Things We Want: Absolut x Tabasco Vodka, A $14 Million Boulder House, And The Ultimate RZR Desert Toy

Welcome back to another week of BroBible’s Things We Want.

It was a very busy week, though somewhat unintentionally. While most of you are dealing with the winter grind, I ended up “stuck” in Los Angeles, where it’s been a perfect 70 degrees and warm. I was supposed to be flying back to the East Coast for a family commitment, but the weather conditions changed plans. My flight was scrapped.

Since I was unexpectedly in town, I decided to lean into a very busy and productive work week for our goals here at BroBible. I hit an advertising conference on Tuesday and met all kinds of interesting people at the happy hour in media, technology, and advertising. One interesting tidbit: Hearing a talent agent speaking to the room who represents a stable of YouTube channels mention that an AI company is sponsoring one of his clients for a $700k annual deal. It’s a wild time to be in that space. I regret BroBible not going harder into YouTube over the years. It’s not too late, but video production is expensive and time-consuming, and our business’s immediate revenue needs have always led us to avoid it, especially when there isn’t an immediate revenue uptick.

The social streak continued the next night. I grabbed happy hour with some friends at Jamesons and ended up at a Meta Ray-Ban Grammy Week party, featuring Anderson .Paak DJing as his alter ego, DJ Pee Wee. I met the singer-songwriter Maggie Rose and asked her about her collaborations with the late Bob Weir. She gave an incredibly gracious answer. Here’s the video on Instagram:

• FOLLOW the BROBIBLE THINGS WE WANT INSTAGRAM
• SUBSCRIBE to the THINGS WE WANT email newsletter
• FOLLOW me on Instagram
• SUBSCRIBE to my Substack, where I write about BroBible and the digital media business behind the scenes. This week, however, I wrote about Hunter S. Thompson.

REMINDER: You can always email me at brandon@brobible.com. I’d love to know what you think I should share here.

What I’m listening to: I’m still processing that conversation with Maggie Rose. Her ability to blend soul and rock is incredible. I’ve been diving back into her collaborations with Bob Weir, but you have to check out her EP, Cocoon, from October 2025. It’s wonderful. Stream it here on your platform of choice.

What I’m reading: Not going to lie, I’ve been heads down in emails and marketing stuff all week. Mostly tracking the fallout from that $700k AI creator deal news. It feels like we’re in the middle of a massive shift where AI isn’t just a tool, but the primary bankroll for the next generation of media companies. I’m not sure how I feel about it. The Internet these days feels about as fun as shopping for your own casket at the funeral home.

What I’m watching: I finally saw Sinners on HBO Max. Give it all the awards. The music is incredible, plus I love that it’s basically a retelling of the Robert Johnson “make a deal with the devil” folklore about how blues music became so popular, leading to rock ‘n roll and all that. I listened to as many versions of “Crossroads” as I could afterwards, including the epic Eric Clapton version.

Anyway, let’s get into it. THINGS WE WANT. Let’s go, go, go!

1. The Beast: Polaris RZR Pro R Ultra Edition

I yearn for expensive desert toys in the same way I yearn for a boat. Some day, Brandon… Some day. Polaris just dropped the industry’s first factory-integrated active sway bar links, and it’s basically engineered to rip around and explore the Mojave. Developed with SDi, this “DYNAMIX DVS” system adjusts the sway bars up to 200 times per second, giving you maximum articulation for rock crawling and instant stability for high-speed desert runs.

It’s the same tech that just won the Baja 1000 and the 2025 SCORE Series Championship. Beyond the racing pedigree, they’ve loaded it with “creature comforts” like heated and vented seats, a 1500-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system, and a massive 10.4-inch touchscreen. Only 500 of these are being made globally. If you want to dominate the dunes, this is the one.

