Joe Rogan shares excitement after Cracker Podcast Episode of the Year win for his candid conversation with Donald Trump: "This is a great honor"

Joe Rogan has expressed his excitement after recently winning the Cracker Podcast Episode of the Year award. He was given the purportedly satirical award for his much-discussed JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast episode featuring the current President-elect Donald Trump.

Former NFL star Antonio Brown, a veteran in the sport of American Football, has generated considerable buzz as a social media influencer as of late. The 36-year-old often puts forth satirical posts -- considered polarizing by some -- including giving people his 'Cracker' awards.

The practice has elicited criticism from certain quarters, who've argued that the term is a pejorative and has discriminatory connotations against rural persons from the deemed white race/community. On the other hand, its supporters have highlighted that Brown's assertions, even with the 'Cracker' awards, are the celebrity's attempt at satire and comedy.

Brown recently hosted the supposedly satirical Cracker of the Year awards. One of the recipients of the awards was veteran UFC color commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan.

As indicated in Brown's tweet below, Rogan won the award for his JRE's episode #2219 from October 2024, which Donald Trump. Rogan also officially endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential elections.

Responding to 'AB's' tweet about the award, the podcast mogul appeared to lightheartedly deem it a great honor. He seemed to jestingly hail it as the only award he'd won that he cared about. Rogan wrote:

"This is a great honor and the only award I've ever won that I care about."
