(Original "Airdate" June 29, 2014)
[As the credits fade, the camera pans across a crowded Halifax Scotiabank Centre before settling on the stage. The curtains part and a tuxedo clad individual steps through, headed for a nearby podium. Strapped to his chest in a modified camera bag is the alien fat of the hour. This is Adi the Adipose, and her human, Mike Montgomery. Mike stops at the podium, allowing Adi, resplendent in her favorite black gown and wireframe glasses, to climb out and take her spot on a small throne next to him. He leans down to the mic...]
Mike: Six weeks Adi ... you said you'd be doing this for six weeks. You said it'd be a laugh with us and, like, 5 or 6 other Hal-Con people ...
Adi: Man, you know I can't control the effectiveness of #weaponizedcute!
Mike: Since when?!
Adi: Okay, good point.
Mike: Thank you. [He turns to the camera] We're here at the Halifax Scotiabank Centre...
Adi: Metro Centre.
Mike: It's the Scotiabank Centre. They paid money for it and everything!
Adi: You really think people are gonna stop calling it the Metro Centre?
Mike: Okay no. Can I continue?
Adi: Yeah sure!
Mike: Thank you. As I said, we're here at the Halifax Scotiabank ...
Adi: Metro
Mike: ... Centre to pay tribute to the little ball of fat that could. Adi, even *I* didn't think we'd ever get to this point ... mostly because I thought you were trying to keep a low profile and avoid the government ... you've brought plenty of love, laughter, and shenanigans to everyone you've met in the past year and a half ...
Adi: And not ONCE did I do it sober! How is that not an accomplishment? I mean, I am nothing if not a puckish rogue living a life of mirth and whimsy!
Mike: Please don't sue us #SaintsRowIV ...
Adi: WE LOVE YOU SAINT'S ROW!!
Mike: But to get back to the prompter ... again ... you saw your opportunity ... you went to the audience ... you stole the show ... and now here you are celebrating your ten thousandth tweet!
Mike: Six weeks Adi ... you said you'd be doing this for six weeks. You said it'd be a laugh with us and, like, 5 or 6 other Hal-Con people ...

Mike: But to get back to the prompter ... again ... you saw your opportunity ... you went to the audience ... you stole the show ... and now here you are celebrating your ten thousandth tweet!
Mike: Before we get started though, I think we need to take a moment to give a special shoutout to @lisamariebowman and @sean_POBrien as the only other two people in the history of twitter to do a clip show.
Adi: And ours won't make any reference to the Fonz!
Mike: So remember, those of you at home, use the hashtag #twitterclipshow to make sure you don't miss a thing as we take a look back at some of the important moments in Adi's twitter career, relive milestones, and we'll share a very special surprise Adi received at the end of the show!
Adi: A lifetime supply of Jaegermeister and Red Bull?
Mike: No.
Adi: DAMMIT!
Mike: Let's take a moment to go back in time. Oddly enough to the day after my birthday last year, and look back at your very first tweet ...
Adi: Hard to believe I started this by making fun of Tom Cruise
Mike: Like everyone else in comedy?
Adi: What can I say oh human o' mine, I know where the golden material is!
[Mike rolls his eyes in mock exasperation before continuing...]
Mike: it's a Tom Cruise movie! Most people have five Top Gun jokes before they get out of bed! I don't terribly want to dwell ...
Adi: ...and you have no idea how to seguė into the next bit ...
Mike: ... and that ... but let's get into some of your favorite twitter moments, shall we?
Adi: Sure, why not? As much as you humans seem to have a thing for top ten lists, there's really no particular order for these moments I picked. And honestly, picking ten really just wasn't going to happen.
Mike: You're stalling, aren't you?
Adi: Little bit.
Mike: Well stop! Rental on this place ain't cheap!
Adi: [sigh] Fiiiine ... A social media personality's success always has and always will be determined by her or his followers. It's just how this all works, and made my first highlight an easy one to pick. ....

Adi: March 9, 2013 was the day I got my first twitter follower! Took me awhile to get going, but there's some saying about good things and waiting ...
Mike: Good things come to those who wait?
Adi: Sure, why not? So moving on, my next highlight was my first taste of comedy gold. See, you Canadian Humans got this show called #Degrassi that you're all proud of.
Mike: Good things come to those who wait?
Adi: Sure, why not? So moving on, my next highlight was my first taste of comedy gold. See, you Canadian Humans got this show called #Degrassi that you're all proud of.
Adi: Exactly. #Degrassi, or as I call it "Beverly Hills 90210 with an actual point," is one of those shows where it's like "I've never seen it but I know of it and know it's been around long enough that I gotta respect it."
Mike: And like everything that's an older property, the networks were never gonna let it die.
Adi: Except the @CBC who can't afford to keep the rights to ANYTHING. Anyhow, @CTV brought it back a few years ... back ... and it's been just as successful as the first run. I mean sure it gave a Drake a career, but nobody's perfect. But then ... Then there's that damn title. I always thought that title was a strange indicator of where that show might spin off to next, and what I wanna share with y'all now is the exchange between me, @missdra, and @threedaypass from September 2013 that helped me figure out my niche in twitter comedy...

