Show Sample for 12/26/25: YEAR IN REVIEW 2025 W/ DAVID OATES

There are several words-of-year for 2025: Oxford has "rage bait" after last year's "brain rot." Webster has "slop." Dictionary.com has "67," which is a diverse meme.

Tonight, Ryan Gable fills in for Clyde Lewis and talks with the founder of Reverse Speech, David Oates. Listen to Ground Zero, M-F, 7-10pm, pacific on groundzeroplus.com.
