Ben brought high level technical knowledge and had a great coaching perspective. No one else on the show is even close to him in that department. Real wrestling fans who are deep into the sport want a world class wrestler’s opinion not just flo guys talking current events.

[@leewillow3460]

This is so true. That was the only thing that really set them apart from all of the other podcasts out there.

[@Vincentovich89]

I will miss Ben every single episode, but will continue to watch FRL faithfully as long as Christian is running the show.

[@dinocollins720]

yes!

[@tombystander]

John smith isnt coaching anymore soooooo? Whens the announcement

[@frankballswallet6693]

Have John Smith come on and give Ben Askren impressions.

[@Vincentovich89]

That is genius, but John Smith not gonna be interested.

[@tombystander]

​@@Vincentovich89just saying, seeing bellechick on Pat McAfee during the draft can make a man dream 😎

[@ralphiewigs2208]

I'd be there every episode...great idea.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

John Smith would be 1 million times better than whoever he’s thinking about at Flo.

[@rhinousmc8052]

I came here fully expecting Pat Downey to be named the new Co-host. The fact that this didn't happen should lead to Christian's immediate firing.

[@berk6413]

I think you’re being a little selfish not trying to get a great outside co-host to replace Ben, just because you miss having all in-person hosts. Ben hard carried the show with his wrestling knowledge and personality, and just getting another flo guy just because they work there is a disservice to most of the listeners who want someone that brings a level of character and excitement to the show like Ben did.

[@vikhound]

Couldn't have said this better myself. I wrestled in highschool and only got back into following wrestling when Ben joined Flo Having a wrestling luminary on Flo helps bring so much to the table.

[@driver8M3]

We'll really miss Ben's technical expertise and personality.

[@littlerich2644]

Your show was great because Ben was a friend to you but he lived, breathed and broadcast from far away. He asked those questions and brought up the points that took the show to different paths. If you see your team daily, your dynamic will be different. I look forward to the new shows

[@e2go]

Great points.

[@frankiecal3186]

Ben was the best part of the podcast only Chael sonnen can match his insights.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Absolutely

[@Ohio98]

CP you're a button down guy w w an incredible analytical intellect your counterpart needs to have a colorful personality

[@JS45678]

Thank You, Ben, for the last 4 years making FRL what it is today. 🙏

[@erikandlizzielight]

You guys need to put together a ben askren funniest moments on Flo video😂

[@timothymchale7460]

Without Ben who’s going to have the big brain wrestling take?

[@stumpslide3005]

The one thing FRL had over all other wrestling podcasts is the heavy presence of a technical master. Thats the ace in the hole. Please don’t throw it away.

[@bradleytraaseth3941]

Ben was the show.... See what. DC IS doing..

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

He’d be awesome.

[@mattrudd9338]

FRL is the standard! Looking forward to many more years listening to the show.

[@RandyLex-wu6jy]

Flow will never be the same

[@brendan638]

You the man CP

[@nicholasgonzales9560]

Bro yapped for 10 minutes only to not tell us who the next host is 🤣

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Couldn’t have been any less what I wanted to hear. If you want to bring someone in from within, they should be a good hire person on the periphery, kind of like Tyler was. You need a big outside personality who is older and with lots of high level wrestling experience to take the reins on the cohost. It needs to be the best product - not the best “opportunity” for those who have been working at flow just because they work at flow. It’s a meritocracy. I’m not a reward for loyalty. I think the product will suffer if you continue to hear from that lens.

[@OtherBrotherDarylSmith]

I know you were being facetious about Tyler, but please don't put Andrew Spey on the show. I would rather watch old re-runs than that.

[@ElMcMeen1a]

We need Shane!!

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Shane would be great.

[@cascaderetriever7618]

Bring back Ben!

[@e2go]

I never once listened to/watched the show and even had the slightest thought that it made a bit of difference that Ben was remote.

[@Ohio98]

That tom ryan interview was boss

[@PinFall89]

I feel Funky Askren leaving will hurt the flo cast

[@ElMcMeen1a]

Love the podcast!

[@dvdly]

I like Christian, JD, and Tyler. I'm sure you'll work the guests in fine whenever you can.

[@thesoccertrotter1]

Ben carries the channel, he has unique takes on situations, Christian always has a stale take

[@kylarquinn3325]

I really agree with everything you said here. One opportunity that this allows, that maybe you aren't considering is getting to do some "State of the State" wrestling interviews. We've heard a lot about the direction of Wisconsin high school wrestling, but it would be fun to get a few short (5-10 minute) interviews with different kinds of coaches from different high schools around the country. Just pick the coach of the team who won a state title and just talk about how wrestling is going in that state. What kinds of challenges and opportunities they are facing. Maybe worthwhile I don't know.

[@rolfgates694]

Good luck in this new chapter

[@ashurany]

Nice dig at Tyler 😁

[@ChandlerPogue]

Bring Willie back

[@josephallen7185]

It’s ok if a co-host is remote. Jake Herbert would be a good replacement for Ben.

