John and Sarah on Biden's exit, the new programme for Government, what it's like to need a hospital in Ireland today, and the heroic achievement of Bonnie Blue.

In this week's episode of The Long Game podcast with Jason Osborne and Ben Scallan, the lads discuss foreign money being channelled into Irish NGOs, Eamon Ryan meeting with Extinction Rebellion to discuss Ireland's energy policy, and more.

As 2025 opens, John and Sarah lay out some predictions for the year, ask why so many "bright young thing" liberals fail, and discuss the ongoing fallout around grooming gangs in the UK.

Welcome to Ep. 1 of The Long Game with Gript: a podcast where Jason Osborne and Ben Scallan share the week’s top political and cultural stories through young, Irish, conservative eyes.

This week: DCU vs. Andrew Tate, UK grooming gangs, State-funded sex work advocates, and more.

John and Sarah review the year by reviewing John's good and terrible predictions that he made in January. But before that: The lawyer who traded pictures for money on twitter, and the Taoiseach who traded Ceann Comhairles for power.

John and Sarah discuss the exertions of porn star Lily Phillips, the merits of keeping kids in the dark about Santa Claus, the return of Katherine Zappone, the exit of Eoin Hayes, and some stuff about transgenders.

John and Sarah review the election, look forward to five more years of Micheál Martin, look at the strength of "vote left transfer left", and also muse on the Toy Show, Hunter Biden, and the tragic case in New Ross.

John and Sarah attempt (poorly) to predict the election, and also discuss Dee Devlin's statement on Conor McGregor, Assisted Dying in the UK, and should dirty jokes from 17 years ago get you suspended?

John and Sarah bid farewell to a beloved colleague, and then turn their attention to the wheels falling off the Fine Gael bus. What went wrong - and could politicians across all parties get punished for an utterly insipid campaign?

On Michael Dwyer's death.
