    November Events in Edinburgh, a Heart-warming Lottery Story & the Mums' take on the AI "Wife" being pitched to mothers

    Autumn vibes are everywhere, and Tammy, Kim and Heather are back chatting all about events around Edinburgh in November!  With the Edinburgh Christmas Market opening on Saturday the 14th and the Diwali parade and fireworks on Sunday the 15th the upcoming weekend is jammed with incredible family activities in the city.  The Mums discuss some of the other fantastic family events around town including the Christmas at the Botanics and a massive family ceilidh on November 29th at the Ross Bandstand. Tammy & Heather can't wait to catch Mean Girls at the Edinburgh Playhouse next week... stand by for some high school nostalgia, and some savage banter between Cady and the Plastics! Moving on the Mums chat about the heart-warming story of a Glasgow man's 1M prize on ITV Win Win with Postcode Lottery and test their knowledge of the British public's responses using questions from the show. In this podcast the Mums take on a really challenging topic... Marissa Mayer (former Yahoo CEO) is offering women an AI "wife" via her new company.  In a recent NY Times article she revealed that she'd used AI to describe her daughter for a school assignment, and suggested that busy mums would benefit from AI to take away the overwhelming mental load such as picking Halloween costumes and children's birthday party planning.  What do the Mums think of this AI on offer?  Listen to this episode to get the Mums' thoughts on this AI being pitched specifically to busy mothers!
