Sergio (2:43)

I got scared.

Daniel Tosh (2:47)

Posh show. Posh show. Posh show for show. Welcome to Tosh Show. Eddie, how are you?

Daniel's Son (2:58)

I'm doing good.

Daniel Tosh (2:59)

My son's here. Hit him with a hooty hoo. Woo. He's not here. We just recorded that. Whenever I'm out in a crowded area, I'll just say to my son, just real quiet, I'll just whisper to him, I'll say, hey, hit him with a hootie hoo. And he'll just scream, hooty hoo. It just makes me laugh. Usually makes people laugh around us. So now I'm gonna do it on the show. I'm gonna start using it. Hit him again. Oh, guess what.

Daniel's Son (3:25)

What?

Daniel Tosh (3:27)

I was going to the bathroom the other day. Okay, okay. This is not a poop story, so calm down. I was going to the bathroom and I found a tick crawling around on my waistline. Yeah, A real tick. And I'm like, it hadn't burrowed in. Now, I noticed a few weeks ago, I went on a little rant about Lyme disease and how they have to be in you for 36 hours. And people told me I was way off. Those ticks, those deer ticks can be so tiny that you don't even notice that they're on you. You don't feel it or anything like that. They're like a speck. This tick is what I'm familiar with, which is basically a dog tick. And they don't. I looked it up. They don't carry Lyme disease, but they. If they bite you and start going in, you're going to feel it. Okay. That's when you take a match head and touch them on the butt and make them back up. I don't know how it works. Anyway, I had a tick crawling around on me. That's Carl's fault. I think they live on the. I got a lot of rabbits on the property. They carry a lot of ticks is what I'm told. Oh, well, Is that a pig thing? No, I don't think it's a pig thing. I mean, it could be. Listen, I'm living on a farm.

Daniel's Son (4:40)

Yeah, you got a farm going on over there?

Daniel Tosh (4:42)

Yeah. Guess what?

Daniel's Son (4:44)

What?

Daniel Tosh (4:44)

I'm going to start working out. I think. I think I am. Okay, well, here's. I know people look at me. And they say, that guy, what, he doesn't need to work out. His body looks perfect.

Daniel's Son (4:58)

Handsome.

Daniel Tosh (4:59)

Well, just chiseled.

Daniel's Son (5:00)

Chiseled.

Daniel Tosh (5:01)

But here's the problem. I've been driving recently, and I've been feeling my stomach in, tits, shaking in the car. You ever ride on a road that's got, like a bump every few seconds, and then all of a sudden you're just like. You're just like, oh, I'm just jiggling while I'm driving. This is making me feel really like. It's making me feel bad about myself. Everything's a little loose. Yeah, I was just like. I'm not talking about rumble strips. I'm talking just natural, uneven pavement that's making me shake while I'm driving. And I'm. And I'm grossed out by myself. I'm like, I gotta tighten this all up. So I'm gonna give it a shot. What are you gonna do? Right now? I'm gonna try to just eat less and play more. Like, a lot of times when I play with my kids, I kind of facilitate the games. And I think now I'm gonna get myself more involved. I'm going to physically get involved. Normally, if they're, like, kicking a ball, you know, I don't really hustle. I think I'm going to start hustling and see if I can stop my tits and stomach from shaking while I'm driving over a bridge. A bridge is where you get those seams in the road and you're just like, oh. And when you feel it, you're like, oh, that's not that. That's new. I don't like it. Speaking of dad bods, my buddy's on the show today. My favorite Spaniard. This. Let me tell you something about today's guest. This guy has been in my life for eight years, but, like, every day for eight years. And my wife hated it. She was. She couldn't stand how much I.

Daniel Tosh (10:19)

My guest today has built my home in Malibu twice because the first one burned down. He's a surfer, a builder, an architect, and my favorite Spanish person not yet to be deported. Please welcome Sergio. Hola. Como esta?

Sergio (10:34)

Muy bien.

Daniel Tosh (10:37)

No? Do you believe in ghosts?

Sergio (10:40)

I do, actually.

Daniel Tosh (10:41)

I know, yeah. You're from Spain.

Sergio (10:45)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (10:46)

The beautiful village of. Where are you from? Malga. What is it?

Sergio (10:49)

I was born in Malaga.

Daniel Tosh (10:50)

Malaga, that's.

Sergio (10:51)

That's where we were born. Because my. My hometown, it was too small back in the days to have a hospital or anything like that. So we were rushed to the main city, which was Malaga. And then after, you know, a couple of days, they take you to your village, you know, and that was Marbella. Marbella is a beautiful town.

Daniel Tosh (11:10)

Marea.

Sergio (11:10)

Marbella. Between. I actually live in another town to Estepona. Marbella. They're like 10 minutes away, you know.

Daniel Tosh (11:16)

How close to the coast is that?

Sergio (11:17)

That's right there. Like, I was raised right on the beach in the Mediterranean.

Daniel Tosh (11:21)

And you could wave to the people in Africa.

Sergio (11:23)

Yes, I could see Africa from my house. Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (11:27)

Now you are a builder. Like a manly builder.

Sergio (11:30)

Yes. Real.

Daniel Tosh (11:31)

A real builder. But you're also an architect.

Sergio (11:34)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (11:34)

How did you get into this? Because your father, who passed away a few years ago, a wonderful man, who was the butcher?

Sergio (11:41)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (11:41)

In your hometown?

Sergio (11:42)

Yeah, my family, we were butchers for. I mean, since 18 something, you know. Like, my great, great grandmother was already a butcher.

Daniel Tosh (11:52)

She was a butcher.

Sergio (11:53)

She was the butcher of the town. Like the butcher of the town. All the generations up to me, I was raised in the butcher, you know, cutting meat when I was a kid.

Daniel Tosh (12:02)

And when you're in the family of a butcher, you. You're kind of royalty in the town.

Sergio (12:07)

Yeah. I mean, you have the expensive stuff.

Daniel Tosh (12:09)

You know, but every place that you went, they. They, like treated you guys with respect. Your family, because you.

Sergio (12:14)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (12:14)

The restaurants, they would take care of you.

Sergio (12:16)

Yeah. I mean, Marbella end up being like the Beverly Hills of Europe, like, super expensive.

Daniel Tosh (12:22)

Didn't know that.

Sergio (12:22)

All the celebrities will go over there. And my father specifically, at that time of the butcher, when it became really fancy, all the town. We served the meat to people from Onassis to the Kennedys, to the young Borg. You like tennis? So the youngborg Wedding. I remember as a kid taking the meat for his wedding.

Daniel Tosh (12:46)

Did Nadal ever get to taste your.

Sergio (12:48)

I'm 100% sure. So that was. That was where I was raised, you know? And then all of a sudden, I told my father that I wanted to be an architect. Really early on. I was 8 years old.

Daniel Tosh (12:57)

Was he upset or was he like, no, this is good.

Sergio (13:00)

No, he was happy. The only thing it was kind of interesting story here because I got my eye. I hit my eye with a rock playing with my friends. No, accidentally sounds like a hate crime. So I had a bleeding in my eye. So they had to take me to a hospital right away. And they actually flew me to Barcelona to the Barraquer eye doctor, which was one of the best still is for eye doctors in Europe, because I was losing my vision. I remember that night I arrived there, and my mother is holding me. I was like six years old, seven years old, you know? And my mother was explaining to me the building, and my eyes were closed. I cover everything. And my mother was explaining me these spiral stairs and things like that. And I say to my mother at that moment that I wanted to be a builder. I mean, an architect.

