The trope came in full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Southern whites, threatened by blacks’ newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people’s perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence.

I became a Patreon just for Saturday shows like this, aside from The Black Guy Who Tips which got me listening to this show, I had to become stop being a freeloader! Randolph and Andy keep the mind sharp and the jokes flowing and aside from TBGWT, the best collection of joyful black intellectuals with a hearty side of ratchet!

Entertaining podcast. Mark is great and so are the guests. I'd have given it 5 stars but Terrance is annoying. Constantly interrupting and talking over others.

Everything about this show is great. I can't wait to become a Patron.

I’m just now writing a review. But I love you guys. Y’all are awesome. Shame on me for taking this long to write a review. Y’all are the bees knees.

I’ve been changing up my podcast listening and decided to add 3 Guys on. I’ve been throughly entertained!! I gotta get behind that pay wall to get more.

3GO hits you with real, honest, and hilarious conversation about what is going on around us. What started as 3 comedians in the DC Metro has evolved into 2 mainstays in Randolph and Andy with rotational guests that usually mean something more like 3 guys and a gal or 4 guys, but don’t let the name catch you. And the rotation seems to have thinned to a more consistent lineup over the last several months. If you want to listen to something that will make you laugh, make you think, and even piss you off a little bit sometimes, this is your joint. I have been listening for years and there is nothing stale in their formula. Props to them for continuing to push content that is fresh. I also love when they veer off into talking about hip hop since I have been listening to hip hop since around 1989. This is an intelligent conversation, but brutally blunt. Sometimes you see reviews for podcasts or music where the reviewer says something along the lines of “It takes a little while to warm up to”. That was not my experience when I found 3GO. If you have not checked this pod out, one show will probably tell you if you will like this. Not everybody likes the same stuff, but I will tell you there is a much higher likelihood if you are open minded enough to check it out, you will love it. Thank you fellas and Karen for putting yourself out there for the enjoyment of all of us. It is appreciated. @doubledownbust

My favorite podcast! Andy and Randolph challenge their listeners, guests and our perceptions of the streams of news that effect our culture and our history. Karen and Rod are one of the few bright spots in the pandemic (@theblackguywhotips). I liked Rod on twitter, but he and Karen 🔥…

It’s refreshing to listen to grown men and women that can be funny, common sense political with deep friendship and family love. My best friends in my head.

Always makes you feel like you are part of the group. Always apart of my workdays later in the week. Great show.

So I've been listening to TGO for I don't know, several years. Podcasts came into my life after sort of wrecking my car because I nodded off to sleep while driving. I looked for comedy podcasts to keep me awake while behind the wheel. Andy, Randolph, Tim, puppet nation and the gang gang have kept me alive in these streets. The show that had me busting a gut so hard was the one where Andy was talking about Jesus hands on the cross and it would need a panoramic picture setting. Randolph was away. I think it Andy, Dominic, Romaine and Mike B just going off on all kind of nonsense. I laughed so hard. The zoom shows, though I catch them after the fact as a freeloader on Thursday, are so fun with the audience chat and rotating guest - TGO has grown into its own. Andy, what about that merch? This freeloader wants and will buy a tee-shirt. V-neck, female cut preferred.

I found out about this show from The Black Guy Who Tips. I have been listening for about a year since I had my twins and have been home recovering. This show has a great community and It feels like my friends (in my head) are around talking to me. I would love the free year so I can listen to the whole show while I am at home raising my babies. TBGWT and 3GO gang gang, love y’all.

I discovered TGO after hearing Andy and Randolph on TheBlackGuyWhoTips podcast last year and have been a big fan ever since. Recently became a Patreon subscriber because nobody likes Freeloaders. They are almost as bad as people who won’t get vaccinated. Anyways, it is a really fantastic show with a hilarious group of regular contributors. Whether they are discussing comedy, politics, Covid, systemic oppression, sports, movies, food, air-fryers, hoteps, Karen videos or PAWGS it’s always interesting and fun. Really one of the best podcasts out there.

I found these guys a few months ago and I instantly added them to my rotation of podcast. It will have you laughing so hard you about to cry

Love the crew… they all work so well with each other. Great review of current events and pop culture. They make sad things funny and funny things hilarious! And the theme song is 🔥

Y’all missing out 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who the first time I heard you guys was on The Black Gut who tips. I was like their chemistry is amazing and I was hooked. That’s when I knows I had to stop being a freelodader thanks guys

You guys are hilarious, quick witted and the jokes come so fast that I have to rewind because I was laughing through the last joke! Randolph teaches me about what muscles to work in the gym. Andy just knows things!

I might be a free loader but I can put 5 on it. Great show guys. Keep it up

You are missing out by wasting your time reading this. Randolph Terrance and Andy Kline add a comedic take to many of today’s current events. Thoughtful and provoking opinions you need to hear!

