2:07
Keri Croft: It's so crazy.

Keri Croft: Yeah.
2:25
Keri Croft: Okay, so for those of you who are new who are new here, and we do have some new people, which is very exciting, but we do need to get you up to speed very, very quickly.
2:33
Keri Croft: Reader's Digest version.
2:34
Keri Croft: Anthony has started this movement basically two years ago with Lunchbox Ohio, which has now transitioned into hopefully 500 lemonade stands this year.
2:43
Keri Croft: Um, we've done this two years in a row.
2:45
Keri Croft: We're very excited about it.
2:47
Keri Croft: The goal really is to teach our kids to be kind, teach them to work as a team, entrepreneurial spirit, and to have a little fun and raise money for a good cause.
2:57
Keri Croft: Right?
2:57
Keri Croft: Did I miss anything?
2:58
Keri Croft: And to drink some lemonade.
2:59
Keri Croft: Uh we're done here.
3:00
Keri Croft: Yeah, that's it.
3:00
Keri Croft: Yeah, you nailed it.
3:01
Keri Croft: We can uh close this session.
3:03
Anthony: See that the gavel has been laid.
3:05
Keri Croft: It has been.
3:06
Anthony: No, you nailed it.
3:07
Anthony: I mean, it really just started as a way to try to figure out how to do more good.
3:11
Anthony: And then the two geniuses got involved with uh the dumbass, and we started thinking about how we could connect the dots and get kids to start thinking about doing good and having a little fun along the way.
3:24
Keri Croft: Yeah.
3:25
Anthony: And thus life gave us lemons.
3:28
Keri Croft: Yes, this is true.
3:28
Keri Croft: So this year we are going to be partnering with Cancer Free Kids, which I'm very excited about.
3:36
Kim: I'm pumped.
3:37
Kim: That was your idea.
3:38
Kim: Yeah.
3:38
Keri Croft: Well, so I I found Cancer Free Kids through my girl Krista at Panacea.
3:42
Keri Croft: I went to an event there recently.
3:45
Anthony: And Did you get a massage?
3:47
Keri Croft: I did not, but have you been there?
3:49
Keri Croft: No but have you been in their amenities room?
3:50
Keri Croft: You need to take your beloved back to Aunt Bitty to you need to take Aunt Bitty to Panacea.
3:58
Anthony: She needs to bring me there.
4:00
Keri Croft: They had Love is Blind in there.
4:01
Keri Croft: We were just doing an episode about Panacea is next level.
4:06
Keri Croft: They have amazing amenities.
4:07
Keri Croft: You can you can go back there for as long as you want.
4:09
Keri Croft: You can put rub clay all over her.
4:11
Keri Croft: I was actually turning into something very good.
4:13
Keri Croft: So, no, let me tell you this.
4:15
Keri Croft: Real quick, we'll we'll take a little alleyway.
4:16
Keri Croft: So, Krista, the owner, is very, she's the opposite of me.
4:20
Keri Croft: Like she's demure, she's very careful.
4:22
Keri Croft: We produce her podcasts.
4:23
Keri Croft: Like she's extraordinarily, like, has to be very backed by facts and like just think of me on opposite day.
4:31
Keri Croft: Okay.
4:31
Keri Croft: So she asks me, Will you sit with me and do this Love is Blind uh thing for my show?
4:35
Keri Croft: I'm like, sure, but like I can't make any promises that you're gonna, you know, not want to edit this.
4:42
Keri Croft: So she starts going into this whole clay thing and talking in great detail about the clay, the different colors, how you like, and I'm like looking at her, and I totally can't even hear what she's saying because all I want to know is like, has anyone banged?
4:54
Keri Croft: Has anyone banged that you know of?
4:57
Keri Croft: Have there's have there been sexual things happened that have happened at Panacea and her face?
5:02
Keri Croft: I'm like, no, this is what people want to know.
5:04
Keri Croft: Like I'm not the only one, and you're not the dirtbag asking, so we're not editing this.
5:09
Keri Croft: Yeah, yeah.
5:10
Keri Croft: So do you know, like the number of people that probably have sex at these places probably highbrow?
5:17
Kim: Alex on Love is Blind.
