lingers. Miss you Luke.

[@bensmith9670]

Luke was such a legend. Miss listening to him and I still watch the old videos. Got me through some bad times. Thanks Fouad and Ben and the crew. You will never know how much this means to me. Thanks you so much Ben (England)

[@isamm_1336]

Luke was incredible, hilarious, and always kept it real. I go back to watch the old podcasts all the time when I’m feeling down🙏🏾

[@unknownx2k7]

Luke was very loved

[@akysr20]

R.I.P Luke, gone but never forgotten 🙏🏽

[@berniediveley625]

Fact 💯💪

[@Dejwik]

I remember when I was inviting Luke to a podcast - when he got asked would he want to he answered with want? Id love to! As You guys said. He wanted to not only be a bodybuilder. He wanted to be an example of a really good person. Thank You for this podcast.

[@latman1]

Such a tragedy Luke didn't fulfill his potential. I remember the first time I saw him I thought this guy could be great when he finally nails it! RIP LUKE!😪

[@Monsterpumped]

Fouad really good podcast.. As always.. But the way Ben spoke about you towards the end how you were there just as a friend made me respect you even more.. I really liked you as a bodybuilder n a businessman but this makes me like you as a good human being. Which we all need in these tough times.. Of people passing... Rip luke.. N more power to Ben n you for doing this podcast 👍🏻

[@DL8ON]

My experience with Luke was exactly how you described, we had a full blown conversation and was asking questions about me. We have his Olympia hoody and picture framed on the gym wall, its a privilege to of spoke with him and train in the same room as him.. ill never forget it

[@nrw7272]

Really hard to watch, he was so relatable. You guys are so strong to do this, sending love to you guys who knew Luke best.

[@dic4]

#missed. Gone too soon brother. I’m still learning from you everyday.

[@kylebeachem4549]

Wasn't gonna go to the gym today and then saw that it has been one year since. Of course I went and had one of the best shoulder sessions to date. #lukethelegend

[@patryan6072]

3 years tomorrow my best mate took his life. I'm still angry as fuck over this but my hearts full of love aswell. We never forget our pals. Rip luke.you 💚🙏

[@littlefatsilverback2080]

Truly a great man who never had chance to fulfill his humongous potential. Thank you Fouad and Ben for doing this 💜

[@TankStrank]

I never had the pleasure of meeting Luke but good God he impacted my life in a huge way and he is missed. He was an incredible person. No disrespect to James but I think it was better for this particular podcast that he wasn't on it. It seems fitting to me that it was you two for this one. You both did a great job and it's easy to see for those who watch the show and not just listen, the whirlwind of emotions you go through during this episode. Great Job guys. Much love and respect to you both.

[@tc6730]

Probably gonna cry and laugh a lot watching this one. Rest easy, Luke 🙏🏼

[@EvsPersonal]

So many positive comments, had to contribute. Thanks for this video Fouad and Ben. Incredibly honoring and important for Luke. RIP Luke, forever missed

[@eamonmctaggart9258]

I never met Luke I never knew Luke personally, but i was a massive fan, I never understood beforehand how the death of someone you never knew personally could have an effect on you it's crazy the energy he put out made you radiate towards him absolute legend! From luke I found this podcast from that I found a few hours a week were I can switch off and enjoy some viewing, from this podcast I have learned a fuck tone of information on nutrition, training,peds, I found out not 1 was is the right way,from finding this podcast I've discovered a shit load of bodybuilders , coaches, general ppl around the sport I'd never have came across..so a year on luke is still doing massive things in the average persons life ...peace and love to fouad , Ben,James and all the guys keep doing what use are doing and RIP LUKE always remembered

[@davefraser1818]

@24:45 -> Definitely Luke being Luke. For what it’s worth I think he’s happy knowing you two are as close as your are now. Legends never die.

[@5dollarshake263]

Its a shame we'll never get a podcast with Fouad, Luke, Nick, and Guy, it would have been hilarious.