Mike: and we'll get to the next highlight after this ...
Mike: We're back and let's get straight to the next moment, the tweet you gave to @realfatapollo!
Adi: Okay folks, like the opening title said, I gotta give a shout out to my man Fat Apollo. If you are in Halifax and into comedy, Fat Apollo's the dude you *need* to meet. Whether it was our brief political run with the#drunkndisorderly party or riffing on stuff he put up on Twitter, the guy helped launch my social media career!
Mike: And he was the first one to come over and say "Hey, I like what you're doing," wasn't he?
Adi: Nicest ... guy ... you will ever meet. EVER! If he knows you're trying to be funny, he will make time for you and I got no problem saying I wouldn't be where I am now without the man!
Coming up: A brief interlude with Sean "P. Diddy or whatever his name is" Coombs and a musical number!

[We fade in from break to find Mike and Adi at the podium once more, they turn back to the camera as a screen descends from the ceiling]
Mike: Now Adi, not only have you been a success with social media, but you're big on multi-media to aren't you?
Adi: Obvi! I mean, if the only thing I ever did with twitter was text, this whole thing would've died off like 8000 tweets ago. I swear I can literally find a youtube clip that fits any particular conversation, train of thought, what have you ...take this clip of Puff Daddy. I mean, seriously, if you can watch this and not just feel damn good afterward, you have no soul. You have no soul and you are utterly dead inside.

[As we return to our hosts for tonight's festivities, Adi suddenly jumps off her throne and starts running toward the edge of the podium at top speed.]
Adi: I CAN FLY!! I'M A UNICORN AND I CAN FLY!!
[With just two steps, Mike deftly slides around to the far side of the podium, catching Adi just as she tries to take to the air]
Mike: Trust me folks, I deal with this so much it's reflex
[He turns his attention back to Adi]
Mike: What did I tell you about Puffy?
Adi: That Sean Coombs is a crazy person and I shouldn't listen to crazy people who aren't you?
Mike: That's the one. Why don't we go to the musical number?
Adi: Sounds good to me!
[The lights go down in the arena. From high above, a lone spotlight shines down on the podium, highlighting the little Adipose.]
Adi: I wrote this song earlier this week, it's a song about that annoying Facebook thread that just won't go away. You know the one ... it's point has long been lost ... everybody just REALLY wants to have the last word, and it goes a little something like this ... (Oh, and we couldn't afford to get George Takei, so bare with us here)
Adi: This is the thread that will not diiiie! It flames on and on ...
Mike: Oh myyy!
Adi: Some people, started posting in it not knowing what it was, and they'll keep posting in it forever just because, this is the thread that will not diiiiiie...Me: This is the thread that will not diiiie! It flames on and on ...

Mike: We'll be right back with our next highlight from Adi's first ten thousand tweets!
Mike: Last year was the 50th Anniversary of one of my all time favorite TV shows, Doctor Who, and Adi you, of course, have a special connection to the long running series.
Adi: That's right. I have the distinction of being the one fans refer to every time they quote Catherine Tate's "I'm waving at fat" from the Series Four episode "Partners in Crime." I managed to get in a cameo at the end of David Tennant's run in "End of Time Part II" and ... okay, I say "get in a cameo" but really I mean "stumbled drunkenly onto the set ..."

Adi: God I love you people. You're like that holodeck crowd from when Joe Piscopo showed up on Star Trek, you'll laugh at anything! My last piece of work, though, was for the 50th anniversary special. While my on camera stuff got cut .. fuck you very much for that one Moffatt ... I did a lot of behind the camera stuff as well and also launched my own blog over twitter about my time on set. And the reason I wanted to highlight it tonight is because getting that blog out to the masses was what got me my current gig as a columnist for @geeksversusnerds here in Halifax. Lets take a look ...
Adi: Ahh ... good, good times.
Mike: Wasn't that the night you tried to out drink John Hurt and lost? Badly?
Adi: I'm not seeing the problem there.
Mike: [Mike holds his face in his hands for a moment, sighing in exasperation] Now for this moment ... I don't know if I blame the people from Hal-Con or the people from the Syfy channel...
Adi: Well the answer is neither! You commend the Syfy channel for putting out the single greatest film ever made! I am of course talking about #SharkNado!
Mike: You are going to be downright insufferable at the end of next month when #SharkNado2 airs, aren't you?
Adi: Hell ... yes. Let's take a look back at July of 2013...