[@chrisw4192]

Uncle Chael or DC Would have been iconic!!

[@ryanmahalsky8326]

Get the Bad Guy on full time

[@JM-wf2to]

Fuck no.

[@Vincentovich89]

Chael? Too controversial for CP's taste. Chael will say outlandish stuff.

[@6minutespotlightwrestling]

Yep so he can announce ryan crookham as crooklin over and over and over again lol

[@frankmanning5166]

Ehhhh Chael talks out of his A** most of the time and he would monopolize the show. I love Chael but don’t think he’s right for this show. Jordan Burroughs maybe? Or any recently retired big name wrestler

[@1515cando]

Gotta be Chenzo Joseph!

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Too young.

[@briansummers379]

WHO TOLD YOU!!!

[@frankiecal3186]

Adam Hunter is the best candidate does stand-up,Teaches youth wrestling Did wrestling in college and has some of the funniest wrestling stories. This man knows wrestling maybe not to the level of Askren but he knows wrestling.🤣

[@nategalvan3907]

Please no

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Who?

[@frankiecal3186]

He's funny af. His roast and insults are ruthless.

[@joshuat7171]

You run a great show. Miss Kyle Bratke. We’ll miss Ben Askren. Maybe you can have them on as guests periodically to mix in with your other guests. The show will keep on moving on and we’re here for it!

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Kyle was good but come on, Ben is a wrestling “A-lister.” You need to fill that with another A- Lister.

[@TimM-wk1zx]

If u r investing in JD to be an anchor for this show, ur losing the battle. You have nobody at Flo that can come close to Ben as far as hands on experience or insight into coaching great talent. CP, I love ur passion, knowledge and dedication to wrestling….i think overall you’re a stand up guy, and probably a great husband and father. I’m humbled by how pleasant you are. I’ve cancelled my Flo subscription, and will watch a culmination of content to get my wrestling fix.

[@beerlinsk2969]

Hire me I'd move there

[@ralphiewigs2208]

Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Steve Neal...take your pick.

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

I love all of those

[@davyhill23]

Cayden Henschel?

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

No more young kids just out of college.

[@jakenabbott]

The only answer to this questions is NOBODY.

[@broganklein4213]

Tyler caught a stray and couldn't even defend himself smh

[@koltonqualls3407]

started watching the show due to ben

[@jwerdy5179]

Someone who isn't bias. The Flo show needs another positive attitude like CP to promote the sport. Ben complained a lot and played favorites. He worships his friend Cael and even sent all of his prodigies to his program. It was too much conflict of interest with Ben. I stopped watching the show a year ago because Bens relentless hatred of all powerhouse programs not named psu or mizzou became exhausting

[@fr7nkyph7llyj7ne5]

☀️🙏🏼💓

[@frankmanning5166]

Jordan Burroughs !!!

[@OneManParade]

You guys had great che6

[@ashhinman1919]

Y’all should bring me on as the new cohost

[@LincolnFrazee]

I will never not listen to FRL. Hopefully guys can come on more like you said possibly Willie, Bratke, Nomad??, Cyon, Ben, athletes, and other Flo employees. Super excited for what’s next

[@Vincentovich89]

What if CP leaves Flo?

[@LincolnFrazee]

@@Vincentovich89 well I doubt he does lol but I’d still watch it

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

All sub-par options

[@sanchize06]

SHANE

[@jamiedrake8922]

You need a more experienced wrestling mind on your show not just a bunch need boys

[@Tfunrox]

DC or Chael. Maybe like Cejudo.

[@djp3525]

Not Cejudo

[@RGabeDavis]

No one

[@frankiecal3186]

Tito Ortiz would also be funny for all the clips of him saying something weird or strange.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brianmurphy3886]

10:08 if you pause the video just right at 10:08 when the picture flickers you can see a still of the new cohost

[@tamaroman6369]

Please not jb

[@johnpreston9574]

Didn’t you do a show about a month ago that Willy sailor was coming back? Also, move your headquarters out of Texas! Who the heck wrestles there! Maybe you should headquarter in Pennsylvania the wrestling hotbed of the world!! Duh !

[@nategalvan3907]

Willie will not come back they tried to ruin his career and CP testified against him in court.

[@hipqban169]

Bring JB in…looks like he wont have much to do after the olympic trials

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Lol - ouch!

[@djp3525]

Not in house talent…there is none!

[@TyG22]

Bring Willie back lol

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

I think he’d be better than anyone at flow currently

[@frankiecal3186]

Get Yoel Romero to guest host he's funny af. 😁

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

Not bad.

[@ItzBreeschanel]

Willie?

[@Imsorrybeg]

Hear me out..... Chael P. Sonnen

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

He’s too much of a one-man show. I don’t think he would cohost with anybody. And I don’t think Christian would be able to take it.

[@Imsorrybeg]

@daytonasayswhat9333 he literally co host a lot of different shows lol. You just don't like the champ!

[@daytonasayswhat9333]

@@Imsorrybeg I love him and would love him to take the job! I just don’t think he would.
