Met Joe Rogan the other night...

Was an awesome guy, really cool and I'm glad to have met him.

But..... I've been coming here forever and I never had any inkling that he was so short. I know it's a trivial thing but homie is 5'6 tops. When he walked up to us I almost jumped in surprise when I realised who he was.

For some reason I always thought he was 5'8-5'9? Is this just another case of Americans overstating their heights or is there a conspiracy here?

You should've asked him about what he thinks about the UFO sightings all over the place

everyone looks bigger/taller on tv. Camera tricks

That guy is super tall Phone Post

Joe cuts down from 5'8 for fights.

Is this just another case of Americans overstating their heights or is there a conspiracy here?


Do we do this? I mean I know rosters of sports team exaggerate and boxers I guess... but is this an American thing? Do regular people do it more here than other places?


Wow I guess there really is something too this whole "TUF newb" business. The first 7 replies have been worthless...

Good point.... if we're talking about pro-wrestlers, NFL players etc. However, Joe is a stand-up comedian.

Most guys exaggerate an inch or so, that's worldwide. But Joe is a really short dude. I would describe him as "tiny" and I'm 5'10.

IrishRottie - joe is a lucky fucker. wish i was cage side to of seen lesnar vs cain. keep up the good work joe.


Joe is awesome, I'm in no way criticising him. Big fan.

was he hyping up jake shields?

 

 imdb.com has him listed at 5' 8.5", everywhere else i could find has him an inch shorter (5'7.5")

There's lots of peoples' lives I wish I could have, but Joe Rogan's has to be near the top.

Edit: Even if I had to be 5'7

Okay, cool. I was just surprised that as someone who watched him on News Radio, has seen every UFC, has seen him grapple online and even listens to his podcast, this had never occurred to me.

Conclusion - everyone that Joe Rogan has ever been photographed or filmed with is short. Even Brock Lesnar is short because I felt like Lesnar when I met Joe and I am short.

roperninja - So by you are 5'10 means you are 5'8? <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
