They and theirs sometimes, but only in reference to a group of people. Usually an entire company.

So let's say you and another friend are discussing your friend Anthony. Which conversation is more realistic here:

"Where Anthony?"
"Oh, he want to the store!"
"What'd he go there for? We're good on food."
"He wanted to get some candy."

or

"Where's Anthony?"
"Oh, Anthony went to the store!"
"What'd Anthony go there for? TDC and Doc are good on food." (note: this sentence is said by either TDC or Doc)
"Anthony wanted to get some candy."

The longer you talk about someone, the weird it gets to not use any pronouns to refer to them.
