Seemed pretty apparent to me that the dad was preoccupied trying to turn Mikey into a star. Unfortunately for the kid, I think a lot of programs will see character as a red flag and you can't blame them, I would too.
I think a lot of parents/kids now are a little too focused on the skills and not enough on how to handle the moments where your skills aren't carrying you. This would be a perfect opportunity for Mikey to prove himself by putting his head down, working hard, buying into a program, doing the little things right, but is that programmed into a kid who has been an Instagram celebrity since 6th grade? Who knows
