Bowling with Matt Leinart

Welcome to younghollywood. com.

Hey, and Hollywood, I'm Michelle Humbel.

We are here at Lucky Strike, where celebs and athletes are coming out to support the Matt Liner Foundation in Bowl for a good cause.

I'm here with Matt, the man of the hour.

So you've been so successful with this foundation.

What do you think the key is to to run a successful foundation?

I mean, having good people and having having goals.

It makes it easier because we all want to do it.

It's it's comes from within side and it's not about we just try to raise all this money.

I said it's all about raising money for a cause and that's what we're trying to do.

You have the biggest part and what's the most joyful thing when you get to partake an event?

It makes kids days, it makes their life.

It's like dreams come true and it makes me so happy and it feels so good that I can make an impact in kids' lives, you know, whether it's through football league or whether it's best buddies and bowling or taking kids to an Angel game who've never been like it's just little things like that.

You see the genuine happiness that comes from that that they would never get those opportunities before.

So that's what makes it so happy and that's what makes us want to keep doing it.

So you've been able to enjoy your summer?

Yeah, it's been nice.

I'm getting ready to go back in a couple weeks to start football, which I can't wait to get out there and and wait for the opportunity to play.

So I'm excited.

It all starts though in the off season, it starts in training camp to build up and and prepare.

What's the hardest thing about training camp?

Oh, just the days are so long, you know, 7:00 in the morning to 10:00 at night every day.

So it's it's it's not bad, you know, it's it's work.

It's what what needs to be done, but the hours are just it's like a routine.

It's the same thing every day.

So.

So is it hard to get out of bed in the morning knowing that you have that you're going to get your your butt kick?

It's fun because it's football.

It's what I love.

So you it's not it's not that bad.

What do you like to do to enjoy your summer when you're out in the off season?

Yeah, enjoy it.

Uh, more working out, more football.

Working out?

Like, what do you do?

What is your favorite training?

Oh, man, we run sand dunes.

We we run hills.

We're lifting, working, working out with all the wide receivers and all the other quarterbacks out at API.

We do a lot of stuff, different stuff, try to change it up.

You're out supporting a cardinal tonight. Second guest: Yes, I am definitely supporting a cardinal. Second guest: He's doing a great cause for the kids. Second guest: anything uh for the kids is what I'm all about. Second guest: I like to do charities for kids.

Are you ready to go in there and win some money for charity? Second guest: Yeah, a little bit. Second guest: Let me see what I can do, man. Second guest: I hope I can win a little bit because right now I haven't bowled in probably a year, so I'm pretty bad. Second guest: We're playing, we're bowling, it'd be a lot different.

What's the highest bowling score you've ever had? Second guest: Uh, 208. Second guest: That's the highest. Second guest: That that was about two years ago. Second guest: So lately I've been bowling about 130, 120. Second guest: So, it's been pretty bad. Second guest: It's been pretty bad.

So, do you think you're going to step it up tonight? Second guest: I hope so. Second guest: So, we'll see what happens.

The winner gets $10,000 to put towards their charity. Second guest: Well, that'd be great. Second guest: So hopefully I can win and be able to donate some more.

Do you know Matt personally? Second guest: Oh yeah, I played with him. Second guest: He's my SC teammate, you know, so we did great things together in 2004, you know, we won a share of the national title, so you know, Matt is uh, you know, a great quarterback and he's doing great things for the community.

What's up, Young Hollywood?

It's Matt Liner.

We're going to go inside and bowl and try to raise some money for the great cause.

Thank you, guys.
