What happens when you put two flooring guys and a former big leaguer at the same table? Apparently, a very serious burger debate, a few questionable golf stories, and a baseball career that deserves an episode of its own. Joe Blodgett and Phil Carey return for Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 7 with special guest Larry Bigbie, former Baltimore Orioles outfielder and friend of Joe. After an opening shoutout to the show's first sponsor, Westside Meats, the conversation moves from weekend plans and concert memories to Larry's journey through professional baseball and the experiences that changed his relationship with the game.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Bald Bros of Flooring, where the conversations are just as unpredictable as ever. Joe and Phil things off by addressing the elephant in the room: our newfound fame.

Depending on who you ask, they have gained anywhere from 20 to 150 new viewers, which is a massive win in our book. Unfortunately, the only thing growing faster than the audience is the realization that none of us enjoys hearing our own voice. It is a humbling experience, but they keep showing up anyway because that is kind of the point.

The Bald Bros dive into a wave of nostalgia, from Limp Bizkit’s surprising comeback to the days of waiting in long lines for concert tickets. They compare old-school experiences with today’s tech convenience, debate whether life is actually easier now, and share the struggle of surviving No DoorDash November with an empty fridge. A quick, funny look at how times have changed and how the Bros handle it.

The Bald Bros Crime edition delves into the Menendez brothers, Karen Read, and of course Diddy.

The transformation as SMA and GNA Unify Under Spartan Surfaces, going from a multi-brand organization into one powerhouse has been a remarkable journey. Since we combined forces in 2023, dedicated teams across Spartan, Salesmaster, and Great Northern Associates have been fully committed to building one unified team, culminating in the official rebranding on January 1st.

We tough on the diddy case, having your wife put up decorations while you chill, and special guest Kevin Dunn, once gym teacher turned legend.

The flooring industry is constantly evolving, shaped by shifts in consumer demand, market trends, and technological advancements. As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, it's crucial to understand these changes and how they affect different segments of the market. In this video, join Spartans Phil Carey, Joe Blodgett, and special guest Tim Dormer, in the Bald Bros of Flooring Episode 1 as they break down market trends, growing segments, and the future of the flooring industry.

What does it take to build a culture where success is shared, and every team member feels valued and empowered? In Spartan Surfaces' Better Together Podcast episode 3, host Wayne Carter explores this question. Special guests Ellen Stacey, the new National Director of Customer Service, and Michael Goldfarb, the new Director of Distribution, joined the podcast to share their insights on building a successful team.

Seven months into Spartan's acquisition, Salesmaster and Great Northern Associates are excited to  launch a new branding initiative to create a streamlined path to market for clients and employees. Although the companies' names will remain different, the team, strategies and branding will hit the industry as a united force.
