Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Sure Report on ninety six a FM. Eminem has
taken legal action against the Australian beach where company swim
Shady him he reckons the name is too similar do
you think to his famous and trademarked pseudonym slim Cities.

(00:23):
Just what the real Slimy?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Please stand up please.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Eminem's lawyers accused the Sydney brand of creating.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
A false association with the rapper, whose name, of course
is Marshall Mathers.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
The Sydney based company launched two years ago selling portable
beach umbrellas, swim bags and other beach accessories. Eminem trademarked
the name slim Shady way back in nineteen ninety nine
with the release of his eponymous album, and his lawyers
argue that the name has become exclusively associated with his
rap career.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Might have been worth doing a check before picking that name.
I think, oh, I think they knew what they were doing.
Push it, see if we can get away with it.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Keith Urban just performed at Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt's holiday party,
which he hosted at President Trump's Marra Lago resort. I
believe President Trump was the intimate private set featured Urban
and a small backing band doing his hits and a
few covers like Bob Marley's Is This Love, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Perhaps surprisingly, Chapel Rohan's Pink Pony Club on the Stage
is here.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I think that might have been done for the billionaires kids.
Speaking of Keith, apparently after his split from Nicole Kidman,
Tom Cruise is feeling vindicated for saying that Keith was
just Kidman's rebound guy.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
The arrogance of this man knows no bound. Well, he
has an honorary oscar.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Now you see, dude, it was a nearly twenty year
long rebound if that's the case, honestly, ah. Now, the
Cambridge Dictionary has announced it's word of the year.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It is parasocial.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Parasocial is defined as when a person feels like they
have a relationship with a famous person despite not knowing
them personally. Evidently it's been partly inspired by Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelsey's engagement and some people certainly did have
very strong emotional reactions to someone they don't know from
Adam you know. A chief editor at the Cambridge Dictionary,

(02:28):
Colin Macintosh, says parasocial stood out in twenty twenty five
for several reasons. Public interest in the term increased massively,
as they could see from their data the number of
searches for it in the Cambridge Dictionary as well as
on Google spiped on several occasions. He added, it also
captures the zeitgeist of twenty twenty five. I love that word, zeitgeist.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
That should be the word of all the years.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it captures the zeitgeist of twenty twenty five as
the public's fascination with celebrities and their lifestyles continues to
reach new heights.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Parasocial trying to whack it into a sentence today.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
So if I look up parasocial, will it say in
brackets see also stalker.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, I think it's not. It's not to that level.
It's the rung before run before stalker.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay, slight, it's allowing stalker ish sort of sort of vibe.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Without without the evil.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, all right, all right, parasocial parasocial it's a far
nicer term. There you go.