5:18
Kim: No, they didn't like each other.
5:19
Keri Croft: No, he was yeah, Panacea is a very like high class.
5:22
Keri Croft: Like, I I see people behaving themselves, and like Krista said, like doing it at home.
5:27
Anthony: Did she answer the question?
5:28
Keri Croft: I don't that's what she said.
5:28
Keri Croft: She's like, we don't own it.
5:31
Anthony: Let's check their cleaning bill.
5:32
Anthony: If they spend a weird amount on cleaning, we know the answer.
5:37
Keri Croft: So anyway, here we go.
5:38
Keri Croft: We go, this is not getting edited.
5:40
Kim: We're not editing.
5:41
Kim: She has to do say it explained.
5:42
Kim: Because this is great, people are anyway.
5:44
Kim: Like they're talking about me.
5:45
Keri Croft: They're talking about panacea.
5:46
Keri Croft: I know.
5:47
Anthony: Well, I promise to obey all the rules when I go to panacea.
5:51
Anthony: I will not do anything bad.
5:53
Keri Croft: He will be an absolute gentleman.
5:54
Keri Croft: So, anyway, back to my uh PG conversation.
5:57
Keri Croft: I went to this amazing event there as Krista's guest.
6:01
Keri Croft: They had cancer-free kids there.
6:03
Keri Croft: And the director, Jill, came up and spoke, and then Julie was a mother of um a cancer survivor.
6:10
Keri Croft: And I couldn't believe what I was struck by so much was the underfunding for pediatric cancer.
6:17
Keri Croft: Like I didn't, I mean, dumb.
6:19
Keri Croft: I'm a dummy.
6:20
Keri Croft: And so, what their goal and their reason for existing is to give grants to these people who are trying to, you know, just make the treatments better.
6:28
Keri Croft: So um, innovation and all the things.
6:32
Keri Croft: So if we can put some kind of just awareness and surround them with our badassery and muscle, I am so, so ready for that.
6:41
Anthony: Me too.
6:42
Anthony: I mean, there's there's nothing that's more important than helping kids, right?
6:46
Anthony: Like there's a million, maybe not a million, but there's certainly a lot of different avenues that we've always discussed about where could we continue to make this bigger and diversifying who we're helping.
6:57
Anthony: And I think knowing that we've brought kids into the fold to help us run the lemonade stand, this is just another way to kind of like deepen the deeper mission of what we're trying to do.
7:08
Kim: Yeah.
7:08
Kim: Yeah.
7:09
Kim: I like the idea of kids helping kids too.
7:11
Kim: Yep.
7:11
Kim: I think like in their little brains, you could explain it to them a little bit.
7:18
Kim: I think, like in work that I've done with nationwide children's hospital, like explaining to Georgia that sometimes kids don't go to the doctors and sometimes they have to sleep there, and you sometimes they have to see doctors in the middle of the night.
7:30
Kim: And this is like we need to help them through this time, whether it be drawing pictures, raising money.
7:36
Kim: Um, but I like the idea of kids helping kids.
7:39
Keri Croft: Yeah, me too.
7:39
Keri Croft: I think it's gonna be really special.
7:41
Keri Croft: The reason why we're talking about it so early is there's a lot of exciting things in the works about this stand this year, including we may move the flagship location to a more public um location, which that's to be determined.
7:54
Keri Croft: We have we're working with some people, but then also um we want to get you ready and rolling, but like the date will be announced soon.
8:00
Keri Croft: Just know that it'll be sometime between late July and in the August time frame on a Sunday.
8:06
Kim: So block off every Sunday.
8:07
Kim: Every single Sunday March to October if you can.
8:12
Keri Croft: Don't do anything on the one Sunday, the day of rest anyway.
8:14
Keri Croft: Do not move until you hear the gavel, right?
8:18
Anthony: The sword.
8:18
Anthony: The sword.
8:19
Kim: Well, the sword.
8:20
Anthony: We did, yeah, we're gonna do the sword.
8:21
Anthony: Yes.
8:22
Kim: Well, if we have one stand, that's only four hundred and ninety-nine additional stands that we need to locate.
8:27
Keri Croft: That is very true.
8:27
Keri Croft: We're almost there.
