You know what?
I didn't see a single Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.
Yeah, that's my new deal is Jean-Claude all the way.

He had a podcast, of course.
Oh, I haven't heard of that.
All right, so this is a rare rebut to a listener mail.
So a listener writing in about another listener mail because we had our Irish friend write in and point out that we were sort of engaging in Irish erasure.
So, hey guys, while the emailer was correct that Shackleton was born in County Kildare, Shackleton himself would have considered himself British.
He was born in Ireland while it was under British rule and moved to Great Britain when he was 10.
He served in the British Army and was awarded many British honors.
I myself am a proud Irishman, but I don't think you were wrong in calling him British.
I'm happy to accept that he was correct if there was a quote which shows that he considered himself Irish.
Ireland and nationality is always a tricky subject.
I hold a UK driver's license and an Irish passport.
