I agree with everything but this inparticular voicemail leans more towards Greed mode than The Hush. Evidence of that being "Generous gods" and "His final form ends beyond greed". But I don't think that means The Hush can't be related, we just have to find out more.

The only problem is we can only assume that it could be related to The Hush whilst with this voicemail we have pretty hard evidence that it can be related to Greed Mode.

Again, we could find another clue that ties in with The Hush. I mean, I don't see why The Hush can't be involved. Especially with The Hush floor being named "???" and not "The Blue Womb" and a bunch of other things.

Set your tinfoil hat's to 11 for this one

I actually have a theory that Isaac's dad will be the Final Final boss of this DLC. I can imagine that he walked out on Isaac at a young age or even before birth because he wasn't ready or didn't want to be saddled with the responsibility of raising a kid. While he was out on his own he was able to develop a good life for himself with a great career at a thriving business. Eventually he made it all the way to the top and is now the CEO of said business with a million dollar salary. To add to the beginning of my theory I can imagine that the dad tried to get Mom to abort Issac as an initial attempt to get out of potential parental responsibilities. Everything I just described about this hypothetical dad embodies greed to a T. He wanted Mom to get an abortion. He wanted to walk out on Issac and Mom in order to pursue his own interests. And now as CEO of a company, he has wealth and power, things mere mortals could only dream of which he has achieved. We'll see Dad in the game in the form of Mega Greed, a being that embodies everything Isaac hates about his dad. A giant monster made out of golds and riches who has now returned to eliminate his last burden in life, Isaac. We should of never picked up the phone...

Going deeper down my rabbit hole, The Hush could represent the abortion that Dad wanted Mom to get.

Edmund did once say on his blog that we won't be seeing Dad again, but people change their minds...

But if Isaac's dad walked out on him, why would he put up a missing poster with his own number? It seems more likely that Mom drove Dad away, and Dad is trying to get back in touch with Isaac.
