Summary

Brody Stevens was a comedian, actor and podcaster. Brody was one of the nicest people I met in Los Angeles and was always someone I was happy to see. Brody was important to and loved by many comedians and comedy fans around the world. Two people who loved Brody, Tommy Godlove and Mauricio Alvarado worked with the city of Los Angeles to honor Brody's memory. There is the Brody Stevens memorial bench in Reseda, CA and as of 8/18/21 August 18th is officially Brody Stevens Day in Los Angeles. I give my thoughts on Brody and his day.

The clip from the beginning of the video is from episode #488 of The Church of What's Happening Now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V08PnGbKbU4
