It's the most wonderful time of the year—when you're permitted (and strongly encouraged) to sip eggnog and pretend you forgot that embarrassing childhood performance of “Jingle Bells” on your parents' camcorder. But guess what? We didn't forget. And we're bringing you something just as classic and cringey—a rerun from two Christmases ago! Join us as we sleigh-ride back in time to an episode packed with questionable decisions and awkward outcomes, like what happens when you attempt to steal a trailer, but you're not too bright or why we should never fiddle about with the weather. It's our Christmas gift to you—and the best part? You can re-gift it guilt-free to your friends, family, or that random coworker who keeps forwarding you cat memes. So, don your ugly sweater, grab a candy cane (or something much stronger), and tune in for a holly-jolly re-gifted serving of The Shallow End. No matter how you celebrate, at least you'll have this greatest hit to amuse you while Uncle Gary attempts his 47th retelling of “The Night Before Christmas.” Merry Reruns!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR crew chief Paul Andrews to learn more about his journey from being a vacuum repairman to a Cup championship-winning team leader. After being raised by his grandparents in Louisiana, Paul found his way to St. Louis where he reconnected with his mother and took a job working at his stepfather's motel as a maintenance person. When he was working on a vacuum cleaner one day, he went to the local O.K. Vacuum store where he connected with Rusty Wallace, his father Russ, and Uncle Gary, and soon after took a job with the company. Along with this new role of employment came the opportunity to work in Rusty's race shop after hours, and Paul began traveling with Rusty as he found his footing in the short-track late model and NASCAR worlds.Once Wallace went full-time NASCAR Cup racing in 1984, Paul again found himself in Louisiana, this time running Rusty's sportsman late model program. Paul temporarily retired from the sport in 1986, but it wasn't long before he took a call from up-and-comer Alan Kulwicki, establishing one of the hardest-working duos in the Cup garage. The team would overcome the odds and bring home the 1992 Cup season championship. After Alan's untimely passing in a 1993 plane crash, the team was bought out by Geoff Bodine, and Paul would spend a couple of years honoring his late friend before moving on to other endeavors with Kranefuss-Penske, Dale Earnhardt Inc., Petty Enterprises, and Michael Waltrip Racing. Today, Paul can be found taking it easy, managing his various properties and moonlighting from time to time as a crew chief for JR Motorsports' late model stock program, working with Dale Jr. when he gets behind the wheel for short track competition.
Looking for a fun, family vacation this summer? Uncle Gary has you!
Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 I met our Celebitchy Zoom group in person! I talk about my friend's tiny dog. Chandra had an encounter with a Great Dane. Royals: Minutes 6:00 to 24:00 Our last episode, #171, was two weeks ago. We had just seen the video of Princess Kate revealing that she had cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. We were hit with over a hundred comments from new accounts all saying variations of the same thing right after that video was released. Christopher Bouzy has called out the bots on Twitter. The NY Times published an article in early 2020 about the then-Cambridges buying Instagram bot followers. In podcast #170 we talked about the Mother's Day frankenphoto. Major photo and news agencies issued a kill order for that photo. In light of that, and the very bizarre and obviously not Kate market video released by the Sun and TMZ, some people have questioned the video of Kate announcing her cancer. We wonder what's happening and Chandra has no theories. The video was filmed by BBC studios and we haven't heard many details about it. There were thinkpieces in the Washington Post and the NYT about the conspiracies. Getty images put editor's notes on the photo and video and refused to comment further about it. Last week one of the biggest royal stories was about how the Middletons are so broke they didn't even pay the insolvency firm that restructured their business, Party Pieces, when they sold it and went into bankruptcy. It's clear that the press has been given the go-ahead to go after the Middletons. There were multiple stories about this. Uncle Gary's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother underlined that the Middletons are broke. The British press always invents some new thing the Sussexes have to go to. There's a ceremony for Invictus's anniversary in May in London. England also wants to host Invictus in 2027, but hopefully Harry will not fall for that. Charles is also said to have invited the Sussexes to Balmoral this summer. Other major stories are about how the monarchy is now way too slimmed-down and how Beatrice and Eugenie need to be working royals to pick up the slack. We're also hearing BS about how Meghan supposedly got between Kate and Harry because they were so close before Meghan came around, which sounds like royal fan fiction. Harry wrote in Spare that he barely saw William and Kate. Harry has a wife whom he adores and this storyline is offensive. I like what Chandra wrote about the press in her piece about Peter Philips being unlucky in love. The palace comms departments are quiet and the royal rota has been left to make up storylines. We also heard that William was seen at a pub in Norfolk with Carole Middleton! Comments of the Week: Minutes 24:00 to end Chandra's COTW is from Brassy Rebel on the post about Beatrice and Eugenie covering Hello. My COTW is from Samuel Whiskers on the post about loofahs harboring bacteria. Thanks for listening bitches!

