Hodgman Promo 2
By: They Might Be Giants

Copyright: 2001

Woman: Seven hundred dollars.

Hodgman: That's how much the Delia Hotel in Cold Spring demanded as a deposit to cater John Hodgman's wedding in 1999. 

Woman: Seven hundred dollars. 

Hodgman: That's how much it cost to reserve the main dining room, which the Delia Hotel said could hold 200 people. 

Woman: Fact is, the Delia would be lucky if the dining room could hold 100 people. 

Hodgman: Fact is, the Delia lied, and when John Hodgman asked for his deposit back, the Delia Hotel suddenly stopped returning his calls. 

Woman: Seven hundred dollars. 

Hodgman: Is that the going rate for a swindle? 

Woman: Seven hundred dollars. 

Hodgman: Or is that money the Delia needs to continue to house a coven of evil witches? 

Woman: Greedy. Lying. Doesn't return phone calls. 

Hodgman: The Delia Hotel. Is it full of witches? 

Paid for by the friends of John Hodgman.
