Steve Wolosoff

Dear Todd, Promo, Promoter, Chauncy, Svegan, Steve-a-than, Hector. You asked for a list of memories to share with kids one day to show why TB is a legend. Waking up with you showing me like 100 c-notes from a good night in casino. Walking by a blackjack table putting down hundreds, losing, and keep walking like nothing just happened. Crown Royal on way to Atlantic City and John-a-saurus – that dude will never be the same. Telling uber driver to hurry because we had a vomiting baby. Arguing with Mike M about the shape of a football. Getting 86’d at hotel lobby bar and arguing your case. Mike Tyson in New Orleans, Carrot Top in Vegas, Rob Base in your backyard. Vegan food delivered from like Kansas City or somewhere. When Carolyn disappeared in Mexico and you found her. Swimming in ocean and going to bar where you and Deb met, then missing our flights to cold weather. Look on Brad’s face when you were showing us IRL Trump photos on your phone. Look on Deb’s face when I told her you ate an entire hot dog uncooked in one bite. Vegas with Arnie and Gene and your best friends - bathtub filled with beer and ice. The whiskey phase and your hunt for more expensive bottles not less. Coming to Queens apartment for Passover smelling like you just got off the set of Friday. Beyond Meat turned out to be a bad stock tip from a hippie – just because something is good and new doesn’t mean the company makes money - oh Dolphins-Jets in Miami when you bought or sold tickets in the lot like a pro, got us a 5-minute limo ride for something important I forget what. The great hunt for good food – your 4000 calorie per day NYC checklist, sushi in Vegas, Mexican in Montreal when you ate crickets, non-vegan donuts from Corinth, sandwiches kids still talk about, BBQ at river house. Phish in Miami – I snuck to lower level and then somehow you found me. Being the guys on stage calling out numbers fast to raise money for good causes. Sarah’s crazy epic bat mitzvah was legendary – none will ever top that. You said Sarah planned most of it, so the legacy of going big is passed on. Getting me from sidewalk to airport, through security with no ID, and into first class. What happens in New Orleans should stay there too. Wine tour in Sonoma when you bull shitted the Woodbridge guy about Mondavi then you got us upgraded and told Mondavi guy how it tastes same as Woodbridge. Here’s the thing – I am funny and make my girls laugh a lot everyday. Sometimes I ask them if what I just said was “funnier than Uncle Todd?”. They never agree cause your jokes are legendary. You, busting my chops, is like manna to them. You know a guy, but really the guy knows you, cause of the legendary stories they lived with you or heard while having tons of fun with you. I aspire to be that for my much smaller network and will always use you as inspiration. Its about having fun, joking with the people in front of you, not talking S about those that aren’t with you, putting your guard down, and making people feel special. That is how I see you TB. Love, Steve PS. You did marry up brother. Dear Todd, Promo, Promoter, Chauncy, Svegan, Steve-a-than, Hector.
