Laura Clery: Social Media Is the New Drug And We’re All Addicted | DSH #1567
13 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What inspired Laura Clery's journey into social media and comedy?
Sobriety brought us together. Addiction tore us apart. But spirituality, I'm super into. I think it's innate. I think it's within all of us. And when we deny ourselves of spiritual practice, of believing in some sort of power greater than ourselves, we're depressed and anxious and probably have some sort of mental disorder. Money, it does not fill the hole in the soul. Not at all. Right?
We're not meant to be alone. We're not meant to be isolated. We're meant to have people around us in whatever capacity, even introverts.
Yeah.
You're meant to have whatever, your loved one, your family, a sense of community. And when we shift our perception from what can I give rather than what can I get, everything opens up.
Okay, now we're started. We got Laura here, host of the Idiot Podcast. We are in Las Vegas.

Crazy.
Yeah.
Chapter 5: What insights does Laura share about the impact of social media addiction?
Is that the main thing for you right now? Your podcast? Idiot Podcast?
Yeah, I would say so. I would say that's the main thing.
You're a podcaster now.
Isn't that weird?
It's crazy, right? I know. It's a weird lifestyle.
It's just kind of a thing to do.

Chapter 6: What are Laura's thoughts on content monetization and the future of platforms like OnlyFans?
It's in right now. You get respect for it almost.
Yeah.
I feel like you used to get bullied for it.
Did you get bullied for podcasting?
No, mine's two years old, so I joined late, to be honest. But I feel like they didn't get the respect they used to five, ten years ago.
Well, it's like daytime TV. And I feel like it's a good way to consistently monetize.

Chapter 7: How does Laura define happiness and fulfillment in her life?
If you're a content creator, it's smart to have a podcast. Whereas my main source of income pre-podcast was video monetization. And that can be so... Or brand deals, even. Some months it's great, other months it's not.
Chapter 8: What plans does Laura have for her upcoming book and live show tour?
And so it's smart. And also just interesting to talk... to people and learn things. Like, that's cool. We just get to have conversations with interesting people.
Yeah, yesterday I had on a billionaire, a trans-channeler. Trans-channeler.
What is that?
So she channels while she's not present.
She channels only trans people?
No, trans.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she wasn't trans, but she was from Bali. She flew in, channeled on the podcast for 10, 15 minutes, and that was interesting. And then right after her, I had on a billionaire. So just like you meet all sorts of people.
And were you like, give me some of your money?
