We kick it off offering opinions on such wide varying fare as the 7 Up film series, hard boiled eggs and remote working before knuckling down to the matter in hand: Mitch Hedberg's seminal 1999 special An Escalator Can Never Break . It is currently available in either the 22 minute edited version or the one we recommend at 37 unexpurgated minutes on Daily Motion: An Escalator Can Never Break. You should watch it before listening to the review. 

Theme music: El Cha Cha Man by Juanitos. Juanitos, led by Juan Naveira, is the single French rock'n'roll and soul band mixing latin soul, exotica, acid jazz, punk, vocal pop and sometimes reggae roots in the Jackie Mittoo style. They are very good.
