Lower Your Expectations With Marcus Butler

YouTube Red is dead, long live YouTube Premium. That's right, this week on Lower Your Expectations we discuss the shiny new subscription service that YouTube is offering its users and what exactly its impact will be upon creators and users alike. Elsewhere there is "scotch egg chat" which is competing with the classic "big dick chat" in being the most entertaining "chat" we've ever hosted on this podcast. Matt also reveals his views on online gambling including his own experiences with it and the big question reveals our most unique morning routine habits.

20 security staff for 5,000 people..insufficient food or water on site... an event cancelled midway through the day. Surely not another scandal involving a YouTuber? Unfortunately, yes. In the wake of the fantastic Shane Dawson series "The Truth about..." where he makes a post cancelled Tanacon series determined to get to the ugly truth behind the demise of the failed convention we discuss the failings of the event, what could have been done differently and why we believe Shane Dawson is the MVP of YouTube. Elsewhere we discuss the merits of watching football at home or in a public place, our favourite childhood playground games and Marcus' infatuation with Zelda.Also, did we mention that It's Coming Home?Subscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButler Follow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information

"We have an announcement to make..." we've all watched those videos where YouTubers, usually whilst having a bit of a cry, let their audiences know that they are no longer dating X and that X will no longer feature in their videos anymore. In this episode of Lower Your Expectations Matt poses the question why do they feel the need to do this and if they didn't would anyone actually be offended? Marcus makes some frank observations on the reason(s) why people in the digital eye need to make their audiences aware that a relationship has unfortunately ended and elsewhere in the episode (somehow?!?!) the guys end up debating whether or not human kind managed to scale the moon. Because who doesn't love a random segue right?Subscribe on iTunes: iTunes.com/LowerYourExpectationsSubscribe on Android: SubscribeOnAndroid.com/MarcusButler.net/rssSubscribe to Marcus on YouTube: YouTube.com/MarcusButler Follow @MarcusButler & @MattViney12 wherever you can find us!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and o

IGTV is here. But what is it? How will it affect the digital space and most importantly (obviously) what do we think about it? If you've ever pondered the answers to these questions then you're in luck because this week on Lower Your Expectations not only do we answer them but we also discuss the reasons why Marcus no longer reads comments on his YouTube video and Matts life changing experience watching the England beat Tunisia in the World Cup.Subscribe 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!—————  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Raheem Sterling caused a circus within the press when it was revealed he had a tattoo of a gun. Accusations came at him of being an advocate for gun violence and glamorising gun culture but after the deeply personal meaning behind the tattoo emerged it spun the story on its head but left a huge question: Should the general public have a say on what a celebrity imprints on their body?Elsewhere Marcus does some follow up from his family holiday in St Lucia and "Big Dick Chat" leaves the guys ranting about people who use public changing rooms as an opportunity to flaunt your length.Subscribe 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!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What happens when an influencer changes their appearance completely? Marcus found out this week when he had a short hair cut which resulted in shockwaves amongst his fanbase as they demanded a reason why aswell as growing it back (as if hair responds to demands). But it raises an interesting issue: why are fans allowed to say whatever they like about people in the public eye and would they say it in the public if they saw them in the flesh? Elsewhere Matt gets married and reveals all about his wedding day and the stag do and finally the big question reveals what the guys would like to be preserved doing if they died suddenly.All killer no filler on Lower Your Expectations.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Little known rapper Kanye West has been pretty forthcoming in his "expressions" on Twitter recently... is it because he has an album being released imminently or is it just because he wanted to let the world know he likes ping pong? Who knows. But it serves as a talking point on this episode of Lower Your Expectations as it begs the question "What can and can't you say on the internet?". Elsewhere a polarising conspiracy shows up in the big question and Marcus reveals what it was like to get a tattoo that took seven hours to complete!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.

When you think of the word "famous" I'm sure it's with the preconception of money and happiness. But what if that isn't the full picture? This week we explore the darker side of being in the public eye and the pressures that come with that. Elsewhere there is a fifteen minute odyssey of an introduction to the episode where we dive into being sweaty, getting manicures, etiquette of having a hair cut and why Marcus won't have his feet massaged.

You could say Joe Wicks has been a bit busy recently. Not only has his first TV show just been released (Joe Wicks: The Body Coach) last year he broke the Guiness World Record for the largest high-intensity interval training class a feat achieved on stage at Hyde Park and on top of all of this he has been inspiring the nation to eat healthier and exercise more with his "Lean in 15" mantra.
