We kick off the series with an expression that is often heard; but what do we know about who wrote it and from which literary work it is plucked?

Armand and Jimmy discuss possible translations of the phrase, what the writer was trying to convey with it as well as how we interpret the meaning of Carpe Diem in our lives today.

There’s also a quick potted history of how Armand and Jimmy both got drawn in by the Classics.
