WEBVTT - Jenna Von Oy Meets World 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:20.000 I have had a cold now for eight days. 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.360 I can't keep it nine days. Whatever it is, it 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:23.240 will not go away. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.120 And I keep hearing all. 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.080 These random people giving me advice on how to get 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:28.960 rid of it. And the one I heard yesterday was 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.840 just doing shots of bourbon with lemon in it, which 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.680 sounds great, and I feel like I'm just going to be. 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.400 With you drunk and then you don't mind having a cold. 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.879 I'm wondering if you guys can give me any advice 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.680 about the random, most random ways you've heard to get 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.560 rid of the common cold, which is just not going away. 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.919 I shan't okay, Well, first of all, do you use 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.640 a netty pot? 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:58.760 What a nutty pot? I do not use a net 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.640 I feel like I'm put things up my nose. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.600 And then okay, Well, I would like to say that 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.880 a Nettie pot one is great even if you don't 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.760 have a cold. It helps prevent you possibly from getting sick, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.679 because nasal visage is getting all, you know, helping keep 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.080 it clear from germs, and when you are sick, it 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.679 will help push things through faster. I really cannot say 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.199 enough wonderful things about a Nettie pot and I would 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:27.440 highly recomon do it in the show? 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:28.960 Do we just enter an Nettie Pot commercial? And I 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.160 didn't realize it? It's like it also leads me to 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.680 believe do we have the copy. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.679 I don't know what the pot Neteethpot. 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:45.679 You can get it at your local CBS, Walgreens, Nettie 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.279 Meets World. 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.440 I've actually never used the pot, but I know people 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.520 like around me you swore it, but it's I also 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.440 heard it's kind of addictive, though, like one of those 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.240 things like once you clear your nasal passages. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.080 I don't recommend using it every day. I don't recommend 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.960 using it every day if you're not sick. If you're sick, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.560 I recommend using it every day if you're not sick, 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.040 a couple times a week, maybe just once a week, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.400 or maybe you just pick and choose, like before you 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.480 go on a plane, after you come off a plane, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.800 like places where maybe you're going to be in extra 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.320 jermy environments. I use it in the shower so that 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.760 I don't have to worry about, you know, it dripping 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.799 down my face or feeling like I'm drowning. I can 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.360 just figure out the best most comfortable position to be 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:24.000 in to use it. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.440 I really highly recommend that. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.600 And there is a little bit of truth will to 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.920 the idea of the bourbon that's kind of like a 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:30.560 hot toddy. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.720 Yeah, it's honey lemon, a little bit of your favorite 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.160 type of alcohol. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.639 And a cinnamon stick. And it will help one help 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.120 you sleep. It will sue the sore throat, it will 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.359 it will just give you a little bit of extra rest. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720 I have no symptoms other than my head. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.320 Is clogged for I can hear it. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.280 Just I cannot kick this thing. It is killing me 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:53.800 at this point. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.959 I'm so sorry. I also really love Faara Flu. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.400 If you don't want to do the alcohol version a 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.480 night time I'm fair flu. They make a daytime theiflu. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.799 I'm also a really big fan of Floonse. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:05.799 It really. 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:08.000 Works on me. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.000 The the afron is the stuff that's scary, not touch 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:12.720 and it works so well. 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:13.680 And then next thing you know. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:14.520 That that is addicted. 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.280 I don't recommend.

Couldn't breathe image at one point. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.400 Yeah, it happens fast too, but it's such a good. 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.960 Product, and then you can't breathe without it. So flose 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.960 doesn't do that. It's non addictive. So you know, Will I, 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.040 I really I think if you started a regiment of 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.800 Nettie pot Flownase a hot body and or a faraflu, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.280 and you're gonna feel better in a couple of days. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.120 I'm just going to stick to the bourbon.

