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&#39;s gotta talk to some angels and see what&#39;s going on.

Barrett has some questions as always, so let&#39;s hope John can answer them adequately. Next up it&#39;s a Celebrity Problem; Jay-Z has got the hiccups, and this could be a disaster for his career...or maybe it&#39;s not so bad after all? In this week&#39;s Roleplay Problem, Barrett helps crazy confectioner Botty Bonka, who has had some recipes stolen. Although maybe they weren&#39;t so great to begin with.
