| 0:00.0 | Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with fixer. Since you never got |
| 0:04.6 | round to MOTing it, I took care of it. Fixed up. Fixed up. Fixed is great. They pick |
| 0:08.8 | up your car, drive it to the garage, handle the MOT, then drive it straight back to you. |
| 0:12.0 | Sounds expensive. Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their |
| 0:15.2 | partner garages and the car pickup services included. So since that's all handled, |
| 0:18.8 | how about you take a look at that leaky tab or do you need me to fix that too? |
| 0:22.3 | For easy car maintenance, head to fixter.co.uk. We'll pick up your car and take care of all the |
| 0:27.7 | rest. Fixed up and you'll back on track. Atober is the anniversary of Weird Darkness and we |
| 0:32.8 | celebrate by raising funds through our overcoming the darkness campaign to help people who suffer |
| 0:37.9 | from depression. Jeannie gave to the overcoming the darkness campaign a few years ago and when she |

| 0:53.1 | passed away in 2013. It was awful. I didn't understand at first when I was feeling. It's |
| 0:57.9 | debilitating. Also, my child suffers from extreme depression and I didn't know how to help. |
| 1:03.2 | It makes you feel useless. Well, of course, he loves your podcast too since I shared it with him. |
| 1:08.5 | Thanks for all you do. To other listeners, come on people. More donations. We should be able to |
| 1:13.5 | surpass the goal. Donate, donate, donate. Well, I can't really add anything to what Jeannie just |
| 1:19.2 | said except to say that you can donate, donate, donate by visiting WeirdDarkness.com-slash-overcoming. |
| 1:25.9 | That's WeirdDarkness.com-slash-overcoming. |
| 1:31.6 | Stories and content and Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and is intended |
| 1:36.0 | for mature audiences only. Perennial discretion is strongly advised. |