Adi: Hell ... yes. Let's take a look back at July of 2013...
Adi: Also, there's nothing a girl like me enjoys more'n recognition and July was my first Follow Friday mention to!
Mike: Of course though, your movie love extends past films about implausible killer sharks ...
Adi: Implausible? YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
Mike: Do I need to shut the cameras off?
Adi: I'll be good.
Mike: Thank you. Now, what I was actually referring to was the night before my birthday *this* year. Did you want to tell the story?
Adi: Damn skippy I do! So, I'd already done my regular live tweeting, that week it was "China O'Brien," and figured hell, it was your birthday, let's do a special live tweet of your first Asylum film, "Nazis at the Center of the Earth." Let's check out a trailer so y'all know what I'm talking about...

Let's check out a trailer so y'all know what I'm talking about...
Adi: Anyway, about three quarters of the way in, @LawsonDigital starts answering all my tweets. Before I know it instead of tweeting the movie I'm really mostly chatting over twitter with this guy by the name of Joseph Lawson. Finally the movie finishes and returns to the Netflix screen ...
Mike: Which is about the point we both pretty much lost our minds.
Adi: Yup, see folks we happened to look at the screen and saw "Director: Joseph J. Lawson!" We celebrated his birthday and my twitterversary by having a two hour chat over twitter with the director of one of our favorite Asylum films!
Mike: Let's take a look back at February 2014!

Mike: Let's take a look back at February 2014!
Mike: It truly is amazing who you can meet on twitter isn't it?
Adi: You kidding? I once had Sarah Jane Smith and River Song as twitter followers ... I hung out with Smaug the dragon ... picked fights with Sontarans ... made friends with the entire cast of #InnerSpace ... and as insane as that sounds, every single thing I just said happened over my twitter career.
Mike: You really have a thing for @SpaceChannel's Entertainment news show, don't you?
Adi: You still can't segue can you?
Mike: Nope.
Adi: Me and #InnerSpace ... that's like the happiest accident ever. When you live tweet movies, you have to be able to type incredibly fast. If you can't keep up, all sorts of comedy can be lost to cyberspace. So I needed some short material that would give my twitter skills a good workout ... #InnerSpace fit the bill and you'd been meaning to watch it anyway ... total match made in heaven!
Mike: Then of course, @AjayFry launched the interaction between you and the hosts, and it was all downhill from there ...
Adi: Folks, I don't think they knew what was coming. Hell, I didn't really. But let's look back at September of 2013 and y'all can see how it began!

Mike: And while we're on the subject of #InnerSpace ... I'd be remiss if we didn't bring up your friendship with @morganhoffman.
Adi: People, Morgan's my twitter sister and the human definition of #weaponizedcute! If you haven't had the pleasure of knowing her yet, here's a little intro piece for you to get to know my twitter sister!
Adi: People, Morgan's my twitter sister and the human definition of #weaponizedcute! If you haven't had the pleasure of knowing her yet, here's a little intro piece for you to get to know my twitter sister!
Adi: Ironically, I think Morgan and I started with #InnerSpace about the same time. She was there when we first started watching wasn't she?
Mike: Sounds right. I watched in spurts toward the end of Cynthia Loyst's run on the show, and I think you started watching around Morgan's first episode.
Adi: I gotta admit, I was really leery of Morgan at first. She seemed super stiff, uncomfortable, looked like she didn't belong on #InnerSpace at all ...
Mike: Now?
Adi: Now? Hell now I can't imagine #InnerSpace with anyone BUT Teddy, Ajay, 'n Morgan. And then one day she's interviewing the cast of "Person of Interest," and mentionned that she liked crazy chicks. I was immediately like "Okay, we're #twitterfriends now! This is a thing! It's happening!" and Morgan was all like "Finally!"
Mike: But obviously that wasn't the end of it.
Adi: Nope. Morgan let me be the twitter host for her "Best of" on #InnerSpace and then ... it happened. I started noticing that more and more often I'd go to tweet something while I was watching the show, and Morgan would say exactly what I was thinking as I was typing it. I mean, I know the show's taped and all but it's still just trippy! Thusly, we are #twittersisters!
Mike: So what's this next highlight then?
Adi: This would'a been ... I believe November 1st of 2013. I was livetweeting this movie called "Bareknuckle," and folks, that things horrible. As I was going, Morgan sends out this tweet about how she was sitting at home eating halloween candy in the dark.
And I mean, me? I do this for the laughs. Long as I know I'm makin' people smile, it's all good. If my twitter fame'd ended after this exchange with @morganhoffman I'd been damn happy with it
Adi: Oh, and one more important thing you should know about my twitter sister ... she can kick your ass.
Mike: And then apologize and help you back up.
Adi: And that. Don't believe us? Here, check this out...
Mike: And then apologize and help you back up.
Adi: And that. Don't believe us? Here, check this out...
Mike: Folks, I think it's about time we bring things down for a second, make it a little more sombre on the show. Morgan's not the only one you've been there for, is she?
[Adi straightens up a bit, a note of pride in her voice.]
Adi: Nope. Ever since you introduced me to Spider-Man I've taken that whole "with great power there must always come great responsibility" thing to heart. My twitter followers are what make this FUN! Without them, we don't do this show, and I don't get to have the wonderful opportunities that I've had.
Mike: Why Adi, I think this is the first time I've ever heard you being humble!
Adi: Hey, it is what it is. I ain't the Rock, I ain't Nathan Fillion, I ain't got millions of twitter followers, but what I *do* got is 'bout a hundred 'n twelve good people who wanna listen to my shenanigans, and when they need help, I wanna be there for 'em. I figure, if I can't use my teeny little sliver of twitter fame to do some good, what the hell's the point in having it? I wanted to share these next moments because, to me, it was an honor and a privilege to be there for my people during them. And obviously some of these moments are personal enough that we pulled the names of followers!

