Lower Your Expectations With Marcus Butler

It's that time of year again when Marcus & Matt look back at the drama 2017 had to offer including fake beef with some A list YouTubers, being a little too merry at Vidcon and disstracks... lots and lots of disstracks. Elsewhere Marcus reveals what his target for 2017 were and whether or not he hit them as well as some of his targets for 2018. It also seems very apt that hitting our milestone of 50 episodes will be the last one released for a little while but check back in 2018 for a shiny new revamped Lower Your Expectations and who knows... maybe there will be some new segments to go with it ;)Thanks for the support guys!Check out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFollow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!—————Sound by Adam Durbridge  See acast.com/pr

If you go for a night out clubbing these are a few of things you would typically expect to see: people having one too many shandies, hearing some awful music from the 2010 period (here's looking at you David Guetta) and witnessing some dodgy kebab mistakes. In Berlin, however, Marcus reveals a few of the sordid details from a particularly "unique" night at the infamous Berghain club including being propositioned for a threesome. Elsewhere Matt reveals how he was snubbed by both MC Grindah and Chabuddy G at a People Just Do Nothing masterclass at BAFTA and the boys discuss ways of not going too overboard with food and drink choices over the festive period. Check out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFollow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!—————Sound by Adam Dur

Live from Hello World in Birmingham comes the Lower Your Expectations podcast where we faced the public for the first time. Helping us survive our live recording were two very special guests one being Marcus' older sister Tash who dropped in to chat about Marcus' first foray into YouTube and our second guest was Elize, a thirteen year old fan of the podcast who told us how YouTube is portrayed at school and she also helped Marcus answer a very tricky big question.Check out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFollow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!—————Sound by Adam DurbridgeBig Question - http://www.nme.com/eats-and-beats/kfc-twitter-spice-girls-herb-2151933  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Actor, writer, stand up comedian, occasional horse rider Jack Whitehall joins us on the podcast this week which makes it very difficult for us to stick to the title of the show. In a sprawling chat we managed to cover the time Jack was spying on Marcus eating breakfast, YouTube and why Bournemouth was the scene of Jack's worst ever stand up gig. He also fills us in on his two Netflix shows "Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father" and "Jack Whitehall: At Large" what goes into filming these shows and what happened when his Father needed a massage in Bangkok.Elsewhere Marcus reveals a story involving his best friend that is worthy of being #cute and Matt tells Jack about the time he ushered him to his seat whilst interning at a production company.Check out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFo

That's right, you read the title correctly we have managed to coerce the one and only Simon Kaye into appearing on an episode of Lower Your Expectations!

We also discuss the impact Marcus' blossoming YouTube career had on his parents and whether or not they thought Marcus was making the right decision when he decided to quit university and a full time job to try YouTube.Check out MoreMarcus on YouTube for the best of this week’s episode, at YouTube.com/MoreMarcusSubscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButlerFollow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!—————Sound by Adam Durbridge  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Awful things happen around the world it feels like at a daily rate and it's becoming more and more difficult to really express how we feel on social media about these events. But what is it like to be an influencer with a fan base of over six million people hanging on your every word when these disasters occur? That is the question we explore in this weeks Lower Your Expectations. Elsewhere, Marcus gives a "how to create YouTuber merchandise 101" and we reveal our favourite guilty pleasure foods.

Diss tracks feel like the new 1000 degree knife challenge (remember that?!?!) and where one was taking apart the things you love with absolute precision for the sake of a few views the other was a simple process of heating your knife to 1000 degrees and cutting butter. But why has this phenomenon swept across YouTube like a tsunami of insults and fake drama? Elsewhere there is a big question inspired debate about our best and most hated films that everyone loves and Matt's performance playing football is brutally analysed by Marcus with the help of his mate Dave. It's all here in another mediocre (we've lowered the expectations for you) episode of this decent podcast.

It's the year 2017 so of course our big debate covers social media and posting unobtainable pictures on Instagram. Is there a problem with that or is it all just fun and games, that's what we try and determine in this weeks Lower Your Expectations. Also on the agenda Marcus discusses other people's reactions when he told them he was hiring someone to help with videos (and eventually host a podcast with) and whether he believes other YouTubers will follow suit.

It's time to lower those expectations once again because we're back with a brand new episode of this wonderful* podcast and this week we're diving into the world of fans.

You could receive it on the street or even in your own home but you're most likely to encounter it on the internet. That's right, we're talking about hate. After receiving his first bout of full blown hate on a YouTube video, Matt's Spanish isn't up to scratch (apparently), Marcus and Matt discuss how it feels to have negative messages thrown at them and ponder why the haters dish it out in the first place.
