In the most recent episode of Savannah James and April McDaniel's podcast "Everybody's Crazy," James discussed the societal pressures of being the wife of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and living life under that spotlight. They also talked about various relatable topics such as fake love, weird snacks and academic struggles in the first episode of their fourth season.

After the Lakers lost the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1 on May 2, McDaniels talked about how many media outlets were trying to get Savannah James' attention, so she would say something about it.

"I got media training," James said, then the duo laughed. "Lies," McDaniels said in response.

In his last game for the 2024-2025 season, LeBron James tallied 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists, even after sustaining a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee during the fourth quarter. He returned to finish the game, but the injury would have sidelined him for three to five weeks if the Lakers had advanced.

Throughout the series, the 40-year-old averaged 25.4 points, nine rebounds and 5.6 assists. Despite LeBron James' efforts, the Lakers were outmatched by Minnesota, particularly Rudy Gobert's 27-point, 24-rebound performance.

Launched April 30, 2024, "Everybody's Crazy" is a weekly podcast hosted by James and her friend McDaniels where they answer people's call-ins, lend their feedback and share some of their crazy stories too.

New episodes of "Everybody's Crazy" are released every Tuesday and can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube.