Adi: Seriously, I love you people and always willing to help y'all do what you wanna do! And speaking of @CeruleanBlues_ I gotta show her love for the glorious fan art! LOOK AT IT!
Mike: Folks, if you think those examples of Kelly Jo Romard's art are great, just you *wait* until you see what she and Adi have in store!
Adi: Seriously, I am so excited! I want to see those finished products now!!
Mike: Easy Adi, talent can't be rushed!
Adi: But ... but ... I WANT IT!!
Mike: Just read the teleprompter...
Adi: Fine ...
Adi: Seriously, I am so excited! I want to see those finished products now!!
Mike: Easy Adi, talent can't be rushed!
Adi: But ... but ... I WANT IT!!
Mike: Just read the teleprompter...
Adi: Fine ...
Adi: Like many I've found family through my twitter work! Here's my cousin Posey in Austin Texas.
Mike: Now that we're starting to wind things down, what would you say has been the greatest thing to come out of your time on twitter?
Adi: Really? One thing?
Mike: Well it's your show so it doesn't have to be just one.
Adi: Good. See, like most twitter users, I get a bit of a thrill every time I pick up a new follower. The more people I get to see enjoying my foolishness the better! And like you guys, I get an extra thrill when it's a celebrity! Most people beg or celebrity followers. Here's some I got hat were a complete surprise!

Adi: I randomly tweet about how I miss David Caruso and desperately want to see him in an Asylum Film (which, seriously, totally still want) and look what happens!
Mike: You know he can live off CSI Miami royalties, right?
Adi: What do I care?! GET HIM BACK ON MY TV!
Mike: Not gonna happen. But Morgan's follow? She figures you two knew each other in a past life ... she followed you the night I had a severe throat infection hit. I ain't buying that timing as a coincidence.
Adi: Nor should you! But really, as great as new followers are, I feel like everything lead to June 4, 2014 and this...

Adi: I got that message from my #twittersister and I was like "Are they doing some sort of 'tweet of the week' thing? Did I post something that was funnier than I thought?"
Mike: And with their #throwbackthursday segments, you figured this shout out was going to be a part of#InnerSpace integrating itself more with twitter, didn't you?
Adi: Of course! I mean, Morgan only gave me two minutes warning so I didn't have much time to prepare, but there was really no way I was getting ready for this!
Mike: Let's take a look at Adi's pick for the greatest thing to come out of her past ten thousand tweets!

Adi: I'm still totally blown away that they did that!
Mike: Most people'd say they called you an addict on air.
Adi: But see, here's the thing. If yer gonna do a shout out on a show, or put in an Easter Egg, you gotta make it subtle. Don't get all "HEY LOOK AT THIS EASTER EGG WE PUT IN FOR YOU!! AREN'T WE AWESOME?!" and beat your audience over the head with it. Do it in such a way that the person it's meant for gets what it is, and everyone else sees it as just a part of the show.
Mike: I couldn't have put it any better. That was an example of a PERFECT shout out! In fact, Adi got another shoutout from her #twittersister yesterday when she crossed 10K

Mike: Well folks, that's it for tonight's Ten Thousandth Tweetebration. If you missed any of the show, keep your eyes on Adi's homepage, aditheadipose.weebly.com. We'll try and get the whole show up there as soon as possible!
Adi: We'll see you again when I make it into the 25K club!
Mike: Seriously?
Adi: What do I care? Right now I just wanna go get hammered!
Mike: G'night everybody!
