WE'RE BACK! That's right Marcus and Matt have returned from their holidays armed with anecdotes about wasps, kebab shops and licking batteries.

E

The end is nigh. Of summer that is, not anything else (although the world is looking a little shakey at the minute) and we discuss our memories of going back to school and even provide a few tips too.

E

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.

S1 Ep 37LYE 37: "Everyone Wants Me To Make A Diss Track On Alfie Deyes"

E

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.

S1 Ep 36LYE 36: Is It Wrong To Post Fake Instagram Photos?

E

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.

E

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.
