In this 'DVD extra', we are joined by our friend, super knowledgeable and insightful pop culture writer Holly B, who takes us sad old deeply-uncool men on a journey through the weird world and arcane lore of the artist formerly known as Kanye West and now known as "that guy who looooooves Hitler". I don't know that we end up wiser exactly... but we certainly end up better informed and massively entertained. Or at least we would be entertained if everything about this weren't so awful.

0:00.9 | Do you think there's ever been an example of something like this happening before? |
0:08.8 | Someone who was this well known, just completely committing reputational suicide like this? |
0:17.4 | Because I've been talking about it with my family. My dad mentioned David Eike, but David Eike was |
0:24.5 | never a celebrity like Kanye. No. That's the one that sort of immediately springs to mind, but |
0:32.4 | that's very British and it's very television and it's very 1980s or 90s, whatever it was, |
0:39.8 | it's very local compared to Kanye. I think J.K. Rowling's milkshake ducking, |
0:47.1 | that might be the closest I can think of. J.K. Rowling, it's more gradual. This is one of the things |
0:54.1 | I've been reading up a little bit about Kanye and it's not quite as sudden as it looks from |
0:59.2 | the outside. Clearly this has been boiling over for a while. It has been boiling over for a while, |
1:06.5 | but I can say it has got exponentially worse in the past couple of months. |
1:16.4 | Since the divorce, his public profile has really flatlined, but it was clear he was, |
1:28.9 | I think it's fair to say, struggling for a long time before that, and also there's plenty of |
1:36.6 | extremely red flaggy personality traits, shall we say. I think one of the things that's going to |
1:45.0 | be on the mind of anyone who cares about Kanye is how much of this was going to happen anyway, |
1:49.8 | like how much of this is mental illness and how much of this is him being an asshole. It doesn't |
1:55.1 | really matter that much because it's only to do with what's in his head. |
2:01.6 | Yeah, and how much of it is him falling under the influence of this particular set of people, |
2:09.7 | because it's pretty clear to me that he's not just, he's been anti-Semitic for a while. |
2:15.9 | This story is about him going back quite a way, but what he's doing now is coming out with stuff |
2:22.6 | that you can tell it comes straight from Fuentes. Like he says to Alex Jones, |
2:27.2 | well, Obama killed Palestinians. That's right out of the fucking neo-Nazi prison to give a |
2:33.2 | shit about Palestinians' playbook. Yeah, absolutely. There is actually one other rapper |
