Funny Over Everything! w/ Luenell

Lunell, a comedian and voice actress, shares insights into her career and personal life during an episode of *Dope As Usual*. She discusses the craft of voice acting, emphasizing its freedom from traditional performance constraints and the detailed editing required for different media formats like film and TV. She also reflects on the decline of Oakland, expressing concern over the loss of local culture, sports, and community, and suggesting that revitalization requires political will and public investment. Lunell recounts her professional journey, including a recent short special produced by Chris Rock, and shares personal anecdotes about her lifestyle, such as her strict house policies, her experience with privacy, and her views on community dynamics. She touches on her anti-establishment mindset, including her refusal to engage with public pools or jacuzzis due to distrust, and her cautious approach to social interactions. The conversation also includes a humorous reflection on drug culture, from past experiences with mescaline and cocaine to nostalgia for 70s-era drugs like black beauties and tie sticks. Lunell further shares her admiration for figures like Mario Lopez and Adam Sandler, and her interest in comedy that crosses cultural and demographic boundaries. The episode concludes with a nod to sponsor State Farm, promoting home and auto bundling as a smart financial move. Throughout, Lunell balances personal storytelling with sharp social commentary, offering a candid and often humorous take on modern life, culture, and community.

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doom-scrolling? Smart move. Another smart move? Getting help from one of State Farm's 19,000 local agents when you choose to bundle home and auto. Bundling. Just another way to save with the personal price plan. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. Sorry. I said it was going to be wild. Not that, I mean, hey, these days. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Dope As Usual podcast. My name is Thomas, Dope As Yolo, whatever you want to call me. This is my co-host, Marty O'Neill. What's up, guys? What's up, guys? Welcome back to the show. Today we have a special guest, actress, comedian, voice actress. Welcome, Lunell. Yeah, exactly what's going on right now. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Appreciate you. I mean, everybody knows who you are, and doing research about you, I didn't realize how much you've actually done, how much stuff you've been doing, and you're doing voice acting. How is that compared to having to clock in and be on camera? Voice acting is the dream. That's the goal, because you don't have to get dressed. You don't have to do makeup. You don't even have to memorize. It's good to be familiar. You know, I mean, you know, because you're doing voiceover acting, you're doing it to a visual, you know what I mean? And so, of course, any time you do ADR, which is like if you said something that was low, and you got to go back in the studio and say it a little louder, or when you're filming and they're going to change it from the movies to airline mode to TV mode, you have to change the fucks to darn, the darns to damn. Oh, wow. You know what I'm saying? You do those? Yeah. On TV, I always thought it was just some random dude doing those. No, no, no. In your own, like you're in a movie, and you say, get this fucking shit out of here in the movie. Then when they want to play it on the plane, they may not use the fucking shit out of here. They may use this doggone shit out of here. And you have to do that, too? Yeah, you have to do it a couple of times. Oh, so they do it right then. In case for TV, in case for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Prepped. Now, that's like non-stoner stuff. Or for animation, you have to act it to the cartoon, because it's usually a big screen, and you can see what you're. Like in Mrs. Doubtfire. It's voice acting. It's voice acting, but you don't have to be dressed up, and I like that. Yeah, getting paid to just talk, and not have to be on stage, hold a mic, or be on camera. Not just talk, you have to voice act. Like if your director says, you know, do this one more time, do it a little bit more aggressive, you have to be able to change that. So you're still doing it, but just nobody's looking at you. Yeah, and you don't have to get dressed up. Yeah, that's kind of awesome. For the third time. You do not have to get dressed up, which is great. Awesome. All right, I have another question. I did not realize you were. I'm from Merced, up north. Okay. Okay, and I know. Question is about Oakland. So growing up in Oakland, what happened to Oakland recently? I used to go there a lot, and now it just feels like everything's leaving. The sports are gone. They're taking all the sports teams. What happened, and what's the fix? I don't know, because I actually haven't lived in Oakland for over 20 years now. I was raised there, and the Oakland that I was raised in, is way different than the Oakland that it is now. And I don't know what the fix is, because, you know, every city wants to present their downtown as the mecca. This is great downtown. But the rest of the city, we're about to blighten the rest of the city. So I don't know if it starts in the political arena, or if it's just the people have gone to shit. You know, they don't have anything for kids to do in Oakland, and all the sports are gone, and it's like they sort of want