Daniel Tosh (13:48)

Not if you're gonna go blind.

Sergio (13:50)

And my mother was like, oh, yeah, sure. But end up being the barracker. Fixed my eyes and I went all over the world studying architecture. Study architecture in Seville.

Daniel Tosh (13:59)

You went to a fancy school here in Los Angeles, too, right?

Sergio (14:01)

Yeah, at Sci Arc.

Daniel Tosh (14:02)

How many tests do you have to do to become an architect?

Sergio (14:04)

I took 10 tests.

Daniel Tosh (14:05)

You took 10?

Sergio (14:06)

Yeah. I don't know.

Daniel Tosh (14:07)

How many times did you fail them?

Sergio (14:09)

I never failed it.

Daniel Tosh (14:09)

You never failed a single test?

Sergio (14:11)

No, never.

Daniel Tosh (14:11)

And yet I know tons of people that take these tests. They can't pass a single one.

Sergio (14:16)

Yeah, I did it all in one shot.

Daniel Tosh (14:19)

Now, I interviewed a handful of architects and then a handful of builders. And you won because you're like, hey, I just want to surf every day with you.

Sergio (14:32)

That was the main reason everything started, because you wanted to live right next to the job site.

Daniel Tosh (14:37)

That's your nightmare, right?

Sergio (14:38)

Yeah. This is the worst nightmare for a build, for a builder is to have.

Daniel Tosh (14:42)

Their client live on the job site.

Sergio (14:44)

That's like a. No, no.

Daniel Tosh (14:45)

You have to understand that Sergio and I, every day. I would spend all day with him, like, for years.

Sergio (14:53)

For years.

Daniel Tosh (14:54)

Just, you know, and we would.

Sergio (14:57)

Daniel, like, I would be working in the job site. I had a busy morning. Always. No, like, with the guys. There's probably like, 20, 30 guys working in the house. And Daniel is like, at 9am he's, like, testing me. When are we going surfing? You know.

Daniel Tosh (15:10)

Oh, well, those are good days when I'm in a good mood. It's better. Better surfing than when I'm angry about stuff.

Sergio (15:15)

And then I like, I can't go. Yeah, I need. I have a meeting. You know, I have this and that. And then Daniel will come up, you know, with like, barefoots in the job site, you know, come on, get your shoes on. You know.

Daniel Tosh (15:26)

Well, we go surf for an hour or two now. Do you think that affected how long it took you to build my house?

Sergio (15:31)

Obviously, you know, I mean, we're surfing.

Daniel Tosh (15:33)

How come you can't actually predict how long projects will take?

Sergio (15:37)

It's very complicated. There is too many things. Especially, you know, we. The kind of work we do is not usually people do in construction. We are in the company. We are like six, seven architects, and we each kind of take a project on and we are like, very focused on the design, on the detailing. So we go back and forth trying to get the idea of the project, you know, all resolved very nicely. And it's not. There is no shortcuts, you know, as you know. I mean, your house is a masterpiece of, like, detailing.

Daniel Tosh (16:10)

No, that's not. I mean, a lot of times the project manager on a build site doesn't have the experience that you have. Yeah, I mean, that's fair, right?

Sergio (16:19)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (16:19)

I mean, when I was interviewing these guys, a lot of the project managers were a little too. I don't know what the word is. Like a redneck. A little too rough.

Sergio (16:28)

Yeah, yeah. Real birdlers. Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (16:29)

Well, I don't know. It was like you just. And then you are surfer. When did you start surfing?

Sergio (16:35)

I was 13 years old in Portugal. First thing I got in the world.

Daniel Tosh (16:40)

But you're more of a. Just so people know, you're not a traditional shortboarder. You're. You're old school. You longboard. You like to ride first point in Malibu. You like to hang 10. You like to just pose. You do your thing. Yeah, we used to surf constantly. And then since you finished my job, I would argue that you have quit surfing, kind of.

Sergio (17:01)

But it's going to be temporary. It's going to be temporary. I'm building my house now, too, so I'm like, super busy.

Daniel Tosh (17:07)

You're building your house, by the way, he's building his house in an area in the mountains. It's beautiful. It's like there's not a lot built around there. But the reason that you pick this lot Was one day we were at the Old Place restaurant. Just coincidentally, at the same time, my wife and I. You were eating with your family there, and then my wife, you. What did my wife say to you?

Sergio (17:32)

So I don't know if everybody knows the Old Place. It's really tiny, beautiful, western kind of building. No? And really loud inside. And I'm talking to Carly, your wife, and you're talking to Lorena, my wife.

Daniel Tosh (17:46)

That's the way I like it.

Sergio (17:48)

And Carly, you know, in the middle of all these sounds, she tells me, you should find a place to live around here, you know? You know, like in the movies, they do these. That they isolate the sound, you know, and they. All you listening is that very clearly in your ears, you know? And it came right into my brain, like, you know, she's right. This is where I should be living, you know. So after we have lunch in there and all that, we were leaving. And instead of making a ride towards the freeway to go back to Santa Monica, I told my wife, said, you know, why don't we make a left and see the neighborhood here? And we go make a left. One block away, there's a sign for sale of an empty lot. That was on a Sunday, and on Friday I owned the lot.

Daniel Tosh (18:38)

Yep. You see that, you guys? My wife manipulated another man.

Sergio (18:43)

Another man, Absolutely.

Daniel Tosh (18:45)

I should bring this up real quick. Your wife way too attractive for you.

Sergio (18:51)

Agree 100%.

Daniel Tosh (18:53)

Ah, it's almost confusing now. She's. Is she half Mexican, half Chinese?

Sergio (18:59)

Yes. Yes. Oh, she's gorgeous.

Daniel Tosh (19:02)

She's a beautiful woman. Oh, does she ever say things to you like, hey, Sergio, why don't you.

Sergio (19:07)

Maybe you need tune it up a little bit? No.

Daniel Tosh (19:09)

Does she ever say, tune it up a little bit? Sure she does.

Sergio (19:12)

Yeah. And I have to keep up, you know.

Daniel Tosh (19:14)

Okay.

Sergio (19:15)

It's. It's one of the difficult when there is such a difference in beauty. Let's say, you know, you gotta keep it up, you know?

Daniel Tosh (19:23)

Well, and. But you. Are you keeping it up? You don't look as you. For a while there, you were looking like a sea lion. But now you're starting to get back into shape a little bit. Yeah, but you're not doing anything to get in shape, are you? No, no, of course not. Your brother, is he older or younger?

Sergio (19:41)

He's a year and a half older.

Daniel Tosh (19:43)

He's older than you, but yet looks 10 years younger than you. And he's just sexy. And he just lives in Spain and just. All the women love him.

Sergio (19:51)

He's dangerously sexy. Like, I cannot introduce like to a happy couple. Like I'd be scared to like introduce you with your wife. You know, you have a beautiful relationship.

Daniel Tosh (20:03)

Do you think you would take my wife?

Sergio (20:05)

I think so. But the problem, it will be your wife that's the problem.

Daniel Tosh (20:08)

Uh huh.

Sergio (20:09)

They all questions like what I'm doing, you know, that I cannot take advantage of Mediterranean lover.

Daniel Tosh (20:14)

You want to talk about a time my wife was infuriated with you? You might not remember. First of all, you once walked in on my wife changing. Do you remember that?

Sergio (20:22)

Really?

Daniel Tosh (20:23)

You saw her completely naked? Yeah, she remembers that.

