Yes he's distanced from joey and called him out recently iirc. They weren't "FRIENDS", Joey would come on and everyone would treat him like SHIT. They peppersprayed him in the face, made him bathe in a tub of milk, etc. This is revisionist history that ethan was like great friends with joey. Yes, joey came on the show, got GRILLED and called out for all his bs, then was literally called a living meme to his face. They treated joey as a sub-human. justin roiland literally pepper sprayed joey in the face an dit was the only way they'd let joey on the show.

People are acting like Ethan and JOey were close friends and ethan went to joey's wedding or something. They're getting joey mixed up with the other racist, jontron, which is the wedding ethan went to lul