Y. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.040 Yeah, I feel like that you were just in and 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.000 that you were in the scene in a way that like, 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.600 you know, we didn't we just looked up to you. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.040 I just remember looking up to you and you were 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.720 so cool and fun and we just liked each other. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.920 And I just remember like thinking, yeah, it's so funny 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.480 to look back and be like, yeah, you were actually 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.080 probably only sixteen and probably had no clue what you 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:39.640 were doing either. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.439 But do you feel like that how people who are 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.000 only a couple of years older than you seem so 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.800 much older at the time. Yeah, I'm like in my 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.520 brain and of course I still feel this, and I'm like, oh, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.640 you're twenty seven, We're the same age. It's totally fine. Yeah, 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.360 Like you know, at that time, I feel like I 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.920 looked at you as being my peer and being the 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.000 same age as me. Meanwhile, I was obviously a couple 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.560 of years older than you, and that pines in age 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.280 was just that gap was so huge. What I think, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.720 what I remember most for you, writer is the cruise 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:21.560 that we all yes, which was so and so insane 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:22.880 looking back. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:29.280 But for you, hell it was it was Yeah, ocean 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.360 hell is what we've called that. 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.600 No, well, okay, oh wait, but you were there old 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.120 on we you were in the first year, right, or 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.840 were you there when Danielle went?

Yeah, there might have 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.880 been reasons why they didn't invite me back. It's I 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:54.200 think you. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.640 I think you did do the second year because good, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.680 that's so you weren't invited the first year, but you 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.160 got a invited to the second year. 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.680 Okay, fair well, that sounds better. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.000 So will mentioned already you're from Connecticut. How did you 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.040 decide to become an actor? And what did your parents 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:22.880 think of you wanting to do this? 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:28.560 Other than that I was nuts. You know, acting is 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.680 not It's not in my family at all. My mom 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.360 is from a small town Wisconsin. My dad is from Fairfield, Connecticut, 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:39.880 very you know, fairly small town. And when I was 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.960 about three years old, there was a Jordash Jean's commercial 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.040 and all these girls were doing ballet and I loved 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.440 to dance, and I took dance classes at the time, 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.560 essentially because my parents didn't know what to do with 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.040 me because I had so much energy, which now as 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.240 a mom to a firecracker of a nine year old, 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:04.440 I'm like, oh, goat feeling my poor parents. But so 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.440 I think, you know, I saw this commercial and I 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.560 was like, oh, all these girls are dancing, and I 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.280 don't know what goes through one's mind prior to understanding 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:18.440 that there are actually people on display on the television, 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.360 that it's not robots, that it's not I don't I mean, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.120 I don't know what you think prior to that, but 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.320 for me, that was my first indication that there were 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.120 actually humans that were doing these roles and they were dancing, 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.000 and these were kids like me, and it made sense 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.600 to me, and I was like, oh, well, that's what 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.880 I want to do. So I started telling my parents 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.720 and they were like, oh, that's so cute. You know, 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:43.120 you're gonna fight fires one day, dance and dad where 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.480 Georde Ash Jean's the next. And I was like, hmmm, no, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:52.280 it's that We're done. Here we go and scene. So yeah, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.200 they started, they didn't know what to do. They ignored 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.200 it for a while. And then this woman my dad 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:02.760 was a longtime server at a really beautiful water fall 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:08.600 front restaurant in Connecticut that served he served, you know, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.120 people like Paul Newman and were the stewart for many 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.680 many years and it was just like this classic traditional 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:21.040 restaurant and the bartender there. Ironically, or maybe not so ironically, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.040 when my dad told her that I wanted to be 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.159 an actress, said to him, Oh, that's funny. I just 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.480 started taking my son to New York for auditions. I'm 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.840 I'm a manager. Now I've become a manager. My dad 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.200 was like, I don't really know what that means, but cool, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.600 and she said, well, I'd love to meet her. And 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.280 I went to her house and she was like, oh, yeah, 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.200 we're going to do this. And so she started taking 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.199 me to New York for auditions and still plenty of 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.639 money along the way. My dye, oh no, because it 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.440 was one of those situations where, you know, my parents 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.000 were so green and yeah, I know them. They're both 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.879 from small towns and they they had no idea and 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.520 which really, in the long run, as much as it 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.760 sucks to say this, like it's kind of a beautiful thing. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.920 My parents didn't know any better and that they were 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.679 amateurs in the whole thing. You know, we learned together, 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.840 we grew together in the business to understand it better 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:19.640 and and well not be taking taken advantage of quite 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.760 so much. But but yeah, So this woman took me 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.080 to New York on the train for auditions for years, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.879 and then at some point when we realized sort of 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.280 more of what was going on, my parents started taking 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:30.080 me in instead. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.119 So what was the first job you booked? 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.520
