  • Like the culture phenomena Dazed and Confused

    Golden Daze (spelled Dazed, like the iconic 1993 slacker classic Dazed and Confused) is the only podcast you need if you’re a Golden State Warriors fan who actually wants to understand what’s really going on with the team.

    I started listening to Cyrus Saatsaz when he hosted Locked On Warriors. He eventually left because of “creative differences.” In reality, those differences were Cyrus refusing to become a media puppet who spews propaganda just to earn the right to ask softball questions of p... more

  • Keep it Up…

    I am a big Warriors fan…

    Because of Steph Curry…

    I can’t watch most of the games..

    So I listen to this show after games on YouTube…

    I appreciate the passion and insights…

    Sometimes it’s a bit argumentative but I get it..

    Given not everyone shares the same opinions on basketball..

    I appreciate the insight and the time so it doesn’t feel like you are just rushing to get another add in…

    Keep up the good fight…

    Just kidding but take it easy on Steph..

    We’re all getting older and they depend on... more

  • Host is unhinged

    I used to listen to the podcast but Cyrus constant whining and complaining became unbearable and he started getting more angry and unhinged with his takes. He started to berate listeners and guests who disagreed with him. He angrily flew off the handle on some joint episodes with Larry Krueger and other guests, so much so that the guest he was berating left mid podcast. After Cyrus accused Larry of lying and Krueger quit doing joint shows with him after that cause dude is cookoo.
