This episode, Barrett and John tackle a problem from someone who has sown their cats together. They tackle the latest in brain technology with ultrasounding your noggin, and finally John has to help out Fred Clodge, a psychic petrol station operator with a secret...

Sponsored by Piggy Passenger - Giddy-up! The ONLY Piggy-back service app! After catching up with the guys we launch into an Analyse That! The first one for a while! John shares some wise words from 'famous' philosophers, and Barrett gives his thoughts. In Celebrity Problem, Tom Cruise needs to escape a predatory contract with an ISP. Maybe his techy Mission Impossible mate can help him out? Finally, a Roleplay Problem, in which Barrett helps Baz with some clashing dates...what is a boy to do?!

Sponsored by Spoiler Shield - Don't let 'em spoil it for ya! This week Barrett updates us on his brain injury, and John tells us his legal trouble. Then onto the Pod! Featured Problem up first, it's a short and odd one, where someone has been stung by a bee, on his BOTTOM. Then some Brain News that we just can't believe is true. Finally a Roleplay Problem, featuring a very depressed, and somewhat horny automobile.

Monty Carlo's Touchy-Feely Special Box - Get yer 'ands on summet new every week! After detailing how little John Mango pays his staff at the clinic, the guys jump into an A-Z, where they talk about some new tech for your tastebuds...it's basically television with taste. Then Barrett brings up a problem with Kendrick, who has a very odd fluff problem. Don't worry Kendrick, we vow to help you. Finally, a Roleplay Problem at a bad boys' school. These boys just aren't being bad enough anymore and it's terribly boring for the headteacher, HELP!

Sponsored by Rock Ranch, the most rockin' place in the UK...to learn about Geology! Kicking things off this week Barrett has picked up a letter off the side of the road and has decided to share it with us all. Let's hope the boys can make sense of it and help the writer of the darn thing. Then onto Celebrity Problem, this week sent to us by Lawrence Boffkin Esquire, about the A-Lister Pedro Pascal, who is having a bit of trouble sitting still! Finally we round things off with a Roleplay Problem from Spencer Flap, pub landlord, who needs help keeping young people out of his establishment.

Sponsored by Doctor Jenks' Dream-weavers: get the products of your dreams...LITERALLY! First this week is another A-Z, where John gives us a quick guide to stem cells, before clueing us in on some new breakthroughs. You could become...anything?! Marty leaves another stellar voicemail, this time about tennis sensation Roger Federer and his hairy (and smelly) back. Let's hope the boys can sort that one out without it getting too gross. Finally, another Roleplay Problem, in which Michael's a little bit frightened of his Roomba. I really hope he can keep it together long enough for Barrett to help him out.

Sponsored by Baron Brown's Bag of Brilliance - Toss out those dirty damp satchels, this is the ONLY bag you'll ever need. Barrett and John return this week with some crazy problems! First up, Marty Boffkin gives them a tip on Steve Harvey, American Comedian. In fact Steve doesn't want to be a comedian at all anymore, and would rather be a best selling Sci-Fi author. Then, John retells his experience as a research participant for a brain study, but Barrett has some news for him that might throw new light on the situation. Finally the boys get a call from Eldrick Featherbottom, a gardener who has some brand new miracle-grow serum! However, there are quite dangerous side effects that only John can help to deal with...

Sponsored by Eau De Bacon, be the best smelling person around! First up this week is a Brain News about JOMO. What's that?! Well, let me finish and then you'll know, for God's sake. It's JOY of missing out. Let Dr John Mango explain it all, and hopefully Barrett doesn't take us too far off topic...Then a Featured Problem with a man who is taking things a bit too literally, so the boys will have to choose their words carefully. Finally, another Roleplay Problem, in which a professional time-traveller is escorting some historians to Medieval England. Let's hope nothing bad happens to them, and everything is fine and dandy.

Sponsored by Cash4Crabs - Get cash for those surplus crabs! First up this week, Mango and Coldyron sort out a Featured Problem, in which a man is losing his grip on reality. Should the guys suggest he rejects this new fantasy world, or totally embrace it, and forget real life?! Then John outlines some new research for Brain News, and this week it's about how chocolate makes you more cleverer. Barrett's having none of it though. Don't mess with his brain! Finally, as always, a Roleplay Problem to finish off. This time Dr Mango helps a demonic hellspawn called Lackey, who has an interview with Satan himself!

Sponsored by TV BoxTime - The streaming service with over 100 shows! Terms and conditions apply, no TV app available now or ever. The boys are back and used to their new schedule, and the extra time has given Dr Mango the chance to learn a new word: QUANTUM. In A-Z of Brains, John gets to use this newly learned word when he speaks about Quantum Brains. Don't ask me to explain it though because I don't understand. Then we get to another Celebrity Problem, starring Antonio Banderas, who wants to break out of his type-cast suave Spaniard roles, and try some new accents. Finally, a heavenly Roleplay Problem in which a man named Steve is being kicked out of that cloudy paradise above! Barrett's gotta talk to some angels and see what's going on.

Sponsored by StickyWheelz: Ride up ANYTHING. The guys are back, with their new fortnightly schedule; get it in your diary! First up, Barrett brings to the table a Featured Problem about toilets. You'll have to listen and see what the heck that's all about! Then it's a Brain News, which as usual is Mango's time to shine. This week he sums up last year's Brain/Mind tech and inventions, and asks himself and Barrett 'What do we want to see next?' I hope they don't come up with a load of crap... Finally...Roleplay Problem as always, with the mayor of Diddly, Dylan, ringing in with a conundrum. John doesn't have any experience with politics, but he's willing to give this one a go!

Sponsored by Ron Bunting's Beary Boy and Friends books! Your kids are gonna love these alliterative books! This week we kick things off with an A-Z of Brains in which Dr Mango outlines the Pre-frontal Cortex, or 'Brain Boss' as he has now nicknamed it. Barrett has some questions as always, so let's hope John can answer them adequately. Next up it's a Celebrity Problem; Jay-Z has got the hiccups, and this could be a disaster for his career...or maybe it's not so bad after all? In this week's Roleplay Problem, Barrett helps crazy confectioner Botty Bonka, who has had some recipes stolen. Although maybe they weren't so great to begin with.