Price: Starting at $46,999

2. The Partner: Samuel Adams Cherry Bomb

A quick “meta” moment for the readers: one of the reasons I restarted Things We Want was to give some extra love to the brands that actually support us with their advertising dollars. Every beer PR person in the world seems to email us asking for free promotion. That’s fine, but… honestly, a new product is rarely actually “news”—it’s asking for free advertising. You want your product on BroBible in a way that lots of people are going to see it? SUPPORT US. We have bills to pay, you know?

But, we are STOKED to have a new beer partner in Samuel Adams for the launch of their new Cherry Bomb. This thing is already blowing up on social with tens of thousands of shares, and for good reason. It’s a 9% ABV Imperial Wheat Ale, but the crazy part is that you’d never know it from the taste. It uses real black cherry juice and honey to stay crisp and juicy rather than heavy. I finally get to try it next week, and after seeing the hype, I can’t wait. I’m biased, of course, but I know this thing is going to be a huge hit because Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is delicious.

3. The Dream House: Jeremy Bloom’s $14M Boulder, Colorado Cliffside Home

If you want to see what happens when “Olympic Skier and NFL Player” money meets “Private Equity B2B Marketing CEO” success, look no further than Jeremy Bloom’s personal residence in Boulder. This house showed up on my Instagram feed this week and, frankly, I can’t stop thinking about how incredible it is.

I just interviewed Jeremy this past fall about the massive X Games rebrand and his new role as the CEO of X Games, and it’s clear he’s bringing that same “Northern Star” intensity to everything he touches. Built right into the Flatiron cliffs, this 2.5-acre estate is an architectural masterclass.

The house features massive expanses of glass overlooking the city of Boulder, an sleek infinity pool that seems to drop off the edge of the world, and unique cement-and-solar construction that is both energy-efficient and visually striking. It’s been making the rounds on social media this week as it hit the market for a cool $14 million. It’s basically the ultimate “boss level” home for anyone who loves the mountains as much as they love luxury.

My only complaint is that it’s in Boulder, and I’d prefer it to be in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen. But I think I could get over that if I had $14 million to spare…

5. The Kicks: Nike Sabrina 3 “Grateful Ducks”

Be still, my heart!!! If you missed out on the Oregon x Nike capsule this past fall, you know how fast this stuff disappears. Nike is keeping the “Grateful Ducks” momentum going with a trippy take on Sabrina Ionescu’s third signature shoe.

Debuted during the Oregon vs. UCLA game as a nod to the late, great Bill Walton, these feature tie-dye graphics on the toe and heel, a “Grateful Ducks” logo on the tongue, and a fuzzy green material on the Swoosh that looks incredible. The real “easter egg” is the “Dancing Ducks” printed underfoot on the outsole. There’s no official release date yet, but keep your eyes peeled; these will be gone in seconds.

Price: TBD

6. The Watch: Citizen x Honda Ana-Digi Temp “2026 Prelude”

I saw this on X, and I can’t stop thinking about it. This is pure retro-futurism. To celebrate the return of the Honda Prelude, Citizen has updated its iconic Ana-Digi Temp with a design that channels the 2026 hybrid coupe’s racing DNA.

It’s a compact, 40.6mm stainless steel block that feels like a dashboard for your wrist, featuring dual analog “gauges,” a digital display, and a built-in thermometer for monitoring ambient temps on road trips. It’s got that perfect 80s/90s “gadget watch” energy but with a modern silver-and-black finish and the “New Prelude” logo on the case back. A total steal for a limited collab that looks this gnarly.

Price: ~$539… I think?

7. The Pour: Absolut x Tabasco Vodka

I mostly stick to Tapatio these days, but seeing this collab reminded me how much I love Tabasco sauce. Forget everything you know about “spicy” vodkas that just taste like chemicals. Absolut has teamed up with the legends at Tabasco for a collaboration that actually uses the real deal. Instead of just mixing sauce into vodka, they’ve infused the spirit with a natural essence created from the same fermented, aged red pepper mash used to make the actual hot sauce.