Sergio (20:26)

That happens, you know, when you're building a house and you're there all the time.

Daniel Tosh (20:30)

You know, okay, this was a meeting that we had. The house was complete. But you know, there was things that we were going over, a punch list. So one time we're in our bathroom, we're having a meeting in our bathroom. Now you have to understand, our bathroom is not small. And there's a separate door for the water closet for the toilet. We're having a meeting in there, Me, you, and like four or five other men. And we're going over the punch list. And then about 10 minutes into the meeting, she finally just gives up and she comes out of the toilet. She'd been in there the whole time and we were in there having to meet and she was so embarrassed and so. And I got in so much trouble.

Sergio (21:11)

I can't remember that too.

Daniel Tosh (21:13)

Yeah, I was like, well, we all know what you were doing in there. And she's like, well, I was, she was like. She was contemplating staying, but she knew this meeting was probably gonna go an hour. She's like. So she just walked out and she's like, you caught me.

Sergio (21:26)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (21:27)

Oh, that. She was furious about that. She also.

Sergio (21:30)

Those things happen.

Daniel Tosh (21:31)

Do you remember when she fell in the septic tank?

Sergio (21:33)

Of course I remember that day.

Daniel Tosh (21:34)

She fell into the septic tank.

Sergio (21:36)

Because you know, the whole complexity of like we had the pool in one house next to the construction site. You were living in that guest house. So we were in the pool and.

Daniel Tosh (21:46)

We weren't in the pool. We were talking up by the pool.

Sergio (21:48)

Yeah, you and I were in the Jacuzzi.

Daniel Tosh (21:50)

We were in the Jacuzzi.

Sergio (21:51)

Yeah, we were in the Jacuzzi, talking, you know, about surfing, whatever. And. And your wife decided to go to the guest house.

Daniel Tosh (21:58)

Uhhuh.

Sergio (21:59)

And she just walk out, go to the guest house.

Daniel Tosh (22:02)

The lid on the septic tank wasn't.

Sergio (22:05)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (22:05)

But it slipped out from underneath her and she felt now ran out. This was A brand new septic tank that was clean and empty. But she fell up to like this and was holding herself. She was. And she was screaming for Sergio and Daniel to come help her.

Sergio (22:19)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (22:19)

Because she didn't have the strength to get out. We're in the Jacuzzi, there's bubbles. We don't hear anything.

Sergio (22:23)

No, no.

Daniel Tosh (22:24)

And 15, 20 minutes later, she comes walking up all disheveled and. And says, I fell into the septic tank. She's crying.

Sergio (22:32)

No way.

Daniel Tosh (22:33)

And she storms away from us. She was so mad.

Sergio (22:35)

Let you guys, you know.

Daniel Tosh (22:36)

And then I found out a few weeks later that she was. She was pregnant and that I think that's what did it.

Sergio (22:43)

Getting sometimes a little shocked by that helps, you know.

Daniel Tosh (22:46)

Do you remember the time that you came back to the office and I had filled your trailer with. With gay pornography?

Sergio (22:54)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (22:55)

Just so. So you come back to your office on a Monday morning and there's nothing but gay pornography.

Sergio (23:01)

Yep. All throughout your, like all those posters, you know.

Daniel Tosh (23:04)

You still have those posters?

Sergio (23:05)

No, no, it was. It was very strange because I was actually leaving to Spain that day, I think, like, I was leaving early that day. I had another guy taking my place, you know, while I was going to Spain. And so the other guy is like, what's going on in here?

Daniel Tosh (23:23)

You say, this is how I like it.

Sergio (23:24)

Yeah. Well, if you feel uncomfortable, just take it down, you know.

Daniel Tosh (23:29)

Oh, so you left it for him?

Sergio (23:30)

Of course.

Daniel Tosh (23:31)

That's nice. You remember that one time. These are like the little things I would do. What do we always say to keep it clean? The work site clean?

Sergio (23:39)

Total Olympio. Total Olympio.

Daniel Tosh (23:41)

Total Olympia.

Sergio (23:42)

That's all that's in my head forever now.

Daniel Tosh (23:44)

I just would scream, total Olympia.

Sergio (23:45)

Total Olympio. Total Olympio. Total Olympio.

Daniel Tosh (23:47)

Yes. I like to work site clean, but sometimes what I would do, I did this bit one time. I took a band aid, a used band aid of mine, and I had placed it somewhere on the floor in the work site. And then a moment or two later I went and got Sergio. And then we're walking around and then I'm like, sergio, look, there's like a band aid on the ground. And I picked it up and. And I ate it.

Sergio (24:08)

Yes, I remember that. And that was so weird.

Daniel Tosh (24:10)

And you were like, freaking out.

Sergio (24:11)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (24:12)

You're like, dog, dude. Oh, God. I'm like, if you're not going to clean up, I'm going to eat these things.

Sergio (24:15)

Yeah. And he ate it.

Daniel Tosh (24:18)

Well, yes, but it was my band aid, so Still a band Aid.

Sergio (24:21)

I was like, oh, God, these guys.

Daniel Tosh (24:24)

Those are just the silly things we did. Now, everyone who stayed behind during the Wley fire saved their house. I couldn't because I was in Vegas doing a charity show. What was your excuse for not saving my house?

Sergio (24:36)

I got scared.

Daniel Tosh (24:40)

I was.

Sergio (24:41)

Yeah, I remember that. It was like, okay, the fire started. You were in Las Vegas and whatever. I came. Next day, the fire was coming closer. Everybody was leaving Malibu. There were a line under PCH going towards Santa Monica. Like, literally, like.

Daniel Tosh (24:57)

Yeah.

Sergio (24:58)

And I was driving the other way towards your house.

Daniel Tosh (25:00)

You know, do you think if we would have stayed there, you and I, we could have stopped it?

Sergio (25:04)

I think so. I needed you there with me.

Daniel Tosh (25:07)

Yeah, I should have. I. Listen, I was doing God's work. But you just started the very next day cleaning up. I've got photos of you in a Hazmat suit.

Sergio (25:16)

Just.

Daniel Tosh (25:16)

Just the next day. We didn't even wait for. For permits. And they. By time we had cleaned up, they were like, hey, do you guys have a permit to clean this up? And we're like, we're done.

Sergio (25:26)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (25:27)

Most of the workers that build your homes are Mexican.

Sergio (25:32)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (25:33)

Do they treat you differently because you're from Spain, or.

Sergio (25:37)

No, I have the best relationship with the workers. Best relationship. I always take care of them a lot. I take it very serious.

Daniel Tosh (25:47)

I love them. Well, so many of these guys that I got to meet now, I see them on other job sites.

Sergio (25:55)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (25:55)

So I just yell at them, you know, whenever I see them, and we have a good time. The concrete guys, they're intense.

Sergio (26:00)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (26:01)

Oh, I love those guys. The framing people. I don't care much about framing guys. Concrete framing people, they always just make mistakes. You build houses, and then you're just like. People are like, oh, yeah, yeah, we know that's wrong. We'll fix that later. Oh, Jesus. How many times have you been mad and we've been in screaming fights, you.

Sergio (26:18)

Know, we had our things, but we probably. It's such an intimate relationship. I mean, I'm building in your house, you know, inside, where you basically are.

Daniel Tosh (26:27)

All the time where I'm pooping or.

Sergio (26:29)

You'Re pooping and you.

Daniel Tosh (26:30)

Have you ever seen me poop outside?