[@ezemohamed3256]

We all loved him and he will never be forgotten

[@kilburn65]

Thank you Ben and fouad for being honest with your emotions. Lost is hard to deal with. 😪 glad where both there for each other! Gives me hope that I deal with my recent lost.

[@thejuiciestofallthehams8130]

RIP Luke Sandoe. Such an awesome and kind guy, he was a great addition to the industry

[@oglanza4451]

5yrs ago i also lost my best friend, it really helps to joke/ talk about them with other good friends 👍

[@NINJAMRN]

Thank y’all for doing an episode to remember him 💚

[@geozeo710]

Thank you for that. For some reason this has made me think of The Size Game Podcast - Luke, James and Banji (Jamie later). Worth a listen folks.

[@HeinrichKok]

Luke the legend 🙏🏼🙏🏼lost but not forgotten, the true champ❤️

[@KamranBird]

Best bodybuilding community in the world ❤️Luke would be so proud

[@braheemharajli2213]

I love the respect from the both of you in this podcast, its very honorable the way you discussed him and I think I speak for many people when I say that even though not many of us got to know him, from hearing how you'd talk about him I am almost jealous you got to experience the real Juggernaut. Also love how you didn't end this with the usual "subscribe, share, and like the video" it shows the amount of respect you hold for Luke and shows you are being genuine and down to earth.

[@jasper8589]

Yes, agreed and I also noticed the ending! Very classy and respectful from Fouad. Also the way Ben has carried himself and handled such a loss, and his growth he’s clearly had as person is amazing and great to see.

[@bigmano4334]

Love the ending for the reach out phone call, sometimes being alone and thinking can be detrimental to one's self.

[@guts4336]

Thanks Fouad 🙏 Luke will always be part of this podcast

[@nate3877]

Rip Luke! Loved meeting you at olympia 2019

[@IntellectualMuscle]

I've watched Luke's podcasts like twice over already. He was the FUNNIEST out of the entire bunch. Like insanely sarcastic dark humor which is EXACTLY my kind of humour. My next favourite is Ben Chow least bro but still a meathead. 😘

[@RobNerlandfit]

Thankyou for doing this podcast today gentlemen. We as fans of both Luke and all of you guys as well appreciate it a ton.

[@marcoshaydar2749]

RIP LUKE MISS HIM A LOT IN THE CHANEL GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA

[@garretthooper3139]

Luke always has been, and always will be my favorite bodybuilder. Never forgotten.

[@ThePowerofJames]

I will never forget, I was travelling to the UK in Feb 2020 for a funeral, and I was potentially going to be in London for a day so I messaged Luke and said I might stop by Muscleworks. He asked why I was in the UK when I said my grandad passed, he messaged me back and said please stop by if it would help. I never got the chance sadly, and I cleared the message (i dont normally keep them anyway to avoid inadverate texts) that simply made me feel so special, it showed how much he appreciated his fans and had such a genuine soul. It was a simple 4 message conversation, that meant so much at the time.

[@chopst11x92]

It’s so true how Fouad and Ben mentioned like would somehow make the time for ANYONE. I once had a good 1hr back and forth with Luke only about music and drums. I cherish those messages, it was such a real interaction. RIP Juggernaut

[@Biggerberger]

Fouad is the celebrity of bodybuilding radio (podcast)

[@goochusgangzens856]

Love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@dimana_b]

I'm fairly new listener, meaning I found out about this podcast after Luke's passing. It took me awhile to listen the episodes with him as I knew it would be hard to watch them after the tragic event. After the first episode I saw, I binged watched all of them and loved each one. His sense of humour and overall dynamic with Fouad was truly amazing. Rest in peace 🙏

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

This podcast is making my life better every week. Luke will always remain in our hearts. I'm glad Ben is doing ok. I can't even imagine how he feels...man ..i can't imagine how my life would be without my best friend.

