Take a seat and get ready to test your knowledge alongside Dom and Bates as they face off in an electrifying game of Black Jeopardy on this special episode of the Black Man Talking Emotions podcast. What starts with a simple rock-paper-scissors showdown quickly evolves into a riveting battle of wits across five categories: Black TV shows, music, pop culture, Black history, and movie quotes.
The chemistry between Dom and Bates drives this episode, as they navigate questions ranging from identifying Rosa Parks' Montgomery bus boycott to recalling the iconic "Go home, Roger" catchphrase from Sister, Sister. Listen as they confidently answer some questions ("King Kong ain't got shit on me" from Training Day) while hilariously struggling with others (the names of the four women on Living Single). Their competitive banter creates moments of genuine hilarity, especially when they digress into an impromptu discussion about the contrasting approaches of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois.
Beyond the entertainment value, this episode serves as a celebration of Black cultural knowledge and history. Whether they're reciting Drake lyrics ("Last name ever, first name greatest") or reflecting on Emmett Till's historical significance, Dom and Bates demonstrate how games can be both fun and educational. The friendly competition culminates with Dom claiming victory at 1,000 points to Bates' negative 200, though not without some good-natured protests about question difficulty.
Whether you're a trivia enthusiast or simply looking for an entertaining, knowledge-filled listen, this episode delivers laughs while showcasing the richness of Black culture across multiple domains.

Do you know?
I'm not sure, because I'mmixing up Tucson and I know
that's French, that's notSpanish.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That character comes aheadfirst, but he's like an American
.
He wasn't the.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
West.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't think Shaka Zulu made it.
You might be right.
He didn't make it to the boats.
I think he died on thebattlefield.
Yeah, I'm going to say, yeah,he's a warrior.
I think he died on thebattlefield.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
This one is interesting.
I don't if I did learn aboutthis it was like a one day, we
read it randomly, I don't knowthis is.
I don't give a damn, I don'tget high at the score, but look,
this is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I enjoyed this.
Yeah, what's, what's new name?
Oh, joseph click.
Yeah, we wouldn't have got that.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Neither we wouldn't have got that, but it's good to
know.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
now we are going to get negative points for that
that's fine.
So I'm at 500.
You're at negative 600.
And I'm going to go BlackHistory 400.
The first African-American tobe put on a US postage stamp.
I think it's between two people.
(11:10):
I'm going to say one of thembecause I don't want to give you
the answer.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
What if it's wrong, though?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's why I'm nervous.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And I ain't cheating on me either.
I ain't been looking on myphone.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, I ain't been cheating either.
I haven't been cheating either.
I'm going to say ThurgoodMarshall.
I thought it was a woman, Ifeel like it was a man, but
there's only one other man.
I think it is over this guy,but I think if he was the first
Supreme Court, I think thatwould be something significant
enough for them.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Do I have to guess what?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
if I just say I don't want to guess.
You don't have to.
No, I'm not going to guess.
You only can guess if you wantto, but it yeah no, I'm not
going to get no negativethousand.
I need to stop guessing onyours if I don't know it too.
That was something stupid I didearlier.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, we were just enjoying it All right here we go
.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Thurgood Marshall is my guess.
You don't even want to guess.
Here we go.
Booker T Washington is thecorrect answer.
I knew it was somebody likeFrederick Douglass.
I thought I knew it was goingto be someone like White.
People really liked him when hewas alive.
Okay, I was going to say hewent to the White House and WEB
Du Bois used to think he was.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How did white people like Boogity Washington and he
was like the non-violent MalcolmX?
No, no, no, no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Boogity Washington no , Boog no, no, no, no, no, no.
Booker T Washington no, bookerT Washington was the guy that
would go like different placesand kind of try to tell Black
people to you know, mind theirmanners around white people and
kind of play it more straight sowe won't have to worry about
the repercussions and stuff.
But BB Du Bois was like no, weneed to be more proactive and
more animated towards all ofthat stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But I thought Booker T Washington was like that.
But he also said that weshouldn't.
We should still be separated.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It wouldn't surprise me if he was against, because I
mean, I feel like most blackpeople back then was like yo.
We were making way more moneyin our community.
So it wouldn't surprise me ifboth of them said that.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And then the reason why I said that is because
malcolm x was like that too.
But malcolm x was by any meansnecessary, exactly.
He was like hey, bro, listen,we gonna do our thing over here
and let them do their thing overhere.
You don't gotta be all.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know what I mean so that's what I was, because he
was very much talking abouttrying to you know, be I mean wb
.
The boy was looking at it likehe was saying we need to be good
house, niggas, kind of thing,but I feel like that was.
His whole angle was like weneed to stop killing each other,
we need to stop giving themreasons to treat us a certain
way and we need to just actright for these white people,
(13:46):
kind of thing.
Anyway, we could jump into moreof that later.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh yeah yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
We have moved on.
I think I asked that one,didn't I yeah.

