Hi and welcome to the weekly pep talk with my mom this is the certified mama's boy in case you don't know

could just roll over from another podcast and like who is this? I'm Steve Kramer once a week my mom gives us just a five minute

peep talk just to get you ready for the week and especially on weeks like this Thanksgiving week, but like pandemic Thanksgiving week.

And I know there's a lot of people that are just feeling kind of meh about this Thanksgiving, right?

It just doesn't feel the same and it's not the same and so like how are we supposed to handle that?

Well hopefully today's Pep Talk helps you next. Whether it's an under the radar genre or a proper out-there podcast, sometimes it's better

when you get weird, especially when it comes to switching up your soft drink, introducing new Dr Pepper Zero.

With the same blend of 23 unique flavors,

it tastes just as weird as regular Dr Pepper,

but with zero sugar and zero calories. It's a taste you can't quite put your

finger on. Weird but in a surprisingly good way try more weird with Dr Pepper

Zero. Of course this week is Thanksgiving and the quote I shared for Monday's Mix 106 show is from Eckhart Tole and I want to talk a little bit about it today to you all and he says

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

I think that is such a great thought for this year in the pandemic when there have

been so many losses and so many disappointments and

now the holidays just seem to exacerbate all the feelings of hardship and regret. But I hope that we can find what brings us

joy in our life and to think of the good, to think of the good in our life, think of our families, our families that,

and family members that have gone before us, I think of my family members that have died, my

mother, my father, and my two brothers, and so many other people that have meant so much to me to bring me to this place where I am and to

help me be who I am. Think of those people and talk about those people and bring them to your

thoughts and prayers and talk to your kids about those people in your life.

Perhaps they know them, perhaps they don't,
