Fri, 01 Nov 2024
Pablo travels to Minneapolis to spend a weekend with the player responsible for the best celebrations in the NFL: Vikings safety Cam Bynum, a rising star — and proud Filipino-American — whose story is about love at first sight, the value of patience and connecting two countries on opposite sides of our planet.

Chapter 1: What makes Cam Bynum the most extra player in the NFL?
Welcome to Pablo Torre Finds Out. I am Pablo Torre. And today, you're going to find out what this sound is.
My wife, she's in the Philippines working on her visa. It's been getting denied. So if anybody out there can help with the visa process, I greatly appreciate it.
Right after this ad.
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
For people who are not watching us and just listening, you should know that something very important is happening.
You tell me what that is.
We have taken our shoes off, left them at the door, because this is about to be the most Filipino-American interview in sports history.
Because in my house growing up, I would get yelled at? Absolutely, because it's filthy. It's disgusting. I don't know why it's not a worldwide thing. It's a Filipino thing. You better take your shoes off before you come in the house and leave them at the door.
We're going to discuss many things of global importance. I don't know if there'll be a more important one than it's gross that you Americans don't take your shoes off when you get home.

Chapter 2: How did Cam Bynum's childhood influence his NFL journey?
Yes. Surprise being a surprise, and I'll do the right thing, whether it's on or off the field, and it'll pay off.
You know, when you go to the NFL and the Vikings take you in the fourth round, and they switch you, right? You were a cornerback, a cow. Yeah. You're a safety now. It sounds like, yeah, a safety is not just a technician, but also kind of a choreographer.
Yes, a choreographer, a leader. You're really orchestrating. I like saying... Conductor. Yeah, conductor of an orchestra. You have to tell everybody what to do, or else we're all going to be wrong.
So... If you're studying choreography in this sense, and you're also like there to sort of scan the field and make sure you're aware that your eyes are always moving, I'm curious how you scouted your wife.
Great question.
How does this bring us to that moment?
She's from the Philippines, but she got hired to perform with her dance team in Dubai. So it's a Filipino place, so they're all Filipinos, so it was also cool. It felt like home in there. And she's performing with a band, and she was one of the people on the dance team.
What do you remember about him showing up to watch you dance?
The first time or because there's so many times that he was there?

Chapter 3: What unique celebrations does Cam Bynum bring to the field?
They both eat pork, so we're good.
Cambino, happy Filipino American History Month. Same to you. It's been a pleasure, man. Appreciate you for everything.
