Sophie stumps Ferg this week as her joke goes over his head. We jump into the questions and Byron gets first question this week. He re-watched Game of Thrones and softens his criticism of Season 8.

He wants to know is possible to disagree with a hot topic without the snippet being spun and you end up looking like you are hating. Then you end up cancelled in the wake and is that fair? We dedicate the episode to Dr. Frederick Humphries.
The Brothers are joined by three lovely ladies to call us on our BS. Ambrosia Mentor, Porshe' Slaton aka PD Slay, and Jaselyn Will keep it real on this giant sized episode that is worth every minute. We open re-living Razi almost dying just trying to hang at a FAMU party. The FAMUans on the show rate the the weekend on a scale of "Wednesday through Sunday" of homecoming.

I'm black, black, black...I'm black. We are back to our regular format and it goes down this week. Ferg calls buff the flexiest of the crew. Buff tries to deflect, but fails as he describes his trip to time square with the family. We celebrate the end of racism because Juneteenth is a national holiday now; while states ban teaching about Juneteenth. Ferg is not a fan of FEDEX and explains why. As we lean into the Juneteenth weekend Buff asks what is the black agenda and how do we get it implemented. Razi piggybacks on Buffs questions and asks, "Is Juneteenth becoming a holiday a big deal or not?" Ferg brings a more heartfelt question as he asks, "What words can make your heart grow and why don't we use them more?" It's a giant sized episode but we had a lot to talk about. Hope you enjoy.

We give you a look into the locker room as we just chop it up as we always do. Damarcus gives us the joke this week. Razi takes first question and goes directly to the gutter. He asks, "Does the crew prefer fresh showered or seasoned nanny?" Buff coins a phrase middies (man titties) as he asks, "can we ever heal the gender war?" The question takes a life of it's own as we discuss expectations and marriage as well. We hope you enjoy part one as much as we enjoyed recording it.
It seems we chose violence this week. Razi come out swinging at that Senate Republicans denying the January 9th commission. He sings the praises of ringfit adventure on the Nintendo Switch.

Buff ignores us half of the episode because the Miami Heat were playing those other guys while we recorded. But he does shout out the Lebron Haters. We talk the VP debates before Ferg offends more people with his "Great Divide" segment. Ferg launches the questions on a lighter asking about our top 3 one hit wonders that we thought would have had a longer career. Razi asks, "can a racist date a person of color?" Buff hits us with a #newsroom take and asks why do we feel like America is the greatest nation in the world when we only lead in wealth, infant mortality, and incarceration. We lag in every other metric that matters. Enjoy!
So Trump got dat Rona. And he debates like a 5 year old. Now that that's out of the way Razi explains V shaped and K shaped economic recoveries. Buff is not sending prayers to the president. Ferg returns with the great divide to call out the literature/Bible quoters of the world. Sky joins Sophie to judge this weeks joke. Ferg starts the questions with a doozie. He asks whether the brothers think a race war is a possibility after the election and would it be a decision for some white people to "aide and quarter" black people. Byron follows up with, "when can a preference cross the line into dissing the other side?" Razi finishes talking about his favorite thing-WAP. He wants to know whether #WAP and #period posts invite disrespect and if we are essentially victim blaming them? It's another week and another gem filled show. Enjoy.
The brothers are fed up with the Democrats. And air out their grievences. But not before Razi schools us on who Tanqueray is. She is 2020's Charlie Murphy with tales of the strip clubs. Ferg is back with "the great divide" to shame buggy slackers. Ferg starts off the questions asking "what would current day us tell 19 year old us?" Razi steals buff's facebook post and asks, "what is the brothers top 5 NES games?" Byron brings us home asking about the undecided voters and how they can still be undecided. And unfortunately this too is because of racism. Well, more like how much racism people are willing to swallow. Razi thinks racism light may just be acceptable to some.

