Tim speculates about Trevor's future decline into darkness and cocaine in the valley, comparing his trajectory to David Dobrik, who peaked early with his Vlog Squad fame and pizzeria and has now faded.
- Tim asks Trevor about his "back nine" — whether his life and career will get darker as he ages, hitting the valley.
- Trevor jokes about potentially getting into cocaine in the valley because there's nothing else to do out there.
- Scenario: drunk in a donut place, random guys recognize Trevor and harass him, he splashes coffee in their eyes and walks away.
- Tim calculates Trevor is on "hole number six" of his back nine with about three more years of viral relevance left.
- Dobrik now runs a pizzeria on Sunset Boulevard after being positioned to have it all.
- Tim says Dobrik came to his house and is a sweetheart, but it's cruel how quickly his peak passed.
- Trevor's special came out last year and he immediately wondered what comes next — that dopamine hit creates a void.
- Tim questions whether most people ending their lives have had Amazon specials — probably not.
- People without hope for a better future are at risk; influencers sometimes kill themselves too.
