Jamie Erdahl on the Big Changes Coming to ‘Good Morning Football’ | The Rich Eisen Show

all right so big news this week um the internet has been a blaze I'd say for 3 four months about good morning football the future of uh the popular show on the network um a sports me winning show y uh all right so you're you're back July 29th we are back it's big news the show's going to it's going to look a little bit different it's going to be on multiple platforms we'll get into all all this good stuff but uh let's start you with this what the hell happened Jamie how how do we get here what's going on I just want to say a lot of those questions that were on the internet probably were from like ghost accounts by me like I had questions too I think we all you know that was a challenging couple of months let's let's start the story This Way in in March 8th I think we all found out that this was happening to good morning football that we were leaving New York and the show was moving to Los Angeles I was like 36 weeks pregnant so I had just come off the combine in Indianapolis I was just lucky to not give birth at the combine and I come back and we're like great we're going to rock through free agency I got some vacation booked maternity leave it's going to be great we we pop up with our bosses one day in early March and they give us this news and I we I I was so surprised you know you hear Rumblings of just the nature of the industry and changes and you know there is a studio at NFL films in South Jersey and Manhattan is very expensive and you listen to things but mostly you just want to do the job uh this was so not a Direction literally West that I thought it could ever go um I can only speak for myself that I just love my chair and the show so much and the the position the show has within the NFL that I was going to do anything to stay a part of it um and that meant um committing to the move before I had my third daughter uh at March 30th and my entire maternity leave has been spent moving my family from New Jersey to Los Angeles we got here in the middle of June and we're going to start rehearsing next week and we've got new teammates and but it's been it's been really hard it's been a challenge because the show is so teamb based but these were all really personal decisions to make I think for everyone involved in the show and so it's been I'm somebody who likes to talk things through and so I'm constantly just like oh how are the guys what's everybody going to do and um you know it affected a lot of people behind the scenes which was hard to see happen um but the health and the future of the show was kind of at risk and you wanted to move forward together and you wanted it to stay on the air so people made decisions that were important and impactful and lo and behold here we are going to come on the air from Anglewood on July 29th and on Roku for a couple of the hours of the day and that's right so that's one of the new things here so it's good morning football which traditionally had been a 7 to 10 10 eastern time show 4 to7 Pacific show now going to be Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on NFL Network so starts one hour later that's 5:00 a.m. Pacific time we'll get to that momentarily here uh also a new extension series gmfb overtime premieres July 29th streams Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to noon on the Roku Channel which is where we are so thanks everybody for watching Roku You' be seeing a lot more of Jamie erll moving forward now a 4-Hour show how is the the overtime version of this going to differ from the traditional good morning football uh I don't I think it will have the same Avenues but in terms of football I think the big thing is uh it will be on Roku it will also be nationally syndicated from that 10 to 12 uh Eastern spot so the big thing is we want to speak to the broader audience I think then you know certain fans are going to go to NFL Network to hear certain you know just maybe a more intensified version of our football takes and our conversations and the news then you flip over to Roku and to be syndicated you want to welcome a broader conversation at times I think so it's still going to be you know it's the first ever Sports Talk Show put into National syndication which is a really cool Flex to be a part of um but you you want it to be have almost start to drip into the talk show feel if you will um when it's on Roku and in syndication and my new teammate Akbar who is like classically trained now now in the uh talk show world that I'm so excited to sit next to him because Jason mccordi decided not to make the move with the show right um so Akbar is going to be next to me every day and I'm just so excited to learn from him and work with him so I think it's gonna almost be a little broader in those second two hours where you're going to see on Roku and then in syndication so Peter shreer Kyle brand obviously two of the ogs on good morning football they're going to stay based with their families in New York yeah and you'll see them out here I mean we can't do Angry runs all the time from like a little Closet in in the east coast like you got to get Kyle so Kyle will have to Angry Run himself from coast to coast a handful of a handful of times throughout the course of the Season how how does that impact the dynamic though because I know that listen social media is a terrible judge of anything but all the all the complaints that are registered listen I get all the complaints registered about myself you see them about why why are we screwing up the the best show on it it is different you're going to have a lot of the time those two in New York maybe in a studio together maybe on home cam some however that ends up shaking out but they're not sitting like the beauty of the show for a long time was the four people sitting around the breakfast table was this being in person it's not the same we did those shows in 2020 I filled in on a lot of them and doing it in the four box on Zoom cameras CU we weren't allowed to leave the house not as fun is sitting around The Breakfast Table how will the dynamic change and how do you overcome the inherent kind of lack of human contact that's there the short answer is I don't I I just don't know how it's going to change yet I I don't know the answer to that question uh I'm trying to be an optimist about it I what I am optimistic about is that I know Peter and Kyle very well I've just now done 20 months worth of shows with them five days a week through two intense football seasons I've seen the ins and outs how they both operate so if anyone was going to be remote and away from me physically it can be those two because I can still read them well enough to hopefully push them places and get them to go to their entertaining capacities um not knowing Akbar that's better that he's next to me every day because now I'm like I just met him last I just saw him in the flesh last night for the first time we met up um in the town that we happenin stuff with you or right exactly no he what an impressive human that's a whole other segment television but I'm glad that he's with me and we can grow together the way Jason mccordi and I did when we started um and then I so it's I'm okay with those guys making the decision that they did because it was important for them to to stay where they were in the capacity that their family life would have been affected and I know that we'll see them they'll keep the show alive I mean those two in my opinion are the editorial North Star of gmfb Peter Sher and Kyle brand like the the show can't do much I think without their engine at times catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12:00 to 3 Eastern for free
