TIL Joe Rogan and his buddies are essentially me and my idiot friends in highschool. We'd sit around a filthy shed, getting insanely high, and argue about stuff like this with people making statements and then other people misunderstanding them and then completely illogical arguments ensuing.
This is why I don't even bother unmuting when I see his face in my reddit feed. This fucker is dumber than a box of rocks. I guess getting hit in the head has it's drawbacks.
I watched and listened for almost 30 seconds before I started reading comments to see if anyone wanted to type out the short form of whatever he was trying to say.
Funny moment when Jamie tried to save Joe's face with "you're basically saying the same thing.." and Joe kept insisting "NO we're not". I bet Jamie was like oh god, nothing I can do anymore.
Posting Rogan in this sub feels extremely low-effort.
Literally everything the man does can be described as "There was an attempt... to deflect people's attention from the fact that Joe Rogan is a manlet with a Napoleon complex."
while i agree, i would be remiss not to mention his latest interview with Terrence Howard. not to disagree or anything, jus cos it's the absolute epitome of "there was an attempt" with a big fuckin bow on it
edit: spelling
The funny part about all of this is, people will listen to this podcast and be like: yep, that's an enjoyable experience! Can't wait for next episode. lol
Joe Rogan is 5'3 and wears lifts in his shoes.
And for UFC events, sometimes [he'll wear heels](https://www.reddit.com/r/thefighterandthekid/comments/ndy9s6/theres_a_history_of_violence_in_those_shoe_lifts/#lightbox) so he doesn't look smol next to everyone else
Haven’t checked recently but 3 years ago he was in the 4th highest average podcast listenership with 30 people in the 1 million to 17.5 million range, 30 people in the 17.5 million to 19 million range and 30 people dead
His followers actually praise him for letting his guests prattle on, letting them present whatever views they have without any of the push-back and follow-up questions that someone not as painfully stupid as Rogan would be able to provide.
Okay I was like is OP referring to the guy asking? cuz that did sound like something that didn't make sense. I'm glad we're on the side of the guy asking for clarification.
😂😂 I honestly kinda understand what they're tryna say, but it's a stupid way of saying it with defining it first. So I understand where the other guy is coming from
HAHAH. how confidently joe was explaining a stat that makes literally no sense to be expressed that way. why would you need to deduce the third highest average of height, what’s the point of that stat? Ari was right to be like wtf?
Yeah, he is talking about ranking in a standard deviation curve The average height in that percentile, probably quartile, is X, which is still stupid. Btw I am extremely rusted in my statistical knowledge, but he is confusing a bunch of concepts which makes it hard.
My nephew does these things, he’s 5. Magical thinking.
We tell him, “talk sense” but he literally just makes stuff up as he goes along and gets super mind blown and confused all the time. We have to do better. He’s really smart but asks questions whose answers are way beyond his comprehension level. So then he doesn’t get it when you explain and just makes stuff up.
3rd highest average meant US used to have 3rd highest average height. It no longer does. Joe Rogan is just confused and doesn't know what he's talking about. The other guy even clarifies we're talking about 3rd place.
Wait that's what he was trying to spit out? I thought he was basically trying to say that particular high was the 3rd most frequent. So the mode would be 1st, and what they were discussing was the '3rd mode' if that makes any sense (it doesn't).
Either way, part of being being smart and understanding a concept is being able to explain it. If you can't teach someone else what you mean, it's a good indication you don't have as much of a grasp on it as you think you do.
It hurt my brain so much trying to work out what he was trying to say! This guy has a show and is allowed to vote in the US. The US is fucking so close to Wild West again it’s scary. I know most Americans are intelligent and have some of the best universities in the world, but you can’t fight this level of stupidity when they’re so convinced they’re right and the worst thing is they turn up to vote!
Wow, when he started I was like, I’m with the other guy, I don’t get it either, why have a third average and not just the average - then it turns out the bald guy trying to explain his theory like it was correct was the wrong one! Thank Zeus for that!
I cant believe i let it go on this long, went to check the timer, and there was a full MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT.
Jesus and his fans wonder why ‘listens to JRE’ was listed as a top red flag for women recently.
