Ranking Historical Events of the Last 25 Years

from That's Old News · host That's Old News

What do the release of Shrek, a turkey puppet singing at the Eurovision, and two tone-deaf Irish "artists" with too much free time and hairspray have in common? Well they make it onto our tier list of course! These 3 along with 27 more events of the last 25 years have made an impact on our world in one way or another, and today the gang is going to rank them from S tier all the way down to F tier! Usually when writing about history, the last 20 years can't be written about as it doesn't qualify as "historical" just yet so what about some events that will one day make its way into history curriculums? Tune in this week to find out!What do you think of your tier list? Do you agree with us, or will you fight tooth and nail to move some of our rankings either higher or lower? Let us know, and any suggestions you may have for what didn't make it onto the list!This episode was hosted by Arron Keegan, Hayley O'Connor, and Conor Daly. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.========Chapters:(00:00) Intro(07:28) Paris Terror Attacks(12:48) Y2K Bug(20:12) Lelli Kelly Shoes(24:46) Assassination of Osama bin Laden(30:25) Deepwater Horizon(39:00) Michael Jackson's Death(43:33) US Withdrawal from Afghanistan(48:48) PlayStation 2(53:15) Shrek(55:51) Death of Gay Byrne(01:03:17) Edward Snowden(01:10:27) Swine Flu(01:14:32) The Celtic Tiger(01:23:10) Malaysia Flight 370(01:30:08) Jedward(01:32:14) Tayto Chocolate Bar(01:36:48) YouTube Launching(01:42:10) Pausing Live TV(01:46:47) Ireland at Euro 2016(01:53:10) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident(01:58:25) 2010 Chilean Miner Rescue(02:04:31) Hardy Bucks(02:10:00) The Arab Spring(02:18:36) New York City Synagogue Tunnel Incident(02:26:44) Gangnam Style(02:30:50) Xi Jinping President for Life(02:37:43) Isabelle Dinoire First Partial Face Transplant(02:42:37) F*$# You Deputy Stagg!(02:45:59) Dustin the Turkey at the Eurovision(02:48:16) Nintendo Wii(02:53:30) Conclusion
