Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? - Father's Day lyrics

Anthony: Can you read or something for a second? Papa Burch: Are you filming me? Ashly: Hey dad, watcha playing? (Pause) PB: (Laughs) I don't know what I'm supposed to say! Ant: He was the guy who actually got me and therefore Ashly into video games. Um, the first present I ever got was a Nintendo Entertainment System, from him, and he got me Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. And... Ash: I remember Duck Hunt. Ant: Duck Hunt? Ash: Yeah, you played it forever. Ant: Yeah, 'cause I was tryin' to get... I was trying to k** the f**in' ducks, and the dog kept laughing, he... it was actually, it was weird, 'cause he was like, um, one of the first people who taught me to, like, just stick with things until you get them done, because every time the dog would laugh at me in Duck Hunt, you know, for not k**ing any ducks or anything like that, he taught me to persevere and (their actual dog barks) eventually I'd get the dog to stop laughing at me. And it turns out he's wrong, because there's no way to get the dog to stop laughing at you, because the game just goes on infinitely, there's no way to get the dog to stop laughing at you no matter what. Unless you wanna... no, there's no way. Ash: But it's a nice sentiment. Ant: Yeah! But before my heart was broken by the realities of the world, um, my dad's suggestion that I not let the dog laugh at me worked, y'know, in short terms. (Edit) Ash: Oh! Well I mean, he always, I remember, I remember, I think we were playing Cruis'n USA, was that the one we had for 64? Ant: Yeah. Ash: And whenever he'd steer, he would (pantomimes) move the controller as if it somehow helped. Ant: K, well he saw into, he thought it was a Wii. he saw... Ash: He saw into the future. Ant: He saw where gaming was going. Ash: Our dad is the infinite. Ant: He used to... (pantomimes) when he was playing Super Mario World, he used to like, when he would get to a really big jump, and he couldn't like quite make it, he thought that maybe the momentum of him leaning into the jump would like help things, so he would go eeerrrrrhhhh... (Edit) And if he went a little bit too far, he would like fall over onto the side. So imagine like a 40-year-old guy lying on his side holding an SNES controller.... (Edit) Ash: Uh, generally he just, he was never too busy to just sit down with us and play, y'know, play Mario Kart, or whatever it was we wanted to play, um, he'd always make time just to hang out and play video games. Ant: Yeah. I know if you're not, anyone who's not my dad, you probably think this is incredibly boring, but if it were not for him, then I wouldn't be making these videos in the first place, 'cause I wouldn't have gotten into video games, which then got me into Destructoid, which then got me into these, so um, we just want to say Thank you, dad, for everything, the video games and the raising us. Ash: That whole thing. Ant: Um, and happy Father's Day, even though it's two days late. Ash: And we love you! Ant: We love you. (Waves) Bye. Ash: (Waves) Bye! (Credits) Ant: Alright, say "Metal Gear." PB: METAL GEARRRR.
