Young Hollywood

We're here for Clayton Kershaw. I I know he's uh dear to your heart. Give me some fine words about him.

Brad Paisley

He is my role model when it comes to charity. I've never seen anybody do more towards charity with with their celebrity. He and his wife Ellen, my wife and I look to them as an example of how you do it. Like they really do just give back so much and so I'm here to, you know, support and and eventually try to emulate him.

Young Hollywood

You have been here like A lot. A lot. So tell me what's your strategy? Hold the paddle for me. How do you hold it? Uh, who's on your team? Tell me everything.

Brad Paisley

Uh, I'm playing with Will Smith tonight. So I'm gonna hopefully do better than last year. I played with Kevin Neilan last year. Kevin and I are old friends. We've played together a lot, but as as like doubles partners, we were horrible. We didn't get past the first round and my goal is to get at least past the first round.

Young Hollywood

Your best MLB moment. From your life.