8:28
Keri Croft: I think that's pretty.
8:29
Keri Croft: I mean, I like that.
8:30
Keri Croft: I like a good, like, audacious ground number.
8:34
Keri Croft: In in like if we could get 15, great, but like 500 would be even better.
8:39
Keri Croft: Yeah, call your friends in Arkansas.
8:42
Anthony: Tascala.
8:43
Keri Croft: Idaho.
8:44
Keri Croft: Yeah.
8:44
Keri Croft: I mean, it's and it's not if you haven't stopped by in the last two years, we'll create some imagery for you.
8:52
Keri Croft: It's not like a traditional quiet.
8:55
Kim: I feel like I should beat box in the back.
8:57
Keri Croft: Yes, you should beat box.
8:58
Keri Croft: There will be music.
8:59
Keri Croft: There will be adult beverages for someone who wants to partake.
9:03
Keri Croft: There will be other things for kids to do, like friendship bracelets.
9:07
Keri Croft: There will be a lot of, it's a fun event.
9:11
Kim: But also, if somebody's thinking about hosting a stand of their own, they don't have to have marshmallow there.
9:17
Keri Croft: They don't have to have no hair being done.
9:22
Kim: I mean, it could be two kids on a corner with a lemonade stand.
9:26
Kim: Ours, everything the three of us do is like with their I we don't half-ass anything.
9:32
Kim: No, we full ass.
9:33
Kim: We're we full ass with everything.
9:35
Kim: So it's the flagship.
9:37
Kim: You gotta have to do amplifier and shelves, right?
9:41
Anthony: Is it a flagship or a flag sip?
9:45
Kim: Oh my God.
9:46
Kim: Did you have a kid?
9:47
Kim: Like your dad jokes are ridiculous today.
9:50
Anthony: No, but you know, just practicing.
9:53
Keri Croft: I think you were practicing those in the mirror.
9:54
Keri Croft: You were practicing those in the mirror this morning.
9:56
Anthony: Oh, pretty much every morning.
9:59
Keri Croft: I mean, yeah.
10:00
Anthony: I've got one of those tear-off calendars of dad jokes just to keep that mental muscle strong.
10:06
Keri Croft: Yeah.
10:07
Keri Croft: So there'll be dad jokes there.
10:08
Keri Croft: There will be, well, there's no shortage of dad jokes with between you and all of your male counterparts that come.
10:15
Anthony: Women can tell dad jokes.
10:16
Keri Croft: Yeah, the the women don't do the dad jokes the way the dads do the dad jokes.
10:19
Anthony: Women tell funny jokes.
10:20
Anthony: That's true.
10:20
Keri Croft: Yeah.
10:21
Keri Croft: But no, parents, please, like this is there's nothing better you can do for your kids than than get them involved in service early, even if they're kicking and screaming a little bit, because as we know, I mean, George is used to this.
10:33
Keri Croft: George is like a leader.
10:34
Keri Croft: She's like, I am I'm in service.
10:37
Keri Croft: Ford is still kicking a little.
10:38
Keri Croft: Dane's getting there, but man, that kid really wants to keep some money.
10:41
Keri Croft: Yeah.
10:41
Keri Croft: Um, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to shake that out of him, especially now that he's obsessed with Roblox and Robux and all the things.
10:47
Keri Croft: But there's a this is a really great way to get involved with something that is fun, easy, like you said.
10:54

13:55
Keri Croft: So speaking of getting your I mean, these softballs, you guys, we were meant to be the three of them.
13:59
Keri Croft: Speaking of, thank you, uh getting your brand out there.
14:03
Keri Croft: So I'm just gonna put out my ideal dream marketing branding for this.
14:09
Keri Croft: Okay.
14:10
Kim: Let me get out my notebook.
14:11
Keri Croft: And I'm being dead serious.
14:12
Keri Croft: You're gonna think I'm joking, but people who know me will know this is real.
14:15
Keri Croft: If you know anyone who knows anyone who has a car with hydraulics, preferably a convertible, can you please reach out?
14:27
Keri Croft: Because I feel like the ultimate marketing this year would be having the kids.
14:33
Keri Croft: Yep.
