• 8:10
  Speaker 1: first runner-up in the Miss USA contest that same year
• 8:13

  Speaker 1: of the show, and that is Rudy with the Friday Funny.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Die another day. Dad, we have to go back and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: watch those old Bond movies. They might be old to you,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: my friend, but they're not old to me. The old
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: ones are the 1960 ones. But yes, you're right, we
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: do need to do the James Bond catalogue. You're here
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for some humour, are you not? Yeah, of course. I'm
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the one delivering the joke. Excellent. So, Dad, have you
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: ever wondered how come the Hulk doesn't lose his trousers
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: when he transforms? Yeah, I have wondered about that from
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the show in the 70s and 80s to the latest movies.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I have indeed, but I don't know why. It's because
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the experiment altered his jeans. I see. It is quite
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: strange that you've got this giant monster and his denim
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: jeans stay intact whilst everything else bursts off him. That's
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a very clever answer to an age-old question. And a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: quick one for the listeners. We're going on a family
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: holiday and sadly there'll be no episode on Monday. It's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not very often it happens, so we're very disappointed. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we'll be back next week on Wednesday for another episode
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: of Couch Trip Trivia with Rapid Fire. We'll do a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Friday show and then we'll move on into those school
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: holiday specials starting on Monday the 28th. You know what
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we're going to do this weekend, Rudy? We're going to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stay gold. Stay gold. Yeah. Stay gold.
