Ghost pepper or whatever. It's spicy, spicy. So what's amazing about this question is that like many of the spicy takes, there's a little bit of evidence that make you wonder what's going on.

Um, but I think, you know, the list of female disciples, especially in the gospel of Luke chapter eight, you know, but other places as well, we, I have no, no problem, uh,