Andy, Randolph and all the fabulous sockpuppets! Thank you so much for being honest, insightful, and just funny AF! As a longtime comedy nerd of color, this show gives me life. Keep it going, my friends. Thank you for keeping us laughing and thinking! ✌🏾❤️✊🏾

Randolph, Andy, Tim and various sock puppets are very entertaining.

I heard about you guys through The Black Guy Who Tips podcast and I really appreciate listening to your perspectives on comedy and life.

Great show! Funny, informative, diverse. Great insight on comedy from the comedian's perspective. Well thought out discussions on race, pop culture, music and comedy. Really good for commutes, early morning runs or just walking around running errands. Every episode is a must listen!

I found this podcast through The Black Guy Who Tips and wanted to drop a five star review that show my appreciation. The hosts are funny & insightful! Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

These guys, and their guest put on a great show! Their time and dedication come through every week. Congratulations on 7 years and cheers to many more. #threeguyson #cajunsparkle

I'm active duty military stationed in Guam, and in My job I'm the only black guy so you guys help me make it through the day. I get funny looks when I'm blasting you around the office but who cares. Keep up the great work, definitely gonna make a contribution to the tip jar this year.

Love the podcast. Gives a black and multiracial perspective with the hosts and guests they have as sit-ins. It's not politics, it's not pop culture; it's both these plus more, wrapped up in comedy and delivered by the comedian hosts. Keep doing what you're doing!

Love these guys! Their agility with balancing tough and timely topics with wit and well-placed comedic timing is next level.

I highly recommend this podcast! The interviews are awesome, a lot of hilarious banter, and they provide great insight on current events!

I was introduced to this podcast via The Black Guy Who Tips. Another great listen that's added to my rotation!!

Unique perspectives on a variety of topics that will make you think while laughing!

Phenomenal show! Hilarious, socially conscious show filled with relatable life stories and enlightened points of view. Will definitely be listening from now on!

Listened to episode 616. Had me laughing hard with "black-xplaining" and son had to text to keep it down in the bedroom. IMO, I'm not a big political issue guy, so it got dry with those topics for me but picked up on the "comedy" with book topics. Good show, will listen again.

Just had this podcast recommended and I have plenty of catching up to do. So far insightful, honest, relevant and FUNNY!! Keep it going!

Got turned on to this podcast from tbgwt. Five stars! It's a never-miss.

Love y'all plz keep inspiring the wokeness. U all feed my soul with laughter and I'm thankful. Bless up 🙏🏾

Shout out to Randolph,Andy, Tim and the sock puppet nation. Y'all do a great job keeping me sane from the boredom at work. Listen to this podcast if you want to laugh and have a good time.

Hands down top 5 podcasters in the biz. With their rotating Sock Puppet Nation this group of comedians are killing it with a great show. Everyone should listen. Tim Miller Lives!

:-)

Smart and funny, passionate and funny, cool and funny...and its twice weekly. 👍🏾

I heard you from tbgwt a couple of times and decided to take a listen. Wonderful group of guys that will start on one topic (the passing of a family member and end up on a hoodie that looks like armor!) I'm all in for their insightful conversations that make me laugh and get me through my workout. (I have learned not to lift weights while listening for safety reasons) thanks for having such a great podcast!

100th review ninjas!

Man what an awesome podcast. I have been listening to Randolph, Andy, Sometimes Tim and The Sock Puppets for a couple of years now. These guys are seriously interesting and entertaining (you really do need both). I don't necessarily agree with their opinions all the time, but if I did there would be no value add. Besides, if you agree with me all the time you are probably not that bright. This podcast brings news, enlightenment and sometimes some well placed ignorance to my life. Cause sometimes you just gots to be ignut!! Keep bringing it brothers. When I make the Florida to ATL drive by myself in a couple of weeks you guys will be riding shotgun.

Easily one of the funniest podcasts for the past few years. Andy, Randolph, and Tim are three D.C area comedians who meet up and discuss their adventures. The podcast always goes deeper as they cover current events (some big, some small) and all provide their opinions. The funniest moments are usually when the guys discover an audio clip that becomes a running/inside joke for several episodes. Listen to the show here before XM picks them up.

You have never laughed so hard. This podcast will quickly move to the top of your lists! Randolp, Andy, Tim (and the Sock Puppet Nation) never cease to keep it coming twice a week with riffs, jokes, and their unique outlook on current events. 5 STARS!!

Came from TBGWT ! You guys are awesome! Now you have 1,001 listens for each podcast :)

These guys and their guests are great! Funny, funny show that gets me through my work day.

I started listening to this podcast after hearing the guys on The Black Guy Who Tips podcast and it's become a staple of my rotation since. Lots of hilarity and really good discussion of music as well as current events.
