At some point around 2016, Burback rebranded his channel to Eddy Burback His early videos consisted primarily of sketch comedy, and later his content became primarily focused on comedic commentary of popular culture and film. As of May 10 2022, Eddy Burback has 1,000,000 subscribers.
The Gus & Eddy Podcast[]
In September 2017, Burback started a podcast titled Ok I'll Talk with his friend and fellow YouTuber Gus Johnson[3], which later became the Gus & Eddy podcast[4][5], 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 Law[6].
The Gus & Eddy podcast is known for the mantra 'Boys Support Boys' after a running joke in the podcast involving Chris Hansen[7][8]. The 'Boys Support Boys' sentiment has become a staple of Burback's channels and the communities surrounding them[9][10], 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.[11]

Burback started a third YouTube channel in February 2021 with his fraternal twin Tony, called Burback. The channel features the brothers commentating on nostalgic video games from their childhood in a comedic style[12].
