Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 3: True Crime
What do decanters, Diddy, and Dateline have in common? They all show up in Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 3. Spartans Phil Carey and Joe Blodgett ditch flooring talk for true crime chaos, hot takes, and summer drink debates. From the Menendez brothers to messy karaoke, this episode proves nothing’s off-limits—except maybe flooring.
No Plans, No Gifts, and Definitely No Decanters
The episode kicks off before Father’s Day weekend, where both hosts admit the day doesn’t get much attention. Joe’s heading to Albany for a lacrosse tournament. Phil questions the fuss around birthdays and Father’s Day, calling it all a little awkward. They laugh about failed gift attempts—especially one involving a globe-shaped decanter.
Menendez Brothers: Bald, Guilty, and Staying Put
The first case covered in Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 3 is the Menendez brothers case. The verdict? No sympathy. Both Phil and Joe agree – murdering your parents and going on a shopping spree earns a lifetime in prison. The hairpieces, courtroom drama, and bizarre behavior only reinforce their take.
JonBenét Ramsey and the Pineapple Problem
Next, they dissect the JonBenét Ramsey case. Phil introduces the “pineapple theory,” noting a bowl with the mother’s fingerprints and no explanation from the family. Joe agrees – no intruder would wait hours inside a house on Christmas night. Their conclusion? The evidence points to someone inside the home, likely her brother. Finally, the decades-long unsolvable case is put to rest by two Bald Bros.
Karen Read: A Split Decision
This is where the episode gets tense. Phil believes Karen Read is innocent, citing inconsistencies and evidence mishandling. Joe isn’t so sure. He questions whether ten people could coordinate a cover-up so perfectly. They agree the case is far from over and likely headed for another hung jury. (Post-Podcast Spoiler Alert: She was found Not Guilty.)
Diddy’s Trial: Sweaters, Secrets, and Sweeping Allegations
Diddy’s criminal charges take center stage next. Accused of sex trafficking and racketeering, the hip-hop mogul is drawing comparisons to the Menendez brothers. Joe jokes that they’re even dressing him the same—sweaters and all.
Phil doubts the charges will stick, not because Diddy’s innocent, but because the legal framing feels off. They discuss celebrity privilege, courtroom image control, and the strange silence from others involved. (Post-Podcast Spoiler Alert: He was only found Guilty of the charges related to prostitution, and faces up to 20 years in prison.)
Summer Seltzers and Karaoke Regrets
After all the crime talk, the tone shifts. Phil and Joe discuss their go-to summer drinks – Sauvignon Blanc, High Noons, and vodka sodas. Joe’s a Miller Lite guy and skips bourbon during warmer months.
Then come the karaoke stories. From botched lyrics to duets gone wrong, they agree that confidence does not equal pitch.
Shore vs. Beach: A Heated Debate
The Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 3 detour continues with a shore vs. beach showdown. Phil’s a Jersey Shore guy, repping the Jitney system in Sea Isle City. Joe speaks for beach-goers, complete with party buses and slightly rowdier vibes. Each location has its perks, but both agree—anywhere with good pizza and red wine will do.
From documentaries to Diddy, pineapple theories to Pinot Noir, Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 3 covered a little bit of everything. Whether they’re breaking down trials or swapping summer drink ideas, Phil and Joe keep it honest, unexpected, and never too serious.
