61. That is not how Johnson presented the story of how they came to use the app

As I recall Maga Mike had an app that alerted him if his kid viewed porn. This is VERY COMMON, and in fact, it's responsible behavior for parents to keep tabs on their minor children in this (and many other ways) when it comes to their online interactions. Apparently the kid found out and like a smartass challenged his dad to give him the same app to monitor his dad in the same way to make sure HE wasn't viewing smut.

Weird, admittedly, but if one goes by the assumption that dad doesn't view porn (or at least isn't going to get caught doing so by his kid), and says 'okay, sure, I'll set an example by proving to you that I do not watch porn', I wouldn't react to learning that by thinking CPS needs to be called. First of all it's a father and son which is a little different than father and daughter, and also, this kid was not, as I recall, like 12 or something, he was 15 or 16.

Again, weird, but really not anyone else's business but large caveat here that's ASSUMING that what they said about it was presented honestly, and the son is not in fact getting 'porn watching tips' from dad thru this app as some seem to assume.

Don't get me wrong, I think the dude is creepy and weird, and he sucks big time, but this particular bit of ephemera is way low in my list of why I hate Maga Mike