to wipe it clean and start it all over again. That's what I said yesterday. You know, wipe it clean and start over. Because, honestly, San Francisco, for what, five years straight, was turning into the same thing. It is the same thing, and, you know, and the Tenderloin and stuff like that. Yeah, I was just there the other day. It's still bad. It's still bad, man. Yeah, it's like zombie town. Exactly. It's like watching Skid Row, except nobody cares. The Living Dead? No, not The Living Dead. Walking Dead. It's like The Walking Dead. Walking Dead in the Fillmore and stuff like that. You used to go down there as a kid, and, like, you have 40 bucks, but you can go hang out in San Francisco. And then now it's like, you're going to get robbed. You're not going to San Francisco. You're not going to drive, get your car broken into. I just don't know what the answer is. I think it's a change in leadership and put the money into good things. Yes. You know what I mean? Because if I can get, like, 30 Mexicans to go clean up a street, the government can provide us with some money to get 100 Mexicans to go clean up a street. Right. I'm just talking shit. We were talking about those sprints. Spencer Pratt AI videos about L.A. the other day. Did you see those? Please don't ask me about Spencer Pratt. Please. It's not. We don't have opinions. You mean the hills? Yeah, I didn't know the same guy. I had no idea. Oh, he was such a dick on the TV show, and he remained. You know, why would he not be a dick now? Why would we think that Spencer Pratt? Never mind. Me and Kathy Griffin, we'll talk about him. We talk about him. Done. Yeah. That's fair. All right. But yeah, his AI videos definitely made me go, it's possible. You can clean it up. All right. We'll see. Not you, but we'll see. Yeah, not me. It's possible. Yeah, yeah. Okay, you are working on, or you have dropped a lot of stuff recently, and the most recent was at Chappelle's home team? Yeah, home team. And then I saw that your last special was produced by Chappelle also, so you have this, I guess I would call it a run that hasn't stopped yet. How do you feel about this latest one? It's a lot shorter than a special. Yeah, it's like 23 minutes, 32 minutes, 32 minutes, which I don't know why. I thought it was going to be an hour, but whatever they say, I didn't get paid like it was 32 minutes, I'll tell you that. And I just was, I was real happy with it, though. Here you go, by the way. If you want to smoke that, feel free. Well, I don't mind if I do. Yeah, just to have Chappelle even know you, let alone produce something for you. Yeah. It was a flex, and I'm real happy about it. I think it was good. You seen it? I saw part of it. Me and Marty, what were we sitting here yesterday watching? Did you start it from the beginning? Of course. So remember when it started in the airport? So see, we had to fly to Atlanta, and that was an airplane simulator, and those were actors. So he paid extra people to even do my intro thing, you know? Two sec. Would it be too expensive to go to an airport? We did that, too, because the interiors, we had to buy, like, a ticket to just anywhere, just so we could get through security and go film inside. Here's a gorilla filmmaker. Oh, so you don't have to have a permit. Oh, that's. Oh, snap. Sounds way cheaper, man. That sounds like some shit we would do. What should I do? Yeah. I do, as long as your tripod's not on the ground in LA, you don't have to have a permit. Did you know that? What? As long as it's not on the ground? If you put the tripod on your foot, be like, I'm not on your property. Isn't that awesome? I don't know. Yeah, that's one little trick my homies taught me. That's some Hollywood shit. Yeah, isn't that cool? Mm-hmm. Have you been knowing Chappelle forever, or is that, like, a new relationship? It's not a new relationship. I've been knowing him for maybe about 10 years, but I didn't know that he knew me like that, you know? Mm-hmm. Got you. We met, actually, at the Montreal Comedy Festival. Sick. You know about that? No. Well, it's in Montreal. That's one of the, like, biggest ones, right? It's a comedy festival, and it's pretty lit, and I had went to go see him out there. And he noticed me then, but I didn't know. And then we ran into each other backstage at the, when Eddie Murphy went back to Saturday Night Live after, like, what, 25 years or something like that. We were there for that together, too. Then I just got a call and said, Chappelle wants you to come to Yellow Springs. This is during COVID. Because remember, he built that, um. Yes, I do remember that. Outdoor, uh. Arena theater in Ohio, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. And so. Did you perform there? Yeah. How was performing when the world shut down? Because we all thought the world was over. Collectively. Fuck that. How is it performing in front of a cornfield full of white folk? That's what was really a trip. Was it fun? It ended up being fun, but it was a little, like. Yeah. Sometimes you get those crowds, you're like, I hope this goes good. No, they're not. They, you know, they had to get used to him being there. And he's from there. This guy's got all the money, huh? Yeah, he done bought up the townhouse. This is amazing, by the way. Oh, it is. It's really great. Glad you're here. That's perfectly your kind of tour. Oh, yeah. Um, what's sweet? It's called Memberberry. Oh, that's kind of sweet. Memberberry. Oh, some South Park references. That sounds sexual. Could be, probably.

