On this episode of The Right Time with Bomani Jones, Bomani is joined by Logan Murdock to revisit Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors and why KD left the Oklahoma City Thunder for Golden State in 2016. Ten years later, they break down why Kevin Durant chose the Warriors, how the Warriors built the perfect pitch, and why the move became one of the biggest turning points in modern NBA history. Bomani Jones and Logan Murdock discuss the 2016 NBA offseason, the salary cap spike that made Kevin Durant to the Warriors possible, the Bay Area tech boom, the Warriors culture, and why Golden State felt like the right fit for KD at that moment. They also get into how Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and the Warriors' homegrown core made the team so appealing, plus why the partnership eventually became more complicated behind the scenes. If you're interested in Kevin Durant highlights, Kevin Durant Warriors history, OKC Thunder history, Golden State Warriors history, NBA free agency, NBA superteams, and basketball analysis from Bomani Jones, this episode breaks it all down.

As our nation nears its 250th anniversary, we reflect on what was going on in the Bay Area at the time. In 1776 California was newly part of the Spanish colony that would later become Mexico. The summer of 1776 was also pivotal in San Francisco's history: construction started on the Presidio and Mission Dolores was founded five days before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Most of the local population consisted of indigenous people and some Mexican settlers. The people, ecosystems and coastline were dramatically different. We look back on the Bay Area in 1776. Guests: Steven Hackel, professor of history, UC Riverside; author, "Junipero Serra: California's Founding Father" Laura Feinstein, resilient landscapes program director, San Francisco Estuary Institute Vincent Medina, East Bay Ohlone cultural leader; co-founder, Cafe Ohlone in Berkeley; founder, mak-warép Ohlone Land Conservancy Michael Wilcox, senior lecturer, Native American Studies and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, Stanford University Gabriel Duncan, founder, Alameda Native History Project Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 1: Yesterday's press conference with Buster Posey was a mixed bag, to say the least. The Giants' president of baseball operations was put in a tough spot, trying to address the Pride controversy and the recent issues with Rafael Devers and Tony Vitello. But did he handle it well? The guys on the show aren't so sure. They dive into the details of the press conference, discussing the ways in which Buster Posey's statements only seemed to fuel the fire, rather than put out the flames. The conversation touches on the importance of communication and how the Giants' organization could have handled the situation differently. The hosts also discuss the recent moves made by the team, including the signings of Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers, and whether they were good or bad decisions. They also talk about the team's attendance and how it's been affected by the lack of a second team in the Bay Area. One of the main points of discussion is whether Buster Posey is the right person for the job, given his lack of experience in baseball operations. The guys on the show aren't convinced that he's making the right moves, and they question whether he's being proactive or just reactive. They also discuss the importance of leadership and how it's lacking in the Giants' organization. If you want to hear more about the details of the press conference and the guys' thoughts on Buster Posey's performance, tune in to this episode. They'll break down the key points and give you their honest opinions on what's going on with the Giants.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eroll Kerr's professional ski career is actually two ski careers.  A race part, where he was so close to making the World Cup and the US Alpine Ski Team and the other was his ski cross career, which was kick-started when he became a fully funded member of the US Ski Cross Team in his first race. Eroll has competed all over the world, raced for Jamaica in the 2010 Olympics, and was a regular at the X-Games. But, while his life seemed perfect, it hasn't always been, and we talk about the highs of winning, the lows of mental health issues, and everything in between.  Connery Lundin and I ask the Inappropriate Questions Eroll Kerr Show Notes: 4:00: The cover of Ski Magazine, Jamacia roots, Bay Area, growing up rich, BMX and Moto, moving to Truckee, losing his dad, racing and talent in Tahoe 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.

