My Little Dive into Rogan’s Stats
So, the other day I was just kicking back, watching some old UFC clips, you know? And Rogan’s there doing his thing, interviewing fighters. Then later, I think I flipped over to one of his podcast episodes on YouTube.
Anyway, watching him stand next to some of these huge fighters, and then sometimes next to guests who aren’t athletes, it kinda got me thinking. He always looks pretty solid, compact, you know? Made me wonder, just how tall is this guy actually? On screen, it’s always a guessing game.
So, what did I do? Like anyone else, I guess. I picked up my phone while the video was playing. Went straight to my browser. Just typed in “joe rogan height”. Simple enough, right?
Wrong. First thing I saw was a mix. Some sites said 5 foot 8. Okay. Then another said 5 foot 7. Scroll down a bit, maybe check a forum link, and someone’s arguing he’s closer to 5’6″. Man, it was all over the place. Seemed like nobody could quite agree. Figures.
So I thought, alright, let’s try the picture comparison route. I started searching for photos. You know, pics where he’s standing right next to someone famous, someone whose height is pretty much public knowledge. Fighters are good for that usually, especially during those face-off things.
- Tried looking at him next to Georges St-Pierre.
- Checked photos with maybe Conor McGregor.
- Even looked for pics with other celebs.
Still tough. Camera angles, shoes, posture… people online even started talking about shoe lifts. Honestly, it became more confusing, not less. Gave up on getting a solid number for height.
Then my brain went to his weight. He’s always talking about working out, kettlebells, elk meat, being strong for his size. Looks pretty built, especially for a guy his height (whatever that really is). So, back to the search bar I went.
Typed in “joe rogan weight”. Again, no exact number straight from the horse’s mouth, least not one that’s current and constant. Found mostly estimates. People guessing around 190 pounds, maybe 200? Hard to say. He looks dense, muscular. I remember hearing him mention dieting or gaining weight on the podcast here and there, so it probably changes.
Ended up spending like 20 minutes just clicking around, reading different opinions and guesses. It’s kinda funny, really. All this effort just to pin down a couple of numbers. He’s joked about his height himself, so maybe it’s just one of those things. What I mostly got out of it was that the internet can’t agree on specifics, and maybe the exact inch or pound doesn’t matter as much as the whole package. Just an observation from my little search session that evening.
