- Of course you did.

- Just because like

I missed it so much!

I lived here all my life!

I never had an autumn

without New England.

- It's been a year and a half

since we were together last

and a lot's changed.

I guess the biggest

change for me

has been Rachel.

This internship with

the Harlem Globetrotters

keeps me pretty busy.

I'm old, but I think

I can do it, you know?

Like I got the height,

I got the flexibility.

I don't have the coordination,

but that's why

it's an internship!

- This interest in trains

and transportation,

you know, started

as a perseveration,

but it's really become

more of a career path for me.

And I think that puts me

at a pretty good advantage.

- What I like about

New Michael is that

that's not what

it's supposed to be.

It's breaking the rules.

It's a serious name,

it's a very cool name,

but on the same time,

it's also a joke.

Originally when I

got to UMass Lowell

and I started taking

some of my classes,

I didn't correct my professors

and tell them to

call me New Michael,

initially 'cause

I was too nervous,

being at UMass Lowell

for the first time,

but that's gonna change now.

It started to change at

the end of the semester,

and I'm not gonna be

afraid to do it any more.

New Michael the driver!

- I prefer the lotus position,

I find it's much

better for my Qi!

Namaste.

- I thought Gordon was

always well attended!

Sweaty Tooth was right!

No one's here!

- Yes, yes!

- He fell there.

Can you write that in?

- Yes, I respect

your religious practices.

- The most important thing

is to take it very

seriously, you know?

It's a very serious business.

You can't have any

frivolity involved at all.

- You know, as an entertainer,

you're an entrepreneur.

You are a businessman,

and you're selling

entertainment.

Just like in real estate,

in comedy, location

is everything.

- Explain.

- I was just joking.

- Steven Shore,

autistic professor said,

"If you met one

person with autism,

"you've met one

person with autism."

I hope that makes sense.

We're not all the same.

I was born knowing nothin'

Everyone 'round me

was teachin' stuff

Some of which was important

Most of which didn't matter

Then one day I felt my mom

Become a stranger

and that was fun

And I got out of her damn home

To make my life my own

Oscar

I met so many lovely ladies

Then one day I found one

I said I would like to marry

When that ended I settled down

I've got the best

deal in the town

A friend who

really likes me now

And maybe will forever

I'll still walk

to Korn concerts

They might be great,

I might get hurt

And come home with

lots of blisters

And sore muscle smiles

This will continue for a while

Til I see I'm

not still a child

And we'll say, "Hey

that was the best"

Until the end arrives

One day there will be a grave

With my name on it and a date

And underneath

that it will say

Help, I'm still alive
