Hi Joe, Excellent question. Try this.
Object new. Highlight it and do debug it. Click "Into" to go into the #new method. Notice the implementation of #new. You should be able to see there that #initialize is called automatically. Also for extra points notice what class new is implemented on. What method should you call to skip initialize?
