Ahoy, matey! When you think of a pirate, you\\u2019re probably thinking of a white man with a beard and an eyepatch, maybe a pegleg, maybe a parrot on his shoulder. But we\\u2019re here to tell you that pirates didn\\u2019t usually look like that. Joy and co-host Elsa learn about what pirates were really like from expert Laura Sook Duncombe (instead of an eyepatch, they usually had\\u2026 a written contract?) and hear the story of Cheng I Sao, a fierce female pirate who ruled the South China Sea in the early 19th century. And on First Things First, it\\u2019s an all captain edition. Who came first: Captain America, Captain Hook, or Cap\\u2019n Crunch?
