Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla announced his decision to leave California, criticizing Governor Gavin Newsom and citing the state's self-imposed issues like crime, homelessness, and housing. Carolla, who held off moving until his twins graduated high school, expressed his frustration with the state's decline and governance, calling Newsom 'a sociopathic, narcissistic, empty bag.' He mentioned considering Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, and Tennessee as potential new homes. Carolla emphasized that his departure was out of desperation rather than attraction to another location, comparing it to moving into a motel out of sheer dislike for the current situation.
