In this uplifting episode of Arroyo Grande, Raymond sits down with six-year-old Cash “Bubba” Harris, a beloved honorary mascot for the Dallas Mavericks who lives with spina bifida, and his dad, Chase—a dedicated physical therapist and relentless advocate. Together, they’ve turned life’s challenges into a story of courage, joy, and fierce father-son love that’s inspiring people around the world.

Raymond also delivers his take on the most bizarre commencement ceremonies happening across the country—from Notre Dame’s surprising speaker swap to the University of Maryland’s unexpected choice to hand the mic to none other than… Kermit the Frog. (Yes, really.) He dives into the weird world of AI commencement speakers, sock puppets with life advice, and the deeper question: have we lost the plot when it comes to celebrating our grads?

Whether you're a basketball fan, a proud parent, or someone looking for laughter and inspiration, this episode brings heart, humor, and a healthy dose of perspective.
