Went Home with a Puppy

The episode opens with a series of promotional segments for various podcasts, including David Eagleman's 'Inner Cosmos,' Sanjana Basker and Tyler McCall's 'Radio 831,' Cheryl Strayed's 'Mind Over Mountain,' and Dr. Maya Shunker's 'A Slight Change of Plans.' The main focus then shifts to Mojo in the Morning's recent attendance at Michigan Medicine's Women's Luncheon, a fundraiser for women's health. The highlight of the event was a charity auction featuring an Australian golden doodle puppy, which was auctioned for $30,000 after a surprising $5,000 opening bid by friend Brittany, who didn't realize she'd won until after the fact. The segment humorously explores the emotional chaos of hiding a major purchase—especially a pet—from a spouse, with callers sharing stories of concealed Jordans, hidden cats, and even five wild turkeys. The episode ends with playful speculation about who might adopt the puppy, including a joke about naming it 'Yay' or 'Mojo,' and a surreal call from a man who brought home a four-day-old Jersey calf. The tone is lighthearted, nostalgic, and full of absurdity, celebrating the unexpected joys and chaos of life.
