Welcome back to Gabbing with Gibb.

I'm your host, Gips and Johns, and stay on the show.

I'll be sharing my thoughts on some of the bigger Bravo topic that have popped up in the past few days.

After I do that, there will be an interview with Angelica Jensen from the Van Pump Rules reboot.

She has been one of the bigger Lightning Rod cast members on this season, and rightfully so.

cast and hiring an entirely new battalion of warring women, but that project is up on bricks

after viewers failed to warm to the new crew. For the first time since its inception, Rony is not
