How can l read ‘So does he have a hump? A hump and a hairpiece.’ in Friends?
Recently, I am learning English by watching Friends. When I watched these sentences 'So does he have a hump?A hump and hairpiece?', I feel a little confused. The pronunciation of hump is /hump/,but I noticed that Chandler read /bhump/. Where does /b/ come from? Did I hear it wrong? Or, is it a rules of pronunciation? My English is not very good,if you can help me,I will be very grateful.

it is too long since I watched this episode but it is most likely the actore mispronounced the word. There should be no 'b' sound. I will have a look on Youtube for it

I wathed that too :)) I've stayed on 5th season :)
I dodnt understand most words i heard there, but i use subtitles too.
If you call the series part and season, and minute point then i would be able to help.
I agreed that 'A hump and a hairpiece.' is a strange phrase :)

It sounds to me like "behind a hairpiece"