In Chapter 21 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses Revelation 13 and the two Beasts. Futurists often appeal to this passage as proof of an "Antichrist" in the "soon to come" end times. But is it really...?
Futurists claim that events in Bible prophecy are "soon" to happen based on current events. What they fail to point out is that the Bible itself makes the same claim about events in the first century. So who's right? Modern interpreters of the New Testament or the NT writers themselves? In Chapter 18 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton takes the NT writers at their word and shows that the book of Revelation was fulfilled in the cataclysmic events of the first century.
Chapter 17 of Paradise Restored is about how to understand the signs of symbols of the book of Revelation. David Chilton also addresses the need for understanding the Old Testament, as well as the ethical dimension of Bible prophecy. Listen in as Gary discusses this and much more.
In Chapter 15 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses the biblical term "the day of the Lord" and what is left to happen eschatologically. Was all biblical prophecy fulfilled in AD 70, or is there more to transpire? What about the Second Coming? Listen to today's episode to learn more.
Uncle Gary gives the kids dating advice.
Uncle Nick joins Uncle Gary in doling out Monday morning advice.
Chapter 14 of Paradise Restored is called "The Restoration of Israel" and deals with Romans 11 and God's future plans for Israelites and genetic Jews. All Israel will be saved, but this does not mean that every Jew will be saved. Listen now to learn more about this very important topic.
In Chapter 13 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses the biblical understanding of the "last days" and proves, from the Bible itself, that these days have already come and gone. Peter, Paul, the book of Hebrews, and many other New Testament writings make it clear that the "last days" were fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
In Chapter 12 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses "antichrist" and what the Bible actually says about this topic. Contrary to much modern belief, the Bible doesn't teach that there is a single shadowy figure known as "The Antichrist" that will take over the world in an apocalyptic future known only to science fiction. Listen to this episode to learn more what the Bible actually does say about "antichrist."
Cosmic and universal language is all over the Bible, especially the Old Testament. Language that most commentators, even futurists, recognize as referring to events in Israel's history thousands of years ago, is suddenly given strange Planet Earth-destroying interpretations when encountered in the New Testament. In this episode, Gary discusses Chapter 11 of David Chilton's Paradise Restored.
After a discussion about Earth Day and biblical stewardship of the earth and natural resources, Gary discusses Chapter 10 of Paradise Restored, which is "The Great Tribulation." Too often, modern readers of the Bible interpret the Bible as if it was written directly to them, but David Chilton makes the point that the Bible—and eschatology in particular—must be interpreted in the terms of the original audience.
In Chapter 9 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses the historic ending of the Old Covenant era with the destruction of the temple in AD 70. God sent prophets to Israel over and over again, culminating in the sending of His Son, Jesus. When the chief priests and Pharisees demanded Jesus’ execution they filled up the measure of God’s wrath and guaranteed the end of their manmade kingdom.
In Chapter 8 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses what it means that Christ is King and ruling in His Kingdom. Like a stone that becomes a mountain and like a seed that becomes a tree, Jesus' Kingdom is growing and increasing day-by-day. Jesus is seated on His throne and is ruling at the Father's right hand right now. With His atoning Death and subsequent Resurrection, Jesus has bound the strong man (Satan) and is plundering his house. It's Kind of a Funny Story article here: https://americanvision.org/posts/it-s-kind-of-a-funny-story/
Uncle Gary is here to give you your daily advice.
In Chapter 7 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses the fiery Glory Cloud that led Israel through the desert during the Exodus. The cloud was a theophany of the Holy God Himself and has important and significant attributes that we should recognize when we read the rest of the Bible. It was both a Guide and a Protection for the wandering Israelites… and for us today.