was driving right here it's always movies what people said what i was looking at when they said it it is but it's annoying because even the bad shit like i remember all that shit that shit sucked that's the only bad part about it yeah yeah yeah yeah because i have another youtube channel where i just i tell stories when i that's how i got my following and shit yeah and it's because i have stories every story you can think of really everything you ever i just done a lot of drugs before because i grew up in merced okay so like i'll be like math story crack story pcp story coke story mescaline story didn't you ever do mescaline it was the joy drug of my life it's my joy on his face what yes purple micro dot was the best thing that ever happened to me in the 70s i had so much fun i had so much fun the only thing that compares is mushroom but the purple micro dot was this color and there's a tiny tiny little powerful little pill oh we became friends right now my favorite drug is mescaline i love it so much trying to do a blob of nothing but i know i'm walking one time i did some mescaline and me and some friends and i don't do this shit we went up to a cabin in the snow and i sat in this chair right and and the fucking mescaline kicked in and i felt like if i let go of this chair i'm gonna shoot through the roof of this motherfucking house and i sat that chair gripped for like five hours i didn't get up and move i was like if i get up i'm gonna shoot straight through the motherfucking roof that's how high it was it was fine i don't do it now i would i'm not doing nothing now i'm smoking weed and drinking liquor because i don't trust nothing no mushrooms i love mushrooms well it grows i cannot tell a lie a mushroom is a vegetable is it not of course it's a fungi vegetable fun guy get it all right all right so if it grows you'll smoke it or drink it i like it what mushrooms um i'm scared to drink the mushroom syrup that i have oh and i got syrup sounds scary honey i'm scared i don't know how much you know oh i feel you so i've got it i'll just give it to a test that i know yeah and um but i do eat you know mushrooms yeah see but i don't take no i don't do no no no no cocaines no no weirdo pills nothing that could be hey i'm gonna kill you with this like oh yeah you're looking roulette i have too much shit to do to die no fuck i used to i mean did you used to do blow though oh yeah we've had a lot of discussions on this show about it like man i would spell my name out and then like over the course of half an hour and then over the course of like 30 40 minutes but done but like i don't know what it was like my mom and dad were both crank addicts my whole life oh my god so i think like i like drugs but stay away from me because i like yeah yeah yeah because i like but i also like not being a piece of shit loser so that's why i'm like oh absolutely i still gotta go to work we talked about this yesterday i still have to go to work so i can get fucked up to five and then i stop and go to work because i have to go work but i'm also on on cocaine at work which is fine for me at least i'm there doing my job great that's the fine line between living outside and living inside yeah a lot of my best friends live outside now like four of them right like outside they live under bridges and shit now yeah so it's very odd like looking at the drug because i always say hey you're not gonna go to work my mexican ass grandpa would shun me if i didn't work so i'm like no i'm not gonna be the embarrassment we're talking about we just talked about this so that's why i love cocaine but say i had like a gram i don't know what it was i would do like 0.4 under my tongue and then i'd snort like a 0.3 and i put the other 0.4 on my top teeth and then i just sit there for like 40 minutes like yeah it's just the shit right isn't it so fun i love bumming it more than anything you are a fool but you don't i mean you agree but of course because now see i was 70s cocaine cooler fun cocaine cocaine that makes you dance with the disco it was the cocaine and the disco so much cooler back then so much cooler so it was no drama it was like coke and let's go have fun and party that was it that's fucking awesome yeah it was great now it's like i bought it off some fucking tweak i don't even know what it's called sounds like molly in the 70s

got 300 like 330 pills of mescaline for my homie because i was starting to sell them because i was selling some packs but i'll start selling that really right we took we're about seven pills deep each and we're sitting there on my couch and she's like hey I like you I go bitch for real I like you I didn't want to fuck this up and we've been together ever since but it was the mescaline I remember we were both melting we didn't sleep we drove to a concert that night all the way in Santa Cruz the next day I was up for two days of course you should have told this story at the wedding it's love for

podcast and you'll see it oh no he had it he had it brought up yeah and I know everybody's like you didn't ask about it I have to ask even though it's I know you've talked about it before I have to ask about Borat and obviously you get some wild roles I would say I would say but that was a genuine reaction correct like when you walked into that room oh yes okay everything was the thing about Borat I talked about it yesterday it's a gift that keeps on every day at least once a week somebody still talks to me about Borat and it's coming up on 20 years I think really so I would hope that I hope that they do like a retrospective or something like that you know I think we would know by now by now so I'm not going to do it but it was quite an experience you know and it's acting but it's more like theater performance street performance in public because no one else is in on it like it's kind of an odd thing to take in right for sure and I wanted to try to watch it about six months ago I put it on I got ten minutes in I was like I can't and I'm in the fucking movie and I was like I just can't watch it no crazy yes you're not crazy I love this episode is brought to you by State Farm

tripping nobody was home and I had my blanket on and then he got onto the bus with those guys drinking beer and goes those guys are racist those guys are weird you know on mushrooms you're like hyper aware like that guy wants to say say shit and I got to where he put the bag over Pamela or he tried to bag her and I'm like that trip was gone and then I realized like I'm back and then I went outside I'm back yeah so that calmed me down that's the last first bad trip and he was trying to abduct Pamela ah yeah what a movie I don't know I do do a lot of wild shit though yeah yeah you have a lot of wild roles I would say in the in person roles but you auditioned for that you got picked because that's kind of like it's a mockumentary so is their audition separate or is it just on the fly the audition was just like it was Larry Charles who was the director who looks like a madman and is one and then Sasha and but see I had not seen Sasha outside of his Ali G shit I knew Sasha from Ali G so I didn't know what he looked like as a regular dude so I didn't know that was him with his accent yeah a little bit and so I auditioned for them but it was just like go in there and they'll tell you
