Ep. 222: NAM VO Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by NAM VO.
NAM VO (@Nam.Vo.Official) came into his rookie season of The Challenge on Double Agents looking like a million bucks. The man is an adonis. Let's be honest. He got partnered with an Olympian and they looked like a match made in heaven. Turned out to not be the case. Sadly, a week after his partner Lolo Jones elected to leave the game, Nam followed by way of a lingering back injury. Nam joins Derrick (@DerrickMTV) and Scott (@SHOTOFYAGER) to discuss growing up in Germany, his family history, what his parents think of his fitness and TV career, why him and Lolo had such chemistry issues, what his back injury was exactly, when it happened, and what it was like having a front row seat to everything that went down between CT and Big T last week.
