The duo recently announced a major partnership with Spotify to bring video episodes to the platform, marking an exciting new chapter for their devoted audience.

McCusker’s highly-anticipated debut Netflix special, A Humble Offering, premiered in October 2025, quickly hitting the Top 10. In it, the comedian discussed the homelessness crisis, opined on race relations, and supplied best practices for seducing his wife. In 2023, McCusker released his first ever special, The Speed of Light. Blending sharp wit with McCusker’s trademark grounded resonance, the hour’s take on masculinity, wellness, and relationships quickly amassed almost 4M views on YouTube alone.

As an actor, McCusker has played scene-stealing roles in series including the record-breaking Netflix sitcom Tires and the hit web series Gilly & Keeves. In August 2025, McCusker launched his first animated project with the debut short, The Papa John Paradox.

McCusker is also a respected author. His debut novel, Overlook: A Story About Drugs, Disappointment, and the American Dream, a satirical and unflinching look at a blue-collar community in the throes of a missing person case, was received with acclaim. McCusker is in development on his next book project.
