He's spot on about you promoting gambling tbf

I believe the point Bleksley is making is a valid one. People want the police to be serious, and diligent on duty. Off duty, fill your boots, do what you please. When the crime rate is soaring in major cities you can see why people don’t like to see police messing round on tax payers money.

It’s a shame Peter was a class guest on the pod and was actually the reason I got into happy hour after seeing a clip, sad it seems the bridges are burned

Jack could have just messaged him privately, but he loves the drama too much

Still feel messaging him privately wouldve been a better start. If he disregards your opinion at that point fair enough, let people know you dont agree. Ive no problem with my friends disagreeing with my opinions but if they went and seemingly attacked me to millions online without a private chat first it just seems a bit snakey tbf

Sometimes shit happens. Even great people and nice people disagree on things. Would love to see you guys re-connect in the future.

He’s right though. End of the day they’re there to do a job not piss about. I don’t need to be connected to the police I just need them to turn up when I ask them to and do their job

Can we talk about how good Stevie's hair looks? What a transformation!

Sorry but Peter is right. We have no respect for the police as it is. Dancing around in high heels and kneeling to BLM is a load of bollocks.

Jack taking the moral high ground of promoting gambling whilst throwing someone under the bus that privately went out their way to look after his mental health sums up his ego these days,

Such a shame - He's by far my favourite guest you've ever had on the Pod - Listened to all 3 of his podcasts on Happy Hour a few times now

I think jack felt the need to reply publicly and the throw away comment of “you’re never coming back on the pod” shows he puts it in a higher regard than anyone else would. I don’t think anyone saw the connection between PBs comments and HH but jacks main character syndrome had to chime in to defend something that didn’t need defending

You should’ve DMd him. No reason for you to say this publicly at all imo

I was a Runner on a show he came on a few times and every time I knew he was coming on I knew it would be a good day, always a laugh and incredibly kind to everyone on set no matter how high up. I get both sides of the debate but I agree the police should be building more trust with communities because I know a lot of us have lost that. Will love to see Peter back on the show at some point.

Handled this with class mate. Like you said calling out those who say stupid shit is important.

This ended better than i thought it would, hope you two do meet in person and have a pint together.

Over the last decade we have lost our community cops. IT wasn`t about needing to be forceful it was about communication and community. I remember going to youth club and our local bobby would turn up. Off duty but there to help out and chat. The job is public relations not just hitting people with batons. Happy to call a college a twat but doesn`t want to be asked directly.

I haven’t seen happy hour in about a year and just listening to jack and stevie I’ve noticed how much growth in maturity and understanding both of them have achieved and it’s great to see. If your reading keep going great work boys !

Weak reason to support gambling… some people would argue there’s method to playing roulette 😂 You’re taking the bag mate and that’s fine 👍🏼💰

I feel there’s a generational difference of views here, which is fine. You have Bleks who is traditionally on the professional side of PD, behaving a specific way as Bleks has seen and knows the consequences of lacklustre policing, while jack is more on the modern view point of seeing a group of people being supported and bringing communities together. It seems like something they can agree to disagree on and isn’t exactly a specifically bad thing. I would point out though, imagine if it was something happened similar to the Manchester arena attack and it came out police were doing these things and taking pictures, there would be a huge uproar of how police aren’t doing their job and being vigilant. Yes it didn’t happen and there is still the need to mix positively with communities and support the public, but it’s a very thin line and for me this disagreement simply comes down to a difference in a traditional policing opinion vs a modern viewpoint of being inclusive to everyone.

Understand the point (when you eventually got there) about community relations and the police. However, would you expect the police at a football game to pop a jersey on and have a good sing song with the fans? Secondly Peter Bleksley championed mental health on your podcast including your own and offered himself for support, yet you come at him on social media where a lot of mental health issues stem from. Maybe you should have just gone for a drink (as you refer to him as mate) and brought it up then with him. I believe having that new shiny studio there has gone to your head a little. Ps. You’re not a household name either

New studios looking good lads, love your pod one of my favourites. Love to see you interview more people and also a huge stand up fan so more comedians would be class ☺️😊

To be fair he's 100% right about the gambling thing. That's not completely on you though I suppose. The government needs to ban gambling adverts. Can't really blame you for taking the cash.

First time I've seen your new podcast setup and it looks like a maccies from the 60s

Jack was completely in the right. Bleksley made his points publicly, why can't he? Anyone saying he's gone 'woke', grow up and stop hiding your points behind a blanket term it makes you look unserious and idiotic.

harsh words are sometimes hard to take and only forgotten by true friends

Peter Bleksley, what a legend he is.

