Looks like roughly a 20 minute walk from where Joey parked to Union Cafe https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zlq2oHxvFDGQ.kovtEbRC97NQ&usp=sharing
I'm intrigued to know if that was common language for Joey to use on text messages. Also I assume a family member has access to his FaceBook page as there's an update (photo) 14 hours ago.
Local Columbus person here, keep in mind the Arnold Classic is in town and we have huge spikes in human trafficking when it's in town. That is a big problem here.
Also, the 10tv and 6onyourside (the myfox28 link) have conflicting information in the video reports. Channel 6 indicates there was a phone call made to Joey, and that he answered and said "I'm driving." Unless it's been edited, that was in the video report when they uploaded it yesterday.
http://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/family-frantic-after-26-year-old-man-goes-missing (video where the "I'm driving" is mentioned).
Weird. It sounds like he must have left with somebody? A text was sent to a family member that didn't make sense, then a call to him with him saying "I'm driving". And then that's it? And not in his car because his car was where he left it.
That's what is weird - can't get a clear picture because the myfox28 video presents a different picture of events than the 10tv video.
myfox28 video implies they were all at a table, Joey left to go to the bar and get a drink. Approx 10min later, they get a strange text (video doesn't say what it said, only that it was strange) and then his cousins call, and he says "I'm driving."
10tv video implies his cousins were leaving on their own (calling it a night) at same time Joey decided to get a drink at the bar, and then there was the text with the other guy who didn't want to be named. 10tv video doesn't mention call at all.
It's two different sequences of events, and it's frustrating that they don't match up. May seem small but to a potential witness it could mean recollecting or not recollecting.

So that's the first time I heard "and friends". So there were several of them there, milling about, the cousin doesn't remember when he last saw Joey for sure. That makes more sense than Joey getting up to go get a drink at the bar when the three of them were sharing a table and never coming back - a search would have been underway right then. It sounds like this was much more loosely formed. So when they didn't see him, that's okay, he'll drive himself home.
I think he said "I'm driving" because he didn't want to talk on the phone. That's what I say when I get a call I don't want to continue right then.
None of this makes sense, which leads me to think that there is more to the story, or at least to the story of who this young man is. Any previous history of disappearing?
They just showed the text that was sent to the family member and it was jibberish, like a keysmash of characters, at 1:22AM Saturday morning - says Jnhstioj (that's exact from screenshot). They didn't specify which family member got it, if it was the cousin he was with or not.
