In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a theory that’s getting a lot of buzz online: before Nicepool, there was “Dude.”

A viral Medium article by Eumonia Dike suggests that the character Dude in Free Guy may not have been random comic relief—but instead a pointed caricature, raising questions about Ryan Reynolds’ creative control, on-screen satire, and whether certain characters are meant to send a message rather than just land a joke.

We break down:

Who “Dude” really was in Free Guy

Why some believe the character mirrors real-life Hollywood power dynamics

The growing conversation around comedy, control, and who gets turned into the punchline

As always, this episode looks at patterns, context, and unanswered questions—not accusations.

Let’s get into it.

In today’s Daily Dose of Dana, we’re digging into the moments when Hollywood’s glossy surface starts to crack — and the stories behind the discomfort 👀

Author Colleen Hoover reportedly felt uneasy attending the *It Ends With Us* premiere, sparking fresh conversation about behind-the-scenes tension and why not everyone was smiling on the red carpet.

We also unpack the eyebrow-raising chatter around Nicola Peltz and reports of a billionaire “allowance” — what’s rumor, what’s reality, and why this story keeps circulating in Hollywood circles.

And finally, a serious and sobering development: a victim connected to Matt Laue comes forward, reigniting discussions about accountability, power, and what justice looks like years later.

As always, we separate fact from spin, talk about what this *actually* says about Hollywood culture, and ask the uncomfortable questions others won’t.