I hate to break it to Jack but he might wanna check which country he lives in because I’m pretty sure it isn’t America

Absolutely no need to respond to him publicly not gonna lie

Stevie's a legend

An honour to know I shared a school with jack, since he has started the pod I’ve been a listener. You’re class jack & the team! Handled this well too! Bleks was a class guest. Hope to hear a fourth episode where you can have a open and healthy debate on the topic you disagree on. Up the irons ⚒️

completely valid, and the way you handled it was correct, as you had such a connection with him having had him on multiple times people may have thought that you shared these archaic views that he has surrounding this, but going public with the response was a good way to ensure to the viewers who trust you and the show that you do not share these opinions. well done.

loving the podcast

New set looks class

Are the full pods available to watch and not just listen to now?

The way he tried to justify taking money from 888 was hilarious 🤣

Jackmate on virtue signalling 🤣🤣🤣

Totally wrong - PB’s right. There’s a reason young people aren’t afraid of our police. There’s no deterrent against serious crime, it’s all about bridging gaps with the community while most of the communities are falling apart with crime. You are deluded.

I’m glad you said something at the time and I hope this can just be water under the bridge for you both in the future.

Jack is the younger one, yet the more mature one. Proud of you. Love that fact that the pod is not hatefull towards nobody, like most lad podcast are. All the best

It's also worth taking into account that LGBTQ+ communities have been historically targeted by police, and so this integration and renewed support is doubly important.

It's like the safety inspector on site dancing with the builders...if your job is to literally be alert and ready to prevent danger in potentially hostile environment. You should be getting the sack for taking a dance break 😂

Yeah should be able to call your friends out but should have done it privately

Peter is right, Police are on the job and shouldn't be doing that while on duty. Jack makes some good points too

Agreed, the set looks wicked! 😎

First time I’ve seen jacks face in ages. Looking Hollywood these days fair play. Also seeing stevie with hair was a shock

He is trained to avoid any potential danger ....I don't think he is at all homophobic just pointing out the fact that police are there to detect and protect the public from any terrorist threats which is hard to do when you're doing the macarena in high heels 😂 perhaps the police should use some officers to do such public relations whilst other officers concentrate on protection

The police are “meant” to be neutral, not supporting this or that, their there to do a job, not piss about.

You gonna call out Ricky Gervais too?

I understand what you’re saying about Poker, it is a skill game (and so is any kind of sports betting), but Poker is often a gateway into gambling addiction as people look at it the same way you do. 888 Poker have casino and sports betting brands which will be cross-sold to Poker players. I have many friends who attribute playing Poker to their gambling addiction and in my opinion, your target audience is highly susceptible to gambling addictions, therefore you should be wary of its promotion.

Feel like if someone is your mate and you have an issue with them , any decent bloke would contact them personally first , before getting at him online

It's a shame that people can't agree to disagree these days without getting personal. At least you took the high ground. Sometimes it's all you can do.

I'm so glad Gundogan is thriving in this podcast side hustle

Handled this well imo, doubt its likely but would be interest to see you 2 debate the origional issue on the pod, like the alex episode from way back

Totally agree with both sides this shows problem with social media..Jack you have publicly called people out on things you don't agree with which is your right Peter dis the same he called out something that in his opinion he didn't agree with...Jack one question would you have said anything if he was not linked to your brand??? I have interviewed Peter for a show if he then puts out opinions I don't agree should I be calling him out?? Hope you both can move on as after meeting Peter his a lovely bloke and the happy hour team your the reason why I pod cast so got massive respect for you both❤

I think this is a classic case of someone taking banter too seriously and another not taking it seriously at all. I think Peter Bleksley legitimately doesn't think anything went wrong but is just having some banter back and forth, especially since Jaack had a go at him first, while Jaack is taking it more like "our friendship is over, I can't believe he's being mean to me". I've had so many old people dig at me in ways (especially guys) that people would find extremely offensive but wouldn't actually think that what they said could be deemed "friendship ending", so this feels the same way to me. I don't think Bleksley actually dislikes Jaack, just disagrees with some of his views and Jaack is taking it waaaaaaayyy too personal

Maybe one of the reasons why people aren’t scared by the police is because they’re doing dances on tik tok. I’m not saying we should be shit scared of them but at least some respect for the authority they have 🤷🏻‍♂️

Considering once Peter himself on Shaun Atwood's pod corrected himself for using a dated term that could be seen as offensive to LGBT people a highly doubt he's homophobic. Plus with the "Poker no, Pornstar yes" comment, I think he's very open to mending fences with that callback to episode 2

Petition to get Ronnie Pickering on the pod

Massive shame to see a good guest go down the drain. Think you guys should have a chat and discuss! Perhaps could see him on here once again.

