As he previously threatened, top-rated podcaster Joe Rogan is leaving California for Texas at the end of August.
This place is crazy. The lockdown still exists, right? The homelessness is completely out of control. The overpopulation is out of control, the way they’re handling this is so bad…there’s so many people that are, just, financially they’re so fucked right now, and i think people should be…I don’t, I don’t want to say people should be held accountable, but I think people should make decisions based on the way the place that they live is handling this really difficult problem. And the solution they’ve come up with in California is to jack up taxes, to jack up taxes to 54%. I’m like you guys are out of your fucking mind. Retroactively, back to January.
Here’s the proposal Rogan is talking about, which would “result in a top tax rate of nearly 54% for federal and state taxes.”
This state is bankrupt because they’re incompetent. They’re not going to become competent if you give them more money. They’ve they’ve managed the money that they got very poorly. They already have high taxes. There’s a 13.5 state income tax here in California, and the place is still fucked up.
Also, as I noted back in May when he first floated the idea of moving to Texas, Rogan will save more than $3 million a year by moving to Texas. (More, counting California’s new tax hike proposal.)
And just this morning, news broke where Rogan is moving. As suspected, it’s to Austin:
Multiple sources confirm that LA-based podcast host Joe Rogan has purchased an Austin, Texas home overlooking Lake Austin, after working with a prominent local realtor for several weeks and touring multiple high-end homes under a non-disclosure agreement.
The home is said to be the future office and broadcast headquarters for The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which Spotify recently licensed, reportedly for more than $100-million, sources say.
Rogan should totally have me as a guest on his podcast. In addition to my being hilarious, we can talk about the decline of California, stand up comedy (I was very briefly a professional stand-up comedian in Houston Back In The Day), Golden Retrievers, and the best places in central Texas to eat barbecue.

“This place is crazy. The lockdown still exists, right? The homelessness is completely out of control. The overpopulation is out of control, the way they’re handling this is so bad.”
So Rogan picks Austin? Further proof that people from California don’t have a clue.
But that’s the thing: Compared to LA’s horrific homeless problem, even Adler’s Bumsville isn’t that bad.