Sergio (26:31)

You have so many problems.

Daniel Tosh (26:35)

Yeah.

Sergio (26:36)

Do the people know this? Like, he has this. He can panic if he doesn't have a toilet, clothes, you know, but many times we are, like, getting ready to go surfing, you know, and I put my sweatsuit on, everything. I'm ready to go in the golf cart. And then we're like, okay, we're gonna go. And then all of a sudden, it's like Daniel turns pale, you know. Sorry, I gotta go. I gotta go. And then he just ran to the toilet, you know?

Daniel Tosh (27:02)

Yeah.

Sergio (27:03)

And I'm waiting. I'm waiting for him. And then finally he comes back, like, because he gets scared. Like, we're gonna go for two hours far away from the toilet, you know?

Daniel Tosh (27:11)

No, the ocean is a huge toilet for me. One time we went surfing. You cut your foot like a. You know, whatever.

Sergio (27:19)

Two inches.

Daniel Tosh (27:20)

No, it was not a big cut.

Sergio (27:22)

Or he had a. Oh, my God.

Daniel Tosh (27:24)

It doesn't matter.

Sergio (27:25)

Half of us, what's it.

Daniel Tosh (27:27)

It's because you don't ever lose. You don't scrub your feet. You have too much dead skin down there. Anyway, it was a big cut. Fine, I'll let you have that. But what I'm not going to let you have is the rest of the story. You weren't feeling well, and you're like, can I. And I said, I'll just give you two Tylenol. Two extra Strength Tylenol. That's it. Nothing fancy. He starts.

Sergio (27:49)

He tried to kill me.

Daniel Tosh (27:51)

He starts freaking out. He goes, what?

Sergio (27:53)

What?

Daniel Tosh (27:53)

What did you give me? And I said, oh, two Tylenol. And he goes, let me see. Let me see the box. And I give him the box, and it says extra strength on it. And he goes, it says, extra strength. I don't take drugs. I don't take drugs. And. And he starts gagging himself. He starts gagging himself like he had taken some poison to make himself vomit to get the pills up, which he eventually did.

Daniel's Son (28:17)

Oh, my God.

Sergio (28:17)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (28:18)

He had never taken Tylenol before, which doesn't do anything anyway.

Sergio (28:22)

Yeah, I don't take those things, you know. But you gave me two. It was an overdose. But that's what you did.

Daniel Tosh (28:30)

Before you met me, had you ever heard of me before?

Sergio (28:34)

No. Well, that doesn't mean anything. I don't watch the tv, too.

Daniel Tosh (28:38)

No, it doesn't have anything. It's just very insulting.

Sergio (28:41)

No, well, it's not. I don't know anything.

Daniel Tosh (28:44)

Have you ever seen one of my shows?

Sergio (28:46)

Little bit. Yeah. Not really.

Daniel Tosh (28:49)

It's not your cup of tea. We hang out for seven or eight years. He's like, I'm not going to watch you. You're awful.

Sergio (28:56)

I think you're very, very funny. I laugh with you so much.

Daniel Tosh (29:00)

Where would you rank? My house and the projects that you've done?

Sergio (29:03)

I think it's the best, you know, it's the best I ever done.

Daniel Tosh (29:06)

Well, that's nice to hear, I guess.

Sergio (29:07)

Because I had to do it two times. So the second time.

Daniel Tosh (29:09)

Well, you had to do the main house twice, but we didn't.

Sergio (29:13)

But, but the way it's detailed, very good architecture, you know.

Daniel Tosh (29:17)

And you modeled your home after my, My guest house.

Sergio (29:21)

Many, yes, many ideas, I have to say, you know, I, I have the, the privilege of working with the best architects and the best clients too, that they, they, they, they care about design.

Daniel Tosh (29:33)

So you just steal their ideas.

Sergio (29:35)

Little bit, you know.

Daniel Tosh (29:36)

Okay, that's.

Sergio (29:36)

We all do that.

Daniel Tosh (29:37)

Okay. And then, and also speaking of stealing, how many things on your project right now for your home that you're building were actually at one point ordered for my house?

Sergio (29:48)

They're going to take me to jail now.

Daniel Tosh (29:50)

No, no, no. I'm the one that would have to say that there's a problem. I would be like, no, no, I didn't, I didn't need that. But then all of a sudden I see it. I go to your place and look at stuff and I go, hey, that looks familiar.

Sergio (30:00)

Yeah, you're gonna see a lot coming.

Daniel Tosh (30:04)

Sometimes my tile, my concrete tiles, you're like, you need to order more. And I'm like, are you sure that doesn't seem like that. And you say, no, no, you need more.

Sergio (30:13)

And then I measure how much I.

Daniel Tosh (30:15)

Need and then I, and then sure enough, what? One of your bathrooms is gonna have my same tile.

Sergio (30:20)

I'm gonna put for. I have many tiles from you, but I have for your kitchen tile, those cement tiles that are so gorgeous. That's gonna go for sure. In my adu. I'm gonna make a wall out. Yeah. On my kitchen there.

Daniel Tosh (30:34)

I like that.

Sergio (30:34)

And it's gonna be amazing. And I have some more leftovers that I'm gonna see where I'm gonna put. I think I have other tiles that I, you know, I'm gonna use. In the main house, I saw a.

Daniel Tosh (30:44)

Door that took off.

Sergio (30:45)

Yeah, I have a whole door. My pedestrian door of the garage.

Daniel Tosh (30:48)

Right. And that makes sense that you used it on a garage where we had. It was in a powder room. And it made it look like it was at a detective office because it was like smoked powder. You hated it.

Sergio (30:57)

You hated it.

Daniel Tosh (30:57)

And I was like, Carly and I were like, not a fan.

Sergio (31:00)

I got toilets too.

Daniel Tosh (31:01)

And you got toilets for me.

Sergio (31:02)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (31:02)

Not the fancy one.

Sergio (31:03)

The fancy one.

Daniel Tosh (31:04)

You did get the fancy one.

Sergio (31:05)

Yeah, it's like a five thousand dollar toilet.

Daniel Tosh (31:08)

That's not my fancy one then.

Sergio (31:10)

No. Well, the real fancy one that came later.

Daniel Tosh (31:14)

Yes.

Sergio (31:14)

Well, I. I have the one that. You didn't like it. You didn't like it because it left.

Daniel Tosh (31:18)

Poop stains every time you went.

Sergio (31:20)

Yeah. You know, it's like, what are you.

Daniel Tosh (31:21)

Gonna do with that?

Sergio (31:22)

It's okay.

Daniel Tosh (31:23)

Oh, you know, your wife is gonna hate you for that one.

Sergio (31:26)

You remember this story, huh? Like, I think you were in town or something. I don't know. You were working, traveling or something. And it's like, Dennis, like, calling me Sergio. Can you go and poop on my toilet and take a picture after you flash it?

Daniel Tosh (31:42)

Okay. Because I wanted to make sure that she was clean.

Sergio (31:44)

You know, like, it really flashes. Well, you know, this is, like. Okay. And, like, I'm on the job site. Okay, guys, I'm gonna poop in here.

Daniel Tosh (31:53)

You know, you don't have to tell them. You can just go. Nobody's asking you. Was I a relatively easy person to work with?

Sergio (31:59)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (32:00)

Really?

Sergio (32:00)

I think.

Daniel Tosh (32:01)

Oh, I didn't think you were gonna say that.

