This week, we make history as we bring in our first member of the community for a live, in-studio follow-up show, as Albie and Urbano (and a pop-in from Caroline and Chris) welcome Lauren from STAPLES, who was exiled from her group of mean girl friends for making out with one of their brothers. We get deep into the story, the fallout, and what the lay of the land is now. And Chris even compliments her oysters!

Maybe you're the next Lauren from STAPLES? --> DearAlbieMailbag@ gmail.com

Chris meets a community member in Staples, who had just written into the show the day before. So Chris promised her they'd answer her question on the show -- and we do. So join us as we work our way through Lauren and her star-crossed love for her friend's brother (or is it ex-friend?).

Plus: Natalie gets a make-up show, Chris and Albie fight over texts and calls, and more!

The community is fractured over the Great Markie Cheer Debate — who was right last episode? Does it matter? Because we did the impossible "We made Lauren likable" — and Lauren seems to be the clear winner, according to Albie, Caroline, and Candice. But was she? We have a million replies, from Instagram, email, and everywhere in between... AND THERE'S MORE DRAMA!!! Accusations of Candice voting on the Instagram polls from several accounts and even Venmoing people to vote for her.

We go over the responses and replies. Blood boils. Cheer moms chime. Who wants this smoke?? We all do!!!

It's war. Family drama. Cheer drama. Candice vs. Caroline. A crying Markie. And we turned the mics on for it. This might be our best episode yet.

We spend a lot of time — with Albie, Carolline, Al and Jules — talking about what happens when someone buys you a drink at a bar. Are you obliged to chat? Do you have to acknowledge it? Jules says it ends when the conversation gets boring. Caroline? "Buy your own damn drink" And there's more. A lot more!
