Joe Rogan recently invited Spartan and Death Race famed Joe De Sena to his podcast. They had two hour-lengthy conversations that revolved around shaping kids for a brighter future, hustling when young, career perspectives, and other such important issues. As the podcast was about to reach its end, Joe talked about the latest development in his life. However, Ben Askren had his two cents on the issue.

Joe Rogan is a New Jersey-born self-made millionaire with a net worth of $100 million. This makes him one of the richest comedians of the world. He lives in a grand Californian mansion, equivalent to paradise on the Earth. Still, something is keeping him off lately and he seeks a move from his utopia.

Joe Rogan trolled by Ben Askren

We all know about retired MMA artist and former Olympian Ben. He was a treat to watch inside the Octagon and now that he is out, his antics keep us engaged. If you follow Ben on Twitter, you know that he keeps targeting popular UFC names and poking fun at them. So this time around, it was Joe’s turn.

Joe was looking pretty concerned in his podcast when he said, “I’m gonna go to Texas.” He gave reasoning for this, suggesting, “I just want to go somewhere in the center of the country, somewhere it’s easier to travel to both places, and somewhere where you have a little bit more freedom.”

This sounds a bit too much, given that he already lives in one of the most expensive parts of California. But he has his own concerns, and we get that.

However, Ben takes a dig at him.

Has Elon Musk got anything to do with this?

Not really! Elon Musk chose Texas as the ideal destination for building the Tesla plant. That was that! However, Ben decided this makes for a great story.

Anyway, Joe raised some other concerns when he detailed, “Also I think that um, where we live right here in Los Angeles is overcrowded. And I think, most of the time, that’s not a problem. But I think it’s exposing the fact that it’s a real issue, when you look at the number of people that, uh, are catching COVID because of this overpopulation issue.” Watch the full video uploaded by PowerfulJRE…

He discussed his issues with the worsening traffic, economic issues, overpopulation, homelessness, the coronavirus restrictions, and the failure of Mayor to solve any of these. All this showed how frustrated he is with the state. But Ben gave it light humor. And we still await Joe’s (or Elon’s) response to that epic troll.