Buff let's everyone know how he feels about the "never forget" crowd around 9/11. Ferg adds a new segment to the show called "the great divide." He basically eats spoiled ketchup and thinks everyone else is wrong. Hulie gets first question this week. Coming from a sports show he want's to know everyone's favorite teams. That ruffles some feathers. Since Razi is barely interested in sports he goes to left field with his question. He wants to know would the brothers send their kids to a charter school. He ends up explaining charter schools; well what he knows of them. Byron switches us back to sports and asks about Skip Bayless' comment about Dak Prescott needing to get over his depression and essentially "shut up and throw the ball." We remember 9/11 in our closing remarks and Razi goes full male THOT mode as he prepares for grey sweatpants season. It's another hilarious episode. Enjoy.

Long sigh. 2020 is not letting off the gas. Razi tries to lighten the mood while discussing Cobra Kai joining Netflix. It doesn't work. The brothers mourn the loss of Jacob Blake and Chadwick Boseman. As the discussion continues we get more and more angry. Byron gets first question this week and goes to the NBA. He wants to now how the brothers feel about the NBA teams boycotting/striking. That discussion brings up Jacob and Kyle Rittenhouse. Razi follows up with the question, "should Black America tool up and protect ourselves, our rights, and our property like Kyle did." Ferg keeps the party going asking, "What did we do to make White America hate us so much?" It's another heart felt episode about how exhausting it is being black in America.
Razi starts the show beefing with Akon. So you know this episode is about to be funny. Byron wants everyone to know that he really can pronounce Kamala and "our most cherished treasure." The brothers get into a nostalgic discussion of video games and cartoon. All that happens before the actual questions. Ferg starts us off asking about the best news we have heard recently and why people are hesitant to share their good news. Razi makes the brothers really uncomfortable with his question. He asks, "Are people born straight and why would you not be initially attracted to a trans-female that presents exactly as a cis-female." Byron has the shortest answer in three brothers history. Byron finishes out the discussion asking our feelings on Akon and his comments about black people should get over slavery and move to Senegal.

He wants to know do they teach little girls to be THOTs. Finally Ferg gets another question because it's his show and he does what he wants.

It's been a year that we started this Podcast journey and you guys stuck it out with us. And we appreciate that. So We start the questions with Ferg asking are we too fast to apologize and do we think Nick Cannon should have apologized. Byron is a hotel snob. So he wants us to make him feel better and tell everyone what we are snobs for. Razi finishes the questions out reminiscing about the No limit days in light of The No Limit Chronicles docuseries on BET. He wants to know the brothers top 3 no limit singles and artists.

We remember the lives of Congressman John Lewis and Mobile AL's Willie McCall at the top of the show. May they both rest in peace. Buff offers ZERO input when Razi and Ferg discuss the Last Airbender 😂. And Ferg tells us why Will Smith's situation and Kanye's seemingly mental breakdown are no laughing matters....well....Razi chuckled a little🤷🏾♂️ After the adorable Sophie joins us for the joke of the day, Ferg wants to know when the Brothers were 100% comfortable with themselves. Buff brings up the 15 year old black girl, "Grace" that was sent to a juvenile detention center for not completing her online homework. Sounds ridiculous right?

But we want to congratulate Ms Dillihay-McDade on her Mobile county school board win. Ferg catches us off guard with his question, "Do you think you have been thought of as the black friend." Razi wants to know if the brothers enter conferences or training events and look for the other black people. Then he follows up if they go sit with the black group or just give them the nod. Byron ends the episode asking for any advise that we can give on improving credit and managing debt. We close with some good news to try to offset all the bad news of this crappy year.

Another Week. And the brothers aren't as angry. We almost get through an entire episode without going off on someone. But, alas, we didn't make it. We open the show discussing Hamilton and our collective lack of interest. Ferg gets reminiscent about "The Wonder Years." He get's first question this week and asked who was our television/media personality that we looked up to or wanted to be? Byron asks what shows that were super big that we couldn't into and we feel is overrated. Razi finishes the questions asking how the brothers feel about the HBCU sports movement.
The Brothers are joined by Mike James of P and Z life coaching to discuss, well, life coachery. We know it's not a word. But we ain't got no sense anyway. This episode is packed with nuggets of information you don't want to miss. Razi calls conservatism racist. And that's just the start. Byron brings up the cost of bicycling. Byron's getting a fannie pack y'all. We discuss the upcoming flashpoint and highlander movies and the forced reopening of America in spite of rising COVID cases. We then discuss the 4th of July and whether we are going to celebrate it or not. All of this is before the actual questions. Mike kicks us off with whether the wave of change over race is going to stick. Then we follow up with a question about why Millennial and Gen Z are stepping away from the church. So we get really taboo this episode. Politics and Religion in the same episode. Don't cancel us and enjoy.