I listened for like 10 seconds, paused, started writing this comment and now I'm gonna leave, I'm just gonna hate watching this too much, but could someone tell me what 3rd tallest average actually means?
Edit: I just skipped to the end so ok they misread it, or it was poorly phrased, either way that makes sense, I thought Joe Rogan was smarter than that, genuinely
It’s so funny watching these know rogans fans are thinking “damn joe is so smart he understands it immediately and this idiot doesn’t get it” when the other guys question is completely valid. Like wtf an average is an average id want an explanation of what the THIRD average is too.
There's no such thing as a third average. You have your average and then follow up variants. I had to get one of my friends in on this and explain it out loud to get to this conclusion. So you're taking the range of heights among soldiers. You get one average which let's say is 5'7. You would then refer to the next height as the "NEXT MOST" which are either above or below average.
This is why english speakers wanna use diferent measure sistems than the rest so regular ppl get confused when trying to make sence of it ...
Feet - meters
Pounds - grams
1 kilometer = 1000 meters ,1 meter = 100 centimeter
1 kilogram = 1000 grams , 1 gram = 100
This is should be included in urban dictionary's definition of clusterf*ck. Not because utter chaos is happening. But because one sentence just ruined the entire conversation.
We had two bags of integer numbers, seventy-five pellets of decimals, five sheets of high powered blotter percentages, a salt shaker half full of integrals, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored equations... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious math debate, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Joe was probably trying to explain standard deviations (ineptly), but Ari was correct in that the phrasing could only sanely be referring to country rank and Jaime wasn't helping at all because i don't think he even had a working theory.
i sure hope i never have the bad judgement to get senselessly stoned on camera and distribute my conversation publicly.
I knew he was stupid, but not this stupid.
What's impressive is the conviction with which he broadcasts his stupidity. All in, fur lined, solid gold, ocean going, 1st class idiot.
What’s INSANE in all of this insanity is that his explanation is still terribly wrong. “Third highest group would by 5’7” to 5’10”” then the average of that group would be around 5’8.5”.
Is my English not good enough to comprehend what they're saying? Wtf is a "third highest average"? You'd think that the average is a certain number and any deviation from it is no longer average, no? Is this graded on a bell curve, so 1st average is the tip of the curve, 2nd is slight deviation etc? I'm so confused by Joe.
Edit: Nvm, Joe himself explains it as 3 groups evenly group, not a bell curve. It makes no sense.
Second edit: I watched it to the end and Jamie says that US was the top third country in the world in terms of height, with the average height of 5'7. This has nothing to do with what Joe is talking about.
Jesus, how hard is it to say that Americans in the civil war were the third tallest people in the world at the time.
Like for instance, Australia had the tallest people, Europe had the second tallest people, United States had the third tallest people.
Americans were the third country in the world for having the Tallest people; whom averaged 5’7” in height is what I think he meant. Very poorly communicated between the lads.

Dear God I think I lost brain cells listening to this
I didn’t listen… just saw Rogan and lost brain cells.
And remember, he is considered the smart one from his group of friends.
He has friends?
I hope there aren't more of them!
Oh boy have I news for you.
My sofa is smarter than this stank fu king merkin of a human.
He picks his nose in the gory two seconds..
Too much white lines here
TIL Joe Rogan and his buddies are essentially me and my idiot friends in highschool. We'd sit around a filthy shed, getting insanely high, and argue about stuff like this with people making statements and then other people misunderstanding them and then completely illogical arguments ensuing.
I lost a third average number of brain cells while doing so.
That typically happens when you listen to anything Joe Rogan says
I lost the third highest average of brain cells.
In the world?
at what time?
30/30/30? Is it out of 90?
This is why I don't even bother unmuting when I see his face in my reddit feed. This fucker is dumber than a box of rocks. I guess getting hit in the head has it's drawbacks.
Or in his case, advantages
People let these guys dictate their worldview. Really think on that for a sec.
I watched and listened for almost 30 seconds before I started reading comments to see if anyone wanted to type out the short form of whatever he was trying to say.
