Rich both offering a contract to Juji and then recommending he not take it is interesting. Sounds like others in the company had been pressuring him before you guys met to sign you immediately and milk a future cash cow. Pretty admirable he saw more in you than that and told you to do your own thing. What a icon.
I miss Rich so bad :(. My dad died suddenly when bigger by the day first started. His videos gave me comfort through entertainment, but also deeper. He began to feel like a ridiculous father figure giving me advice and motivation every day. He helped me through a hard time.
Damn dude... That must have been really fucked up for you when Rich died too. 😔 I was a big fan of the Bigger by the Day series. Had a lot of that "reality show" freakiness, but there was something about Rich that made you want him to succeed, even though it was clear that some of what he was doing wasn't the healthiest thing... Made it tough to see how it turned out.
@Jon Bishoff Goddamn bro, you opened with such hostility. Anyway, I hope your dad gets better. I had covid around thanksgiving and it was rough on me, but I pulled through.
I remember Rich’s comment section being filled with so many funny variations on his name like “Rich Piano” and stuff like that as well as the “right babe?” And “goooood damn it!” Jokes. Miss you Rich, stay hard.
I loved rich pianos videos. He was so real no faking he kept it 100 very humble dude and inspiring I was soo sad when he passed away I was thinking long and hard about how were here one minute gone the next I watched him for years then one day he was in a medically induced coma rest in peace r i.c h piana we all love you amen.
This is actually the video that made me discover this channel. To this day, I still laugh at how hard Rich was trying to push his idea of stretching the muscle fascia on a clearly confused Juji. I think the nickname "The Anabolic Acrobat" might have aroused him quite a bit. Did he ask you if you wanted to do tren with him in the bathroom? Be honest
I think the fact that Rich told Juji that he should take his time because he's "worth more" really shows how much Rich genuinely cared for those around him, it's genuinely admirable to know that he didn't just use people for his company unlike a lot of companies today. He knew Juji had so much potential and just look at where he is now, along with ol Tom too. Even despite his fame, he was still so humble and down to earth. All rise for the Natty Anthem. Rest in peace, Rich.
Damn i miss Rich so much. I remember it was like late 2014 or early 2015 i would got home from work and have an pre-workout snack and watch new Rich Piana video and after that the gym. Those were happy times. Rest in peace big man
Happy birthday juji. I just celebrated my new son being born yesterday, mother's birthday and my dogs birthday today, then went to visit and gift a friend who's birthday it was today. Now I see that it was yours too. Birthday overload for me.
Juji! Happy birthday! May your health be in the best condition ever! Keep making wishes, because they come true! And thank you for everything! Best wishes from Latvia
I remember watching this on richs channel. This is actually the video that made me look you up and I've been a fan of you ever since. Happy birthday man.
I Miss watching Rich so much used to be part of my daily thing when winding down for the night Loved watching him do his nightly go out for Ben and Jerry's and food routine was so great Miss him a lot
Happy birthday JUJI!!!! Your content has improved my life and has challenged my views on training, never used to think big dudes could be flexible and athletic
Happy Birthday Jon! Rich Piana was great and was one of the first youtubers that got me into lifting. I miss his morning videos, y'all know what I'm talking about!
I was all over it dude, cracked me up along with the 5% 10-year-old milk jug, it was awesome haha!! These guys are cool as hell, chemistry is superb! I could care less about lifting these days and wished I hadn't been so dumb in my younger years, and I am paying for it today, but like any young knucklehead, I wouldn't listen to anyone. Oh well, be careful with your bodies folks, especially on the chemical side of things! This video's subject should tell you all you need to know about that, and he did in real life as well, but the mind is a powerful thing to satisfy! Tom, I feel for you with the Chron's, it is a miserable existence as you're well familiar! Though they haven't formally diagnosed me with Chron's, I swear what I have been suffering with is nearly identical! I started having horrific trouble after radiation treatment to my abdomen and for the last 14 years, just complete hell, blood, throwing up, nausea, well hell you know the deal, praying for you buddy!
I met Rich at the Body Power Expo in Birmingham, 2015 and he was a nice dude. Glad I got a pic with him 😊. The same day my friend got a pic with his idol, Greg Plitt. R.I.P. to them both.
@@jujimufu For sure, I'm with you, drives my ol' Lady nuts too!! She wanted nothing more than to just rip the protective film off the pickguard of a new guitar she got me lol!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUJI! Both you and tom have kept me motivated on my weight loss journey and really made it easy for me to digest new information about working out and doing it the healthy way. Y'all are really changing lives out here, much love
wait wait juji is 35!!?!?!??!?! genuinely thought he was like 28 or 30 with how good he looks. dont know why even though you say youve trained for so many years
I loved Rich Piana I did never see him personaly but he helped me fight depression propably worst time in my life but he was closer to me than my real friends . Hes mentally his persona was great I would love to meet him but now I will never . He died but lives in yt videos and my heart little bit of tears writing this but its ok for my hero
man i miss rich, im not even in to bodybuilding but loved his video, just his energy and how goes about his day still is relaxing and interesting to watch
Genetics, lifestyle and PEDs. Some guys use peds and it never really shows age-wise and then on other people it shows really quickly. But I agree, Juji doesn't look like he's 34 years old right now haha
You do also have to remember how lean he is right now. He’s much more lean than he ever has been and even a bit of a sunken in face makes you look older. Plus since his hair looks Nappier it makes him look a bit older as well.
Dude Tom is blue balling us so hard with the transformation documentary😩 also Happy birthday Juji!!🎉 we share a birthday! I really hope we all get to experience more of this type of video. Incredible idea and work Tom you’ve been absolutely killing it
If you read this comment while scrolling by, you have been visited by the 5% PIANO MAN C'MOOOOOON Give Juji a happy birthday for increased gains today or lose them all.
I’ve never mentioned it, but that censor sound you use for the videos is the best censor sound I’ve heard. You’re doing great work on these videos Tom. You constantly find ways to make them more and more enjoyable.
Happy birthday big guy! Best wishes on this day to you. Rich is definitely missed and surely not forgotten. HI TOM!! You're looking great man! Y'all keep up the work and love for what y'all do.
If you haven't watched a Rich Piana Bigger by the Day video, you haven't lived.
Happy Birthday Juji
That's right.... Babe?!
Happy B-day hope it's a good one

