Sad to announce the passing of my dad, Bill Phillips (aka Bill Wiley). After years of acting on stage, he got this first TV gig when he was 51, and it started a whole new life for him. RIP Dad.
Fun prank would be to start wearing my pants inside out, so 20 years from now I look at the pictures with young people and say “OMG I can’t believe we used to wear them like that!” The joke being that we never did that, I was just crazy. It would be one of those “long play” jokes
I want people out there to know that change is possible. 10 years ago I was broke, depressed, drinking a lot and scrolling through YouTube videos. Now, I’m scrolling through Tik-Tok videos.
Just went to my bank and on the way out I smelled bacon. I asked the security guard if there was a diner nearby, and he said that this bank used to be a diner, but that was 20 years ago. Pretty sure I was smelling ghost bacon.
I know this sounds like a BS statistic, but apparently in the US alone, there are enough comedians for every single citizen of the US to have their own private comedian.
Tomorrow, at 6PM CEST, Henry's Kitchen star
@Henlips
himself will be making a guest appearance on my stream! He'll be showing us how to cook with style while answering your questions!
Also he's created a Twitch account - so go follow
Thank you YouTube and everyone for watching Henry's Kitchen. Like Navin Johnson once said, "Things are going to start happening to me now!"

Guys, this has been kind of eating at me. I have to confess, I didn't write that last tweet. It was my friend Daniel's mom's joke. I'm sorry for anyone I may have hurt.
If I were the federal government I would send the checks out to everybody, but I would make the envelope look like a jury duty summons so everyone just throws it away.
Sad to think that so many of us waste our lives staring at roses or having meaningless conversations with friends, when right under our nose is a phone that can give us unlimited entertainment.
Kids need encouragement. If I see a kid's drawing that's not very good, I'll still think of something hopeful to say, like "many artists aren't appreciated during their own lifetime".
Can you guys believe the hoops you have to jump through to get the stimulus check? This government guy just called and I had to give him my Social Security #, plus all my bank info and everything. Just give me the check!
Listening to a financial podcast and did you know that if you saved only one dollar every day for a full year, at the end of the year you would have more than $300? It didn’t sound right to me, but I put it into a calculator and the math works out.
My therapy is really helping me get over my OCD. I finally left the house today without checking to see if I left the oven on. (unfortunately I had left the oven on though)
OK I have one: In the shower, try as hard as you can to sing like Bob Dylan (
#7
) and then try to sing like Steve Perry (
#76
). Which one is harder to do? Now go back and rethink your list.
Happy to announce that if you have Amazon Prime, you can watch Punching the Clown for free! This is the movie that didn't make any money, but it lead to the making of "Punching Henry" (which also didn't make money):
If someone mentions their favorite show to you and you hate it, best not to say “that show sucks”. There’s always a possibility that in fact it is a great show, but you’re just an idiot.
The secret to a successful restaurant is to offer something that people can’t make at home. For example, Starbucks makes coffee, which anyone can make at home. That’s why they’re not successful.
I always thought I was just singing silly nonsense lyrics to Toto's "Africa", but I just looked it up and saw that I've actually been singing the correct lyrics.
I like to give younger people advice when I’m riding the bus, and I told this kid next to me, “if you want to do something in life, just do it, don’t worry about what people think”. And he said “good call“, and he got up and moved to another seat.
I can't believe it's been 1 full year since I've been teaching live cooking lessons on twitch. Celebrate the one-year anniversary with me today! Noon PST
If you can, try to support locally owned shops this holiday season. I was just about to order a book on Amazon, but I decided instead to just walk to the bookstore down the street, owned by two buddies, Barnes and Noble.
Fun memory: After my first open mic, a guy in a suit gave me a card and said “If you can write an hour’s worth of songs, you’ll make a million dollars.” Well now I have about 4 hours of songs, and it’s occurring to me that I think he meant good ones.
I’m not sure how I would describe my career, but I definitely wouldn’t say I’m “killing it“. If anything it’s the opposite. I’m “letting it live“ or whatever.
I am so excited to have my hilarious and brilliant friend
@Henlips
come in for Altercation Comedy Fest in Austin this year! See him next Friday! Grab tickets here:
You hear some musicians complain, but my annual income from music streaming has literally doubled every year for the last 7 years. If it keeps up next year it’ll be $36.
So sick of parents today. When I was 10, my friends and I used to hitchhike home from the YMCA in our bathing suits. Sure, now and again one of us would get murdered, but at least we didn't grow up to be no snowflake!
Always funny when people don't realize that their news is customized according to their viewing history. "There's a war going on and all the media wants to talk about is porn".
I’ll never forget losing my virginity to “Almost Paradise” playing on my car stereo, and how we laughed when the moment was ruined when it cut to a commercial for crypto .com.
When I was in Las Vegas I was walking around day drinking, as you do, and was really excited to run into Tom Cruise. I even gave him one of my Bud Lights. Now people don’t believe I met him, which is hilarious because he’s right there in the picture. Why would he lie about it?
Just discovered that you can just use a toenail clipper to clip your fingernails- you don’t need to buy a whole other device. Please share this info before it gets taken down by big tech.