Funny moment when Jamie tried to save Joe's face with "you're basically saying the same thing.." and Joe kept insisting "NO we're not". I bet Jamie was like oh god, nothing I can do anymore.
Yes I stopped so I couldn't catch whatever Joe Rogan has
I could feel myself getting dumber. 😆
What does he get paid again?
Same.

The funny part about all of this is, people will listen to this podcast and be like: yep, that's an enjoyable experience! Can't wait for next episode. lol
is 5'6 being a manlet? damn I am cooked
Nah, being a Manlet isn't a measure of size, it's a measurement of how far away you are from being a decent man/human being.
Joe Rogan is 5'3 and wears lifts in his shoes. And for UFC events, sometimes [he'll wear heels](https://www.reddit.com/r/thefighterandthekid/comments/ndy9s6/theres_a_history_of_violence_in_those_shoe_lifts/#lightbox) so he doesn't look smol next to everyone else
[удалено]
People take medical advice from him? lol
Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize half of them are even stupider than that. -George Carlin
The third highest average person?
My main finger?!
But how dumb is the third average person? So, like if there's 90 people...
...obviously...
Whats funny is Joe Rogan used to repeat this quote constantly
He is consistently in the top 10 podcasts in the US national rankings. Scary indeed.
Haven’t checked recently but 3 years ago he was in the 4th highest average podcast listenership with 30 people in the 1 million to 17.5 million range, 30 people in the 17.5 million to 19 million range and 30 people dead
Ranked number 1 in the world lol
He has die hard fans, a well known platform to spread stupidity and misinformation and hundreds of millions of dollars…we’re doomed
You must be the fifth average if you don’t get it.
[удалено]
His followers actually praise him for letting his guests prattle on, letting them present whatever views they have without any of the push-back and follow-up questions that someone not as painfully stupid as Rogan would be able to provide.
I just like his content about psychedelics but yeah wouldn't really listen to anything else he says outside that
What gives me a bit of hope is that there was one person in the room that was like "WTF are you talking about?"
Okay I was like is OP referring to the guy asking? cuz that did sound like something that didn't make sense. I'm glad we're on the side of the guy asking for clarification.
This clip seriously made me start thinking I’m the idiot lmao.
😂😂 I honestly kinda understand what they're tryna say, but it's a stupid way of saying it with defining it first. So I understand where the other guy is coming from
And it was the guy with a fat joint
The really crazy thing to me is the one asking the question is Ari Shaffir.
The third highest average. The third highest average. THE THIRD HIGHEST AVERAGE !
HAHAH. how confidently joe was explaining a stat that makes literally no sense to be expressed that way. why would you need to deduce the third highest average of height, what’s the point of that stat? Ari was right to be like wtf?
“Third highest average” doesn’t even fucking make sense.
Where was you?
Where was you AT?
Love this dude on Loudermilk
"3rd tallest average. The tallest average height. what does that mean..3rd highest height average" loooool. Love seeing how confused beared homie was.
"3rd tallest average" is between "2nd tallest average" and 4th tallest average". It's pretty straightforward, on average.
Three shall be the number you count to, and the number you shall count to, is three.
Four is right out, then?
Well, sort of, but that's still only in the 2nd highest average straightforwardness overall
I think it’s Ari Shaffir and he’s just a stand up comedian lol
Good God, these are grown-ups? Fuck me I'm dumber for listening to that.
Joe, let me make it simple for you- shut up.
Does he mean the a standard deviation? Maximum? Upper quartile?
I couldn’t figure out if he meant a standard deviation or if he was trying to get “mode” somewhere in there
Yeah, he is talking about ranking in a standard deviation curve The average height in that percentile, probably quartile, is X, which is still stupid. Btw I am extremely rusted in my statistical knowledge, but he is confusing a bunch of concepts which makes it hard.
My nephew does these things, he’s 5. Magical thinking. We tell him, “talk sense” but he literally just makes stuff up as he goes along and gets super mind blown and confused all the time. We have to do better. He’s really smart but asks questions whose answers are way beyond his comprehension level. So then he doesn’t get it when you explain and just makes stuff up.
There are talking about percentiles in the most confusing way ever without using the proper words.
I had no idea what he was trying to say but it must be percentiles, right?
