Stavros from Chicago metal band The Atlas Moth joins me for hedonistic, belly-stretching, food-challenge-worthy indulgence at one of Car Con Carne’s favorite places on earth: EPIC DELI.
In this fine episode (brought to you by Boost Mobile), Stavros and I talk about:

- The weird time in history when Atlas Moth got off the ground
- Stavros’s “love/hate” relationship with social media
- The Atlas Moth’s music release strategy
- The Atlas Moth’s place in the music world: “We’ve always gone against the grain.”
- Stavros’s wrestling fan history (he went to Wrestlemania II and VI!)
- Hulk Hogan’s real issue isn’t racism, it’s …
- Why Epic Deli’s food is a good old donkey punch.
- The classic book “How to Draw the Marvel Way”
- Round Two of food could “very well be the death of us.”
- Stavros’s “amuse-bouche” approach to dining at Epic.
- “Try the JVO; I’m delicious!”
- “This is going down way too easy…”
- “It’s like a breakfast that hates you back.”
- Stavros’s comic book collection
- “Cheesecake is a way more intense cake.”
- “I would wear leggings right now.”
- Stavros’s concern about his browser history, should he not survive the meal.
- Fruity Pebbles milkshake? “Get the f*** out of here…”

- The people who I hope picked up a methamphetamine habit.
- Beware of what gets sucked off near the end of the episode!

- The “Rocky Balboa” sandwich (Epic Deli’s spin on a Philly Cheesesteak)
