And is it really a Hawaiian's voice for Christmas?
Yes.
Meli-kale-ke-makau means Merry Christmas.
It's a lot of words for Merry Christmas.
It's confusing me.
This was from the soundtrack of Family Vacation.
Yes.
Which we are sampling much of.
I love being man.
What?
It's Satan now.
Dude, we said we weren't going to have Satan on Christmas weekend.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did I break your concentration?
No.
Again?
Don't.
Stop it.
What are you doing here?
I'm just dropping by.
Say happy Hanukkah.
Hope everybody has a great time.
Is this a big time of year for you?
I mean, come on.
Oh, sure.
Everybody's celebrating Christ.
Yeah.
I've got two spots left on the menorah, brother.
Jesus.
It's going to be an awesome time.
And the whole thing.
Well, you know, I don't discriminate.
You know, happy Kwanza.
Merry Christmas.
And everything.
But really?
I mean, for my people.
Yeah.
Hanukkah.
Yeah, myself.
Jesus.
Gabriel.
We're all Jews.
Yeah.
The three students?
You didn't know?
No, I didn't know.
Huh.
I didn't know either.
I know.
It's funny.
I stumped the devil.
I don't look Jewish.
No, you don't look Jewish.
But yeah, we have a great time, you know, down in hell.
You're Jewish.
It's been in dreidels.
No, you don't.
Charlie Manson and Jim Jones.
No, you don't.
For having a ball.
You should.
You know who makes the best lots of balls?
No, I don't want to know.
Hitler.
I'm serious.
You would never think.
Okay.
But I mean, he was, he obviously was well researched.
I'm going to put the brakes on this.
Yeah.
I mean, these boxes will melt in your mouth.
That's just really something.
I love that Adam Sandler.
Hey, you just got to go.
I can't wait to get my hands on that guy.
Yeah, boy, I hope you do.
Playing golf with a hockey stick.
Jesus was Jewish.
Yes, you are.
Giddy up, giddy up.
I'll whip you horses.
Don't look at the snow.
Santa's house is where I want to go.
I'll whip that fat bastard into shape.
Take all of his toys.
Give them to the baddest girls and boys.
I'll take you horses.
Randy the chipmunk, what do you think?
How are you handling?
Are y'all having Christmas parties in the animal kingdom?
Well, yeah, Christmas parties are awesome.
Christmas parties are great.
Really?
You're still having them?
He said Christmas parties are great,
but you're not afraid of the virus?
Nah, we're chipmunks.
We got like a special metabolism.
We've burned up COVID in like nine days.
So nobody has had COVID where you are in the animal world?
Well, none of you are my friends.
Really?
Yeah, except for Fred the dog.
Fred the dog got it.
Yeah, I think dogs are more susceptible.
We have a party, but Christmas parties are bigger.
You know what a chipmunk Christmas party is like?
No, I can't even imagine.
It's like full on nuts out, nuts everywhere.
I mean, it's nut time.
Nut time.
It's nut time of year.
It's the most nuttiest time of year.
He has songs.
Yeah, we got nuts, every kind of nuts.
Brazil nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds.
Everywhere.
We go crazy with him.
We go crazy with him.
You're crazy.
My friend Stan, he's a chipmunk.
Right, Stan.
He ate three pounds of pistachios.
No.
You want pistachios or a chipmunk?
What?
It's like pure cocaine.
Really?
Yeah.
And it was like on the ceiling.
Hey, y'all, let me do that Billy Odyssey again.
Rock the cradle of love.
Rock the cradle of love.
This was Stan.
This was Billy.
This was the cradle of love.
Okay, we get it.
It's outstanding.
It's outstanding.
Have you had some pistachios this morning?
I have a couple.
How was it when I saw it?
I have a couple.
Sure.
She's getting some.
Yeah, hey, ain't no sin taking two cents in if you don't know when to leave it alone.
Right.
Stan didn't know when to leave it alone.
You hear the story in the Minnesota woman who had some pairs in her refrigerators.
She threw them outside and they fermented and the squirrels got a hold of them and they got drunk.
Yeah.
Do you hear the story?
Oh, you always look for bad fruit, too.
You do?
Yeah.
You people don't understand.
You put out these bad fruit and then you ferment it.
Right.
Better than whiskey.
Better than whiskey.
Better than whiskey.
You eat those bad pears and you're like, smooth.
They got a ring camera doorbell.
Can they see me?
I really can't tell.
I'll keep my hoodie pulled down and I ain't making a sound.
Stealing other people's Christmas stuff.
Hey, here's the big inflatable Santa Claus.
He will look so good in my front yard.
And a sleigh and eight electric flashing reindeer.
I hope I'm parking them or won't be too hard.
Now wait before they see me.
Hey, wait.
I need a new tree.
I'll chop this one here down and then I'll get out of town.