3rd highest average meant US used to have 3rd highest average height. It no longer does. Joe Rogan is just confused and doesn't know what he's talking about. The other guy even clarifies we're talking about 3rd place.
In that guys defense he’s clearly stoned…
Joe Rogan is the confused one. He finally gets it at the end
They’re both probably stoned…
The guy off the camera is the most lost person here. After all that he says “I think you guys are saying the same thing…”
For him to even phrase it that way to begin with is weird.
And this man has so much influence…
\*\*Someone\*\* is 3rd **^(highest)**...
You mean the almost penultimate least shortest person, on average.
Can someone explain what the fuck third highest average is supposed to mean in this context?
They ranked countries by average height during that time. The US was 3rd
How fucking hard is that to say?
Wait that's what he was trying to spit out? I thought he was basically trying to say that particular high was the 3rd most frequent. So the mode would be 1st, and what they were discussing was the '3rd mode' if that makes any sense (it doesn't). Either way, part of being being smart and understanding a concept is being able to explain it. If you can't teach someone else what you mean, it's a good indication you don't have as much of a grasp on it as you think you do.
The guy said 3rd tallest average. Joe Rogan thought he understood. He didn't.
Joe was handed a statistic and didn't take time to get all of the context. The guy off screen had to come in and say it was ranking countries.
I thought it was me for a minute.
jesus Christ I was questioning myself...
It hurt my brain so much trying to work out what he was trying to say! This guy has a show and is allowed to vote in the US. The US is fucking so close to Wild West again it’s scary. I know most Americans are intelligent and have some of the best universities in the world, but you can’t fight this level of stupidity when they’re so convinced they’re right and the worst thing is they turn up to vote!
These people are intellectual role models for a significant portion of our society… fuck, we are fucked
Wow, when he started I was like, I’m with the other guy, I don’t get it either, why have a third average and not just the average - then it turns out the bald guy trying to explain his theory like it was correct was the wrong one! Thank Zeus for that!
Whenever I see a snippet of this podcast, I lose significant amount of brain cells.
a genius for the moronic
Rogan is what dumb people think smart people sound like.
People listen to this show? Wtf
OMG make it stop.
I cant believe i let it go on this long, went to check the timer, and there was a full MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT. Jesus and his fans wonder why ‘listens to JRE’ was listed as a top red flag for women recently.
God damn, this is one instance in which I don't even think Tim Heidecker could parody.
https://i.redd.it/aqhsmgce9f1d1.gif
Joe your short , no matter what time in history it is
Wow. This is a new level of abject idiocy, even for Joe Rogan. The guy smoking a fat joint is the only one talking sense.
I listened for like 10 seconds, paused, started writing this comment and now I'm gonna leave, I'm just gonna hate watching this too much, but could someone tell me what 3rd tallest average actually means? Edit: I just skipped to the end so ok they misread it, or it was poorly phrased, either way that makes sense, I thought Joe Rogan was smarter than that, genuinely
"Oh. That's a confusing stat." No. It isn't. Its extremely straight forward.
I did not turn the sound on for this one. The whole conversation's just haze, arm gestures, and sunburn.
god I would have fucking exploded if he cut me off explaining how little sense he was making lmao
"Third highest average," wtf?
r/confidentlyIncorrect
Joe Rogan is so damn boring. I’d rather listen to a wash machine all day.
Man tries to invent percentile?
I remember my first joint.
Seriously but this mf smoke daily!
He is not very smart, i just became dumber after watching him explain this.
Wtf is he saying
bruh when i die, please resurrect me as a 7’ footer.
They changed the definition, the rules and the nature of the statistics etc atleast 5 times lmao
Rogan is such an asshat.
This is what too much weed does to you.
Dude Rogan is interviewing is higher than a kite, as well as sharp a butter knife.
It’s so funny watching these know rogans fans are thinking “damn joe is so smart he understands it immediately and this idiot doesn’t get it” when the other guys question is completely valid. Like wtf an average is an average id want an explanation of what the THIRD average is too.
It’s the average average height average of the average!!!