Sergio (32:03)

Well, it's like, everything but a builder likes to be pumper, you know? Like. Like. And you are very good at that. Like, you trampering. Yeah. Pampering. Like. Like, take me out for incredible lunches. Remember those?

Daniel Tosh (32:17)

Oh, man. Yeah. Back when I was trying to speed you up a little bit.

Sergio (32:20)

Remember the C4? We got lobsters and everything.

Daniel Tosh (32:24)

Yeah.

Sergio (32:24)

And, like, that kind of thing, you know, we builders love that, you know, that kind of treatment, you know?

Daniel Tosh (32:29)

I know, but now I can't even get you to hang out. You're just gone all the time. Pierre, my French friend. You competitive with Pierre? Do you like Pierre? You hate Pierre.

Sergio (32:38)

Well, it's the relationship between Spain and France, you know?

Daniel Tosh (32:43)

Who's got better food, Spain or France?

Sergio (32:44)

Spain.

Daniel Tosh (32:45)

It's not even close.

Sergio (32:46)

Not even close. Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (32:47)

Art. Who's better at art, though?

Sergio (32:49)

I mean, Velasquez, Goya, you name it.

Daniel Tosh (32:51)

Picasso, Picasso. Where's he from?

Sergio (32:53)

Picasso's from my hometown. I was born, like, two blocks away from him.

Daniel Tosh (32:57)

Two blocks away from Picasso. Comedy. Who does comedy better, Spain, France or the United States?

Sergio (33:05)

Spain is great.

Daniel Tosh (33:11)

Is there a comedy scene in Spain?

Sergio (33:13)

Oh, yeah.

Daniel Tosh (33:13)

Yeah.

Sergio (33:14)

Especially in the south of Spain.

Daniel's Son (33:16)

Oh, the south?

Sergio (33:17)

Yeah, the south. We are having fun all the time. If you're from the south of Spain, they know that you are, like, almost like a comedian, you know?

Daniel Tosh (33:24)

Oh.

Sergio (33:24)

Because we always having fun, laughing about everything.

Daniel Tosh (33:27)

Who's better? Builders.

Sergio (33:29)

Absolutely. Spain. I mean, we have one of the best architectures in the world.

Daniel Tosh (33:33)

You love architecture.

Sergio (33:34)

Yeah, that's my passion. Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (33:37)

A famous architect went to your wedding. True.

Sergio (33:40)

Yeah, yeah. Michael Rotondi. He was one of the founders of Morphosys and more than anything, he was the director of Sci Arc for 10 years. And he was crucial educator for many architects in Los Angeles and in the world. Incredible teacher.

Daniel Tosh (34:00)

Who was the greatest architect of all time?

Sergio (34:02)

Mies van der Rohe.

Daniel Tosh (34:03)

Who's that?

Sergio (34:04)

It was an architect from Germany that later on came into the United States. He did the Sigrants building in Manhattan.

Daniel Tosh (34:13)

Okay.

Sergio (34:14)

Many other ones, including the Barcelona Pavilion. Beautiful little building. He's an architect that understood repetition, symmetry and also being able to kind of stop time. And it makes these contemplation images of. Of the landscape, this framing of the landscape at the Farnworth House in Chicago.

Daniel Tosh (34:39)

What's the deal with Frank Lloyd Wright? Well, do we. Do I have to care about him?

Sergio (34:43)

Absolutely.

Daniel Tosh (34:43)

Okay.

Sergio (34:44)

There is one very interesting building by Frank Lloyd Wright is the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan in New York, where I don't know if you've seen it. It's like a spiral. You come up in the elevator and then you see the gallery. It's all about time. It's time moving through space. You know, it's. How can I explain it to you, Daniel?

Daniel Tosh (35:05)

You can't.

Sergio (35:05)

You know the Disney Concert Hall?

Daniel Tosh (35:07)

No.

Sergio (35:08)

The little flower like that with stainless steel. That's the complete opposite of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. It's about space. It's about space coming. Opening up LA is all about space. Guggenheim Museum is about time. Time is way more important in art.

Daniel Tosh (35:26)

Okay, guys, this is. You're getting a glimpse of what my days were like every day when my house was being built, where I would ask like, hey, how come this bathroom wall isn't finished yet? And then he would go on a 45 minute conversation about time and space. And I would just be like, all right, what architect do you think is overrated? Or do you not like, is there buildings or homes? Oh, I can't stand their work. Or do you just not say that because it's not good for business?

Sergio (35:57)

No, I don't care. But, you know, I don't know, it's hard to like, I just don't. I can tell you architects that I.

Daniel Tosh (36:04)

Like the Japanese guy that works only in concrete. You think he's a genius, right?

Sergio (36:08)

Tadao Ando from Japan.

Daniel Tosh (36:10)

I'm not into it. It's just pure, just concrete blocks. I'm like, ugh, that's for me, it's.

Sergio (36:15)

Very, very good architect.

Daniel Tosh (36:16)

Oh yeah, it's very Monolithic.

Sergio (36:18)

I love monolithic.

Daniel Tosh (36:20)

You love things that look monolithic. You're always like, look at this.

Sergio (36:24)

I'm from south Spain, and we have.

Daniel Tosh (36:27)

We know.

Sergio (36:27)

I've had architecture like the Alhambra, you know. Well, this is like the ultimate monolithic walls, you know, sitting on the landscape.

Daniel Tosh (36:36)

Where are you at on brutalist architecture?

Sergio (36:38)

It's good. Architecture should be kind of brutal because a building should be made to stand the time. This is what I enjoy when I go to Spain or the Hamburg or to Rome, and I see buildings that have been up for 2000 years and they look more beautiful.

Daniel Tosh (36:57)

Wait, what's the architect that invented that slide in that city in Spain where everybody gets hurt? Do you know what I'm talking about?

Sergio (37:04)

Yeah, it wasn't designed by an architect, that's for sure.

Daniel Tosh (37:07)

It's the most dangerous slide you've ever seen in his town.

Sergio (37:11)

Yeah, like. Well, they had to shut it off.

Daniel Tosh (37:14)

Like, during the opening, Grandmas and children were going 300 miles an hour down this huge slide.

Sergio (37:20)

There is a change of height from one street high up to the lower street. And the developer of that area get together with the politicians said, why don't we do a slide? You know, So I get to build all these units, you know, and then I build you this park with a slide that goes all the way to the other street down there. The day of the opening, the whole town is there dressed up, you know, and they say, okay, it's open, you know, and they start people throwing themselves through the slide. And they just, like, you know, people breaking their legs, burning, because it was like stainless steel, you know, and burning the whole leg, you know? You know, it was a disaster. So they had to stop it, you know.

Daniel Tosh (38:02)

That's so good. What is flamenco in music?

Sergio (38:06)

There is a few hotspots for music in the world.

Daniel Tosh (38:09)

Okay.

Sergio (38:10)

Flamenco is. Is very. Because it's very deep. It's like in America, the blues, you know, but the blues, like the blues that they play just with the hands, maybe, like, really, like slavery blues, you know?

Daniel Tosh (38:23)

I guess I don't. I'm not really familiar with the hand slavery blues.

Sergio (38:27)

It came up from Africa. No, a mix with European, like the gypsy coming from Romania. And that created the flamenco.

Daniel Tosh (38:36)

Do you listen to it all the time?

Sergio (38:38)

All the time.

Daniel Tosh (38:38)

Every time I listen to your mu. Whatever you're listening to, it's just the worst club music. Like a. A Ibiza.

Sergio (38:45)

No, no, no.

Daniel Tosh (38:46)

You like.

Sergio (38:46)

You love that club music. Yeah, yeah. Well, no, but. But this is not what I listen no, but.

Daniel Tosh (38:52)

But you do rock out to some clubs.

Sergio (38:53)

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (38:55)

I mean, of course. That's. You're always like, listen to this song for us.

Sergio (38:58)

It's like. Or like, like. Well, I kind of pump it up a little bit when I see you, because I know you make fun of me.

Daniel Tosh (39:05)

What's your thoughts on gazpacho?

Sergio (39:07)

Gazpacho? Andalus? No, it's from my region of Spain.

Daniel Tosh (39:11)

So I don't care. Sergio, do you like it or do you love it?

Sergio (39:15)

I love it, but. Okay, here's. The ingredients are very important. I have the privilege of my brother growing his own veggies for the gazpacho in the summer.

Daniel Tosh (39:27)

Oh, that's why his body's so good. Grows his own veggies.

Sergio (39:31)

Top body. And so when I go there, I mean, the tomatoes he grows, it's called Balls of the Bull because they're, like, hanging like that, really large and incredible flavor, no acidity. And it's just. That's a perfect tomato to do the gazpacho.

Daniel Tosh (39:49)

My wife makes gazpacho using cherry tomatoes.

Sergio (39:52)

Yeah, she needs a little explanation on that.

Daniel Tosh (39:57)

I'm teasing. I don't know. No, she does. She actually hates gazpacho.

Daniel's Son (40:00)

But he would admit Italy has better tomatoes.

Sergio (40:03)

Yes, well, the tomato is more from the south. The salmorejo is from the south. From where I am. No.

Daniel Tosh (40:07)

So your tomatoes are comparable to Italy's tomatoes.

Sergio (40:10)

Way better than Italy's.

Daniel Tosh (40:13)

I didn't see that coming. I didn't see that coming.

Sergio (40:16)

Don't even get me started on sardines. You know?

Daniel Tosh (40:18)

Oh, I don't.

Sergio (40:19)

I'm not.

Daniel Tosh (40:19)

I don't care that much.

Sergio (40:20)

You haven't been in. You haven't ate the sardines from my town.

Daniel Tosh (40:24)

You're very proud of Spain. You. You have a lot of pride in your country.

Sergio (40:27)

Very, very proud. You know, I think it's the best country in the world.

Daniel Tosh (40:30)

But now you are no longer allowed to go back. Is that true?

Sergio (40:33)

I can go there anytime I want.

Daniel Tosh (40:36)

You have dual citizenship. You're. You became. When did you become a Citizen in.

Sergio (40:41)

The US maybe, like 15 years ago.

Daniel Tosh (40:44)

15 years ago.

Sergio (40:44)

Yeah. Yeah. But I can go back and forth. I have.

Daniel Tosh (40:47)

You go back years. I.

Sergio (40:48)

For my kids to.

Daniel Tosh (40:49)

You go back usually every summer, and you pull one of the craziest husband moves I've ever, ever witnessed. You have your wife and your two kids, go ahead of you fly to Spain, and then you go two weeks later. So you get two weeks to be by yourself here. And you don't have to travel with the children now. Your kids are a little bit older, but back in the day when they were just babies, you were like, no, no, she does the flight by herself.

Sergio (41:17)

She goes for two and a half months with the kids.

Daniel Tosh (41:19)

I know.

Sergio (41:20)

And I only go three weeks, so I get all that by myself here. You know.

Daniel Tosh (41:24)

What's the best region in Spain?

Sergio (41:26)

Andalusia.

Daniel Tosh (41:27)

Is that where you're from?

Sergio (41:28)

Well, yes, that's where I'm from, but I'm biased. No, you're very biased. Every region is very different. It's hard to pick one because you're not. You don't have apples to apples. Everything is just so different. But I'm from the south, and that's kind of like, you know, obviously where. I like the Finns from the south. I like the people from the south. I like the food a like the flamenco, you know.

Daniel Tosh (41:52)

Pete is now a resident and bought property in Spain, well, through his wife, and his wife's sister lives there full time. So now he. He feels like he is a local in Spain.

Sergio (42:05)

It's probably the best move.

Daniel Tosh (42:07)

What region do you live in, Pete?

Sergio (42:08)

Asturias. Asturias.

Daniel Tosh (42:10)

Asturia. You know. You hate that.

Sergio (42:11)

I love Asturias.

Daniel Tosh (42:12)

Oh, you love it.

Sergio (42:15)

Okay. I mean, the quality of the food there, it's not comparable to anything in the planet. On the whole planet. I'm talking about, for example, the Cabrales cheese, you know, from there, from the mountains of the Picos Europa. No, it's the most expensive cheese in the world. It's like a little cheese this big, like a four pound. It's $25,000. $25,000 for a little cheese that shepherd makes in the middle of the mountain.

Daniel Tosh (42:44)

Oh, I'm gonna make a quesadilla for my kids with that cheese.

Sergio (42:47)

This is what I'm talking about. The beef. I mean, the beef in Asturias, it's good. Very close to Asturia is Leon. And Leon has the number one beef restaurant in the world.

Daniel Tosh (42:59)

Shocking.

Sergio (42:59)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (43:00)

You sound like Trump. Just always talking about like. But like, you're like the Spaniard version.

Sergio (43:04)

I'm just saying, number one, everything is the seafood over there. I mean, you can just. You don't need to go anywhere else in the world. Once you get used to the food there and you go somewhere else, you know that you're gonna eat horrible. You know.

Daniel Tosh (43:20)

Should I buy one of these houses? That's $1 in Spain. Do they have. Are those offered in Spain? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

Sergio (43:27)

Where you up in the Hills in the middle of nowhere.

Daniel Tosh (43:29)

If you buy them for $1, but then you have to agree to. To renovate them and stuff like that.

Sergio (43:34)

100% recommend it.

Daniel Tosh (43:36)

You do?

Sergio (43:37)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (43:37)

Oh, brother. That's going to cost me, isn't it?

Sergio (43:40)

There's actually a lot of people doing this now in Spain. It's just going far away in the middle of the country.

Daniel Tosh (43:45)

Do you think you'll ever move back there permanently or no?

Sergio (43:47)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (43:48)

You think you will?

Sergio (43:49)

Yeah, I.

Daniel Tosh (43:50)

Interesting.

Sergio (43:51)

I have to figure out, you know, but I can't, you know, just be here. I miss Spain a lot.

Daniel Tosh (43:57)

Why not have two places? A place there and a place here?

Sergio (43:59)

Yes, that's fine, that's fine. But I have to go more than a month, a year. You know what I mean? Like, I have to.

Daniel Tosh (44:05)

Well, you're gonna once your youngest son, you know, we're talking about 10 years from now.

Sergio (44:09)

Yeah, yeah, I need him.

Daniel Tosh (44:10)

Get him out.

Sergio (44:11)

Yeah, yeah, I gotta get him out now.

Daniel Tosh (44:13)

How big is your paella pan?

Sergio (44:15)

Well, mine, you haven't seen my new one.

Daniel Tosh (44:18)

You got a new paella pan?

Sergio (44:19)

Yes.

Daniel Tosh (44:19)

I'm gonna point out it's pretty big.

Sergio (44:21)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can feed like easily, like 20 people, you know?

Daniel Tosh (44:25)

20 people?

Sergio (44:26)

Yeah. It has a three ring burner with independence. So I can control everything.

Daniel Tosh (44:30)

One time you were telling me, like, we have to do paella, we have to do paella. I'm like, fine, we'll do it. And then you're like, okay, I don't actually know how to do it. I have a friend that does my paella for me and you're gonna like made. You're gonna make me bring another guy to my house to cook for me. And I said, no, I'm not inviting another member. So then you're like, no, no, okay, fine, I'll do it. So then in Tahoe, you came. You always talked about the thing that's the most important paella is being level. Everything has to be level.

Sergio (44:59)

Very important. So when you have it level the liquid, it's the same amount. So the rice will cook evenly. If you are off a little bit, there is more water and more dry in another area. So the rice is not going to cook at the same.

Daniel Tosh (45:14)

You don't season it enough is what I like to say.

Sergio (45:17)

Season like this, like it's the paella, you put like the saffron and.

Daniel Tosh (45:25)

And I still have some of the fancy seasons that you gave us.

Sergio (45:28)

Yeah, well, the pimenton, you know, I give Danny, when you. We finish the house finally, like I Give you a little paella.

Daniel Tosh (45:35)

I know. And then my wife made paella one time, and you stood next. Don't get mad. You stood next to her and you critiqued her for over an hour. And she was losing her mind. She couldn't handle you just telling her what she was doing wrong for over an hour.

Sergio (45:50)

Well, the problem. Okay, I think I know what happened, actually. She took a recipe for 15 people and put it in a little pan, a paella pan that I gave you for, like, three and a half people. Her proportions were wrong. Yeah. So she.

Daniel Tosh (46:08)

It needs to be. The rice needs to be thin.

Sergio (46:09)

So when, you know, when I. When I.

Daniel Tosh (46:10)

You like, it burnt.

Sergio (46:11)

I remember when I got there to your house that day, Amanda comes to me and says, sergio, Sergio, you know, Carly is cooking a paella for you, you know, like, what? Yeah, yeah. You know, and like. Okay. So, you know, I go over there and I see her cooking my paella pan, a mountain of rice.

Daniel Tosh (46:32)

She was not cooking a mountain of rice in your paella.

Sergio (46:35)

I'm like, oh, my God, what is that? And she said, I'm making a paella for you. You know, And I go, paella. But look at this. This is like, you know, this rice here for, like, I don't know. You can't cook it like that.

Daniel Tosh (46:47)

Her proportions were off. That's what you're saying.

Sergio (46:49)

So she took a recipe that. I think my wife gave it to her or I don't know when she learned. When I cook it in Tahoe, whatever. And she put all that into a little pan.

Daniel Tosh (46:58)

That's no good.

Sergio (46:59)

No, no, no. It was like some kind of Chinese rice or something like that.

Daniel Tosh (47:05)

You know, one time my wife cooked for your family, and she made Mexican food. And your wife says to my wife, you know, as a Mexican woman says, oh, this is so many flavors. That's what she said. So many flavors. I'm like, what? Why would you cook Mexican food for a Mexican woman? I mean, maybe she meant it as a compliment, but I don't think she did.

Sergio (47:32)

I don't remember that.

Daniel Tosh (47:33)

This was in Tahoe.

Sergio (47:34)

Oh, in Tahoe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Daniel Tosh (47:37)

Enchiladas or something like that. And your wife was just like, yeah.

Sergio (47:39)

I remember that now. Yeah, yeah, that was. Didn't cut it.

Daniel Tosh (47:42)

Yeah, it didn't cut it. Now, do you take naps every day?

Sergio (47:48)

Yes. That doesn't work, you know, because you've seen me sleeping in the car.

Daniel Tosh (47:52)

That's right. You did used to take. You used to go out to your car and take naps.

Sergio (47:55)

I take it every day. Doesn't matter. I kind of do. I cannot function without it.

Daniel Tosh (48:00)

How long do you nap for? Usually just two hours.

Sergio (48:02)

My life in Spain and I know I can't change it. Those are kind of things that are programming my brain. I eat lunch and I fall asleep. I mean, I'm fall asleep not resting. Like, fall asleep completely.

Daniel Tosh (48:11)

I know. I do the same thing. Do you remember how young you looked when you started working at my house?

Sergio (48:16)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (48:16)

Oh, we both aged. Yeah, we both age. I was single.

Sergio (48:21)

Sergio (48:35)

He goes, I've got a hookup in Palm Desert at the James Purse outlet store. And she hides the good stuff that comes into the outlet store. Lets me know.

Daniel Tosh (51:04)

Well, now you're taking it back. It's an inner garage.

Sergio (51:25)

Yeah, that's a zip wall. Yeah. This is great.

Daniel Tosh (51:28)

Here's some zip walls.

Sergio (51:29)

Yeah, this is like when we have to put temporary walls.

Daniel Tosh (51:32)

Yeah, well, I've never used those, so I don't know why they're in my house.

Sergio (51:35)

I use it in your house, actually.

Daniel Tosh (51:36)

Here, take this.

Sergio (51:37)

What is. Oh, no, no, that's not. That's not mine. I don't care.

Daniel Tosh (51:40)

It was left in my work site. It's got dry Crete in it. Like whatever that dry cement stuff.

Daniel's Son (51:47)

Get a quick dry.

Daniel Tosh (51:48)

Quick dry. Whatever it is, don't open it in here.

Sergio (51:51)

It's nasty, man.

Daniel Tosh (51:54)

It's nasty.

Daniel's Son (51:55)

He said that is not mine.

Daniel Tosh (51:57)

How many photos are in your phone?

Sergio (51:59)

Oh, I don't even know.

Daniel Tosh (52:01)

You don't, do you?

Sergio (52:02)

I want to know. 69,000.

Daniel Tosh (52:03)

69,000 yeah, I just. No one takes more photos than you. And then like I'll call you and I'll have a problem at my house and I'll be like, hey, do you have photos? I need to know if it's a straight shot from the telephone pole to. I need to know if this conduit is a straight or if there's a junction box. And you're like, hold on. And you scroll through 69,000 photos and you're like, I think it's a straight shot. Yeah, it's a straight shot. You're good. Explain your plan to get get rid of Wilshire Boulevard, a major road that, that runs the entire length of Los Angeles and turn it only into a pedestrian road.

Sergio (52:40)

Los Angeles has a couple of problems. One is the public space is a disaster. You know, like we don't have a good public space. Like you go to any European cities and you see a plaza or something like that. It's so active, you know, here plazas are half empty. Parks are 100% empty. And the reason there is only there is a reason is because everybody has a park in their home, backyard and front yard. You know, we have so much open space. Los Angeles is a very low density city. And when we make a park, it's not relevant, you know, for the urbanistically, okay, it's just another empty space. You know, it's not, it's the opposite of Manhattan and the Central park, you know, over there is relevant. You need that because you have so much density. So every time we try to do an open space here in Los Angeles, it's very difficult. So I think what needs to be done is breed open space and parks. Like a transportation system, Los Angeles is designed based on freeways and based on moving through space for long distances. You know, we love commute. If you stay home one day and you don't commute, not you, but two hours, most of the people get nervous, oh, I didn't drive for two hours today. You know why? Because we have problem on us just moving through space, through freeways, and everything is so thin, everything is far away. So a park has to be designed with that logic where we connect big distances like Santa Monica to downtown. Literally it's a linear park, a linear freeway of pedestrians and also bicycles, electric bicycles. Now that completely change the distances. We are from Santa Monica to downtown. I think we are like maybe 12 miles away.

Daniel Tosh (54:27)

You still got that rad wagon? I got you.

Sergio (54:30)

I love it.

Daniel Tosh (54:31)

You still got it?

Sergio (54:31)

Oh yeah.

Daniel Tosh (54:32)

But your kids are huge now, so you don't need that.

Sergio (54:34)

Yeah, we still get all of us on top.

Daniel Tosh (54:36)

No, you don't.

Sergio (54:37)

Yes, we do.

Daniel Tosh (54:37)

What?

Sergio (54:38)

It's incredible transport.

Daniel Tosh (54:40)

Something like that.

Sergio (54:41)

Yes. Yes. Anyway, I think Los Angeles, especially now with the Olympics, you know, I'm from Spain, so we went through the Olympics in Barcelona and we transformed the whole city.

Daniel Tosh (54:53)

Are you excited for the Olympics to come here?

Sergio (54:55)

Well, yes, but who are you going to cheer for?

Daniel Tosh (54:57)

Yeah, who are you going to cheer for?

Sergio (54:59)

Spain. But if Spain is not playing traitor and us wins, I'm happy.

Daniel Tosh (55:05)

Oh, what about in soccer? Who will you go for?

Sergio (55:08)

Spain. That's. That's a major. Yeah, that's, that's negotiable.

Daniel Tosh (55:14)

Did you overcharge me? No.

Sergio (55:16)

It just seems that it costs, you know, like, like to do things right and to redo many things. Would redo many times, you know, and it's just adds up, you know.

Daniel Tosh (55:26)

You didn't overcharge me.

Sergio (55:27)

You did.

Daniel Tosh (55:28)

No, you didn't. All right, Sergio, thank you for being on the show.

Sergio (55:32)

Thank you.

Daniel Tosh (55:33)

Hope your son fits into all the shoes. And I can't wait for you to finish your new home.

A couple of your favorites are Barkley marathons. Runner this year got John Kelly. Guess what?

Daniel's Son (59:27)

What?

Daniel Tosh (59:28)

Didn't finish.

Daniel's Son (59:29)

Oh man.

Daniel Tosh (59:29)

He finished three loops. Three of the five loops. No one finished this year's course. They made it harder. Too hard. You know why?

Daniel's Son (59:39)

Why?

Daniel Tosh (59:40)

Because last year a woman finished and they're like well, we can't have this. We can't let. If women are finished in the race. So. Anyway, they made it a lot harder this year. John finished three loops. Congratulations. You finished two thirds of the race. That's just a funny race to be in.

Daniel's Son (60:02)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (60:02)

Hey, I was in a race. How'd you do? No one finished. No. All right. Darrell, the ex NFL player that's now a chef. Remember he was sniffing around? Remember he's kicking the tires on the show, asking me parenting stuff?

Daniel's Son (60:17)

Yeah.

Daniel Tosh (60:18)

Ah, guess what? They're expecting their first child.

Daniel's Son (60:20)

Come on. Good job.

Daniel Tosh (60:23)

Nice job. Oh, man, he fucked up. My wife's best friend, Jocelyn, Dr. Jocelyn, who's been on the show, she's still pregnant and she's keeping the baby.

Daniel's Son (60:35)

Come on.

Daniel Tosh (60:37)

Gonna be a little girl. Isn't that sweet? All right, let's get to the plugs. What do we got? Toss show store Eddie's tour. Eddie? Eddie, you're in Austin.

Daniel's Son (60:51)

Oh, tomorrow night.

Daniel Tosh (60:53)

Wow. Cap city. Man, that brings back some memories. I know it's a new location from the one that we used to do, but memories nonetheless. Oh, I used to have a. I used to have a nice Austin friend. She worked at the Yellow Rose. Oh, man, I miss her. Every day I think of her. Then you got my tour this summer in the Midwest. Also on sale this week is some NORCAL locations. Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Francisco Central Cal, if you will. Or NorCal. Eh, whatever. Let's do the free plug. Hit the free plug music. Now that's good church music right there. Mm. Hosanna. All right, what are we free plugging? Iowa's most popular bacon festival and one of the oldest and largest bacon festivals in the world is returning to the Iowa State Fairgrounds. This May 3rd. The 17th Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival organizers will transform the agricultural building into a bacon boat for a yacht rock themed bacon extravaganza. And aside from all things bacon, there will be live music from Southern California's very own Yachty by nature.

Daniel's Son (62:17)

Come on.

Daniel Tosh (62:18)

Yep. This event will feature unlimited bacon samples for all attendees. Is Bake Os welcomed or. No?

Daniel's Son (62:26)

Oh, that's good. I don't know.

Daniel Tosh (62:27)

They're probably not welcome. It's not real bacon, you know. And bacos. I used to love putting those on my salad. Anyway, that's not part of this. I. The event will feature a renowned bacon eating contest. Jesus Christ. Is that just how much bacon you can eat? Or, like, is there a style of bacon? You ever had raw bacon at a sushi place?

Daniel's Son (62:51)

No.

Daniel Tosh (62:52)

Yeah, you probably shouldn't order that. The first contestant to eat 10 strips of bacon without throwing up or losing any large pieces will win $110 strips. That's something on. That's on the Denny's menu. That. Actually, that line might be taken from a Denny's menu. You also get a trophy and some Lipitor. Lipitor is probably. That's not real. I'm just joking about that. Unless Lipitor is a sponsor of the bacon festival, which those things would pair up nicely. Anyway, if you think you can defeat Ryan Plew, who has won the last two, get over to blueribbonbaconfestival.com ASAP to fill out your entry form, because only 12 lucky pork tricipitants. How do you say it?

Sergio (63:40)

Porkticipants.

Daniel Tosh (63:42)

Only 12 people get to compete. That's at 3:15 and doors open at 11. But make sure you're there by 1. Oh, God. So many numbers for the presentation of the 2025 Bacon Queen. Ooh, that'd be kind of cool.

Daniel's Son (64:00)

The Bacon Queen.

Daniel Tosh (64:01)

If you were dating somebody and found out they were the bacon Queen. Isn't it every woman's dream in Iowa to wear a sash with bacon Queen on it?

Daniel's Son (64:08)

I think so.

Daniel Tosh (64:09)

I wonder if you have to be born into that. Tickets to Pork a palooza are $29 for general admission, which, I mean, 29 bucks. Not a bad deal if you're. If you. If you say to yourself, well, I'm gonna at least eat $10 worth of bacon today, right? Yeah, because now you're talking about just paying $19 to hang out. If you're willing to spend $49 for the VIP ticket, you will get the koozie plus a pastry to build up your bacon eating base and a one hour early entry into the festival. Oh, that means you're gonna get the good bacon. The crispy strips.

Daniel's Son (64:43)

Yep.

Daniel Tosh (64:45)

My wife always orders bacon extra crispy everywhere we go. And I'm always just like, ah, just stop. Just let them make the bacon the way they want to make it. I get it. If you're at a gross place and it's just rubbery but extra crispy, please. Oh, okay. My grandma here wants to have, you know, no taste, just some chard. I wonder if I'm allowed to bring my pig to this bacon festival. I wonder if he'd if that. If that's considered cruel. This is a 21 and up event. What? That's nonsense. Children love bacon. Why is this 21 and up? I don't know if I would have known it was 21 and up at the beginning I might not have plugged them so well. All right. Iowa State fairgrounds located at 3000 East Grand Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. Stay crispy. See you guys next week. Is your team still running on yesterday's tech? Oh man, time for an upgrade.
