Ryan Adams and Air Bud Had a Delightful Twitter Conversation

Rob Slater on April 16, 2015

Twitter is a wonderful land of hope and opportunity, much like America. Millions upon millions of people are available to message simply by typing an ‘@’ with their user name. You can tell Flea you hated the last Red Hot Chili Peppers album, rip Kobe for taking too many shots, soothe college football kickers for missing a game winning kick and of course–politicians. It truly is the land where the impossible suddenly becomes the possible.

Recently on Twitter, one of the best follows out there, Ryan Adams, and Air Bud, the basketball-playing dog, have been conversing. Throughout the course of the conversation, various characters contribute, but here is the full conversation in its most coherent order. Let’s go through this together:

First, there was an idea.

They should make a third Ghostbusters with just all cats and @AIRBUD pic.twitter.com/cy5EerAoj4

And then, a wild Air Bud appeared.

.@TheRyanAdams would I play the @billMurray roll?

— Air Bud (@AIRBUD) April 15, 2015

Adams had a normal reaction to such an occurrence.

OMG @AIRBUD is talking to me. Is this real?

— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) April 15, 2015

A valid point, Air Bud.

.@TheRyanAdams I’m a talking dog who plays basketball, you didn’t think I could tweet too?! Let’s be friends!

— Air Bud (@AIRBUD) April 15, 2015

Also a fair observation.

@AIRBUD omg what weed is this. I think I got indica by accident. Hello?

Newport Folk, one of the best festival Twitter accounts out there, comes in with a clutch pun.

@TheRyanAdams @AIRBUD it’s totally “Fureal”

— Newport Folk Fest (@Newportfolkfest) April 15, 2015

Point, Air Bud.

.@Newportfolkfest oh, you’re so punny

Adams’ latest tourmate, Natalie Prass couldn’t help but chime in, referencing the oft forgotten 2009 Disney film Space Buddies. FWIW, the cast would be a wonderful addition to the new Air Bud.

Never forget, Space Buddies.

— Ryan Adams (@TheRyanAdams) April 15, 2015

Wait. This is a much, much better idea.

@TheRyanAdams @NataliePrass @AIRBUD imagine a remake of “Alien” but with space buddies as the cast. and air bud as sigourney weaver.