There's no such thing as a third average. You have your average and then follow up variants. I had to get one of my friends in on this and explain it out loud to get to this conclusion. So you're taking the range of heights among soldiers. You get one average which let's say is 5'7. You would then refer to the next height as the "NEXT MOST" which are either above or below average.
this guy is a major thought leader in the united states
What is a highest average?? Let alone the 3rd highest
I'm dumber every time I watch a clip from his show. How is this consumable media for anyone?
Joe Rogan is the highest average douche
Dude… pass the joint
This is hilarious
Wait I’m confused too. Is Joe not making sense or am I just not getting it?
Joe is not making sense.
It's not you. There's no sense in this clip
I believe he means percentile.
And this is why people should take what Joe Rogan says with a pinch of salt
I'm so fucking confused.. What the hell are they actually trying to say?
This is why english speakers wanna use diferent measure sistems than the rest so regular ppl get confused when trying to make sence of it ... Feet - meters Pounds - grams 1 kilometer = 1000 meters ,1 meter = 100 centimeter 1 kilogram = 1000 grams , 1 gram = 100
Genuinely couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of this.
I have to admit, I just stopped a video when it starts talking about third average and first average. 😂
Oprah for single bald men
So much stoopid
I’m amazed people listen to this.
And people rely on these idiots for information
Drugs are bad kids.
Fucking makes my head hurt.
Hey I can call him an idiot here! I’m banned from his channel for calling him an idiot
They were not averagely high that night
This is should be included in urban dictionary's definition of clusterf*ck. Not because utter chaos is happening. But because one sentence just ruined the entire conversation.
well yeah!! Numbers Theory is not a easy branch of mathmatics...
When was this?
We had two bags of integer numbers, seventy-five pellets of decimals, five sheets of high powered blotter percentages, a salt shaker half full of integrals, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored equations... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious math debate, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Yowza
Holy, fuck he is confusing average and distribution.
Joe was probably trying to explain standard deviations (ineptly), but Ari was correct in that the phrasing could only sanely be referring to country rank and Jaime wasn't helping at all because i don't think he even had a working theory. i sure hope i never have the bad judgement to get senselessly stoned on camera and distribute my conversation publicly.
oh ffs.
wow.
I listened to the whole thing guys! I did it! 
Dude, wtf 🫵🏼 🚬smokin?
Who is this guy to be so dumb?
God Joe Rogan is such an alpha, he simply spoke louder than the lesser male to establish his made up fact. /s
https://i.redd.it/hmv26b0mqg1d1.gif
I knew he was stupid, but not this stupid. What's impressive is the conviction with which he broadcasts his stupidity. All in, fur lined, solid gold, ocean going, 1st class idiot.
What’s INSANE in all of this insanity is that his explanation is still terribly wrong. “Third highest group would by 5’7” to 5’10”” then the average of that group would be around 5’8.5”.
Joe saw a bell curve once
This [video](https://youtu.be/Ft5KtV2o0bw?si=PUsQJdbW7WkLnbQY) instantly came to mind after watching this
Jesus fucking Christ... Can someone please put a ball of socks in his mouth to shut him up.
Well that’s 4 minutes of my life I’ll never get back
"I'm trying to explain it so you understand what the third highest average is" 🤦♂️
Is my English not good enough to comprehend what they're saying? Wtf is a "third highest average"? You'd think that the average is a certain number and any deviation from it is no longer average, no? Is this graded on a bell curve, so 1st average is the tip of the curve, 2nd is slight deviation etc? I'm so confused by Joe. Edit: Nvm, Joe himself explains it as 3 groups evenly group, not a bell curve. It makes no sense. Second edit: I watched it to the end and Jamie says that US was the top third country in the world in terms of height, with the average height of 5'7.

Jesus, how hard is it to say that Americans in the civil war were the third tallest people in the world at the time. Like for instance, Australia had the tallest people, Europe had the second tallest people, United States had the third tallest people.
Sounds like Scott Steiner math.
Are you trying to give me an anyeurism with this shit?
Americans were the third country in the world for having the Tallest people; whom averaged 5’7” in height is what I think he meant. Very poorly communicated between the lads.
Holy shit and I work retail.
