===The Gus & Eddy Podcast===
In September 2017, Burback started a podcast titled Ok I'll Talk with his friend and fellow YouTuber Gus Johnsonhttps://www.owltail.com/podcast/QmStV-Ok-Ill-Talk, which later became the Gus & Eddy podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9q4FW3t7AasK7o49C-Mq6whttps://momoroth.com/gusandeddy/#watch, Burback's second YouTube channel when the pair moved to Los Angeles in 2018. On the podcast, Burback occasionally serves as judge over such proceedings as the Johnson v Johnson v Johnson case, otherwise known as 'Booger Wall', a pivotal case in Booger Lawhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTpYvTq0mpQ. 
The Gus & Eddy podcast is known for the mantra 'Boys Support Boys' after a running joke in the podcast involving Chris Hansenhttps://popculturalstudies.wordpress.com/2020/01/08/boys-support-boys-is-youtubes-wholesome-meme-of-2019/https://momoroth.com/gusandeddy/#watch. The 'Boys Support Boys' sentiment has become a staple of Burback's channels and the communities surrounding themhttps://www.reddit.com/r/eddyburback/comments/qqm1jj/today_was_a_good_day/https://www.reddit.com/r/eddyburback/comments/mfop24/spread_the_word/, promoting expression of emotion, appreciation and support between people (not strictly boys), counter to traditional gender norms for men.
In 2021, it was revealed that Gus Johnson abandoned his ex girlfriend during her surgery to resolve an ectopic pregnancy (despite the high chance of fatality), downplayed her medical emergencies, constantly insulted her while she was pregnant and was heavily emotionally abusive. Eddy was so disgusted that he ended his friendship with Gus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnnKQmiA4_Q