[@haydenmanuel6644]

Thank you Ben and Fouad for taking the time to share something like this for everyone

[@DG-EditsYT]

RIP. You cant escape your own thoughts. This is always been the biggest factor in mental health, you can hold them off or learn to adapt, but people cope differently to other.. not better or worse just differently.

[@jagikalsi23]

Love you guys. Love you Luke. RIP

[@chrismorrell4177]

Refreshing to watch Ben have an in depth conversation about Luke without getting emotional. I mean that literally. Good stuff Ben 👍🏼

[@biofreak96]

It’s crazy to think it’s been a year since he passed. Prayers to his family. Luke was my inspiration for bodybuilding, but I lost all motivation ever since he passed. Another reason I was able to remember was because of a save file on a game I played. Saved an hour before the news broke that he passed away. I hope his family is doing great and he’s resting well. RIP Luke Sandoe.

[@MariaScotland]

Thank you for sharing your grief and thoughts today. I met him many times (with Carly) while I was competing as an amateur and then a pro in the UK and I felt his loss. I cannot think who the idiots are who gave this a thumbs down ~ I appreciate a moment to remember him with you x

[@charismauniversity9626]

luke and i used to share a cup of coffee when we was broke and in 16 yo... miss him :(

[@leecorder7283]

RIP Luke . Thank you guys for sharing this in memory of Luke ,he had some great friends

[@michaelmarkku3348]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ R.i.p Luke Tanks Fouad for the fantastic jobb you do,you are reatching fans all ower the Word,fan from Norway 🇳🇴💪🙏

[@jeremyjmckeon3279]

Dude! the beginning had me in tears, for all the good reasons! R.I.P Luke forever and always! God bless bodybuilding and bollocks for all the men and women out there

[@themachine1968]

Def gonna have to go back and watch the original episodes. The one where Luke got a new background and fouad thought it was real until like smacked it lol

[@JustArtsCreations]

How this got 5 dislikes is beyond me. Respect for this deeply.

[@berniediveley625]

I figured it was an accident. Must’ve been 5 dudes with big fingers. 😆

[@daviddalziel3333]

I completely understand what Ben is saying but to give you my side of why people who haven't met him still miss him so much, Luke was my favourite current body builder and I watched everything he ever done, especially when lockdown started last year. Then my grandfather died of Covid on April 19th so less than a month before Luke and was in hospital before he died and the 1 thing I used to get through that time of fear when my grandfather was in hospital and then greif when he died I literally would binge watch bb&b and redcon1 vids and Lukes own vids and it might sound weird but it literally helped me through that period, then when the news of Lukes passing broke it was like devastation all over again, I would never have thought I could miss someone I never met, it literally sounds crazy to me even saying it but his personality and sense of humour got me through a very hard time and we both where the same age with 2 kids and same taste in music so it really hit home hard that somebody who was like me in a lot of ways but looked like he had the whole world in front of him and was a future MR O could feel like that, It hit me harder than I ever thought something like that could, it has took me to last month to be able to watch videos with Luke in it again and I am glad I can because the guy is a legend and I can't stop laughing when I am watching them. I can only imagine how Ben feels as for it to be your best friend must be absolutely devastating but I just wanted to give my perspective on how someone who didn't know him could miss him, I also think keeping doing the podcast was the right thing to do and I am glad you have continued to do it because it continues to be my go to watch to get me through the day, Luke would be so proud of how u have continued it and I also think he would be extremely proud of the improvement Ben and James are making in bodybuilding terms and as I have said a few times I think Fouad has the best podcasts on KZbin and long may they continue, sorry this is such a long post but hopefully it gives perspective from a fans point of view. Rip Luke "The Juggernaut" Sandoe 💪

[@cjsmulligan4127]

This ones tough to watch, like was said, we can’t miss on the same level, but it still hits hard, especially having loss recently myself. RIP luke

[@xGUANdeLUPEx]

RIP Luke. Thank you guys for sharing.