In Chapters 5 and 6 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton discusses the importance, and the biblical theology, of animals, trees, and land. Modern Christianity often has a worldview that more closely resembles Gnosticism, being skeptical of property and physical blessings. But everything God creates and gives to His people are a lesson about how to live and take dominion in God’s world.
The Garden of Eden was located on a mountain. Moses received and gave the law on a mountain. Jesus, the new Moses, gave His law from a mountain. Mountains and minerals are very important in the Bible. David Chilton discusses both of these in Chapter 4 of Paradise Restored.
In Chapter 3 of Paradise Restored, David Chilton writes: “Salvation restores man to his original calling and purpose, and guarantees that man’s original mandate—to exercise dominion under God over the whole earth—will be fulfilled.” Conversion is the first step in the process, not the process itself. Biblical salvation is for the whole man and the whole earth through the process of discipleship; it’s not just about making converts.

Interpreting the Bible properly requires a familiarity with the entire canon of Scripture, both the Old and New Testaments. Nowhere does biblical interpretation get more fantastic (and weird) than in the area of Bible prophecy. In this episode, Gary continues talking about David Chilton’s book, Paradise Restored, and how it points us in the right direction of interpreting the Bible on its own terms. Get the book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/paradise-restored-a-biblical-theology-of-dominion
Part One of David Chilton’s book Paradise Restored is titled “The Hope.” Gary discusses what true biblical hope looks like, as well as how singing the Psalms fits into an eschatology of victory. Christianity’s sure hope is rooted in the promises of God and the progression of the Gospel as it makes its way from the Garden to the City. Get the book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/paradise-restored-a-biblical-theology-of-dominion
The parable of the vineyard owner that Jesus tells to the Pharisees and the chief priests is recorded in all three synoptic Gospels. The parable is both a condemnation of these leaders of Israel as well as a short summary of Old Testament history. It is essentially biblical history in 60 seconds.
A high level of expectancy fills the early pages and events of the New Testament Gospels. Herod, the Magi, Anna, Simeon, and "all of Jerusalem"—to name but a few—were all eager and expecting God to act. Thanks in part to the prophecies in Daniel and other prophets, Jerusalem was on edge before and after Jesus' birth. As we say goodbye to 2022 and welcome 2023, Christians need to be reminded that God is always "doing something," and to keep our own high level of expectancy and hope.
The incarnation is proof that God listens to His people. The incarnation is proof that God is with us. The incarnation is proof that God follows through on His promises. The incarnation IS the consolation and redemption of Israel. Jesus is King NOW; He has the victory NOW. And if you are in Christ, it means that you have a present and victorious King NOW. Read the article here: https://americanvision.org/posts/waiting-for-a-savior/
One from the archives. Many people get bent out of shape when they see ‘Xmas’ or ‘X-Mas.’ They think it’s a way of removing Jesus Christ from Christmas. Every year you see the signs and the bumper stickers saying, "Put Christ back into Christmas" as a response to this substitution of the letter X for the name of Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth. Read Gary's article here: https://americanvision.org/posts/does-xmas-take-christ-out-of-christmas/
The Bible tells ONE story through its 66 books. Scripture is analogous to itself, that is, the Bible is entirely consistent within itself. There are no contradictions. So the best interpreter of the Scripture is the Scripture itself. The New Testament is the best commentary on the Old Testament, and the Old helps us to better understand the New. Interpreting the Bible takes work, but we must read Scripture in light of other Scripture.
Gary discusses several Old Testament passages and how they fit with New Testament prophecies. All biblical language must be interpreted in light of how it's used elsewhere in the Bible. Context, time, and previous usage must be taken into consideration to properly discern what the Bible is saying. The basic principles of hermeneutics should always direct how we read and understand the prophetic passages of the Bible.
Part Two. When it comes to Bible prophecy, we are often playing on a chessboard that’s been set up by a group of competitors and with pieces that can move only in terms of their rules. This means that before there can be a discussion of any type of millennialism, there must be an evaluation of passages that seemingly discount each one. The prophetic board must be swept clean before any of the so-called millennial positions can be discussed. Get the free outline here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/clearing-the-prophetic-chessboard-study-notes
What is government? Is it synonymous with politics? Gary discusses historical and biblical definitions and examples of what it means to be "under authority." Every human is under God's Government whether they realize it—or like it—or not. None of us are truly free.