14:33
Keri Croft: Right.
14:33
Keri Croft: And this year we'll have, we'll do it, we're gonna plan it ahead of time more.
14:37
Keri Croft: So we'll have Georgia, Ford, Dane, Kyle, but then who Deuce and like a larger group of children with their little legends lemonade new 2026 teas.
14:49
Keri Croft: Could you imagine them like in the car with the lemons?
14:53
Keri Croft: But there's like a car with hydraulics slowly, very safely, of course, rolling.
14:59
Keri Croft: So we can get.
15:00
Keri Croft: I need, I know somebody in the city has to has a car with hydraulics.
15:06
Keri Croft: And then we could like put on like um, you know, just some clean hip hop.
15:10
Keri Croft: Yeah.
15:11
Keri Croft: What is that?
15:12
Keri Croft: And the marketing would be lit.
15:15
Keri Croft: Slow-mo.
15:16
Keri Croft: Yep.
15:16
Keri Croft: And if okay, I'm gonna make one more request.
15:18
Keri Croft: I know I'm I'm getting a little bit.
15:20
Keri Croft: I feel like you just shot for the fences on the first.
15:22
Keri Croft: If you if you possibly have a paint job that has the um the, I don't know what you refer to it in the like in the industry, but it's the shiny, like glittery or ice cream paint job.
15:36
Keri Croft: Oh man, I don't know.
15:38
Keri Croft: Yeah, an ice cream paint.
15:39
Keri Croft: But anyway, so I've always had really good luck just putting it on the mic and like someone always knows someone.
15:47
Keri Croft: Wouldn't it be fucking great?
15:49
Anthony: Can I can I ask a like, why don't you have a car with hydraulics?
15:54
Keri Croft: Not yet.
15:54
Keri Croft: This is on the look.
15:54
Keri Croft: No, my best friend.
15:55
Keri Croft: Listen, my best friend in sh my best friend in Chicago and I, we always talk about because she has her own dream car, which is a little bit different.
16:04
Keri Croft: It's like more of like a vintage, like um, Mercedes kind of thing.
16:07
Keri Croft: But it's still one of those, like, mine's always been, I will have before it's all said and done, there will be like some kind, and I don't know if I'll have hydraulics or not, because that's more like fun for a minute, but like having one of those a donk, just it will be what you'll see me rolling.
16:24
Keri Croft: Yeah, you'll see me rolling.
16:26
Keri Croft: It will be unbolding.
16:27
Anthony: Truly, if somebody asked me, do you know anybody in Columbus with a car with hydraulics?
16:32
Anthony: I'd be like, probably Carrie Croft.
16:34
Keri Croft: I agree.
16:35
Keri Croft: That's who I would lean into.
16:37
Keri Croft: And then let me just take, let me ratchet down real quick, my dream.
16:40
Keri Croft: I will also be okay with if you have like a hoop dee that like feels with the vibe I'm talking about, just and it just doesn't quite have the hydraulics.
16:50
Keri Croft: I think it could be so cute.
16:51
Keri Croft: It could be so it we just need to like hype up the marketing and like the branding.
16:57
Kim: I feel like we could find the hoop-dee.
17:00
Kim: I think the hydraulics presents a new challenge, but I'm open to working really hard to find it.
17:05
Kim: But I think we could do this.
17:07
Keri Croft: But you know how sometimes, Kimmy, before you go down a wormhole, like so you don't really know the community that exists until you see it.
17:13
Keri Croft: So I I argue that there could be this like really legit hydraulics community here that we just aren't privy to because we're in a bubble.
17:22
Anthony: What if someone has a hoop dee and they're willing to install hydraulics and we know somebody that can do it, we do a lemonade pit my ride leading up to the city?
17:32
Anthony: Oh my god, shut us down.
17:34
Keri Croft: So it's over.
17:34
Keri Croft: So you know, back back to the whole like we we are open to how to make this lemonade stand just as wild.
17:44
Kim: Reminder for your own, you don't need a car with hydraulics.
17:47
Kim: Right.
17:47
Kim: Yeah.
17:48
Keri Croft: Just have to because the more the more wild we get, or the more creative, the more awareness and the more funds for cancer-free kids.
17:55