The result is a savory, sugar-free vodka that packs a legitimate kick and tastes exactly like the barrel-aged peppers it came from. It’s the ultimate shortcut to a world-class Bloody Mary, but it’s clean enough to spice up a Dirty Martini too. After a disastrous George Dickel x Tabasco whiskey a few years back, this is the redemption arc we’ve been waiting for.

Price: $25

8. The Deal: Tecovas “The Rugged Moc”

I dream of having the closet space to throw more boots in there, and if you’ve got the room, this deal is a no-brainer. Tecovas has their “Rugged Moc” on sale right now for just $99. That is a massive steal for a Goodyear welted boot that originally retailed for $225.

This isn’t just a fashion boot; it’s built with water-resistant cowhide, a “MuckOFF” tread that repels debris, and their TEC insole system for out-of-the-box comfort. It’s the perfect middle ground between a heavy-duty work boot and something handsome enough to wear out on the town. These are “Last Call” items, so sizes are flying. If you need a leather upgrade for under a hundred bucks, move fast.

Price: $99 (Down from $225!!!)

9. The Ride: 2027 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition

If you’re a sucker for “Swinging London” vibes, this is your new dream ride. Triumph just amped up the attitude of the Speed Twin 1200 RS with this limited-run Cafe Racer Edition. It’s a stunning nod to the 60s, featuring clip-on bars for an aggressive, tucked posture and a Competition Green and Aluminum Silver paint job that looks like it belongs at the Ace Cafe.

It’s not just for show, either. Underneath the retro silhouette is a 1,200cc engine pumping out 103.5 horsepower, Brembo Stylema brakes, and fully adjustable Öhlins rear suspension. You also get 21st-century tech like Optimized Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and a color TFT screen. Limited to just 800 units worldwide, it hits dealerships this March.

Price: $18,895

10. The Rig: 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor

Ford is officially “Tremor-izing” everything, and the Explorer is the latest to get the off-road treatment. This features a 1-inch suspension lift, steel skid plates protecting the engine and fuel tank, and a re-shaped front bumper for better approach angles.

Under the hood, you can opt for the 400-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, which turns this three-row family hauler into a desert-blasting sleeper that hits 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It rocks “Orange Spice” accents and 18-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires. While it won’t out-crawl a Bronco (I’m pretty sure my next set of wheels will definitely have more ground clearance than what I currently get in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which this seems comparable), it’s the perfect rig for the person who needs to haul seven people during the week and escape to Chloride Cliffs on the weekend.

Price: Starting at $50,160

11. The Kit: Traverse Hydration Pack

If you’re planning on going long—we’re talking ultramarathons or high-output mountain adventures—the Traverse is the vest you want. It offers a massive 20-liter capacity while maintaining a low-profile, race-ready design that wraps around your body for a bounce-free fit.

It features the updated MaxO2 adjustable sternum system, dual bottle pockets with secure compression stitching, and an externally accessible, insulated reservoir sleeve for quick refills. It’s even pole-quiver compatible on both sides. Available in five sizes to ensure you get a dialed-in fit, this is the ultimate blend of storage and high-performance racing gear.

12. Facebook Marketplace Find of the Week: 1985 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet

Since I’m stuck in Los Angeles and the weather is a perfect 70 degrees, I’ve been doing some dangerous scrolling on Facebook Marketplace. I found the absolute perfect companion for a PCH cruise: a 1985 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet listed for $69,000. A car from my birth year, LFG!

Finished in classic Ferrari Red with a tan leather interior, this thing is pure 80s automotive royalty. It’s only got 30,531 miles on the clock and is fully documented. While the Mondial was once the “underrated” Ferrari, seeing it perched on the cliffs in Montebello makes me wish I had an extra $70k and a lot more garage space. It’s the ultimate “unintentional LA” flex, even if you have to park it on the street.

Price: $69,000