[@jessereed1736]

You two have my condolences, Luke was a good person.

[@jenhenry06]

Much love for you both and thank you for sharing. Luke was amazing. RIP.

[@markclans3284]

I only “know” Luke through these podcasts and redcon - you have done a great job preserving his memory positively over the last year. Mental health is all very confusing.

[@verntolman6532]

I have been so much more mindful of potentially mentally suffering people since it happened. There were subtle things that looking back are crystal clear. I recall when you guys were talking about the first thing you thought about upon waking, Luke suddenly got very serious and basically said I can’t say. You and James were egging him on saying “come on man you can say!”, he just wasn’t having it. There was a definite heaviness to his energy in that moment. Looking back I am almost sure that the first thing he thought upon waking is I wish I never woke up or that I wish I was dead. I know this sounds intense and I don’t mean for it to be, I just wish to relay that my consciousness has forever been altered to look out for such things to somehow hopefully make a difference for them before it’s too late.

[@jamienudds3278]

Thank you for talking about Luke. I can't believe it's been a year already. He's still alive in so many different ways. 🙏🙏💙 Think of you guys

[@bobsingh6985]

I noticed, it socks lol I like the old way. And Luke was there and good spirit messing with Ben earbuds lol.

[@w2sixpackchef]

Thanks guys for sharing this moment, story and day with everyone. Always missed and remembered. Never forgotten. RIP Luke💪

[@nickshinn7012]

Great video as always! I'm sorry and I feel for you guys. I completely understand what you guys are going through and it's one of the toughest things to overcome. My best friend took his life about 2 years ago and not 1 single days goes by where I don't think about him. And those dreams Ben was talking about are incredibly difficult and almost unfair. Those dreams feel extremely real, you wake up and for the first few seconds you think everything is ok, and then you start remembering. Its puts you right back in that dark place. Its gut wrenching and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

[@daveclarke8913]

Great tribute to Luke guys... Fouad and Ben are a class act. . 🙏❤🇬🇧

RIP Luke, thank you for sharing your thoughts, he was an incredible man who had the ability to make you feel like you knew him through the podcast, it is one of the great things about your podcast is you feel you know everyone, that's why there was a genuine feeling off loss when this happened #lukethelegend

[@SaqibM]

‘I’ll actually cut it out this time I swear’ and saying the goodbyes and continuing for another few minutes. Classic BB&B hallmarks!

This podcast is a testament to how much of an amazing person Luke is. We miss the big man, never have I seen such devastation over someone most of us have never met

Great tribute to Luke, a Hilarious guy we all fell in love with, we all miss him but though you guys we still get a piece of Luke.

[@DiMiTri-ys7ei]

You guys are the best man, sorry for your loss I feel sad about his passing just from watching him on here so I could only imagine how you guys feel🙏❤🖤

[@jamienaquin3918]

That's why I love this podcast so much, the honesty in putting yourself out. I can relate to many things, like being very critical of myself. I never had a single interaction with Luke, but it hit me hard. I'm sure he's happy seeing this podcast continue. Rest assured, he was behind the technical issues. Rest well, Luke. #LukeTheLegend #TheJuggernaut

[@gymhead2104]

RIP Luke...Gone But Never forgotten

[@punkandlifting]

I feel your pain guys. Especially Ben. My best friend passed away suddenly after a bike accident 12 years ago. I totally have experienced the dreams that Ben talked about. I’ve had many dreams about him that were so real that we were hanging out and he’s still here. It’s sad and frustrating when you wake up and realize that’s absolutely not the case.

[@TJ-sq8bb]

This was a tough one, thanks for this guys. I'll be honest, when it happened I couldn't even watch the podcast anymore for about it would choke me up, these podcasts are so raw and off the cuff like you've said many times its like hanging out with mates and it really felt like losing a friend, only started watching again about December, and I missed it all so much. Much love to you all, fans included.
