Welcome back to BroBible’s Things We Want. I’m Brandon Wenerd, the publisher of BroBible.com.
Exhale, everybody. We didn’t quite make the Friday deadline thanks to a big Thursday night out (more on that below), so consider this a special Weekend edition. It’s finally getting warmer out and the days are longer: daylight past 7:00 PM is a total game-changer for my headspace. We’ve had a massive week here at BroBible, and I’m stoked to dive into everything we’ve been tracking.
If you’re in Los Angeles, come hang out with us this coming week. We’re hosting a special screening of the MMA flick BEAST starring Luke Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, and Daniel MacPherson. It’s happening at the AMC Century City 15 next Wednesday at 7:30 PM. We’ve had some incredible turnouts for these lately, and we’re looking to pack the house once again.
IF You’re In LA, RSVP FOR THE SCREENING HERE
While it’s been a busy catch-up week, a few things have really been dominating my radar. First off, the Jim Irsay Collection auction at Christie’s is officially underway, and the results are mind-blowing. Seeing Jerry Garcia’s “Tiger” pull in $11.56 million while Derek Trucks watched from the front row feels like a genuinely historic rock ‘n’ roll moment. Extra cool that he then s
On a more personal note, I’ve been locked in on longevity lately. I recently visited our friends at MDVIP for a heart ultrasound. It was a seamless process, and while I’m still waiting on the blood markers to come back, I’m feeling good about taking a proactive approach to my health. Of course, that locked-in energy is always a battle with my inner “Dilly Daddy,” but we’re making progress.
Here’s what my heart looks like, btw. I know you didn’t ask, but this is why I’m incredibly excited that BroBible is working with MDVIP as we all get older around here.

On the topic of keeping your headspace right, if you’re exhausted by the endless doomscroll, you need to read my latest piece on David Begnaud. You probably recognize him as the former CBS News “disaster guy,” but he recently walked away from the anchor-desk fast-track to launch the Do Good Crew and a new podcast called The Person Who Believed in Me. He’s sitting down with heavy hitters like Oprah and 2 Chainz to talk about the everyday heroes who saved them before they were famous. It’s a highly intentional pivot to hack the internet’s rage algorithm and inject our feeds with some relentless humanity. You can read the full interview here.
OK, now let’s do a complete 180: I can finally share the details from the Taco Bell innovation event I attended last week. The highlight was definitely the Fire Queso Sauce Packet, which is actually an edible pizza roll-style snack filled with spicy queso. It’s the kind of stunty food innovation that keeps things interesting.
I was also doing some late-night Zillow browsing and stumbled upon the actual Fresh Prince of Bel-Air house. It’s currently listed for $29.5M, and fun fact: it’s actually located in Brentwood, not Bel-Air.
Finally, I just got back from seeing Umphrey’s McGee at the Regent Theatre, and man, what a night. I ended up meeting with Ryan Stasik, Joel, and their new drummer after the set to shoot the shit and talk some football. I always forget that Umphrey’s started as a Notre Dame band in South Bend. They played the whole show without Jake, but the energy was through the roof, especially closing out the encore with a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Wish.”
Let’s get into the things. Peace.
The 1985 Toyota Pickup SR5 (Marty McFly Edition)
Currently live on Bring a Trailer, we have a near-perfect replica of Marty McFly’s dream truck. This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a body-off refurbishment of a 1985 XtraCab SR5 that captures every detail from the film. It features the fuel-injected 2.4L 22R-E engine mated to a 5-speed manual and solid axles—a powertrain combo that was only offered for the US market in the ’85 model year. The exterior is finished in factory black with the iconic tubular bumpers, roll bar, and KC off-road lights that defined an era. As the ultimate kicker, the glovebox door is actually signed by Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
The winning bid was $70,000, making it the absolute ultimate machine for a Dilly Daddy to cruise the coast. “Check out that 4×4!”

History For Sale: The Jim Irsay Collection Christie’s Auction
As you saw here in THINGS WE WANT a few weeks ago, the “Louvre of American Cool” is officially being scattered, and the results from the first few days of the Christie’s auction are mind-blowing. This was easily the greatest collection of rock ‘n’ roll history ever assembled, and the world’s elite collectors showed up with heavy wallets.
- Jerry Garcia’s “Tiger”: The custom Doug Irwin-built masterpiece sold for an incredible $11,560,000. Derek Trucks actually got to play the legendary guitar at the Beacon Theatre tonight, promoting the win alongside some of the dudes from his Ass Pocket Whiskey brand. I had a blast talking to Derek about APW a while back. It’s seriously good juice, and the whole unpretentious philosophy behind the 200ml pocket bottles is exactly what the whiskey world needs right now.
- David Gilmour’s “Black Strat”: The guitar that defined Pink Floyd reclaimed its throne, shattering records with a $14.5 million hammer price.
- Kurt Cobain’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Mustang: The blue 1969 Fender Competition Mustang fetched $6.9 million, proving that grunge era artifacts are the new blue-chip investments.

Coffee Upgrade: AeroPress Steel
via AeroPress Steel
If you’re like me and you’ve spent years loving the AeroPress but secretly wishing it wasn’t made of plastic, the wait is over. The brand just released the AeroPress Steel, and it’s essentially the Ferrari of manual coffee brewers.
Crafted from double-wall, vacuum-insulated 304 stainless steel, it offers incredible thermal stability for a more consistent brew. It also ups the capacity to 12oz (a 20% increase over the original), making it perfect for a “Dilly Daddy” who needs a bit more fuel to get the day started. It’s rugged enough for life on the road but looks sleek enough to be a centerpiece on your counter.

