The Speech Guys listen to and discuss the North Carolina State University's Coach Jimmy V's speech he gave at the 1993 ESPY Awards, just two months before he died. This is the first episode in the "Speeches Before They Died" series.

Questions and topics explored in this episode ask why "laughing, thinking, and crying" each day is so important, when the last time each of the Speech Guys cried was, how crying is perceived in the West for men and how that might contrast with a more traditional Judeo-Christian perspective, and how modern day people might prefer keeping the material realities of death at a distance and more!

Ross asked me to point you to an episode of "Art of Manliness" that was referenced. Feel free to listen, but be sure to come right back when you're done.