The brothers are back and we lighten it up this week. We open discussing our Father's Day and why in the world would Marvel want to cast Beyonce in anything. Especially Black Panther 2. Razi calls out the pink elephant about her acting abilities. Ferg is still angry and wants to know whether we are more worried to meet a gang member, a white supremacist, or a cop on the street. Guess what everyone chose. Ferg then schools us on his two new terms: Blue Supremacy and Blue Privilege. Byron asks about cancel culture and if/how to get off the cancel list. Razi celebrates the retirement of one of the greatest wrestlers of all time-The Undertaker. He then asks for the brothers top three favorite wrestlers. We wanted to bring some joy back to your Mondays and Make Mondays Great Again. (not to be used without the express permission of 3 Brothers and 3 Brothers, Inc.)
We almost skipped this episode number. But we digress. The brothers are back this week and open discussing the young lady being thrown into a dumpster by her male peers. Angry Razi showed up this episode and it went downhill from there for him. Byron gets first question and explains why Blue Lives Matter is a myth. Razi asks about B Simone's comment that she can't date a 9 to 5 guy and would the brothers be able to date someone with that mentality. Ferg finishes the episode asking "what is the one thing we want to tell our daughters on this Fathers Day?" It's fathers day and Buff's anniversary. Turn Up!
Happy Juneteenth to everyone and Happy Birthday to Razi's mom. The brothers are back this week to try to solve the world's problems. But we come to the conclusion that they ain't gone do sh*t. We open up the conversation talking about the Dave Chapelle special. Razi speaks on the movie Just Mercy and the Equal Justice Initiative. And Ferg slips in a question before the questions. But hey. Buff let it ride. During question time Ferg asks how the brothers feel about 4 different options for police reform. Razi flexed his little chest and got the second question. He asks if the statements' companies are making is just lip service. Are they actually going to address the systemic part of systemic racism. Byron had to skip his question but get's some things off of his chest.

After last week's episode the brothers are back to keep talking. And this episode feels the same as you are used to. But society feels different this time. Can we get back to the old normal? It's Razi's birthday and he breaks down the mask he has to wear to try to be happy while still reeling from his loss. Razi tried to lighten it up and asks what movie we would like to see remade from another characters perspective. Byron wants to know how we feel about the murder merchandise capitalists. Ferg wants answers on what's next and the brother's ideas on what is the next step for the black movement that is swelling up in America. Another giant sized episode. But worth every minute.
Ferg has to pull teeth to get Razi and Buff to admit that looting is bad. But Buff doesn't give an eff about all that. It's a giant sized episode where the brothers let it all out about the recent murder of George Floyd. Ferg asks our feelings about the looting that is taking place as a result of the tragic murder. Byron follows up with whether we should be sharing the videos of these murders and if it is causing lasting damage to our mental health. Razi rounds out the discussion asking how we can change the platforms of the major political parties and if #holdthevote will work. This is an extra long episode but the emotions are high and we feel you guys wanted it all. So pour a cup of your favorite spirit and enjoy (or get mad.). Whichever one works for you.
Byron doesn't wear sleeves this week. So we know the episode is good. Byron and Ferg talk fancy liquor as Razi sips his water. Razi also drops some knowledge about how to keep your kids connected to their friends through Facebook Messenger Kids and Ferg has some choice words for 2020.
The brothers are back to talk about the Future and Russell Wilson beef as Razi asks about kids calling step parents mom/dad. Byron wants to expand on Razi's idea about allowing kids to challenge authority; even when it is the parents that are the authority. Ferg gets the short question and asks about the brother's feelings about The Last Dance and the Lebron/Jordan comparisons.
The brothers are back after taking a week off to mourn the loss of our brother Buff's mom. She was a loving soul that will be missed and we dedicate this episode to her. But Buff didn't want it to be a somber episode. So we obliged. We get a little lively discussing Boosie and his professed abuse of his son and nephews. Byron asks what can we do to really change things for Black America besides voting or having a revolution. And once again Razi gets left with no time and has to leave his question to the listeners. (You can tell who writes the show notes, LOL) He wants to know what irrational fears did you have growing up or even still may have. Byron ends the show with one of his awesome stories and we even hear from Ms. Hazel at the end. So get your tissues ready for that one.

