Now that's a sentence I never thought I'd say. How a 'Deadpool' actor agreed to fly to Portland, Maine, and accept my beer pong game challenge on-air? Life hits quick. Yesterday, T.J. Miller really did do that. Which hey, big shout-out to the dude for not thinking he was too big-time to stop into a studio before his comedy show later that night at Portland House of Music.

I tagged him on social media to challenge him to a pong game, and to my surprise, this is what he sent back:

However, you'd think that would be the big plot of this story, but that's actually where the real one begins. The adventure didn't end when the pong game did, and boy can the man drink. Buckle up.

"This is the coolest radio interview I've ever done, thanks for being fun", T.J. said after he absolutely smoked me in both games of pong. I might have lost the pong game, but I still won his respec,t so that was cool to hear. Then he said, "Alright, let's go get another drink and a lobster roll. I'm in Maine, we have to go eat lob rolls immediately". My friends, let me set the scene here very quickly. It is 10 a.m., but who was I to say no?

So we compromised, and went and got a drink and lobster roll at Luke's Lobster. By the way, I just found out it's a chain and isn't Portland exclusive (what a plot twist!). How did I not know that?

Anyways, there I am with T.J., his manager, and our lobster rolls before 12 p.m., where we continued the adventure of visiting every dive bar on the wharf; Porttown Public House, 3 Dollar Dewey's, Commercial St Pub, & so many more. He started telling me all the reasons he adores Maine, which I wanted to share with you. Here's what he said about our state;

"Maine is so chill. It's a very vibey state"
"Maine reminds me of Colorado, and Colorado is my favorite state."
"I beat you so hard in pong, dude".

LOL, I'm never drinking again. Thanks for a great time, T.J.. I'm gonna go do a skincare routine and enjoy my sobriety.
