Producers on Good Morning America had to be disappointed with manly man Michael Strahan who shied away from asking Bill Belichick about his hot GF.
The show producers are mostly female and mostly cranky from having to work overnights prepping the morning show so that the anchors have proper interview prompts with prominent guests.
Strahan has Belichick LIVE and wouldn't go deep on the coach's relationship with a cheerleader who is 50 years his junior. Does she want to get married? Have you bought a ring? Does she want to have a baby? Are you able to make that happen, old man? Does she go clubbing when you fall asleep watching Jeopardy at 7:30 PM?
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, MICHAEL. No morning show viewer wants to hear about football strategies!
Ask him if she knows how to make oatmeal and change bedpans!!!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anyway, I haven't been right since Hall and Oates broke up.
They seem like such nice boys. Well, should hang out
with Bruce Springsteen. He seems like he's happy. Yeah, he's
a crank too, isn't he. That's his problem. But cranks
are in vogue. Tough guys and cranks are always in vogue.
You'll remember Bill Belichick was interviewed on Sixty Minutes and
(00:21):
it created a whole firestarm. People who normally wouldn't pay
any attention to this were like, wait a minute, what,
there's an old man in his seventies and oh, he
was Tom Brady's coach. Oh, I know who Tom Brady is.
That's what a lot of people say. And they saw
a picture of him on Instagram or the Tick in
the Tok or something where the old man's on his
back and he's got his feet perched up in the air,
(00:44):
sticking his legs straight up in the air, and a
hot twenty four year old yoga instructor on the other
end of his legs, and it was like, well, that's
an interesting but oh, wait a minute, they're dating. She's
twenty four, he is seventy three. His name's Bill Belichick.
By the way, the twenty four year old competed in
Miss Maine USA last weekend. Came in third. Even think
(01:09):
with her celebrity of late you know, No, she wasn't
even second best, third, second runner up. So here they
are on sixty minutes. Well, it's supposed to be Bill Belichick.
The guy is Tony Dicoppolo, who's asking the question. Jordan
was a constant presence during our interview. You have Jordan
right over there. Everybody in the world seems to be
(01:31):
following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your private life.
It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested
in it. How do you deal with that?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
to try to do what I feel like is that's
for me and what's right?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
How did you guys meet not talking about this? No, no,
it's a topic neither one of them is comfortable commenting on. Well,
obviously a lot of people started commenting now who didn't
even know about it, or now it becomes a story
because you complained about it or whatever. So this morning
on Good Morning America, and that's where Robin Roberts is
(02:08):
and I think Stephanopoulos is there now and again, but
Michael Strahan is the co host most of the time
on that show. You know, they rotate anchors in it
out of there. And he's a former NFL player, big time.
He might still be the all time sax leader in
the NFL. And a lot of people are still mad
at Brett Farv because they think Brett Farv just dive
(02:29):
took a dive to let stray Han get that title
of most sacks ever. Created a whole firestorm, didn't it.
With the what's his name Gastono? Yeah, yeah, Gaston, No,
not junior Mark Gastino, And he saw him at some
trade show, some some celebrity show and wanted to challenge
(02:52):
him to a fight. Gaston saw Farv there, laid down
straighthean get my record or whatever. They were tired or whatever.
It's like. But those old guys, they got nothing else
to talk about. But this one old guy, Belichick, he's
still working. He is the North Carolina University of North
(03:13):
Carolina tar Heels football coach. But he's won seven eight
Super Bowls. He's won a ton of them for sure.
At New England when he was New England Patriots coach.
So they do a nine and a half minute interview
this morning on Good Morning America. Strahan the great sack
leader of all time in the NFL, or at least was,
and Bill Belichick the winningest coach in terms of championship rings.
(03:36):
They even kidded each other about that because the Giants
beat the Patriots at some point, and they talk and
Belichick's so glad you didn't wear that ring, and Strayhan goes, well,
you got nineteen. What do you care? Anyway, they're talking
along along, and I've worked in media long enough to
know producers they want you to get certain things out
(03:57):
of interviews. And now I'm going to say something that
people are going to be mad at me about. Most
producers are women. There, I said it out loud. I
can assure you, without knowing, I can assure you that
there was at least one female voice, if not two,
(04:19):
because in the control room, multiple people have access to
where they just push down a button and they can
say something that goes in your earpiece that no one
else hears. You know, there's a sound person, there's a producer, director.
They can all talk in your ear by just pressing, clicking,
a button that they have on the headset that they're wearing,
and they can tell you, you know, ask about wrap it up.
(04:40):
That's usually what that's for. Fifteen seconds, go, thirty seconds, rap,
and that's usually what they do. But sometimes they goose
you to ask things. I can guarantee you without knowing
that more than one female producer on that show this
morning is that ask about the girlfriend, girlfriend GF GF
because all they're talking about is football for eight minutes
(05:03):
and the GF. And you know, the producers on morning
TV shows they have to get up at midnight and
they write the leads and all that, and they you know,
they're they dressed like shlubs because they have to. They
haven't had a bath in four or five days. It's
a tough life. It's just it just is. And so
they're cranky. By the time the show's on the air,
they've already been there for six or seven hours. They're miserable,
(05:25):
they're underpaid, they're underappreciated. All those things are true. So
by the time the show's on the air, there they're
on the edge. She's had nineteen cups of coffee. It's
probably vates about three hundred times under the counter. We're
hoping nobody sees it. Oh, here comes that jackass Belichick. Okay,
(05:46):
and then they start talking football, football for well, finally
she leans in on that mic that goes only in
straight hands hear and says, ask, come on, don't sounds
like the Lady and the Exorcist, you know, gets the
deep voice frad So finally, here here they are talking
about football. And listen to the transition that straight hands.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Like, really do I have to do this the process
of you know, reacclimating to a little bit of its
football still football, but there's certainly some differences. And it'll
be interesting to see how the whole house settlement comes
out with what the rules are exactly, with the roster
size and and you know, compensation for the players all
that in trying to figure out how to maximize care
(06:28):
they deserve at the same time maintaining the competitive balance
on your team, you know, like we had to do
a salary cap in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, and I know that a lot have been made
also in the professional life, but also your personal life
because it's spilt over into your professional life in a
lot of way. Then a lot have been made about
your relationship with Jordan Hudson. Uh, it's been getting a
lot of attension. She isn't here this morning, But what
do you think about all the attention that your relationship
has been getting.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, well she's been terrific to you know, through the
whole process, and she's been very helpful to me. She
does the business things that don't relate to North Carolina
that come up in my life, so I can concentrate
on football, and that's really what I want to do.
You know. I acknowledge her in the book. She was
very helpful on that with the with the tribute pages
and also given a perspective of the book from kind
of a business side. And ask him after a love
(07:15):
technical ask him, I got married, good job.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So what what did Jordan mean to you?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, we have good personal relationship. And you know, I'm
not talking about personal relationships. Michael.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You know that, Okay, I know that code saying are
you happy?
Speaker 1 (07:30):

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Can you look happy?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
I hate you. You wept out, You wept out. You're
not a man, George mark Gast. It's a better tackle
and that's where it goes from there. And then straight
hand Da just sheepishly hang his head and walked to
the lunch room. Every woman it works on that show
just shaking their heads. You whimp. You didn't go for
(08:21):
the big questions. Has she bought a wedding dress? Have
you bought a ring? Does she want to get pregnant?
She wants baby. She's twenty four, you're one hundred and
twenty four. Can you still get that job done? Why
don't you take Monday off. We're gonna go see if
