Title: Any idea who H-Man is?
Post by: Joe Rogaine on August 05, 2008, 06:25:49 PM
So who is this so called protege?

He is the younger brother of Jason Wolliner of Human Giant, Harri Wolliner. He was also in the chat with us last week.

A few months ago, I believe, Tom referred to him as an enemy when he became competition and started a radio show on his college station.

Well here is Harri Woliner's myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=13417882

He seems to be a big Weird Al fan and includes W.C. Fields in his favorite movies, which reminds me of how hard I laugh every time Tom tells Spike that he's like Fields.

Next week shall be a very interesting show.

So what is he like the fourth secret member of Human Giant? I thought it was just the three guys.

H-Man is a movie promo:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454306/

The Kid got $4500 to plug it. I hear Mike was even up for the role of Wild Enrique.

I think John Hodgman sometimes refers to himself as H-man, but I think we can all safely assume he's not the one in question.

Please keep in mind the H-man is quite green - probably not yet 21.
I look forward to his show!

And yet, he is still a "man."

God damn.....I want John Hodgman to host an episode of the Best Show. That would calm things down a bit.

As long as Justin Long makes no appearances, I'd love to heard Hodgman on the Best Show sometime.

Why don't we just have Jonathan Coulton and Ira Glass on while we're at it?  Maybe Dave Eggers could do a reading.

If we're really going to go that route, I put my vote in for Dan Savage.  He doesn't take any guff.

I fear H-Man will be like the cool, older babysitter left in charge.

The one that everyone is trying to impress.  Vying for his attention.  Etc.  The one who lets you get away with things you might otherwise not have been able to get away with, like:

"Well, Tom let's us curse on-air."

or:

"We get to stay on later than 11pm."

I have to say, that would be pretty great. There's always this (http://twitter.com/hodgman/statuses/862376745) already (sorry for the stalker nerd stuff, it was pointed out to me by someone else).

The H-man can only be one person - Hammerhead, who I believe still has his hat in the mayoral race.  I just hope he doesn't rely too much on the Taang! back catalog for his playlist.

At any rate I hope this is all a big joke, though I would understand anyone wanting to move on to new things.

h-man has connections based on family, and is a young and charming(?) college boy apparently.  and he was a lot of fun, pretty good job.
