Big Rocky Allen and his hungry on air cohorts took a few minutes to chat with me LIVE about my gluttonous five borough eating tours a little while back. In case you missed it, click below to have a listen to what transpired.
Rocky Allen Showgram Interview
And in case you missed my Travis Bickle reference at the end of the interview, I was quoting Travis saying, “Each night when I return the cab to the garage, I have to clean the come off the back seat. Some nights I clean off the blood.” Except I was gonna say “tartar sauce” and “tobasco,” and if you listen closely I actually say tartar sauce as I’m shouted down like a lesbian at a Halliburton meeting (really they just asked me politely not to say it, asked me nicely again, and then told me firmly “Dave, we said no.”)
(Here’s my boy Travis Bickle with some tobasco on his hand and a little on his cheek there)
(And here’s my boy Travis Pickle talking about pickles)

Good interview! I listen to that show all the time, and for the most part, they might make inferences, but they do try to keep it pretty clean, so I can see why they would object. They are very big movie fans, and one of the “games” they play is having people ready movie lines, and they have to guess the movie, and they usually do well, so they knew the Travis Bickle line without you saying it. Probably if you just said your changed version quickly without the precursor of the reference you were paraphrasing, you could’ve gotten in on there. Oh well, you live and learn! Nice job!
