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.
