And when I found out they were streaming Chapel’s show, I got angry. How did they know – how did they not know? So you know what I did? I called them and I told them this made me feel bad. And you want to know what they did? They agreed that they would take it off their platform so I could feel better. That’s why I f * ck with Netflix. Because they have paid me my money, they are going to do what they say, and they have gone beyond what you can expect from a businessman. They did something because they thought I was wrong.
