0:00.0	I wanted to immerse myself in this document that everyone talks about, but fewer than half of
0:08.8	Americans, according to polls, have actually read in the Constitution in Article I. It talks
0:15.1	about your right as a citizen to become a pirate. No one. Not even the founders were happy with the electoral system when they started it.
0:23.4	But we are stuck with it.
0:24.8	I walked into a coffee store at the same time as another guy, and he saw my musket,
0:30.0	and he said, you go first.
0:31.3	I'm not going to mess with you.
0:32.5	Welcome to the Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the

1:29.9	The Puzzler, I knew I had to have him back, and it was an honor to have him back today for his
1:34.8	newest book, The Year of Living Constitutionally. I learned so much about our Constitution
1:40.3	and the history of America. It's kind of shocking the misconceptions that are out there
1:45.1	when it comes to our country. We talk about the different ways to interpret the Constitution,
1:50.0	the true meaning of democracy, the shocking actual meaning of, quote, freedom of the press,
1:55.9	no pun intended, becoming a legal pirate, little known things about prohibition and women's rights, and of course,
2:02.5	fun things like election cakes and the musical Hamilton. I can't wait to hear what you guys think.
