Episode Transcript/Quiz

Intro

The name’s Rollins. Brian Rollins. And this is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy trivia podcast.

This week, we’re going undercover with James Bond. Spy, assassin, and ladies man. The new movie, No Time to Die, has been delayed until 2021 (we hope), so we thought we’d help easy the delay with some trivia about the world famous spy.

As always, we have three rounds of ten questions each. I’ll read you the question, then you have five seconds to answer it. Then I give you the answer and you score your points.

If you need rules or a score card, you can visit our website, DorkyGeekyNerdy.com and get some there.
