Let’s face it. Antonio Brown and Joe Rogan are perhaps two of the most honorable men on the internet. Not kidding! The number of times they honor each other… It’s a spectacle on its own. Besides, AB is at it again. He is stirring up social media in ways only he can. His latest? A strong announcement of his upcoming appearance. But AB always has a twist up his sleeve. Hence, it was his unique style that stole the show.

Brown has just landed a strong confirmation of plans to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience. And fans are buzzing, of course. The former Steelers wide receiver dropped the news on X. He captioned a picture of Joe Rogan with his signature humor: “Cracker of the Day #CTESPN Legend @joerogan @jeorogensol.” Rogan was quick to match Brown’s energy. He replied, “A HUGE HONOR! Thank you!” Brown’s response?

“See u on the show soon champ.” This exchange isn’t the first between the two. Nor is it the first time Brown’s antics involved Rogan. Earlier on Jan 16, Brown posted an edited picture of Rogan’s face on a cracker. Yep! You heard that right. And it reignited their playful dynamic. The pair never comes short of hitting back at one another. Rogan gave an unusual award to Brown (the king of distributing unusual awards) just this week. “He is my best Twitter follower out there,” Rogan said about Brown on one of his podcast episodes. Moreover, he also called him “f**ing hilarious.” With the chemistry they’ve shown online, fans can expect fireworks when Brown hits Rogan’s podcast stage. But what is it with Crackers, Brown, and Rogan?

The Rogan-Brown connection goes deeper than social media banter. Brown dubbed Rogan’s podcast episode featuring President-elect Donald Trump as the “Cracker Podcast Episode of the Year” back in December 2024. Rogan leaned into the joke. “This is a great honor and the only award I’ve ever won that I care about,” he tweeted. Brown’s short but sarcastic reply—“Honored Legend”—highlighted their unconventional camaraderie. Meanwhile, Brown has a knack for creating viral moments.

Brown often does it through his infamous “Cracker of the Day” awards. The term is sarcastically used to spotlight public figures for their remarks or behavior. But it has become synonymous with Brown’s online persona. In December, he extended this idea to an award show, the “Cracker of the Year Awards.” This included top-of-the-shelf names like Elon Musk and Mark Martin. Rogan wasn’t officially listed, but Brown’s ongoing mentions suggest a future collaboration—or at least a spotlight in the ceremony.

However, what’s undeniable is Brown’s ability to keep fans talking. He knows how to grab attention. The Rogan podcast is known for its candid interviews. And it might just be the platform where Brown’s unpredictable personality shines brightest. But with how he treads, Brown’s next move might surprise even his most loyal followers.

What’s next for Brown’s Cracker of the Year?

Brown’s Cracker of the Year Awards can become a yearly spectacle. Don’t you think? Blending satire and celebrity appearances sure seem like a hot cocktail. The 2024 lineup already included Elon Musk, Shane Gillis, and NASCAR legend Mark Martin. But more surprises might be on the way as this year unfolds. But when you tread on thin lines, it doesn’t take one long to take offense.

Brown expressed admiration for Caitlin Clark in December. “You’re an amazing player. I love to watch your game, you bring a lot of excitement and energy…” But he couldn’t help but land a few more lines. “So, shout out to you, Caitlin Clark, and if it’s hairy, don’t worry about it.” It didn’t sit well with many. But Clark said, “I have a great skill of just blocking it out. I don’t care what people say about me.” Besides, what truly sets Brown apart is his unpredictability. He has many shades of his character.

AB reached out to help Mia Decamilla after she faced harassment at a Bills game in December. Mia is an 8-year-old cancer survivor. Brown’s post led to a surge in donations for Mia’s GoFundMe. And it raised over $22,000. He even hinted at featuring her in his award show, showing a softer side beneath the controversy.

All eyes are on Brown as January unfolds. From his podcast plans with Rogan to his award show surprises. AB is redefining how public figures connect with their audiences. And one thing is for sure: Antonio Brown isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
