College Football Star Has Another Surprise For The Boy He Ate Lunch With

Remember our story about Bo Paske, an autistic 6th-grade student at Montford Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida?

Florida State University receiver Travis Rudolph and some of his teammates were at the school for a visit, and Rudolph took it upon himself to have lunch with Bo, who often sits alone at lunch.

Now comes Part II of the story. On Monday, Rudolph presented Bo with his own Seminoles game jersey—it even had his name on the back.

Rudolph also gave Bo and his mom, Leah, a pair of tickets to watch the Seminoles in action that night. (FSU came back from 22 down to beat the University of Mississippi 45-34, with Rudolph catching six passes for 74 yards and a touchdown—it was the biggest comeback in school history.)

Here’s Bo with FSU Head Coach Jimbo Fisher.

What a great couple of weeks it’s been for Bo.

 

Channing Tatum’s Interview With A Reporter With Autism Is Absolutely Adorable

Carly Fleischmann just scored an exclusive interview with Hollywood star Channing Tatum.  She’s got quite a talent as a reporter as well as a little crush on Channing (so watch out Jenna Dewan Tatum).

Fleischmann, a 21-year-old who was diagnosed with autism as a young age, just launched a new talk show called Speechless with Carly.

Fleischmann doesn’t talk in the interview and uses her tablet to communicate with her guests.  However, that doesn’t prevent her charm and silliness from coming through in the interview. Within the first few seconds she had Channing laughing out loud and showed she can flirt with the best of them.

“I would like to introduce you to my first guest ever. He has been a stripper, a police officer, a secret agent, a reporter, a boyfriend to many. And soon, he will dump his wife to be with me,” Fleischmann said to introduce Channing.

Fleischmann even asks Channing how many girls he used to take home at night when he was an actual stripper.

Fleischmann is a great role model for others out there and proves nothing can get in your way of doing your dream job. Thanks for putting a smile on our face today and we are anxiously waiting for your next episode.
