This week we do yet another A-Z of Brains, and John tells us all about grey matter, the bulk of your brain! Plenty of facts in this one. Then Barrett gets Judge Jeremy on the phone for Dr Mango to help out. The judge is having a tough time with a murder trial, and the phone call might just tip John over the edge. Then to round out the episode, the lads do another Analyse This! Covering baddies from the movies, and how they should've been advised differently, so they didn't turn out so evil!

The boys return for more tomfoolery and advice giving this week! First, Barrett has pulled some of the best examples of advice from popular movies, and the boys decide whether films give good advice, or bad advice. Next up, a wisened elf alled Ardy rings in. He is a character from a medieval fantasy game, yet he finds himself in our mortal realm! Can Barrett teach Ardy the ways of convienience store shopping? Finally, Marty Boffkin gets in touch with some shocking news about comedian Kevin Hart. Apparently, Kevin has been the victim of a wicked scam, where he hired out a laboratory full of crack addicts to merge an elepahnt and a hamster together! Can anyone help poor Kevin?

This week the boys have another round of Quickfire Problems, and we can already tell it's going to be a much closer score this season! Then it's onto a Featured Problem from a 'porky male' (his words!). Let's see if we can help him figure out why no one wants to be his friend. Finally, John takes great joy in carrying on his A-Z of Brains journey, this time talking about the Frontal Lobe, and important part of an already important organ.

The boys are back this week, and John Mango has won an award! First off, Barrett has his scariest guest yet in Major Ian Krankenhaus. Ian has pioneered the super tough extreme training regime for the army called Brain Training, and he's here to give the lowdown on what it's all about. Then, John takes us to Switzerland, where there has been a big breakthrough in Telepathic communication. Barrett has a question though, what's the point? Finally, Marty Boffkin calls in with some dirt about Bradley Cooper. Apparantly, he has a big mole on his backside that is affecting his confidence. Can John and Barrett help him whack-a-mole?

This week's episode is very special indeed: it's a video podcast! Except you can't see this video here so head over to YouTube (soon) instead.

The boys discuss electrolytes in A-Z of Brains, and Barrett, once again, isn't fond of having so many chemicals in his body. John tries to reassure him, but who knows if it's worked or not. Then Barrett helps little kiddy Connor, who wants to be a firefighter, because he has such a love of fires. Needless to say, this won't be plain sailing. Then it's a Featured Problem, where Kate, a scientist's assistant, is not so sure if she wants to help with his latest dubious invention.

Innovative influencer Jack Kane is interviewed this week by Barrett, and we find out all about brain pollution, and Kane's amazing premium programme to help you get happier, more easily! Then it's Wayne Rooney's turn to get some help; he's having trouble cooking for himself over in America, so the boys help him out, and inadvertently invent a tasty hot dog surprise. Then...the BIGGEST Brain News you're ever going to hear. John doesn't want to even say what it is right here, as he said typed words won't do it justice. Be prepared.

Barrett and John return this week to talk about long walks and school reunions. First off, the boys go head to head in another round of Quickfire Questions, where the tension is running high! Then, John talks about Dopemine, the high flying brain drug that Barrett doesn't like one bit! Finally, John gets on the blower with Father Stuart Downey Snr, who has done something unforgivsble. Will John help this bad priest atone for his naughtiness?

This week in our Celebrity Problem we help out Katy Perry, whose Anthropology professor is judging her too harshly. We get Gromley the Troll on the phone for our Roleplay Problem, as he's struggling to extort brdige-goers and thinks maybe Barrett can help. Then in Analyse That! we we discuss The King of Brains himself...Professor X. We delve into his history as well as what his brain can do exactly!

First up this week Barrett interviews Matt Chope, Conservative MP for Barrow, and we won't be shying away from the tough questions! Can Barrett pin him down and get some answers about the his policies on problem solving? The Featured Problem this week has to be postponed, as our first ever Emergency Problem rears its ugly head. Let's hope the guys can stay cool under the pressure. Then John rounds out the episode with facts about the cranium, for "C" in his 'A-Z of Brains'.

John demonstrates his new Icelandic vocabulary to get us going, before we head into Brain News, where we find out that a perfectly preserved caveman brain has been found. What wonders could it hold? Barrett isn't all that impressed. Then the boys try and come up with a solution to Tom Hardy's film rights being lost to the mob in (a potentially rigged) game of craps. Finally, Barrett must deal with an alien-centric Roleplay Problem; a bloke's been having trouble with a pesky E.T. and needs help getting rid. Good luck boys!
