In a this is SportsCenter'-style content skit, BODYARMOR had Rempe come in a typical office visit which spiraled into a viral video that quickly amassed over 500,000 views on Instagram within the first 24 hours of going live. Flashing back to the present and the video has been nominated for a Shorty Awards nomination.
