I got a bunch of voice mails for all the people wishing me Merry Christmas and let's see who's up first. I think Bernie called me.

0:25.5

Hello, Jimmy. I just want to call and I wish you and staff and Brownie a Merry Christmas. I come from the Jewish faith traditions. I don't really celebrate Christmas, but everyone else seems to. So I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna go along with it.

0:45.5

That's what other people are doing. So I'm gonna do it. Merry Christmas. Happy you'll fight. Whatever the hell that is. Enjoy your wasp sale and missile to and so forth. And you can look forward to hearing even less from me in 2022.

1:02.5

Okay, I look forward. Okay, who's our next one? What's up, baby? What a great year this has been. You've been a liberal. I have not been a liberal. You grew up and got huge. I'm so proud of my baby boy. Look at you.

1:26.5

Baby's got subscribers coming out of his damn cornhole. Honestly, I'm flared. You still need to take my calls. I'm honored if you've been listed as voice bill. Best is you're bigger than Vinci, baby at this point. I'm just kidding. You'll never be bigger than me. I'm the fucking king. Don't flatter yourself. I've been in a Jurassic Park movie. God damn it. I know. Merry Christmas. I love you Jimmy.

1:50.5

Merry Christmas, Vince. Okay, let's see the next call. Look at this.

1:57.5

Jimmy, this is Rick Perry. I was going to text you in St. Mary Christmas, but apparently I get in trouble when I send text now.

2:09.5

People don't like my texts anymore. It's I'm trying to subvert democracy. Whatever the hell that means.

2:17.5

Sorry if I acknowledge that we live in a post bush if you go or world and fortune favors the bold. Oops.

2:29.5

Well, we all know nothing is going to happen to any of us. I guess you could say it's a Christmas miracle. So happy no well to you. Whoever that guy is.

2:42.5

But that's how they say Christmas and friends. No, well, it's the Christmas man.

2:49.5

And I hope that in 2022 you die in a car fire. Okay. Next one. Let's see. What's the next one?

Hello, Jimmy. Merry Christmas. Kevin's Beijing. I couldn't help noticing how hard people are trying to cancel you.

3:15.5

So far they have not been successful so far. I of course wish you the best, but just know that these people, these cancelers never quit.

3:26.5

They are a persistent bunch. This guy can assure you. So if they ever are successful, just know that me and others like me are here waiting for you.

3:37.5

Ready to welcome you with open arms to the land of the canceled. It's cold down here, but we have each other and that's something at least.

3:46.5

Just something to keep in mind. Oh, and happy new year.

3:54.5

All right, who's the next one? I'm excited.

4:01.5

Jimmy's president. You're Biden. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, my old friend.

4:13.5

And happy Hanukkah and Kwanjit too. Whatever your face tradition is. Guess what? I got a new dog. He's a German shepherd. I named him Comodon or some shit.

4:30.5

Well, he's pissing and shitting all over the white house. It's so hilarious to me. I don't want him to stop because everybody freaks out. It's an absolute gas, man.
