GMA star Michael Strahan has promoted a podcast appearance – just days after his morning show co-host George Stephanopoulos claimed they argued behind the scenes.
Strahan, 50, starred in an episode of All the Smoke on September 1 ahead of the start of the football season.

He shared a YouTube link to the podcast as he encouraged his millions of fans to tune in.
The ex-New York Giants star reminisced on his legendary football career ahead of the start of the new season.
He also discussed the Giants’ 2007 Super Bowl win on the podcast.
It came after Strahan and his co-star George Stephanopoulos appeared to differ over how to pronounce the word “Caribbean”.
After returning from a commercial break during Wednesday’s episode, Stephanopoulos wanted to settle a debate that he had been having with his co-stars.
He told viewers: “I want to get to headlines, but first we have to bring our viewers into the debate we’ve been having for the last five minutes here on GMA.”
George explained that he, Michael, and Cecilia Vega were debating how to pronounce the word “Caribbean”.

Strahan said it one way and insisted he’s committed to that pronunciation, while Stephanopoulos thought “it can be [said] both” ways.
Stephanopoulos asked viewers to settle the debate by tweeting into the show.
He said: “We went on for five minutes, I’m sure you can deal with it, as well.”
But, viewers were left divided as they shared their opinions with the presenters.
One wrote: “I’m with the second pronunciation. Sorry, @michaelstrahan!”
A second said they agreed with George, saying: “I think it can be pronounced both ways.”
HOSTS ‘CLASH’
A third viewer simply insisted: “Michael is correct.”
And another fan said: “I’m from the Caribbean so I’ll go with @michaelstrahan pronunciation for ‘Caribbean.’”
The behind-the-scenes argument between the anchors comes just a couple of days after George returned to the show following a two-week absence.
Fans had speculated that he had retired from the show before he returned to the program on Monday.
Viewers claimed that they had missed Stephanopoulos as they rejoiced over his return.
The anchor went to Greece with his actress wife Ali Wentworth during his break from the TV screens.
Their co-star Robin Roberts is also on vacation as she revealed she will not be returning to GMA until September.
She has shared beautiful nature spots and idyllic settings from her adventures in Italy and Croatia.