I didn’t know how much Rich meant to me till he was gone
@Jon Bishoff Goddamn bro, you opened with such hostility. Anyway, I hope your dad gets better. I had covid around thanksgiving and it was rough on me, but I pulled through.
Rich had to walk sideways through heavens gates
Lol
Lmfao
Rich stands like a sims character when he's watching juji trick
Rich looks like an NPC minding his own business in an RPG.
It reminds me of npcs in Assassins Creed while they watch you climbing. Or minecraft villagers
ya and they react only when you make contact 🤣
@@303TAG303 accurate af
Marcus from gears of war
He wasn't your dad, was he really? U look nothing like him.
No joke Juji looks so young with the lighting in that interview- almost like a bearded Philion
And of course you still are young! Happy birthday John!
He was in his 20s there
He was but a boy... He is now a man
Has aged quite drastically, must be the juice
@@chimp610 Prob
Nice try Philion
I never got to meet Rich but man I really miss that guy..
Awesome to see new footage of him/hear new stories.
Appreciate this one. 🙏💪
Rich really was a good dude. He was greatly known to be genuine and Pretty laidback. RIP rich we all miss you
I remember Rich’s comment section being filled with so many funny variations on his name like “Rich Piano” and stuff like that as well as the “right babe?” And “goooood damn it!” Jokes. Miss you Rich, stay hard.
the collective humor surrounding him was amazing. I don't think we'll see anything like that again.
I remember all of the absurd "whatever it takes" jokes.
@@Blaqsailens Gotta make jokes to confuse the body, right babe?
@@IrateWizrd 'right babe' jokes will never die
All the natty jokes were hilarious.
RIP Rich, Bigger by the day was the best thing on youtube
That video was actually where i saw Juji for the first time. Subbed right after.
For me Rich Piana was the guy who looked like Marcus in Gears of War
Lol thats spot on
Tom's 5% "homemade" T shirt is the greatest. lol, Love it man!
Arm wrestling practice today. In honor of Juji's birthday and I will be practicing in a horse mask. Happy Birthday you majestic madman!
“Gotta trick the algorithm, right babe?”
rich piana looks like like Thanos's humanoid version.
Nick's strength and power has a video about a possible connection
Rich is thanos
maybe they got some inspiration from Rich when they build Thanos
thanos already is a humanoid

