You might have heard this story already, but it’s especially entertaining to hear (read) Daryl and Julie discuss it. This right here is the beauty of husband and wife DJ teams!

Julie:
All right. That’s Daryl, I’m Julie. And I mean, you’ve experienced this before, right? You’ve got this craving for a certain food item, and you can’t really…it’s not convenient to have it, so you just try to let it go, but you can’t. I mean, you’re willing to go out of your way, even drive across town to go get that food. Maybe it’s a drive-through or whatever. You’ve experienced that, right? Or you’re grumpy if you don’t get it? Come on, Darryl. Admit it. You’ve been that way before. (whispers) Ice cream.

Daryl:
Yeah. But I’m not one to go way out of my way for something like that…

Julie:
No, but you know what it feels like. It’ll make you grumpy. You have…

Daryl:
Oh, yes. I could say that.

Julie:
You have gotten grumpy before.

Daryl:
Yes. Agree.

Julie:
Yep.

Darryl:
Yes, I have.

Julie:
You definitely have. Well, a group of kids -they’re actually part of a cross-county track team from a college in New York- were taking a little break. And they started craving Chick-fil-A. The only problem is-

Darryl:
Were you running?

Julie:
Bahahaha, I need to! The closest Chick-fil-A was about an hour and a half from campus, so that would have meant three hours driving back and forth. The closest one was at the nearby Albany Airport, but the restaurant sits behind the check-in, behind the security checkpoint.

Darryl:
Oh, right.

Julie:
So they couldn’t just walk in there and get it. Well, that wasn’t enough to stop them. This craving must have been strong. There were 18 of them and they decided they were all equally passionate and craving Chick-Fil-A. So they bought a one-way ticket to Fort Lauderdale, not intending at all to go to Fort Lauderdale, but just so they could send one guy to take the ticket and go in and go through security- it was a $98 ticket by the way, which sounds… “that’s ridiculous for them to spend $98….” but you know what? By the time they all pooled their money, it was $5.50 each because there were 18 of them. So they all pitched in, the $5.50. One kid went through security, going through all the motions as if he’s going to get on the plane, only he just went to Chick-Fil-A and ordered 18 meals. It was a $227 check, and brought back all the sandwiches and a bag of cookies and the drinks. And you can see him, they’ve got all these pictures as he’s going through the airport of him carrying out the bag, the treasure. And he took it back and they all enjoyed their Chick-fil-A. That has to be a commercial. Anybody listening from Chick-fil-A headquarters, you guys got to put these kids in a commercial. Wow!