Pop culture when white peopletake customs, practices or
traditions from one culture, youeither mock or simplify the

Speaker 2 (08:11):

Amstin African man.
I've heard of that, I justdon't know his name.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Do you know?
I'm not sure, because I'mmixing up Tucson and I know
that's French, that's notSpanish.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That character comes aheadfirst, but he's like an American
.
He wasn't the.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
West.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't think Shaka Zulu made it.
You might be right.
He didn't make it to the boats.
I think he died on thebattlefield.
Yeah, I'm going to say, yeah,he's a warrior.
I think he died on thebattlefield.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
This one is interesting.
I don't if I did learn aboutthis it was like a one day, we
read it randomly, I don't knowthis is.
I don't give a damn, I don'tget high at the score, but look,
this is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I enjoyed this.
Yeah, what's, what's new name?
Oh, joseph click.
Yeah, we wouldn't have got that.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Neither we wouldn't have got that, but it's good to
know.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
now we are going to get negative points for that
that's fine.
So I'm at 500.
You're at negative 600.
And I'm going to go BlackHistory 400.
The first African-American tobe put on a US postage stamp.
I think it's between two people.
(11:10):
I'm going to say one of thembecause I don't want to give you
the answer.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
What if it's wrong, though?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's why I'm nervous.
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And I ain't cheating on me either.
I ain't been looking on myphone.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, I ain't been cheating either.
I haven't been cheating either.
I'm going to say ThurgoodMarshall.
I thought it was a woman, Ifeel like it was a man, but
there's only one other man.
I think it is over this guy,but I think if he was the first
Supreme Court, I think thatwould be something significant
enough for them.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Do I have to guess what?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
if I just say I don't want to guess.
You don't have to.
No, I'm not going to guess.
You only can guess if you wantto, but it yeah no, I'm not
going to get no negativethousand.
I need to stop guessing onyours if I don't know it too.
That was something stupid I didearlier.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
No, we were just enjoying it All right here we go
.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Thurgood Marshall is my guess.
You don't even want to guess.
Here we go.
Booker T Washington is thecorrect answer.
I knew it was somebody likeFrederick Douglass.
I thought I knew it was goingto be someone like White.
People really liked him when hewas alive.
Okay, I was going to say hewent to the White House and WEB
Du Bois used to think he was.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
How did white people like Boogity Washington and he
was like the non-violent MalcolmX?
No, no, no, no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Boogity Washington no , Boog no, no, no, no, no, no.
Booker T Washington no, bookerT Washington was the guy that
would go like different placesand kind of try to tell Black
people to you know, mind theirmanners around white people and
kind of play it more straight sowe won't have to worry about
the repercussions and stuff.
But BB Du Bois was like no, weneed to be more proactive and
more animated towards all ofthat stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
But I thought Booker T Washington was like that.
But he also said that weshouldn't.
We should still be separated.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It wouldn't surprise me if he was against, because I
mean, I feel like most blackpeople back then was like yo.
We were making way more moneyin our community.
So it wouldn't surprise me ifboth of them said that.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And then the reason why I said that is because
malcolm x was like that too.
But malcolm x was by any meansnecessary, exactly.
He was like hey, bro, listen,we gonna do our thing over here
and let them do their thing overhere.
You don't gotta be all.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know what I mean so that's what I was, because he
was very much talking abouttrying to you know, be I mean wb
.
The boy was looking at it likehe was saying we need to be good
house, niggas, kind of thing,but I feel like that was.
His whole angle was like weneed to stop killing each other,
we need to stop giving themreasons to treat us a certain
way and we need to just actright for these white people,
(13:46):
kind of thing.
Anyway, we could jump into moreof that later.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Oh yeah yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
We have moved on.
I think I asked that one,didn't I yeah.

Here we go.
I'm going to just go ahead andplay it safe.
Let's go 400.
Pop culture when white peopletake customs, practices or
traditions from one culture, youeither mock or simplify the
meaning or take a piece of theculture.
(16:19):
This also means taking wearingsomething from another culture
and appreciating it you ain'tgot to read all that.
You know what it is.
It's not on the bodyappropriation.
Know what it is?
I don't know.
I just wanted to make sure Iread the whole question.

He had one tough question, youknow me.
Speaker 1 (17:27):

You know why I didn't have one?
Because instead of goingstraight to 500, I went to 100.
It got my points.
That's why that last one was a200.
But listen, how would it be 400was for Harpo and be 400 was
for Harpo and it's like that'sunfair.
I shouldn't have got that for400.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
That should have been like a $200.
I was hey, I ain't gonna lie, Iwas close, I was on with you.
If I would have got, if I couldhave got that last name on
Living Single, I'd have beenright there.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I know that would have been perfect for you and,
like I said, when you made therevelation that we didn't have
to guess every time, I was like,oh yeah, I don't have to guess

no reason, we just don't guessit.
