What are people's op on Joey... and does that change after listening to this?

Two sides to every story I'm sure, but it's hard for me to imagine J-Mart or AC acting like that (two guys I prefer over him when they were all in the same class).
The Shop
I can’t stand to listen to him talk.
I did that with Webb on Osbornes podcast and it certainly didn't make me like him more.
Wa wa wa why can't Joey be like everyone else.
The kid can ride what else is there to know.
Me thinks perhaps it’d do him some good to change his world view a bit. Helluva lot of they did this, they did that. Even if it is the case to him, it does no good to think about it, much less blast it on a pod, especially since his point on each question basically came off like: “Hey, I got a shit sandwich”
I know I’ve heard he thinks he’s kinda damned if he does or damned if he doesn’t but fuck man, Anton even seemed to try lead him away... if he plays it back and doesn’t hear it then ok.
Man phase of posting here Jay but there’s an ocean between a robot with no personality and how Joey is.
Short version from the thread: Joey and others went to Hooters in 2016 after he won Hangtown 250mx and was not exactly respectful toward the waitress. Don't want to say much more because I cannot verify the details, but I waited tables in college and have respect for people in the food industry.
I remember way back when Joey was still on KTMs (2014) and Anderson had won the 250 West SX title, he went on the Pulp Show pretending to be JA because JA had come down with laryngitis and could not go on. Joey was hilarious, and I think he needs to find a way to get back to taking things a little more lightly.
He explained the last Moto of the Monster Energy Cup, from gate pick to move over to the relationship between he and Tomac after. Per Joey, he was not paid a cut of the million dollars the way everyone assumed. Said with the way things played out in the months that followed he regrets the decision and would not do it again. That’s discussed 33 minutes in all the way to the the commercial break.
The second half talks about his relationship with Adam (cordial but not close friends), how it felt to have the 2020 team announcement come midway through the summer, and what he plans to do if a contract isn’t signed by Monster Cup or the three international races he is on the entry list for.
I’ll type out the key parts for a post on the site tomorrow for those that would rather read.
Pit Row
He mentioned eli never thanked him for moving over at monster cup.
He mentioned he knew all year he knew AC was moving to kawi 450 and all of his work he put in was a waste and only to help AC
Edit: joey confirmed kawasaki made the decision to get AC and Eli ready for supercross rather than going to des nations
Edit Again: after listening to it all, he comes off very bitter and sounds like hes got a case of the victim mentality. Thats not what makes champions. Also he sounded like he was elis biggest fan and was mad eli didnt give him attention.
I saw him liking tweets say stuff along the lines of "Fuck Kawi for letting JS go, blah blah.." Way to burn a bridge after you knew would be a 1 year contract...
Was weird how they would offer him the difference and then back out like he said: "Why even say you were going to do it?"
Being offered a 1-year contract is a pretty obvious sign you're keeping the seat warm for someone else. He got a chance that many others didn't. Now, if a factory ride doesn't come through, what is he willing to do to show the teams he is the rider that they want?
Based on his performance this season I believe he did an outstanding job. He definitely deserves a ride and would be hard pressed not to see him on a team somewhere.