The brothers are joined by fashion influencer Lashoundra "Bird" Young of Young at Style (YAS) to discuss growing an audience, starting a business, being friends, and living life. Bird breaks down her journey from nursing student to fashion blogger to influencer and retail store owner. The brothers are a little star struck but we get through it and treat her like one of the guys. We call her out on the flexes and humble brags, but that's just what friends do. Bird asks the brothers how we kept our friendship so strong for so long. It was a hard one to answer for us. Byron closes us out asking about our single greatest moment. Another tough question with heartfelt answers from all.

So the brothers try to evade politically charged conversations. But we finally "go there." We discuss the wealth gap, presidential candidates, the general electorate, and greed in America. All in one raucous episode. We start off with a listener question about whether non custodial parents should be able to see their children during the quarantine. The answers are not aligned. Then Byron is replaced by Lil Evil and asks whether not voting for Biden is a vote for trump and supporting racism as some social media posts suggest. Razi goes even deeper into political territory by asking why is it that we need charity to support hard working Americans instead of just giving them a living wage. It's a powder keg episode with some strong opinions. Enjoy.

The brothers are going for either huge kudos or pitchforks this week. We open with a discussion about quarantining and the presidential primaries. Ferg wants to know when being politically correct (PC) is too much and what we do if we go past the PC line. Razi gets the middle question and uses it to ask about the brothers relationship building strategies. Byron closes us out with a question to set us up to fail. He tells a heart wrenching story of domestic abuse and murder that sounds like it came from a Lifetime movie. Then asks do we think it was the victims fault. How could he!?! Well listen to find out.
Captains Log. star date.....we don't know. The brothers are back and definitely having cabin fever as they open with their favorite Netflix shows and DJ livestreams. Ferg asks about God's plan and the saying everything happens for a reason. Razi isn't hearing it at this point in time. Byron wants to know have we ever had to go against our ethics or morals for a job? Razi finishes the conversation asking which movie was better: Casino or Goodfellas. And there is a right and wrong answer.
This week the brothers break down their gaming past times and reminisce about what they played growing up. Ferg wants to know why the backlash over Andrew Gillum turned really nasty once rumors started that he may have been cheating on his wife with a dude.

The brothers reflect on the new normal of life under Coronavirus (COVID-19) social distancing. Ferg wants to know have we thought about our legacies and what they will look like. Razi asks what we think teachers should be paid since everyone is whining about having to home school during the quarantine. Byron takes the last question and asks about family secrets.
The brothers dedicate this episode to one of our own. Razi lost his wife, Jennica, and just wanted to say thank you to all the listeners. We reminisce on the great times we had with her and Razi asks whether we are ready for unexpected losses. The brothers also discuss death taboos like cremation and non traditional funerals. Razi pleads with everyone to prepare for losses and have discussions with all loved ones, not just your spouse. It's a rough episode with some tears at times. But worth the listen.
The brothers are joined by the ladies of Femme Noir Files in our first ever joint episode. We tried to match South Park with our bleep count, but couldn't get that high. We chop it up about who has it worse: men or women. You know that was a powder keg. But before we get into the conversation the brothers get a little political talking about Super Tuesday and the coronavirus. Razi explains amendment one in Alabama and reminds everyone to vote NO. Then Byron mentions that the coronavirus is messing with the money. The conversation heats up when we start talking about the government breaking up black homes with their policies. Somehow we get on interracial dating as well. We finish the conversation with dancing to music with B*tches and H*es in it. It's a jam packed episode that you don't want to miss.
So get ready to laugh at our pain. The episode starts with Ferg telling a story of how Cuban coffee can't be trusted. He tries to get serious with a question about black masculinity being under attack and how D Wade is handling his sons transition to his daughter. The answers are all over the place as you would expect. Byron wants to know how we feel about the black history memes. Do we feel that making fun of our serious past cheapens the history? Razi sticks with the comedy side and wants to know the top 2 black comedies. Ferg follows up with which black movie do we want to see a sequel for. The three bothers being the brothers again.

