Hello, everyone, welcome to the Esau-Makali podcast.

I'm your host, Esau-Makali.

Today we're joined again by Sharon Hattie Miller, co-pastor of Bright City Church.

Thank you so much for coming on the podcast, Sharon.

Hey guys, I'm excited to be back. And we're joined

as usual by our co-host. No, sorry. Whoa. It was said. Sharon, this is historic.

Esau has prevented himself from calling me co-host for, I don't know, 30 episodes now. And it's

said it. We're not going to edit it out.

We're not redoing this intro. So it's done. We're joined here. I'm ordering business cards right now as you just got promoted. We're joined here by our producer, Mike. Here's the crazy thing. This is the thing I was going to tell you about. So I was in D.C. last week, mine and my own business. I was actually at a speaking event.

It had nothing to do with Holy Post at all.

I was in D.C. last week, mine on my own business. I was actually at a speaking event. It had nothing to do with Holy Post at all. I was speaking in my role as a PhD scholar. Give me a story to lecture. Yeah. Or a conversation, right? Yeah. And the first person that comes up to me after the talk, where I'm expounding the Bible, You know what they asked me? What'd they ask you?

Where's producer, Mike? Somewhere not here. I mean, like, I can do events by myself now.

I don't know. Can you? I know. It's like I was, I was legitimately. Do you think there's a chance?

They were thinking, oh, that's pretty good, but could have been better. They didn't say

great talk. He just needed a good producer. They didn't say great talk. It's like, this feels underproduced.

So do you get stopped now asking where I, like, because now I go places and they ask about me.

Are people asking you where I am as you go through your life? I will tell you, Esau, I met up with some friends this weekend, and a good friend of mine, we were catching up. He goes, The Holy Post has such a stack team, and he was going through everyone. He's like, I love Sky. I love Phil. I love Caitlin. And Esau, I love Esau. Everything he writes, I just love. And so, I mean. But he didn't ask you where I was. Well, no, because our friendship doesn't include you. Okay. But apparently people make this. Because he was clearly still enjoying his time with me and didn't feel like, oh, he just needs an entertaining host to spice this up a little bit. Speaking about having a person who's with you all the time, our first story today deals with this new, it's a new robot companion. I don't know about the company. You know the name of the company is we want to talk about? You said before our hand, make sure you have that ready to go and I did not have it ready to go. But by stalling,

I can now tell you that it's X1. So this new company X1 is putting out a robot companion who will

live with you and do activities in your home. And I think it says costing something like 20 to 25,000

$20,000 for delivery set next year in 2026.

Yeah, now they did, they did do a bit of a kind of a show and tell where they had like

the robot there.
