During a recent episode of the “Everybody’s Crazy” podcast, hosted by his wife Savannah and her best friend April McDaniel, LeBron opened up about a variety of topics, including finding the right person, and offered some encouraging words to the men and women listening.

“Sometimes you got to look in the mirror and say, ‘It’s not me. It’s not me.’ And the men too! The men too because it’s some, it’s some cutthroat ruthless-ass, b*tches out here right now,” James said.

He added, “Listen I’m in locker rooms, I sit in the locker room and sh*t now, and it’s a lot of women out here that’s now kind of flipped the script. And, you know, some homies out here trying to be good, too. [They’re] trying to figure it out and now they looking in the mirror saying, ‘Damn what did I do wrong?’”

Famed streamer Kai Cenat, content creator Fanum and Travis “Taco” Bennet from Odd Future also joined the basketball star for the special, two-part “guys” edition.

LeBron went on to say that sometimes, the men aren’t the problem and that if things aren’t working out or meant to be, the men need to just take it on the chin and exit the situation.

Later on the episode, the former Cleveland Cavaliers player reflected on his marriage with wife Savannah, noting that he would “fight, crawl, scratch, bite” to keep their relationship in tact due in large part tot the fact that he doesn’t want to be alone and he genuinely loves his wife.

“I know I don’t want to be alone, that’s for damn sure. If I got to fight, crawl, scratch, bite, whatever to keep mine, I got to keep it,” LeBrown said.

He added: “I have to do what I have to do. I don’t want to be alone. I’m an only child, single-parent household. I knew for sure…when I got with ‘Vannah, I was like: ‘This s–t is crazy. This is amazing. I love this s–t. I’m like, nah, f–k that [being alone]. Next time I’m alone, I’ll be underneath.’”
