If It Bleeds, It Leads

I was working out the other day on the stationary bike when my phone rang.
Me (panting): Hello?
Journalist: Hey, it’s [journalist]. Can you discuss [topic]?
Me: I’m working out right now, so I’d better call you back…wouldn’t want to have a heart attack trying to talk while I’m exercising.
Journalist: True…but if you did, I could tweet it!
