71. Lori & David Feller AKA Mom & Dad on the Run
Lots of people say I'm just like my mom. Others swear I'm a clone of my dad. On this episode, you'll get to decide! I am thrilled to welcome Lori and David Feller — my parents! — to the Ali on the Run Show. On this episode, we chat about how they met and fell in love (and their stories don't exactly match up, so I'm siding with my mom on this one), how they survived long-distance dating in college when social media and texting didn't exist (there was hitchhiking involved), and what it was like having and raising Ryan (my 19-months-older brother) and me. They share their favorite young Ali memories, as well as a few not-so-favorite ones (that speeding ticket wasn't my fault!). We had a blast recording this episode, and I hope you enjoy joining us on our trip down Feller family memory lane.