Vera said, "I'm an honest h*e and all my h*es is honest." The brothers debate whether legalizing prostitution would stem human trafficking. and as you can expect they don't all agree. Ferg wants to know how we celebrate the new year and how we plan for the year. Finally Byron wants to know who are some overrated musicians and songs. Razi says Elvis. Elvis!!!! It's another show you don't want to miss.
The brothers close out the year with a trip down memory lane. Byron cheats and uses his opening comment to slip in an extra question about power couples and how they are not relationship goals. Ferg wants us to rate the last decade and give our top three milestones. Byron asks about how we stop the "gender olympics" (we are trademarking that so don't try to steal it) of the opposite gender trying to out struggle each other. It's not a race guys. Razi finishes the discussion with what do we hope everyone leaves in 2019. Have fun and HAPPY NEW YEAR (or HAPPY NEW YEARS; whatever floats your boat).
**SPOILER ALERT** Don't listen to this episode in front of your kids IF they still believe in Santa!! On this Holiday episode, we learned that at Orazio's bougie ass church, you need reservations like a prime steakhouse restaurant on Mother's Day. The Die Hard is or isn't a Christmas movie argument continues as the Brothers discuss whether they tell their kids about Santa. No surprise, they disagree. And after Razi eloquently breaks down the history of Christmas & why he tells his kids about St. Nick, this dude calls his kids' Christmas tree ugly smh. But Buff has his back! F them kids! Kid decorations can be crappy! Also, Mentoring during this time of year helps put things in perspective for Ferg. Buff inquires at what point do you tell family "No" when it comes to helping them out. And Finally, Razi asks what are our "cheap" habits from childhood that we still implement. We get you in the spirit with a nice holiday intro/outro song. We know yall waited til the last minute to shop or you forgot to get something. Block out the madness that can be the Christmas rush and tune in to ya boys. 3 Brothers No Sense!
Everything's back to normal. Well as normal as the 3 Brothers can be. Ferg wants the brothers thoughts about Lizzo twerking at the basketball game. Byron asks about the dumbest thing we have done based off of what we saw on television. Razi tries to get the other brothers in trouble with his question so he won't be the bad guy anymore. He asks what annoying habits the brother's wives have. Prepare to laugh and cringe a little on the latest episode of 3 Brothers No Sense.
And it continues! The live show part 2 continues where the brothers left off. Ferg wants to know who's the audiences favorite brother. Then we let the audience ask the questions. Erica asks about brands in Mobile that didn't make it. Jennica wants to know if there is a double standard with your kids about sex and she channels her inner Jerry Springer to defend her opinion. Tabitha finishes the conversation asking the brothers advice on how to have relationships like they do. Byron accuses Tab of switching sides on putting spouse above children. The energy and liquor are flowing on this one. Enjoy.
We finally got together in person and it was FUN! This was a reunion 17 years in the making, The episode starts with Razi trying (and failing) to dig himself out of a hole with Jennica. The brothers tackle old fads from their hometown of Mobile, whether they can handle being a house spouse, love languages, and the worst way they have quit a job. All of this in front of a live audience-wives included. The wives also respond to some of the questions and don't cut the guys any slack. The energy in this episode is surreal. You don't want to miss it.
Razi is going to be in trouble after this Thanksgiving episode! Ferg is getting all emotional. It's a crazy episode with Byron asking if Tory Lanez was right when he said, "If she can't buy it herself, she shouldn't ask me for it." Razi wants to know how everyone deals with stress and opens up about his PTSD. Finally, Ferg wants to know what we are thankful for over the last year. It's a real episode that shows the sensitive side of the brothers.
Razi is excited that Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes are out and Ferg is feeling the pressure from Z's ever expanding hall pass list. The brothers have a great time discussing our worst whippings and whether they were worth it. Byron want's to know some stereotypes we have heard and which ones we still hold. Razi wants to know who is telling on a friend cheating or being cheated on. What does man law say about it? Another fun episode with real nuance. Enjoy.
