Graduation season is here, and after attending two graduation ceremonies in the past week, Mike Steph left with more than just memories... he left with some questions.

Have graduation ceremonies changed that much over the last 8 years? Are today's celebrations becoming too long, too over-the-top, or is this simply a case of nostalgia talking? Is Mike Steph being too critical, or are there legitimate concerns hiding beneath the surface?

On this special Sprinkle of Salt edition of the Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast, Mike shares his unfiltered thoughts after attending graduations ranging from Pre-K all the way through high school. From the speeches and performances to the overall experience, nothing is off limits.

As always, expect honest opinions, plenty of laughs, and enough salt to season a basket of Wingstop chicken.
