‘Although some might say the tone of your blog lacked manners yesterday.’
Yes! You tell her, Steve Sitwell.
‘Arguably, it was not my most professional moment. That said, I stand by my comments. Mr Adams has been very rude to me. He has also made derogatory statements about my methods.’
‘Oh, interesting. I just received a tweet from a listener who wonders whether this is a love-hate relationship?’
What?
‘Ha! Between Brooks and me? No way in hell. Sorry, am I allowed to say hell on air?’
‘Sounds like you just did. So, you wouldn’t want to see Brooks again?’
‘I. Ah. No. I wouldn’t. Where are you going with this, Steve?’
Something I’d like to know.
‘It has been pointed out to me that in your last comment on your blog on Saturday night, you invited Brooks to try out your fitness regime. Now, I have a number of listeners saying they would love to see that.’
No. Screw them. Let her get on a plane and fly out of my life.
‘I did write that but I did so knowing that Brooks is too chicken to take me up on the challenge.’
Chicken?
I reach over to the passenger side for my iPhone and search for the station’s number. Before I put thought behind my actions, I’m calling Steve Sitwell.
Someone from the studio answers.
‘This is Brooks Adams,’ I tell him. ‘Steve Sitwell is currently talking about—’
‘Hold on, I’m going to put you through.’
‘Through where?’
‘Brooks Adams. The man himself. You’re live on air, buddy.’
Fuuuuuuuuck!
‘Do me a favor and turn your radio down in the background.’ For some reason, I turn down the radio in my car, just as Steve Sitwell instructs.
‘Do you have something you would like to say to Izzy Coulthard, Brooks?’
I really have no idea. ‘Ah, I, ah…’
She laughs in the background. Hearing her is like a red rag to a bull.
‘Yeah, I do. If you want to trade fitness plans, Izzy, let’s do it. Come into my gym for two weeks and I’ll show you a thing or two.’
‘I don’t need your advice, Brooks.’
‘Ah, that’s right. Now who’s chicken?’
‘I’m no chicken. I’ll come to your gym and I’ll do your stupid routines and eat your protein. And you can follow my plan. You can eat greens and see how good it feels to detox. And… you can salsa!’
‘Hold up! There’ll be no—’
‘We follow each other’s plans to the letter or we don’t do it at all. Are you afraid you’ll harm your precious reputation with a few hip sways, Brooksie?’