It's a special episode for Veterans Day. We have a special guest, author of the "Leflore Short Stories" and veteran, Sherman T Cooley. We discuss his history, creative process and of course we have some questions. Sherman asks whether artists have a responsibility to their audience. Byron reviews bro code for dating exes and Razi rounds out the reminiscing by asking about everyone's favorite concert. Another banger from the brothers.
The brothers are back to discuss mentorship, retirement plans, and #mute(insert artist). Ferg wants to know if everyone is mentoring and using a mentor. Razi asks about the brothers retirement plans and if they are on track to retire. Finally, Byron's question about who we have muted and how we pick and chose who we stop listening to makes Razi put his foot in his mouth again. Don't judge him. His heart is in the right spot.
They're baaaaack. The brothers take a serious look at hitting girls and the line between defending yourself and domestic violence. Byron asks about whether we have ever experienced an overt act of racism. Ferg' s question of whether we feel some type of way when someone doesn't claim being black causes a lot of discussion. It's another great episode.
Marriage is overrated; well that's what Byron says in response to Ferg's question whether we would we ever remarry. Razi asked about our hood saviors and if we can outgrow our real friends. Byron rounds out the convo with a question about hall passes for us and our wives. It's another hilarious episode. Enjoy!
We are humble. The humblest. We're so humble that......ahh who are we lying to. We ain't humble at all.
The convo is another great one. Ferg asks about the SNL news sketch about automatically rooting for your race and associating certain criminal acts to each race. Razi asks about our top three series and Byron rounds out the discussion with what preconceived notions about parenthood that we have found to be untrue. Go ahead and take a listen and hear our greatness. See, told you we aren't humble.
The brothers field questions from our listeners and it's hilarious. Do we code switch and are we proud of it? What do we think of cutting off our kids or letting them move back in? Can we date someone with far right political views? Finally, how about how much would it take for us to pimp our wives out "Indecent Proposal" style. And Byron is pissed about Victor Newman still being alive. It's another banger, so don't miss it.
The brothers got a little wild talking about tips. The gratuity kind. Get your mind out of the gutter. Ferg got Razi to curse talking about millennials being the trophy generation. Finally Razi brings up snitching and gets Byron to recuse himself from some of the discussion due to his "profession." You don't want to miss one minute of this episode.
The brothers tackle some serious issues around safety and feeling safe in a relationship. Ferg continues the interracial dating conversation and reasons they work out. Razi tackles the second amendment and when is it appropriate to introduce gun safety to the kids. Byron rounds out the discussion with whether we will help a damsel in distress when its a public domestic violence issue. LETS GO!
The brothers are back and get real one more time. Ferg starts off with a great discussion about being an organ donor while you are still alive. Byron's question asks about interracial dating. And Razi rounds out the discussion with asking for the brothers favorite Wu Tang member and their favorite rap crew sans Wu themselves. It's an emotional ride for the brothers this episode. Sit back and enjoy.
Football is Back!!! On this episode Buff questions if parents will continue to discourage their kids from playing football in light of the CTE revelations over the last 5 years. Also, Razi and Ferg expect some blowback from Buff's comments about transgender women as they discuss finding out you slept with a trans woman after the fact. The brothers round out the conversation with a what is the one thing we hope to pass down to our kids.
The brothers talk Spiderman leaving Disney, polyamory and polygamy, healthy rivalries, and round it all out with a discussion on bullying and whether we would put hands on the parents. It's another fun filled episode that tackles real life....situations (in my Big Boi voice).
The brothers talk the Popeyes/Chick fil A great chicken war, choosing a college, whether someone can buy your wife a drink, and if there is an assault on black masculinity. It’s a full episode this week. Enjoy!
The brothers discuss whether a spouse can make the other spouse sleep on the couch, their most awkward moments, and whether we should rethink "black" baby names. There's a couple throw away questions in the episode as well. It's another banger ya'll.
The guys grade themselves as husbands and fathers, tackle cheating, and discusses if class reunions are needed anymore.
This episode is also dedicated to Fred Marshall.
