Read full article: Joe Rogan says hes leaving California for a little bit more freedom in TexasHOUSTON Comedian, podcaster, UFC commentator and former Fear Factor host Joe Rogan is trading the Californian sun for some Texas barbecue, as he announced his plans to relocate to the Lone Star State. In his July 24 podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan cited overpopulation, traffic, and the need for freedom being a few of the reasons he has been persuaded to move from his current home of Los Angeles. Rogan also hopes that with his move to Texas, he could save $13 million in taxes, as California has a 13.3% income tax rate, Newsweek reported. The move comes after Rogan signed a $100-million contract with Spotify to air his podcasts exclusively starting in September. He already earns more than $30 million through YouTube, according to Newsweek.