The Vacation Vibe: Joseph Abboud Floral Camp Shirt
via Men's Wearhouse
I’m really into camp shirts this time of year. There’s something about the breezy construction and the classic collar that just screams “Dilly Daddy on a Friday.” I found this Joseph Abboud Modern Fit Floral Camp Shirt at Men’s Wearhouse, and at $39.99, it’s an absolute steal. I’m a little fatigued on expensive clothes right now, and I’m all-in on having as many shirts like this as possible in my closet for the warm weather.
It’s 100% cotton, which means it actually breathes when the LA sun starts hitting. Whether you’re firing up the grill or heading to a beachside dinner, it’s got that adventurous energy without losing its edge. Toss it on over some chinos and you’re good to go.

Real Estate Of The Week: The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Mansion
In the “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” category, the real house that introduced the world to the Fresh Prince is officially on the market for $29,500,000. Located at 251 N Bristol Ave in the heart of Brentwood Park (yes, it’s actually in Brentwood… not Bel-Air… lol), this Georgian Colonial estate is the actual facade seen in the opening credits and throughout the iconic Will Smith sitcom.
Built in 1937, the estate spans roughly 10,000 square feet on an extraordinary 38,510-square-foot corner lot. It features 6 beds and 8 baths, but more importantly, it holds a piece of television history. That video I embedded above is with the relator who grew up in that house, and is now selling it, so he has some added insight.
If you’ve got the $180k a month for the mortgage, you’ll be living in a global icon. Also… Please invite me over.

The Game Changer: Shark ChillPill™
Shark
Let’s be honest: nobody looks cool when they’re overheating. You know that feeling on the 11th fairway when the sun is aggressively nuking the grass and golf has officially stopped being a sport and started being a survival test?
The engineers at Shark® got tired of watching us suffer and invented the ChillPill™. It’s a pocket-sized 3-in-1 personal cooling system that belongs in every golf bag in America. It’s got a high-velocity bladeless fan, a “dry touch” mist that won’t leave you looking like a wet dog, and the InstaChill™ Cooling Plate—a cryo-inspired plate that drops your skin temp by 16°F on contact. Press it to your neck or wrists and literally feel your soul return to your body.

Mojo Energy Pouches
Mojo Energy Pouches
#Sponsored
These days here at BroBible, our caffeine source isn’t as straightforward as it used to be, with good coffee or energy drinks seemingly more expensive than ever. That’s why I was thrilled to find out about the new sensation of Mojo Energy Pouches.
When you hear the word “pouch,” you’re either a little confused or picturing that one friend of yours from college who was always packing a lip. All you need to know is that Mojo Energy Pouches might be the most convenient morning caffeine you’ve ever had.
- The source: Each pouch contains 50mg of caffeine naturally derived from green tea, B vitamins (B3, B6, B12), ginseng, yerba mate, and l-theanine with 0 sugar and 0 calories. No frills, no mystery ingredients…just pure, clean energy.
- The convenience: Just pop one pouch in your lip and let it sit for 20 minutes. When you’re done, just toss it!
- The flavors: There are five delicious flavors to choose from, including the new limited-edition Cinnamon Churro!
- The price: Each pouch comes out to about $0.37. Two pouches will give the same boost as a cup of coffee. When was the last time you paid as little as $0.74 for a cup of coffee?

The New Drop: Everlast “Stones”
I used to love listening Everlast on alt-rock radio as a teenager growing up in Central PA. He’s officially back. Erik Francis Schrody—Whitey Ford himself—just released “Stones,” his inaugural release with Thirty Tigers. Produced by Yelawolf, the track is a masterclass in the genre-bending style Everlast pioneered. It’s that perfect merger of hip-hop, rock, and folk that influenced everyone from Jelly Roll to the current wave of outlaw country-rap. If you want to hear what a legend sounds like when he’s still innovating, this is it.

Simply Spiked Bolder (12% ABV Mini Cans)
via Simply Spiked / Molson Coors
Festival season is right around the corner, and Simply Spiked just entered the 12% ABV space with something they’re calling “Bolder.”
It’s a 12% ABV Strawberry Lemonade served in 7.5oz mini cans. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about that much power in such a small package, but it’s definitely “big spiked lemonade energy” for tailgates or high-intensity social occasions. They’re available nationwide in single cans and 12-packs—just proceed with caution, because 12% in a mini can is no joke.

The Stunt Food: Taco Bell Fire Queso Packet
It’s essentially a pizza roll filled with spicy queso, branded as a sauce packet. It’s crispy, it’s spicy, and it’s the most “Taco Bell” thing I’ve seen in years.
And my video about it popped off completely on TikTok and Instagram (above).

The Truly Unhinged: Buffalo Wild Wings Espresso PROteini
Buffalo Wild Wings is dropping something called the Espresso PROteini for one weekend only (March 13–15). It’s an espresso martini packed with 10g of protein, infused with Buffalo Dry Rub, and rimmed with even more rub. You can get it as a $19.99 bundle with six boneless wings—because apparently, an olive just doesn’t cut it when you’re drinking buffalo-flavored coffee booze.
