See Ethan, that wasn't so bad.
- Yeah, except I
knew it would happen.
- I know, but
nothing bad happened.
I knew it'd happen eventually.
- It was okay.
- One time I got
kicked out of the store
across the street from my house,
but I was wearing a devil mask.
True story.
- So do you guys want to
- Yeah, we can do that.
- No.
- No?
- I don't want to
take any big risks
'cause it's like our last,
potentially our last show.
I want it to end...
- That's the worst philosophy!
You need to take a big risk!
- You can't
record on property here.
- Oh, where does
the property end?
We could go on this bridge.
That might work.
Let's film in this little area
in between these cars.
- Guys, just remember,
there's a whole
bunch of sketches...
- That we've never done.
- That we've not only
have we never done,
but sketches, no.
- But they're not that good.
- So it's
all a bunch of sketches
that we have done,
but never to a
Massachusetts audience.
There's the YMCA poop sketch.
- Yes.
- There is the...
- The haunted house sketch.
- New Michael and
superhero palace.
Guys, this is a
really good idea.
We'll be able to do material
that we've worked on
but haven't performed yet,
and also, it'll be
really, really silly.
So we need to book a palace.
Think about-yeah?
- It's been time when we-
it's time we can finally
make the algebra joke.
- Which one was that?
- I don't know.
I haven't thought of it yet.
a joke about algebra.
- Jerk!
- Guys, this is
gonna be so good!
This is gonna be
like on the level
of like a train that
Elton John is riding
in the Civil War.
- You go to Boston
like every day?
- What?
- You go to Boston
like every day?
Is that why I see you
all the time on the T?
- Yeah, pretty much.
- You should come to what
might be our last ever show,
this August.
- Where?
- We don't know
precisely where yet.
Do you know of any-
there's a bunch of
venues we're exploring.
- Nice!
- We haven't decided one yet.
- That's awesome.
I'd love to go!
- I spend a lot of time
actively avoiding people
so I can get my work done.
30 days til classes
start at Oxford.
I don't know how I'm gonna do
with all the things
I have to do.
I just,
literally don't know
what my priorities are.
I mean, Asperger's Are
Us is really important,
but I'm worried that
I literally cannot
devote the time to it
that I need to.
- It's been an interesting
ride, so to speak.
You know, when Jack was, say,
pre-school age,
kindergarten age,
you know, he had gotten his
diagnosis with Asperger's,
and we weren't even
sure he could handle
a mainstream school
or curriculum.
He was easily frustrated
when he was very young,
and he would have tantrums.
They'd have to clear
the classroom, you know,
'cause Jack was
acting up, you know?
But, as he matured,
he's come out of that
for the most part.
Still he yells at me.
You know, we're like
this some times.
Maybe we're too
similar, I don't know.
But
obviously he's doing very well,
going to Oxford next month.
One thing that's
hard for me as a dad
is that I like to touch,
and Jack doesn't
like being touched.
- It's not so much
I don't like it as
it just makes no
impression on me.
- Makes no impression.
But that's how I
communicate affection.
And he doesn't, you
know, you gotta have
the receiver as well as a giver.
I give it, but he
doesn't receive it,
so it's frustrating as a parent.
- Yep.
It's like feeding a skeleton.
I mean, you put
something in the bones,
it just falls through.
- Exactly.
- So basically
you're a skeleton?
- Basically.
- You know you're loved, right?
- Is
- Yeah, I know I'm loved.
- Now arriving at Ipswich Hills.
- This is the last
time you'll see us
for a year, and maybe,
you know, forever.
God knows what'll
happen, you know?
Jack could get
killed in England.
It's unlikely,
but it's possible.
I always prepare for
things like that.
That's why I'll tell
him, "Bye forever."
And next summer,
we could be too busy to perform.
Other guys might
have full-time jobs,
God knows.
This could be our
final show ever,
so we're gonna work hard
to make it a good one.
How are you doin'?
You guys okay?
- Yes.
- So we were talking
about our show.
- We will have a lot more
to do than we're expecting.
- No, I'm expecting it.
- Well, okay.
- Like, I've been warning
you guys about it.
- We'll have more to do than
like you don't know
that the specifics are
that we'll have to do later.
What I mean is that
there will be surprises
that we'll have to do.
- All good shows have surprises,
and ours will not
be an exception.
- Exactly.
But I think we'll have it down,
we always have.
We've always been
able to do the show.
- You know, one thing...
- There've been a few
errors occasionally, but...
- You know, one thing I,
originally before
we decided to do the
superhero palace thing,
I was telling a few
people, you know,
this might be our,
maybe the last ever show.
Well now I'm gonna
hold off on that talk.
You know, especially
my older family members
who've seen the show before
but haven't gone in a while.
I'm not gonna
invite them to this.
- I think that's really
a terrible decision.
- I don't think
they'll like this.
Like I see my Uncle Joe.
- Yeah.
- Who loved us.
- Yeah.
- I see him not getting
the superhero thing at all.
- I think we can make it clear.
That sucks that you think that,
'cause I think this should
be our biggest show.
I think you should
promote it the most.
- It might be our biggest
show, but I'm not...
- I think we should
promote it the most
and bring in the most people,
because it is gonna be our
last show for a long time.
- I don't have a
problem with it.
I think it's a good idea,
I mean if it bombs, it bombs.
- It's gonna be a disaster.
It's going to be...
- Don't start thinking this way.
- I was born this way.
All right, so don't
you dare say that.
- Don't run near the pool!
You'll slip and fall in!
The joke about it
being Elton John
is it's obviously
not Elton John,
it's sort of a pretend,
pretend thing.
But it's just me shouting,
safety like tidbits,
like, "Stay close to an adult!"
Or, "Don't give your identity
to anyone on the Internet!"
Anyways, here's the album.
and check for ticks afterwards
when you're in the woods!
Stay close to an adult!
Stay close to an adult!
- At some point maybe,
I started shouting
safety advice,
and then I think it
might have been Noah,
recommended, "Well why don't
you take all these things
"and turn it into
the safety album?"
And it was a big success.
One of the things I'm
most proud of, I guess.
Like most 16 year olds,
I sort of felt awkward