Don’t see coppers jumping in on chants with the footy lads and “bridging the gap”

I do believe you should of talked to him privately first as you claimed he’s your mate, instead of saying stuff online about him straight way to the public. Just seems like you done it to get likes and attention/drama. I can understand trying to distance this from your podcast. But I don’t see anyone sees him as an ambassador for your podcast and link it to you straight away. Just seems like you could of dealt with it much better.

Surely if you work on the internet you know criticising someone publicly is always going to lead to this. The only reason you spoke publicly so you could signal to world where you stand this issue. Simple police on duty are there for work I highly doubt in their duty for the day was to par take in the festivities.

Peter is correct - police should police and police impartially. I don’t see what the big deal is.

Wow revealing those DMs makes you both look like children. What a mess and an argument over nothing

I'm sure Peter won't hold a grudge he's just highly strung and will quickly push back if challaged. Bet in 1yr he's back on you have a tense few minutes to discuss then all forgotten about

Clout chasing to the max this……🙄😴

My fav episodes are with Peter. He does have his own opinion and I don’t believe it was wrong of you to respond but his actions outside of the pod have no consequences to the happy hour

This was handled so well, all the best to both you and Peter

Coppers are getting paid £12.50/hr to dance in high heels and take selfies

What a duo! ❤

You know when Jack loses the argument when he starts swearing every 3 seconds and brings up the Floyd case as proof for police corruption.

Don’t 888 have a bookmakers and a casino online or am I missing something ?

I was actually so proud of you for that, and imo you were absolutely right to respond publicly because I for one (as a queer woman who has trauma around police) was really relieved and thankful to know you are on the side of the people who are affected by the problems with the police and that you will publicly stand up for what you believe is right ❤

How did I know before watching the video, that this Blecksley fella must have said something that could be construed as not positive towards the alphabet people 🙄

I’m with Peter. He’s 100% right. Kind of up your own arse to think you better than an ex copper on the subject tbh.

When did Ilkay Gundogan join the podcast

you should get Richard McCann on as i have found him to be so honest and forgiving about what has happed in his life from the age of 5. He will inspire my more people who struggle

Jack says in this clip he would never promote casinos but his 888poker code gives you credits for 888casino…..that’s borderline tbh

The police should be impartial they can be friendly at an event without dancing around and painting their patrol cars like rainbows

Ricky gervais cemetery junction is a film that springs to mind.

Protecting the people from violence on a pride march might involve them actually being involved in that community. Heels on for a laugh on tik tok is not practical but a bit of a boogie, sing and a smile can be stopped in a heartbeat where anything goes wrong and they can be back on duty arresting those causing violence. I completely agree with what you're saying Jack. I think you were right to tell him what other people are thinking on the other side of the argument.

handled this really well mate. well in 👍🏻

Sorry but absolutely with Peter Bleksley on this and I suspect the vast majority of the sensible thinking folk of the UK will be also Maybe you should invite the brilliant Douglas Murray on the podcast and get his thoughts on the pride 'cult' Police should police nothing more nothing less

When is the disstrack being dropped?

Jacks the worst kind of lefty

Peter isn’t helping himself

I think you should've told him in private. Your views are not wrong and I agree with you, but doing it publicly will just create unnecessary beef

Peter is correct! What a man🙌

unrelated but Stevie your barnet is looking amazing mate

I appreciate your stance but Peter's right, they need to be professional. I understand they are there to protect the event, but playing around doing things that could inhibit your ability to respond quickly isn't okay.

Quite sad at the thought we might not get a part 4 with Bleks

Icl he’s the only reason I know about this podcast and the sidemen are the only reason I know who jack is

Lol this is like a son and dad arguing

I do find it difficult when Jack says he never promotes gambling. I remember really early Jaack Maate videos where he encouraged all of his audience to click a link and then in the next video said it was all for money. Felt really dodgey. I get he's older etc but don't try play the moral card when you've not got a squeaky clean past.

"I dont think you can take the moral high ground when youve done things yourself" Irony getting a little lost on Jack there huh?

Somehow I only just saw all of this! I love Beksley however I fully back jack for his tweet, I personally felt supported as a queer woman

There’s corruption in the police force in every country. Whilst I agree with Jack I also just don’t respect police for the fact that instead of protecting and serving which is their job. They act as though they are the law. That’s the problem with them and why no one feels a connection too them.

You handled this well Jack, from what you said anyway.

Gundogan and ginger Rylan 😂🦷🦷
