Here's the Scoop...
Have you heard this story about Channing Tatum?
Channing Tatum was the first guest on the new web series Speechless with Carly Fleischmann, hosted by an autistic, nonverbal woman.
During the 7-minute webisode, Fleischmann, 21, used a computer program that allowed her to ask questions -- and at times flirt with -- the Hollywood actor.
"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 joked in her introduction. "How about that, would you date a 21-year-old person with autism?"
"Yes, if I got permission from my wife," Tatum replied.
The actor discussed his rebellious childhood, his marriage to Jenna Dewan and ultimately his fear of dolls during the conversation. In the end, Fleischmann and Tatum agreed they would enjoy getting drunk with President Barack Obama.
Fleischmann, the author of Carly's Voice, aspires to be the world's first autistic, nonverbal talk show host.
Well, having Channing Tatum as your first guest is a great start. I really hope that Carly's web series becomes a huge success.
Be Well,
Steve
