00:00
Sister in September and it's officially k oh,
00:02
I'm so ready brother.
00:04
Like do it with some Pozoli,
00:07
some Alita and scary movies.
00:11
I love scary movies.
00:13
Well, speaking of scary sister,
00:14
I have some scary news for you.
00:16
Oh, no, brother.
00:17
I don't know. Did you know?
00:19
There you go. We have San Marcos might be a fake
00:21
a fake. This isn't good.
00:24
This is why this ain't.
00:27
No, I know.
00:29
I know. And it's like,
00:30
look, I just did my research because like Ka San Marcos
00:34
you hear it right?
00:35
And you automatically think like,
00:36
oh, it's just the tiger.
00:38
Yeah, it's how it feels.
00:40
You feel the, that's the thing.
00:42
It San Marcos is the brand.
00:44
So it's kind of like Kleenex and Q tips like you think
00:47
oh, it's a swap but we call it Q tip
00:49
right? So it's kind of the same like we just
00:51
associate that brand with the blankets.
00:54
So I was curious and I was like,
00:55
no, I'm like I saw an article I'm like,
00:58
ok, just to start,
00:59
I'm gonna give you the checklist.
01:01
Let me give you a brief history,
01:02
right? So first up the San Marcos blankets,
01:05
right. Originally produced in Aguascalientes,
01:07
Mexico. That's where my dad's from.
01:09
Ok. Perfect. So we're on the good.
01:11
OK. This is a green flag.
01:12
You might have the real ones.
01:13
Ok. So the factory started in the seventies,
01:16
right? And around 2004 they shut down.
01:20
No. Yeah. So,
01:21
I mean, like they got sold a couple of times and
01:23
as, you know,
01:24
there's so many fakes out there and so the ogs were like
01:27
you know, we can't keep up with the,
01:29
you know, the,
01:32
yeah, so they ultimately shut down in 2004.
01:35
So everything after that is probably fake.
01:39
That sucks. Exactly.
01:41
I do remember seeing them on Alibaba and like I saw my
01:45
A P for less.
01:46
It's like, that's how I know it's probably for less and
01:50
I, I don't think so.
01:52
So right off the bat.
01:53
Was it made after 2004?
01:54
Oh, well, it's a baby blade.
01:56
Ok. So it might be legit.
01:57
So, if it's made before 2004,
01:59
you might have a chance.
02:00
I think I do have a chance.
02:01
Number two, if it's a minion or a chiva logo,
02:04
the soccer team, it might not be a real one.
02:07
I will not because the minions didn't exist back then.
02:10
Exactly. Paw patrol.
02:11
All that. It's a,
02:12
I'm sorry. And number three,
02:15
if it has this tag,
02:17
it's a real one.
02:18
Ok. What do you think?
02:20
Do you have a real one?
02:20
Do you not. Well,
02:21
I hope so because,
02:23
it's not a minions or like paw patrol or nothing
02:27
like that. So,
02:28
I think, I think I could possibly have a real one
02:30
I mean, I've had it since I was little.
02:32
So. All right,
02:33
cool. Well,,
02:34
I need bright answer.
02:35
Can we see your call?
02:36
We can expect it,
02:37
please. Ok, let's see what this precious moments,
02:41
precious moment. Little doll with Bambi,
02:44
the deer. It's so cute.
02:45
So it's soft and it has the lining.
02:50
It has a little the lining.
02:53
I don't know what I saw the T Oh my God,
02:57
what is it? I,
02:58
I don't, don't tell me my whole life is a lie
03:01
since birth. This is a tag.
03:05
No, I don't see no San Marcos anywhere.
03:09
Cele la la. Look.
03:13
It's as if the real one,
03:14
it's like stitched on there like,
03:15
you know, Echo or San Marcos.
03:19
This is, look and it's,
03:21
and it's fine because it keeps you warm.
03:23
It does a job.
03:24
But I was just curious.
03:25
I'm like, ha because when I,
03:26
I'm like, wait,
03:27
San Marcos is the and we always think these Coca,
03:29
right? And so I was just curious about it because I
03:31
have a bunch of fake ones too.
03:32
I have a Chivas one.
03:33
I have a tiger one that I bought.
03:36
in TJ.
03:36
Actually when I was crossing the border one time this guy threw
03:38
it in the car,
03:40
they get intense. Like no you and I'm like,
03:42
no, no, the haggling back and forth.
03:46
I brought it home but it's a fake.
03:48
That's funny. I took the covia guy inside the car with
03:50
us so that he could take us to the front of the
03:53
line. He was,
03:55
he was, he goes and he got it with this.
04:00
He took, he took us to the front.
04:02
He had the connect.
04:04
This is crazy though.
04:05
Oh my God. No,
04:06
not my c I thought it was Marcos.
04:09
No, dude. Again,
04:10
we think, right.
04:11
That's the brand, not the style but I don't know.
04:16
Check your CIA San Marcos and let us know if it's real
04:18
or it's fake.