Never realized just how long Rich's arms were, like ideal swimmer length arms.

Rich piana looks like a drawing of a bodybuilder.

Happy birthday Juji!! 🎉🎉🎉 please more videos of old footage. Great video to watch at work
Happy Birthday Jon! Rich Piana was great and was one of the first youtubers that got me into lifting. I miss his morning videos, y'all know what I'm talking about!
Is there anyone else who noticed 5% on Tom's tshirt and bottle or is it just me

Rich Piana is the one who got me watching body building on UA-cam. R.I.P Big Rich.
I met Rich at the Body Power Expo in Birmingham, 2015 and he was a nice dude. Glad I got a pic with him 😊. The same day my friend got a pic with his idol, Greg Plitt. R.I.P. to them both.
I found this "behind the scenes" stuff interesting. Thanks for sharing guys.
Mr Piana looks like a child who lost his mom at the mall while watching Juji
This comment literally made me “LOL” out loud in real life 😜
@@reaper21721 so, it made you 'laugh out loud' out loud?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! Hope you had an enjoyable birthday, you obviously deserved it.
Natty Prince😂♥️ Rest In Peace Rich. It was nice of you guys to talk about him and keep his memory alive in this video. Also happy birthday Juji🎂
I love Juji is tricking while Rich is just standing awkwardly to the side like a geek at prom
What was he supposed to do lol
@@ThrallFrostwolf7 He could have at least applauded.
Thanos looks like a natty version of Rich.
Juji: Happy Birthday!!!!! Glad to share birthdays with such an amazing human being.
Juji, I've watched you since the beginning glad to see your journey is going well and happy birthday, go pro in bodybuilding
wearing a gucci belt with shorts just seems like a Rich thing😂
It's even my moms birthday how good
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUJI
LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳😍
Happy birthday, Juji... very cool video. Rich had insane arms... I miss him on UA-cam. R.I.P.
I can’t see 5% or hear rich piana without thinking about pianos, or hearing juji talk about a groin pump.
Love Tom's "5%" Shirt

So i'm watching Juji reacting to Rich's reaction watching juji doing flips, i'm confused.
This the most internet comment. You win
So am I.
wait wait juji is 35!!?!?!??!?! genuinely thought he was like 28 or 30 with how good he looks. dont know why even though you say youve trained for so many years
Happy bithday juji, i love the person that you are and what you stand for

How to tell if the employee behind the counter at GNC is legit: Play Natty Anthem and see if they shed a tear.

Oh I love seeing the old videos of juji!! Happy bday buddy!! I love you guys!!
I would like to be some behind the scene stuff we don't see from this channel and see Tom's editing process.
5 years ago Juji looked like 10 years younger.
15

Looking forward to seeing the older videos..... love seeing the real people, back in the day..
Juji is 35? wow he definitely doesn't look a day over 36! and thats a fact.
He looks hes pushing late 40s

Happy birthday Juji! Today is my wife’s birthday too!