Universe Walker: Beauty Desk AI and the AI Receptionist Built for the Beauty IndustryShe took a coding class at Princeton, built a prototype, and created the first AI receptionist designed specifically for salons by someone who actually runs one.Corey sits down with Universe Walker (@universewalkerismyname), Bay Area hairstylist, owner of Knuckleheads and Harlots in Oakland and Scarlet Salon in Berkeley, and founder of Beauty Desk AI. The conversation covers how she built Eve, what Eve actually does, and what the future of AI in the beauty industry looks like.Why She Built ItAfter COVID, Universe was running two salons bicoastal without front desk. New clients were calling and she was missing them. She knew she was leaving money on the table every day. When AI voice technology started to emerge she saw exactly what the industry needed. She took a coding class at Princeton, built a crude chatbot prototype, and knew she was onto something. It took years to build it properly but Beauty Desk AI is now out of beta with real customers and real results.What Eve DoesEve is an AI receptionist that answers incoming voice calls and texts from clients. Clients call your salon number like they always would. Eve answers, handles the full conversation, checks availability, describes services and pricing by stylist, books the appointment, sends a confirmation text, and manages the cancellation policy. Everything lives in one dashboard where you can see every interaction, turn Eve off and take over yourself, and track revenue in real time. Eve also works alongside existing front desk, stepping in after hours, on snow days, or when reception is busy with someone in the salon.Eve vs. Eve PlusEve handles all incoming voice and text communication without integrating into a booking platform. Eve Plus connects directly with Square for real-time availability and booking. More booking platform integrations are in progress. Head to beautydeskai.com to find out which option fits your business.The Live DemoCorey called Eve live on the podcast. Eve picked up on the first ring, walked him through service options for Scarlet Salon, described Ryan and Sierra's specialties, confirmed a Friday four PM appointment with Sierra, and texted a booking link before the call ended. It is in the episode. Worth listening to.Built for EveryoneEve works for solo suite owners, small salons, large salons, barbershops, and spas. Multi-location operators are on the roadmap. Universe built the architecture to use fewer AI tokens than most competitors, which keeps costs down and reduces environmental impact.Find Beauty Desk AI at beautydeskai.com

The last time Fireclay Tile CEO Eric Edelson was on the podcast, he shared the story of how he took over the company and, in a Jerry McGuire moment, turned its business model upside down. Six years later, and Fireclay has grown considerably, and Edelson has been on an acquisition spree, recently picking up Fox Marble, a sizeable Bay Area area fabrication and installation firm.   On this episode of the podcast, Edelson tells host Dennis Scully about why running a company in California is both an opportunity and a challenge, why he still believes in the B Corp model, and why the biggest change to his approach has been learning how to plan for success.  This episode is sponsored by Ernesta and KohlerLINKSFireclay TileDennis ScullyBusiness of Home

Send us Fan MailOB/GYN Dr. Cheruba Prabakar ditched employed medicine, went cash-pay, and built a boutique surgical practice in the Bay Area from scratch. Dr. Una breaks down how she overcame fear, bootstrapped without a loan, and hit her first revenue milestone in year one.Dr. Cheruba Prabakar spent 7–8 years in employed medicine before she admitted something felt off. Her dream of owning a practice had been buried under the assumption that private practice simply didn't exist on the West Coast. She joined the EntreMD Business School not with a plan, but with a question: is there another way? A year later, she opened her doors.She bootstrapped entirely, no loan, no outside funding. She answered her own phones, hand-wrote appointments, and stood at a dark outdoor event in a ski jacket handing out cards to strangers. A patient showed up from that event two and a half years later. The work was always working. She just couldn't see it yet.By the end of year one, she had already hit a revenue number she once thought was ridiculous to even write down. The milestone didn't make her comfortable. It made her hungry. She introduced membership programs, raised her surgical prices, and hired a second physician so her practice could run while she's on vacation. Now she's writing a book on fibroids, due out July 2026, because she wants every woman to know they don't have to wait eight months to see a surgeon.

Communities across the Bay Area, including Gilroy, Oakley and Pittsburg, are pushing back on new data centers in their cities. Data centers, which house the computing equipment and servers that power the internet, have been around for decades, but opposition to them has exploded as tech companies pour hundreds of billions of dollars into building thousands of new centers nationwide. Residents worry the facilities will suck up scarce water and electricity and pollute the environment to power the riches of AI investors. We'll talk about the data center boom and how it's playing out in the Bay Area. Guests: Molly Taft, senior climate reporter, WIRED Jonathan Koomey, researcher and scientist, Koomey Analytics; author, "Cold Cash, Cool Climate: Science-Based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs" Hema Sivanandam, East Contra Costa reporter, Bay Area News Group Britt Smith, Gilroy resident; activist and co-founder, Stop Gilroy Data Center Learn more about your ad choices.

Sports has always told us bigger is better — until guys like this show up and rewrite the rule. Jalen Brunson just led the Knicks to the NBA Finals as one of the smallest players on the floor. Lionel Messi has been doing it his entire career against giants twice his size. Steph Curry changed an entire sport despite being told he was too small to matter. And now Upton Stout is heading into year two with the 49ers looking to prove the same thing on a defense built around speed, instincts, and heart over height.

In the 1960s and 70s the San Francisco Bay Area was home to many intentional communities and co-ops. A lot of people were interested in living situations that went counter to how they'd grown up, often in separated, single family homes. As time passed, many of those communities have broken up or morphed. But Lafayette Morehouse, in Contra Costa County, is still going strong. Bay Curious listener Sabrina McQueen remembers seeing members of the community around Lafayette when she was growing up. They drove purple cars and lived in a purple house, so the locals called them the "Purple People." She's curious to know what they're all about.

— In this episode, we explore what it means to truly live in connection with the Divine and awaken the wisdom of the intuitive self. Together, we dive into the beauty of inner guidance, spiritual presence, and the subtle ways life invites us into deeper trust, healing, and alignment. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inwardly, and rediscover the sacred intelligence that exists within us all — reminding us that empowerment often begins the moment we become still enough to hear our soul speak. Valeria interviews Beth Wilson — She is the best-selling author of several books including "Escaping Crazytown, The Recovering Feminist, He's Just No Good for You and Meditations for New Mothers." Beth Wilson is an intuitive guide, energy healer, best-selling author and Biomagnetism practitioner. Her work is spirit-driven and deeply personal, offering support, guidance and healing for those navigating transformational shifts, emotional blocks, or a desire to align more fully with soul expression. She began her career in the U.S. Congress, eventually moving into publishing. Her first book, Meditations for New Mothers, was a runaway international best-seller. Beth published four additional parenting books to great success. During media tours, radio, television and speaking, she enjoyed connecting with others, giving voice to the anxieties, joys and challenges of parenthood.  Determined to present cutting-edge ideas to a broad audience, she launched Quantum Leaps. The podcast went to #1 in six weeks. Beth then hosted a Bay Area television show, In the Sisterhood, offering a new voice for women. She also appeared as a regular guest on ABC's View from the Bay, writing segments to provide guidance and advice based on her books.  To build on her success, Beth wrote and produced a wryly absurd comedy news show for women, The Feminine Front. Her media talents caught the attention of Hollywood. She was offered a national TV show featuring her warm guidance and humor alongside her psychic medium talents. Diagnosed with Lyme, she was forced to turn it down. Determined not to allow the disease to derail her, Beth found Biomagnetism.  This wellness modality returned her to health. Beth trained extensively with Dr. Goiz to become a skilled Biomagnetism practitioner. Currently, she has a thriving international practice that incorporates a variety of energy medicine systems alongside her intuitive talents.

We have reached the finale of our Glitch series, a month-long conversation about what it truly means to be human in a machine world. After exploring awe, agency, and identity, host Matt Summers sits down with teaching pastor Phil EuBank to tackle the final, most vulnerable layer of this cultural moment: intimacy. Reflecting on the real-time feedback from the Menlo Church lobby over the last few weeks, Matt and Phil unpack how living in a hyper-optimized, digital environment has quietly exposed a profound undercurrent of loneliness and exhaustion in our community. This episode dives deep into the weekend message, "Going Offline," moving past abstract fears of AI companions to look at the immediate reality of how technology is actively retraining us. When we become accustomed to frictionless, digital interactions, our tolerance for real-world relational messiness plummets. Phil challenges us to consider a sobering reality: relationships that never push and pull only take and never give. By looking at Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 and Paul's words on being "fully known" in 1 Corinthians 13, this conversation serves as a beautiful, practical roadmap for recovering our humanity through the slow, messy, and restorative work of real community.

The reports are in and they're not good for Brandon Aiyuk. The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly preparing to release him once training camp opens, ending one of the more disappointing chapters in recent franchise memory. His trade market cratered, no team was willing to take on the contract, and the front office has apparently decided the smartest move left is simply moving on. In this stream we're breaking down the report, what led to this point, what it means for the cap, and what comes next for both Aiyuk and the 49ers receiver room.  Subscribe to DB+ for the Bay Area's most unfiltered 49ers coverage.  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/ For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co  Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #49ers #sanfrancisco49ers #nfl #bayareasports #brandonaiyuk Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
