In Case You Missed It: Sales of Crocs Rise 200 Percent Since 2019 

Welcome back to Cheddar News, everybody. I am Shannon Lane and that is Big Machado and it is time for, in case you missed it, keeping you up to date on the stories you may have missed. So, do you all own a pair of Crocs? You know the shoes I'm talking about, maybe even several pairs. Well, and you're part of the reason that the croc sales are booming. We're part of the reason. Exactly. Well, according to the New York Times, Crocs saw a massive increase in sales during the early days of the pandemic and they are not slowing down Baker in just 2019 sales were up, get this a whopping 200%. Yeah. One man in North Carolina, a feature in the New York Times piece was quoted as saying, I roll into the gym with my Crocs on and everything and people ask me, you know, aren't you gonna change your shoes? No, this is how I'm going to live life for now. And I think that's amazing and it's not just everyday people, by the way that are rocking this night, celebs aren't shy about getting in on the trend. Nick cannon sport. The pair at the can. Is he like boxer shorts? What was he wearing? If you're gonna be comfortable you might as well have on your pajamas with your Yeah. Ok. And this is Quest Love. He was spotted at the Oscars on the red carpet wearing a pair of black. We didn't even show the other big celebrities which were Justin Bieber. You have uh post Malone who also wear a ton of them as I think both of them have their own lines. And by the way, I, I, I do have a pair that I use for gardening up at my house of state. But apparently this is the best part. Our director, Jessica, these are her crocs that she brought into the office today. Yeah. She's got a little flower here, by the way. Do we have a camera in the control room? Can we go see Jessica? She's our director. She says, no, she doesn't want, she doesn't want to be outed with her cracks. Don't worry, you show her feet on her shoes. So you, do, you, my kids love them. They walk around them, they'll wear them everywhere. I think they are really comfortable. And what's really funny is I refuse to be photographed with them or even like, have them outside of my house because I, I don't know because I'm just like, embarrassed that I have them, but they are the most comfortable shoes ever. Never had any on Jess, can I try on you? Uh, yeah, you and Jessica probably have the same size shoe, by the way, let me see, white shoes anyway. Just put them on. There we go. What do you think? It has a nice little sunflower thing on it? Oh, my gosh. Jessica, our director and Shannon have the same shoe size. I'm stretching them a little bit. Yeah. Well, they're plastic and by the way, if you need to buy her a new pair, the best part about they cost like $10 you can get another pair for her. Yeah, they're really cheap when they first thought they were more expensive. And then I remember doctors, a lot of doctors would use them. And by the way, speaking of fashion and white, did you see this photo of the Pope that is making its way all over the internet the other day in this puffy coat that he was wearing. So over the last few days, this photo right here that you see of the Holy His holiness went viral all over Reddit and Twitter because it's kind of crazy. It's absurd to see the Pope. You know, in this big puffer jacket, the big news here guys, this photo 100% fake. It is a phony false. Yeah. The image was created using mid journey. That's an A I tool that creates very realistic looking fake images and it looks so real. It duped everybody. It duped me. It duped. Chrissy Tegan. It duped all of us. One user on Twitter said, yeah, I think the Pope puffer jacket is a slay. So Shannon, I know you got some big puffer coats. How do you think the fake Pope did in this one? Oh, he rocked it. I was, I was like, you wanna get one? He was killing that style. I love it. Oh, and we have breaking news. Uh, we have a report that says you can't believe everything you see. But this, this thing is so good that we don't know what's gonna be fake or what's real. Just like those Trump pictures they ahead of him getting that was also fake also. I mean, but look, the previous Pope was like obsessed with like Gucci and all of those like high end designers. So that's why I wasn't very surprised by this. All right guys, we got more, wake up a chat coming your way right after this here, Jess. You can have your shoes back.
