Mila 2:55
So crazy.

Scott Benner 2:57
In May of 2021. It's January of 2022. Right now, just for context. You've had it just for like seven months, and you're 30 years? Yeah. anyone in your family have type one diabetes?

Mila 3:10
I guess. Yeah. My mom said that. Like I a lot of people on her side of the family, I guess, like have it. But I don't know. She said like my uncles and I have that. And I guess like, yeah, my uncles and stuff. I don't know.

Scott Benner 3:24
Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah. But people you don't know. firsthand, right? Yeah, like

Mila 3:29
people. I don't know. But I guess I get I guess it's runs in my family. But I guess it like skipped my mom and dad though.

Scott Benner 3:35
Okay, just not something people have spoken about. How about how are other autoimmune stuff? Like do you have a thyroid condition?

Mila 3:44
No, no, I don't have like, anything else?

Scott Benner 3:50
Celiac? Anybody? Like your grandma had celiac or something like that? Nothing.

Mila 3:55
I have no idea. My grandma, my grandma definitely had diabetes. And I don't know what else. I don't know what else she had. She had a bunch of issues.

Scott Benner 4:05
It's kind of a weird question. Because people either are very aware of it. Or they, they're they're like, I don't know, my grandmother's medical history. You moron, you know So, but, but your grandmother type one or type two, or did you do not

Mila 4:17
know? Um, I feel I think she was type two. Type Two.

Scott Benner 4:21
Okay, so how were you diagnosed? What happened and what sent you to the to the doctor?

Mila 4:27
Oh my gosh. Well, for for the longest time. It's so crazy because like, oh, yeah, I got diagnosed in May. In January. I was like in Mexico, but I could not stop peeing. Like literally pee, like peed my pants. And I just thought I thought that I thought I had like a loose pee hole to be honest. So I just didn't I didn't like check into it or anything and I just was like, drinking a lot and I remember getting really sick. I got like strep throat really, really bad. And then I came home and I just like was just like drinking a lot peeing a lot. And I got strep throat again. And then I like couldn't breathe. Like, I was just like out of breath like even just like talking, having a conversation. And my friends came over to like help me put together some furniture because I just moved. And they're just like, are you okay? Because like you should call the doctor. So I called the I called the doctor. And the nurse was just like, she was just like really concerned because she was like, did you just like run a mile or like why? Like you like I need you to get an ambulance right now. But my friends just drove me because I live like I live downtown. So I'm like, around the corner anyways. Yeah, so they drove me there. And I don't know, they brought me to the ER. And then. Yeah, the doctor came in and just like asked me like, Have you been like eating and drinking? And I was like, Oh my God. Yeah, she's like, Yeah, we're pretty positive that you have diabetes. Wow.

Scott Benner 5:57
30 years old. Hey, listen. This is just a friendly reminder to people. I just tried something. I don't think you should ever Google the words loose P Hall.

Unknown Speaker 6:08
So Oh, no.

Scott Benner 6:10
I was like, maybe she had a medical condition. I was like, No, that's not what that was. Okay. Don't do that.

Mila 6:17
Oh, my gosh, just get a bunch of points.

Scott Benner 6:19
Yeah, it just didn't. It didn't go the way I was expecting. I like I was trying to be ahead of the conversation. I'm like, I wonder if there's like a medical condition like that. And I was like, Oops, no, that's my fault. I shouldn't. Yeah,

Mila 6:30
I literally thought it was like broken. I was just like, maybe needs to be tightened up. I don't know. Like, and I had Google too. I was like drinking a lot peeing a lot. And it definitely said diabetes, but I was like, oh, Google's just trying to scare me. Do you think Google is right this time?

Scott Benner 6:47
Let's just be clear. For a second Milla. You don't believe that? Google's after you write? What you don't think Google's trying to like, you don't literally think of Google as a thing that's trying to get you do you know, Oh, no. Okay. Great. I just want to make sure that, you know, you weren't paranoid. I mean, if you're, it's fine. I just want to know what I'm dealing with.

Mila 7:07
You know, like when, like, I guess I unless you like, if I'm sick or something I like, I'll Google it. And then it's just like, it'll be like, you have a brain tumor. Like something crazy. Yeah. I usually just don't listen to it.

Scott Benner 7:19
Right. There are a lot of symptoms that point to a million things. And if you can't find one of those things at fault, there do become more serious issues that those those, those specific symptoms actually point to as well. But people usually do jump right to the thing told me I had cancer, you know, like so. Yeah. You have a loose tendon. Yeah. Alright. So, um, you go into the hospital for this, or

Mila 7:45
Yeah, yeah. So they checked me and I was in ketoacidosis. They told me they're like, yeah, you definitely, like super like you didn't slip into a coma because I live by myself. So I guess I was like, got there and then make a time. And then I was there for six days.

Scott Benner 8:01
Now. What about the what happens next? Like when when they get you kind of balanced out? And they're gonna send you home? Did they send you home with an insulin pump or with needles or pen?

Mila 8:13
Yeah. So that well, they had to talk to an educator. And then they sent me home with two pens, and Mike, the computer and like strips and stuff. And then I had to, when I went when I had my appointment with my educator. That's when I got on the Dexcom. I don't have a pump yet. Because like I was, at first I was just like, No, I did not want that. But I just, I actually just met with my Endo. And I was just talking to him about the Omnipod. Because I feel like I'd probably be better at it if I had that.

Scott Benner 8:46
So what was your first? Like, you were okay with the Dexcom. But you were thinking no to Apollo, like, what was your thinking there? Well,

Mila 8:55
it's well, it's just like my job. Like, I'm a dancer. So I just like was like, I don't want like too many things. Like, like on my body. But now I'm just like, Okay, I don't really think it matters, actually.

Scott Benner 9:09
Well, and so you're going to be comfortable with it now.

Mila 9:13
Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, because I'm just, it's just too much work like having like, these, these pens and just like having I eat out a lot. And just like having, like, I don't like I'll pull it out and stuff. I just think it's just like a lot of extra work kind of here. You know, it's actually a lot of extra work.

Scott Benner 9:31
Like, carrying things keeping insulin cool. I guess stuff like that.

Mila 9:35
The whole entire thing? Yeah, it's just like, it's just like, I have to think all the time. It's ridiculous.

Scott Benner 9:41
Gotcha. So you said a second ago that you're a dancer. That's actually why you're on the show, right? Yeah. Mille Mills Mills here to make an after dark episode. Is that correct?

Mila 9:53
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, dancer, stripper. Yeah.

Scott Benner 9:57
So I don't know. I'm trying to like work. my way through this, but I think you sent me a note on Instagram saying like the podcast has been helpful. Was that about right?

Mila 10:08
Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, cuz you have like this good episode with like, Well, I mean, they're all good, but like, Yeah, this one that like she was talking about like doing cocaine, and I was like, was it? Wait, am I allowed to swear?

Scott Benner 10:20
You've um, you've said don't worry. I'll just I have to. I'll edit it out later. You're fine. Okay.

Mila 10:25
Yeah, to be saying that right. Um, but yeah, so I was just like, Oh, like that, like, I don't know, just like resonated because just Yeah, I do it all the time. So.

Scott Benner 10:36
Okay, so you use cocaine? Well, yeah, right. And then you So you saw that you're like, huh, this is a representation of my life right here.

Mila 10:45
Yeah, yeah. Cuz like, I don't know, I just have like a very much party lifestyle. I suppose you would say,

Scott Benner 10:51
Okay. How long have you been dancing?

Mila 10:55
10 years. Wow.

Scott Benner 10:57
They give you like a, like a metal or something?

Mila 11:01
They should. Yeah. I'm like a veteran now though, sir.

Scott Benner 11:05
So my first question about this is gonna probably surprise you, but are you like a contractor? Like for your taxes? Do you like?

Mila 11:12
Yeah, okay. Yeah. 1099? Yeah. Not, not like not all clubs, do it. Like, you can be an employee if you want to be but they're just like, take your money. So,

Scott Benner 11:21
so are you like, uh, do you have one place that you dance? Or do you have a few places? Or how do you do that?

Mila 11:27
I just have one place because it's just like my home club. And I love it there. But I mean, a lot of a lot of people like traveling and stuff. Like I you could work wherever you wanted to. Okay.

Scott Benner 11:38
So now my, not my confusion, but my real interest when I kind of like, you know, when people messaged me, I click kind of through to see who they are. And I think you describe yourself as a sex worker. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. What does that term encapsulate? It could be a lot of different things, right?

Mila 11:56
Sure. Well, yeah, I just think is like anybody, like anybody who like works in the sex industry, like ask for strippers, camera. People who work outside, basically, like, you know, porn stars, anybody who just like works in this, like, in the sex industry? Sounds like sex basically. And like, doesn't like necessarily mean like, have, you know, like, like, like having sex, but I mean, it can?

Scott Benner 12:24
Sure. It could include that. But it doesn't necessarily mean that right? Yeah. In your case, it doesn't necessarily mean that.

Mila 12:33
I mean, I could have somebody who's paying for now. No, just a stripper.

Scott Benner 12:39
So, so no one has has offered you that upgrade yet. But if they owe everybody options, Oh, really? Okay. Oh, yeah. Here we go. So

Mila 12:50
I've actually never met a more single man than a married man that's

Scott Benner 12:54
never met a more single man than a married man, like single in their head.

Mila 12:58
Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah. When they're out on business. They're naughty boys.

Scott Benner 13:03
Should be a comforting episode for married ladies everywhere. So he's cheating. So where does the how does the floor work? Is there is there kind of like a main stage where people cycle through and then you kind of go down on the floor and look for lap dances, stuff like that. Private dances?

Mila 13:23
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, like you go on stage, just and then you just go on the floor and talk to people and see if they like, want to do VIP or do dances. And then yeah, I said, Well, have you been to a strip club?

Scott Benner 13:34
I mean, I'm old now. But I have been in the past. Yeah. I mean, but but the older guys? Yeah, I don't know. I'm, I'm pretty old. Like, I just My knee hurts. You know, they mean? Like, if if you came down and like sat on my lap, I'd be like, Oh, my God, my knee. Mila. Like, you'd be like, you want me to rub you? And I'm like, only if it's going to be my knee. So yeah, I mean, but so you're saying that when you get when when you head off into a private room? Give me Give me the breakdown out of every 10. Guys, how many of them? Want some sort of actual contact?

Mila 14:13
Oh, out of every 10 like way out of every 10 Who wants to go to VIP?

Scott Benner 14:17
Yeah, everything guys that you're in a private room with? How many of those 10 How many say to you, Hey, what is the next? Oh, how

Mila 14:24
many like asked me to go to their hotel room? Right? I would say like nine out of 10.

Scott Benner 14:30
And they want you just to do it. They don't want to they're not like, Hey, I have a business transaction for them. They just think that they're Oh no,

Mila 14:36
like they like they want they want to pay but it's just like, you know, like, I'm trying to lose my job. So it's just like, I'm just like, why don't you just you know, get another hour.

Scott Benner 14:46
Right? We'll see if that's sort of part of the I don't want to call it a game but is that sort of part of the business? Like just get them very excited, but then keep them they're spending money?

Mila 14:59
Oh, yeah, for sure. Sure, I mean, you know, I always tell them like, you know, there's no sex in the champagne room. But guys are very, I don't know, visual

Scott Benner 15:12
creatures, and they can get very single minded. Yeah, you put

Mila 15:17
a T in the dude's face and you really ain't thinking about my job. That's just empty their wallets pretty quick.

Scott Benner 15:26
And they do you think that they believe that there's going to be some sort of a more personal ending to this? Or do you think

Mila 15:33
I've seen dudes like, like, proposed to girls and VIP like guys? Some people get very delusional.

Scott Benner 15:40
Do they ever come back an hour later? And they're like, I didn't mean to do that.

Mila 15:44
No, these are like regular so like, they haven't seen a girl like forever. I used to have a guy who's like bring me in mac and cheese all the time and pizza because he knew I loved like cheese. And he liked that he was my boyfriend, but I never seen him outside the club but in his head. Like I was just girlfriend. Yeah, just

Scott Benner 16:04
interest. How does that how does that all manifest on your side? Like you don't think he's your boyfriend obviously. And and you're not asking him to bring you macaroni and cheese. But once he does it, I love that Macaroni Cheese example. And that once he brings you your mac and cheese, you're like, Huh, you ate it?

Mila 16:25
Yeah. It's like he would bring me the Babita boxes it so take it home like he is. When I lived in Guam, he was just

Scott Benner 16:35
throwing the shaky box at you. And he was like, Hey, honey, all you need to do is add water and you've got a meal.

Mila 16:40
Yeah, they bring in like a whole grocery bag for me. Yeah.

Scott Benner 16:43
And do you think that that alone, in his mind, he thought you were going to like, translate out of the setting into real life with him? Do you think he thought that was gonna happen? Or do you think he just likes the idea that he's got someone to talk to?

Mila 16:59
Oh, I mean, I think that he for sure thought that I was his girlfriend and that because by he because he would always be like, well, how come you don't see me to the club? What come to my dad tells like just weird things. Like, I mean, you know, it's he definitely thought so. But not all got like most guys like No, like they know what it is. But some of them get a little confused. Yeah, gotcha. Does it that's fine. Now, you know, I was just friend.

Scott Benner 17:25
Yeah, no, I understand. Yeah. And you don't see it as you don't see it as a one sided affair. Right. Like both both parties are getting something out of it. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Okay. Like you don't feel like you're taking advantage anybody?

Mila 17:40
Oh, no. I mean, he's got my old D in his mouth. He's having a good time.

Scott Benner 17:44
It's a fair trade.

Mila 17:47
I think so.

Scott Benner 17:49
So now you got me thinking? Like, what would I trade for a box of macaroni and cheese on my end? You're right.

Mila 17:56
Oh, wait, no, he also gave me money.

Scott Benner 18:00
You wouldn't just meal. It's like, Listen, if you ever figure out who I am pleased to not show up just with canned goods and try to get with me. That isn't gonna be enough. What's an hour cost?

Mila 18:15
an hour at my club costs 600 an hour. Wow, that's crazy. But it usually ends up being like, like I tell most guys, I get lease you're gonna at least spend like 800 Cuz that's just for me. And you got to tip the waitress too. And then if you get a bottle of champagne, it's gonna be much more because we usually get like, good champions. So it's usually like 800 to $1,200 for the bottle.

Scott Benner 18:41
How many people do you think in a shift? How long is the shift? First of all?

Mila 18:46
How long was the shift? I usually got the at nine and then I'll stay until like two or three.

Scott Benner 18:53
How many people can you see in those five hours?

Mila 18:57
Huh? I think it just depends. It just depends how busy it is. But if I'm really like, I'm just trying to find like one guy to bring upstairs.

Scott Benner 19:05
Okay. How much of the 600 How much do you keep?

Mila 19:12
I keep 500 and 100 for the table. Okay, um, yeah, and then usually asked for 100% Tip So do they do that? Oh, yeah, these guys because the guys that might like my club like these guys are like, like they wipe their ass with money. Like they're like rich so I don't have a problem being like, Give me all your money.

Scott Benner 19:33
I see that. So it's not like you're not taking like little Johnny's like inhaler money.

Mila 19:38
No, I'm I'm j&j His

Scott Benner 19:40
dad's money. That's funny. And Johnny is the CEO of

Mila 19:43
a company.

Scott Benner 19:44
I gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Interesting. You think it's, um, do you think it's about sex? Who do you think it's about power? Do you think it's about loneliness? Like, what do you I mean, how much time do you think spend thinking about the psychology of what's happening?

Mila 20:00
I think that it can be like, just, I guess, like, a bunch of different things. It really just depends, I guess like what the person wants when they come in. Because a lot of times we like to say like, we're basically like naked therapists, because guys will come in and just be like, complain about, like, the families and our wives. And they'll, like, pay us to do it. While just like a teaser out, so yeah, we're basically naked therapists most of the time, but a lot of times sometimes, too. I guess. It's just like, two parties. So then it'd be like, yeah, about sex. Like, they just want to see some buddies and have some drinks. You know, super fun time. Sometimes it's about business. A lot of business guys take like, their partners in to like, show them a good time. So like, sign the deal later, whatever.

Scott Benner 20:43
I have to tell you, as you're saying this, it occurs to me, I've never had a bad time with boobs. So I think yeah, I mean, I'm sitting here really hard pressed to think of a time where there were boobs available. And I was like, Oh, this is terrible.

Mila 20:56
Yeah, like, no, yeah, hot girls boobs and booze. Like, you really can't.

Scott Benner 21:01
It's a mix. Now, you said earlier that you use coke. So do you do it as a way to? Like, is it functional? Like you do it to work? Or do you do it? Personally?

Mila 21:14
No, it's just like a party thing. I actually I don't even buy it like, people just like I feel like like, not even just in like this, like the sex industry. But like, in like the like, in like the bar industry. And like the restaurant industry, like all these, like, all the way just isn't all the bartenders like there are they're all on cook. Most of them. And I don't know, it's just like, I just gets offered to me. And if I'm drunk, I'll do it. It's not something like I guess I don't if I'm sober. I'm Mike. Actually, by my cue, gross. I get that away from me. But if I'm drunk, I'm like. No, it's just it's my, I guess it's like, I would say it's like a social thing, like smoking a cigarette. Like I say, yeah, it's just there. It's always there.

Scott Benner 22:04
And now I'm going to do some use some words I don't have any context for but you're talking about, like, what I guess would colloquially be considered like a bump you're not or a line or like, yeah, not all night. Kind of thing.

Mila 22:18
No, no. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I knew years to get home at 8am. But, you know, besides No, yeah. I'm not like, doing an eight ball tonight or anything. I'd be dead.

Scott Benner 22:30
Yeah. I mean, I don't know what that means. But I agree with you. So oh, that's a lot. It's a lot. Okay. I mean, I'm, I'm in my mind, I'm imagining an eight ball on a pool table. Right about?

Mila 22:44
Yeah. Is that the vibe? Yeah. It's like an AP was like $250 worth of coke, which in a gram is like 80 bucks. So an AP was like three grams Basal.

Scott Benner 22:56
Or, like, 2.5. And you're not paying for it?

Mila 22:59
No, no, no. No, honestly, people just like, it's just crazy. How many people do it? Like? And like, I always think like, people who like don't do coke or like, never touched it or like, think it's like, like taboo or like scary. But like, in my like, to me, I'm like, i i every so many people do it. Like mind boggling.

Scott Benner 23:24
Yeah. In your world. You see it constantly. Yeah, like Yeah, yeah. Do you ever worry about like fentanyl?

Mila 23:31
Yes, yeah. There was well, especially after like, what happened? I can LA with those comedians, like they'll like died? Yeah. But yeah, I guess there was a bad batch going around Minneapolis, like a, like a month ago. And I definitely got a couple text messages like a like, don't don't do anything. But um, yeah, that's scary.

Now we're going to find out if Mila has a 401k plan and a lot a lot more. I mean, this one's going to don't sleep on this episode. Keep listening. There's a lot there's like,

Mila 28:25
no, no. But we do have like this like this like spike sex worker. Like I know it's like this group of sex workers have like this whole thing. And they're like, talking to the mayor and stuff and they're trying to get like better. Better benefits and stuff like health insurance, like just basic for like dancers because we don't get any of that.

Scott Benner 28:49
Yeah, I mean, it's just so are you. This is a crazy and personal question. I can't believe it. This is the first time I've thought this is too personal to ask, but are you saving money? Yeah. Can you

Mila 29:04
know any other stripper out there like better showed saving their money because a lot of girls just like run through their money so fast because it's just fast money, but I'll save

Scott Benner 29:14
it. You know, oddly, I'm kind of comparing you to like an athlete in my head. Because yeah, it's or like a runway model, right? Because at some time, I mean, to be frank and to use your words at some point, a guy is gonna walk in there, see your TV, see somebody else's bees and yours are gonna look older and they're gonna be like, I'm gonna go with this girl. And then you're just gonna be like, Oh, geez, I get another great like, do you think I mean,

Mila 29:39
I guess if they start like, like, if they start looking ugly at some point, but

Scott Benner 29:44
I'm not saying they do. Let's be clear. And what I'm saying what I'm saying is that like your body is like it's your I mean, it's your product, right? Like so what happens when your body if your body becomes a product that people aren't as You know, desires of happening, you know, and then Oh, sure.

Mila 30:02
And then I guess I don't I I'm not gonna like stay in the business and time like 50. But there are girls that I know that are like in the upper 40s. And they usually make way more money than the younger girls because, like at, like, at the end of the day, like, yeah, like it's about like your body and your knees and stuff. But if you have like a mouthpiece on me, like if you know how to like, talk to a man and talk him out of his wallet and talk to him upstairs. That's really all you need, like a pig in a wig can make money, you know?

Scott Benner 30:34
Oh, well, we're so close to that being the name of your episode, except I don't think you're a pig in a wig. But that's okay, so. So what do you think you'll do after this?

Mila 30:46
I just want to save a bunch of money and like buy a house on the beach and like open a bar. But you know, I mean, and also, like, I do plan on having a rich husband. So that'll help.

Scott Benner 30:59
So this has been in the back of my head for about the last, you know, all but the first 35 seconds we were talking, you're going to make if you if you can find somebody you really like you're going to make, like, from the perspective of getting what you want, you're probably gonna have a fairly good time of being married is what I was thinking.

Mila 31:20
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah.

Scott Benner 31:24
So do you date while you're like, do you have like a somebody in your life?

Mila 31:30
Well, actually, I just got out of like, a five year relationship. I'm such a relationship girl, actually, I'm always in a relationship. But I've been single this past year. And so.

Scott Benner 31:38
Okay, so that's interesting. So you were five years with somebody while you were working? In dancing? Yeah. And

Mila 31:45
yeah, I would never, I wouldn't date somebody who like didn't click had a problem with my job?

Scott Benner 31:51
I don't imagine you could

Mila 31:52
know. Yeah, well, I mean, girls would do it, and then they'll their boyfriends will try to make them quit. Like, I'm just too much money to quit.

Scott Benner 32:01
I think that's a different psychological issue. Trying to save people like that feeling like you're gonna upgrade them or help them or get them out of something is.

Mila 32:08
That's yeah. Which is ridiculous. Because you just if you want them like work behind a desk for less money, that doesn't make any sense.

Scott Benner 32:15
So how did that go? Like, I mean, were trying to imagine like, you're like, Hey, I gotta go to work. And you're his boyfriend. Yeah, and your boyfriend's like, that's great. Get those boobs in somebody's face. Honey, we got to buy the we got to buy food. Like is that like, what? Yeah, no,

Mila 32:33
he used to drop me off every every night and give me just before I went in, and yeah, I would come home and be like, $2,000 and he'd be like, yay. Guys, a good time. It usually like that. Like, usually my boyfriend's be like jealous, like, Wow, thank you for making that much in one day,

Scott Benner 32:51
because it's so much money. It's more than they're making. Yeah, and he's really working his ass. So you think like, there's a, like, there's a lot of respect about the amount of money that you're bringing in.

Mila 33:02
thing, if you have respect for sex workers, then then you can respect the money that they bring in. But if you don't, I guess if you don't have respect for sex workers, then usually like the money doesn't matter, because they'll still be degrading, or some dumb shit. And then go watch porn. So it's just like, Okay,

Scott Benner 33:19
gotcha. So not okay for you. But it's okay for the girl in the video.

Mila 33:23
Right, exactly. So I just a lot of people. I think they're just kind of jaded by like, what society has taught them about like sex work. And it really like it can bring like women out of poverty, like, do a lot for you. It definitely brought me out of poverty.

Scott Benner 33:39
So I want to ask you a little bit about that. And then I have some diabetes questions. So yeah, at some point, we'll talk I mean, you know, for anyone listening, you don't come on here and say you're a dancer. And then like, I'm not gonna ask you about like your Temp Basal for pizza. You know what I mean? So not right away, at least. Do you ever feel degraded? And his his feeling that way? Is feeling that way in your control? Or is it in someone else's control?

Mila 34:09
Well, first of all, no, I never feel degraded. Because like, I'm not ashamed of my job or anything like that. And I feel like if anybody like anybody in the industry does feel that way. They should maybe think twice about being in it. Because I mean, you got to respect what you're doing. And if you do, then nobody can really make you feel like and anybody in any guy who has like, tried to be rude to me, like, I'm allowed to, I can hit you. I can pour champagne on your face. Like I don't you know, I'm not gonna I don't have to sit there and like, take you being rude to me. I can also get you kicked out. Right? And so it's like, I hold all the power.

Scott Benner 34:46
Have you? Have you ever felt bad about yourself?

Mila 34:50
No, no, no, not not. Not as far as like dancing or anything? No, no.

Scott Benner 34:55
And your job before this before you did this, what did you do before that

Mila 35:00
I worked at this bar in St. Paul, I guess nobody else. But um, yeah, I went to this copper actually, it was like a bears slash copper. And then before that I worked at a gas station. But yeah, the bar is what the bar is what brought like the bar is what got me into shipping because this girl came in one time and she was like my age, but she had like a Louis Vuitton bag and all this nation. I was like, okay, she affording this. And she told me she was a stripper and I was like, I'm literally going to my

Scott Benner 35:33
stripper to Let's go. Yeah, like, I swear, I'll get to the next thing. But you keep saying things. What's the interview process? Like?

Mila 35:45
Oh, there's no interview, you just audition. So basically, like you get on stage and they they they want you to do two songs. And then like if they like you, they like you and if they don't the dough

Scott Benner 35:56
and are their home? Or they're all different body types kind of represented in a club?

Mila 36:03
No, no most clubs or castles but some clubs. Yeah, well, like like, like, not just tiny skinny little girls be working. But a lot of places. I remember when I I was like 130 pounds. And this club told me to lose 30 pounds. And I'm five, seven. So it's like insane. So

Scott Benner 36:26
I lost 30 pounds when you weigh 130 pounds. If you're five seven? It sounds like you would Yeah, exactly. I would have been like a skeleton. So they want super skinny girls usually.

Mila 36:35
Some some places some places. Yeah. My place when we had our old manager he like wouldn't hire like anybody who was like, like, even like thick. Like if you had like too much acid it would be like good as a cooler. Oh, zuku Oh, by now now we got rid of him. So we have we have more diversity.

Scott Benner 36:55
Nice. Is there are there any girls that have like, I don't know, like a trick pitch. Like something? You know, I mean, like some guys throw fast balls and sliders. But every once in a while guys got a curveball. Like, you know, is there anything in the business that like, makes you like can separate you?

Mila 37:12
Oh, I don't know. I'm thinking like, I guess I mean, I don't know. I don't know what you mean. Like separate you how like by your looks

Scott Benner 37:23
like you've got like a special talent of some sort like, oh,

Mila 37:27
oh, yeah, I mean, yeah, some girls do like, cool on stage. Not me though. I just have nice boobs. And I'm fun. I'm a fun time.

Scott Benner 37:43
That sounds like a T shirt. Nice boobs. Fun time. I think that that pretty much encapsulates the entire thing. So yeah. Okay, well, that's all I wanted. Like, I was just wondering if there were like, genres of strippers. Do you mean like a stripper? A bad word, by the way?

Mila 38:02
No, no, no, no, I'm not in most I guess unless you're saying like in a derogatory, like way. But

Scott Benner 38:09
I think after half an hour, we can tell that I definitely am not saying in a

Mila 38:12
derogatory way. Right? Yeah, no, I mean, so we do we struggle.

Scott Benner 38:16
I'm trying to decide if I want to tell you the story. I have the brought this thought up in my head. Oh, my God, please do an exam. I was like I was I think we were really young. We were like, in our early 20s. And somebody, somebody one of us was getting married. And so there's a bachelor party and we showed up at this club. And I'm going to admit to you, I'm not very comfortable in that setting. Like, okay, so I'm and I don't drink. So it's, uh, oh,

Mila 38:44
yeah, you don't,

Scott Benner 38:45
it's a weird vibe for me. So now like, you're sort of just like stone cold, sober in the middle of a room with a lot of girls not wearing their tops and guys who are really drunk who are acting more like, you know, you're describing then I'm acting. So I'm just trying to like, stay busy. Like, if that makes sense. Yeah, keep moving, stay busy. So I'm just wandering around looking for people who I know to speak with. And I look up. And this girl is I don't know how to say this. I mean, I guess I just have to say it the way it happened. She's shooting breast milk into the crowd off of the stage.

Mila 39:27
Oh my gosh. And this has happened before guys.

Scott Benner 39:32
So I saw a man and I swear for anybody who listens to this who knows me it was not a person in our group that just saw it and stopped and acted like it was a water fountain and just turn to the stage. And my brain like said to me like, What are we doing here? What are we doing and I was frozen for a minute in this the ridiculousness of what was happening and then I moved on. Oh my god. Yeah, that's But made me wonder like this like can somebody do something weird or like special? Yes,

Mila 40:05
I Yeah, actually there's just one girl who definitely still has mocha. And she was last time we were in VIP. She was screaming and the students face guys just like weird it sometimes like and they love pregnant girls to

Scott Benner 40:18
pregnant girls are popular.

Mila 40:21
Yeah, like they like they will like rub your belly and your feet might give you money. I think that's like, you know, the captain save a ho type vibe, but

Scott Benner 40:28
they love it. Captain save a ho. You slip a lot of fun stuff in, like at the end of the year sentences. I'm just I'm trying very hard to pay attention. So. Okay, so you come back, though. So you're out of work for a while. And did you lose weight when you were diagnosed?

Mila 40:47
Oh my god, I was so skinny. And I just thought it was because I stopped drinking for two weeks. And I was like, wow, alcohol really puts a lot of pounds on you know, I lost. I went from I'm usually 145 I went from 145. Whatever, like 20 pounds. So whatever the math is,

Scott Benner 41:11
okay, once 131 4520 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you're saving money. I mean, if you maybe you're,

Mila 41:21
if you're I mean, I was only out of work I was only out of work for I mean, those six days that I was in the hospital. Gotcha.

Scott Benner 41:27
Did any of the girls come to visit, you

Mila 41:31
know, because it was friggin cold. Like, I was only allowed to have like one visitor days. Just my sister and my, my ex came to see me. But oh, I was only allowed to have them

Scott Benner 41:41
in my head. It was an 80s comedy with starring Eddie Murphy. And like seven dancers showed up at the hospital. And then for the doctors anyway, none of that happened. You're saying?

Mila 41:51
strippers should definitely be allowed to just like go dance for people in the hospital? It

Scott Benner 41:56
would be an uplifting experience. And yeah,

Mila 41:58
and an old homes to

Scott Benner 42:02
think you're onto something. Why don't you start a business?

Mila 42:06
I don't think it's allowed. I have one customer who he he had one of his girls in his room after he had a heart attack and he got kicked out of the hospital.

Scott Benner 42:18
Do customers flame out? Like do you see them a lot for short periods of time? Then they're gone. And then there's somebody new or do you have people? Oh, yeah, yours?

Mila 42:28
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, people? Definitely. Well, for me, like most of my customers, like don't even live in Minnesota at all. Like they're from like New York or LA or something. And they come here like once a year. So I mean, they'll hit me up like once a year, but other than that, yeah, they all come and go.

Scott Benner 42:45
Well, okay, so you leave the hospital, you get a Dexcom? Like, is like where do you where the Dexcom? Usually?

Mila 42:54
I usually wear it on my arm. I've only worn on my stomach one time.

Scott Benner 42:57
Okay. Do people like the guys? I mean, I guess women come to clubs too, right to see women dance. But do do. You get your like, you can't get them confused and take their money.

Mila 43:10
Yeah. Yeah, I don't really talk to girls when

Scott Benner 43:15
I say so.

Mila 43:18
Guys. Yeah, guys upsets up to me like drunk guys. But like, what is that? Yes. And then like, a lot of them are like, because that birth control.

Scott Benner 43:28
Interesting. Now do you? Do you explain to them what it is? Or do you just ignore them?

Mila 43:34
I just I kill their vibe. And I'm like, it's for my diabetes. Every time we like, oh, but sometimes other people have diabetes to like this one guy who we were like, we were like, wow, objects calm and like we like like, put her arms together. And he got like some dances for me. And we were like diabetes buddies.

Scott Benner 43:52
That's crazy, though. That's kind of nice. Yeah, so people will comment on it, and they'll yell out stuff. You'll tell them what it is. So you're not afraid to tell somebody even in that. Do you know me like that? You don't think that makes you less attractive? You don't have that feeling at all?

Mila 44:07
No, yeah, no, no. No, because like, no, no, that's excellent. I guess. I feel like if you see me naked, you would not be paying attention to my Dexcom Yeah, look at

Scott Benner 44:19
you. Mila. Very confident. Okay.

Mila 44:24
Not that hard.

Scott Benner 44:26
Wait. Oh, difficult, man. aren't that difficult? Yeah. Yeah. I'm assuming these guys are all hard. They're just not difficult. Yes, yes. See, I can do work late, so I'm good at this. Okay, so now you're injecting so what's your goal? Like blood sugar? I guess let me ask you this first. I mean, you've only had diabetes for seven months. Really? How are you making out? Like, where's your agency? Like, what are you able to do? Have you been able to accomplish so far?

Mila 44:57
Um, well, when I went in, it was 16. And I just went in recently and it was 7.4. So my doctor was like, just like, yeah, we'll just like want to bring it like under seven. But um, I don't know, he's like, 16 7.4 That's pretty good. But

Scott Benner 45:17
for first jump, it's huge.

Mila 45:19
Yeah, yeah, that's Yeah, but yeah. And then he sent me an email. He's like, but yeah, like, it's like, get that under there. Right? Yeah, I was just like running high for these past two months. Because, like, sometimes I just really don't know what is going on. Like, you know, I feel like I do everything right. And it just is like, does what I want.

Scott Benner 45:38
Okay, so what kind of diet do you have? Like, do you eat like rarely

Mila 45:42
I just eat out a lot.

Unknown Speaker 45:44
I restaurant foods.

Mila 45:46
Before I had diabetes as like the type of girl to eat. I usually I would eat cake like once a day, like just sorry that I love cake and like ice, I guess sweet tooth girl like Cake, ice cream, chocolate, pasta, all cards. And, and now I'm just not that good at. I just feel like I get the doses wrong. Like are like, oh, like so I just don't need it that much anymore. Because I don't like to deal with it like so. I don't know if I don't feel like injecting or anything. I'll just see like, cheese and meat. But okay, or like stuff with no carbs. And then I if I feel like dealing with it, then I'll do it.

Scott Benner 46:25
So while you're while you're working Do you usually eat while you're working?

Mila 46:30
No, no, no, I usually I only I guess I eat like once a day. I just like I'll snap a snack and like meats and meat and cheese. I'm like a super cheat. Like I'm like a cheese where like, I just love cheese. Like I can have like seven shirring cheeses and like three hours. So good. But um that's where I live off of cheese and dinner.

Scott Benner 46:55
Okay, and and so like, do you ever find yourself having to inject at work? Like, is there a number you want to stay under while you're working? And does dancing? Yeah, I mean, how much of a fallacy is the word dancing? Like? I mean, you're not up there Flashdance. Right, like it's, is it? Uh,

Mila 47:09
no. I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm up there moving. I guess. I don't know. I'm like shaking my ass will do do it's definitely a workout. But um, and it's like, yeah, Tucsonans like, 10 minutes a dancing. But, ya know, I try to Well, obviously, I want to stay under. I guess I tried to be under under 180 I guess. And then above, like, I, I guess I don't want to be like, I guess like, I'd rather be like, above, like 100 At least I guess. Because I just get scared. I don't know. I've been like in like the 70s Before now, sir. And just like drink the juice and sit there and have anxiety.

Scott Benner 47:53
That's what I was wondering. Like, have you ever gotten low while you were dancing? Or have you ever been low when you're with a customer privately?

Mila 48:00
Yeah, well, no, the lowest I've ever been with like a customer dancing is like 70. And that's because I was like doing shots. Tequila. Okay. I mean, I guess it was easy to fix. I guess it's not that scary. When you're at the club. It's when it's scary. When I'm like by myself at home. That's, that's scary.

Scott Benner 48:17
What did your employer have to say? Like the I'm assuming you came back and said, Well, I have diabetes Did did you like Phil? Do people understand what that means? Like, would somebody there know how to help you if you had a problem?

Mila 48:29
I mean, hardly, but I mean, yeah, I just like, I guess if I pass out, like, give me some juice, or sugar or something. But most people have no idea for what is what it is. But in they knew though because like my like, my, my friends and stuff told them and he was just like, they were just checking on me. And I didn't do I didn't use stage for like, the first week that I was back and there just was like, kept asking me like, is you diabetes? Okay? I'm like, Yeah, I'm good. And that's like, but as far yeah. So as far as they know, and I'm just like, I never let myself I guess get to a point where I feel like I really need them to like, help me. I never. I don't know. I never I never really go under. Like, barely go. Well, I've been low like one time that wasn't even it was only like 70

Scott Benner 49:20
Gotcha. Do you carry glucagon with you?

Mila 49:23
No, I have those glucose tablets. And then but I have some I don't really even bring those to work because I just they just have like, you know, juice and pop and stuff.

Scott Benner 49:36
Yeah. Hey, so if you're a contractor, then you don't have health insurance through your job. Right?

Mila 49:41
Right. No, and I actually didn't have health insurance until I got diabetes and then they were like, oh, emergency life changing sometimes like that. So they gave me insurance.

Scott Benner 49:54
What what do you have like Medicaid?

Mila 49:57
I think it's called I mean, yeah, it's like, I don't know. It's like, take medical assistants like under the state. So I'm guessing as Medicaid.

Scott Benner 50:07
Okay. Wait, okay, I'm gonna carry it. I think it depends on I'm not sure.

Mila 50:12
I just have a $3 copay.

Scott Benner 50:15
That's pretty great. And you're gonna be able to get a pump.

Mila 50:18
Yes, yeah, sorry. I have to I'm supposed to make an appointment with my educator about so she can like explain to me that my different choices.

Scott Benner 50:27
Gotcha. And I only want one. Yeah. Oh, what is so you said that drinking can affect your affect your blood sugar? How does it affect it?

Mila 50:38
Well, drinking honestly, like usually. I feel like every time after I drink my blood sugar is just perfect for the entire day. What do you doesn't?

Scott Benner 50:48
Is it harder alcohol or beer? Or? Oh, no,

Mila 50:51
I just drink tequila, and Diet Coke. So it's like, I'm not like shooting up or anything because I don't like mix any sugar with it. So it just it really just brings me down really? But it doesn't bring me like low. I'll just basically, like right now because I'm definitely hungover right now.

Scott Benner 51:12
You're hungover right now. Yes. Do you are there ever nights that you go to work? And you're just like, I'm not drinking? I'm not doing any coke. Like, I'm just gonna I'm just here. I'm gonna, like, take some of this

Mila 51:25
money. Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, like, it's not every time it's just like, a lot of times I go to work and I'm like, No drinks for me. But it's just hard for me to say no. And like when a dude say do on a shot of tequila.

Scott Benner 51:39
Do you see that? Yeah, part of your job? Or do you just want the tequila?

Mila 51:42
No, yeah, I just wanted to kill it. Yeah. A little bit of an alcoholic over.

Scott Benner 51:49
I was gonna do you feel like you couldn't say no.

Mila 51:53
I guess I could if I wanted to. Okay. But I don't know.

Scott Benner 52:00
I don't know what that means either. I was just that's, that's all. This is all just based on your life and your answers. I have no idea about any of this. So far. All I've added to this is that I saw a lady lactating in a strip club 25 years. So I've really I've really added nothing else to the conversation so far. And there's an argument to be made. I haven't added anything at all. Although, I gotta tell you in memory, it was a funny memory. The layer and it wasn't the lady that was the funny part. It was the the person the gentle. Let's call him a gentleman even though let's be honest, I don't think he was but degenerate. It's my cousin. Yeah, it's because it caught him by surprise. Here's was The fascinating part about it. He was not looking at the stage. He was walking past this age he caught what I guess you would call shrapnel. You don't I mean, he got a little on the side of the head. It and in a split second. Even as drunk as I assumed he was he figured out what was happening and oriented his body towards the stage and then in an in a way which I think he was trying to be amusing just tilted his head back and open his mouth. And I'm fascinated to this moment how quickly he was because that's not me. Oh, let's say something. When liquid hits you in the head in public your first thought isn't Oh, that's probably something I can put in my mouth. Right? Like no, no. But he assessed the situation in a split second and went right now you could again make the argument that he should have assessed the situation and jumped on the floor, but instead he went away he went I'm never gonna forget that it could probably be one of the last things that I remember on my death get it? I mean, like, like your life memories are flooded from memory. Oh, yeah, really? I can't wait to share on it I have not made a word of that up by the way.

Mila 53:48
ship the ship cook customers are like super fun like if you ever just want to people watch go on a Saturday night. Have a great time.

Scott Benner 53:57
Can I ask you is there any Are you sort of like a doctor in that it doesn't matter what physical condition the person you're seeing is like or

Mila 54:10
Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah. I mean, obviously it's super nice when the customer is hot. But definitely have had like an old man with like, nasty breath like lick my neck before

Scott Benner 54:27
that's gonna be upset Oh my gosh.

Unknown Speaker 54:31
Now not worth $20

Scott Benner 54:33
I just I just got the craziest chill through my shoulders and up through my neck and then I started sweating immediately on my face. Hold on a second. Yeah. $20

Mila 54:43
Yeah, it was just like a regular dance to I was like no.

Scott Benner 54:48
Oh, I really am upset now. Okay. Oh yes, I

Mila 54:50
finished that dance and ran away so

Scott Benner 54:53
so you don't like you don't discriminate based on like body size style, but I mean, what's the most egregious thing somebody can be? I'm guessing it's smelly, right?

Mila 55:02
Yeah, yeah. If Yeah, if you smell bad, like

Scott Benner 55:08
different tell somebody like it's this isn't worth me You stink?

Mila 55:12
No cuz I might embarrass for them like I can't. I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm gonna finish my dance and walk away like you're not going to get another dance for me and I'm definitely not asking you to go to VIP.

Scott Benner 55:23
Is there anything that you do that you're that you're? It's not great for you like, like, What about like? So you we've discussed the very old guy, a smelly guy. What about a young person? Like, have you ever looked at a guy and thought he's too young to be here?

Mila 55:40
Oh my god. Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, Okay, let me see your ID because

you do not look of age. I gave a dancer guy last night and he was 21. He looked like he was like, 14.

Scott Benner 55:52
Yeah. Did he give you pause it all real? Like, he's gonna see my boobs and it's gonna kill him. You know, like,

Mila 56:00
Well, no, no, I'm just like, you're gonna spend all your money.

Scott Benner 56:05
I gotcha. All right. I listen. I think I mean, I'm not judging you. I hope I mean, you know that, obviously. Oh, no, no, I don't feel any judge. I'm just trying to get to the I'm just trying to get to the ideas here. Do you think that having a pump is going to cause you problems at work? Are you really don't think so?

Mila 56:25
No, I don't think it's gonna cause me problems. Because what I get first at first I thought that like, my darks calm would but like, even with that, like, I still make, you know, the same amount of money. So I guess I was just Yeah, I was worried that it would like, just look ugly. Or like, like, I don't know. But now I'm just like, I'd rather like have better control than not because I live like so in the moment. And I, I feel like I will regret it. Like later when I like have like, complication. Just something.

Scott Benner 56:58
You're worried about your health, isn't it? Yes. Yeah. I'll tell you right now. It's, it's stupid, because you just talked about using cocaine, and you drink a lot of tequila, but you're worried about your blood sugar. Yeah. So you think, Well, now that you did you feel worse? Like

Mila 57:19
it's just, I guess it's just crazy. Because to me like those things, I'm like, wow, everybody loves that.

Scott Benner 57:26
You're like, you're really, I'm enjoying talking to you a lot. Like you're you could possibly not be more opposite of me. But I've never I don't if you if you gave me three, like little cups with liquid in them and told me one of these is tequila, like, drink them and figure out which I would have no idea which one is to kill? I don't know. I've never had to kill in my entire life.

Mila 57:49
I mean, gosh, it's so crazy.

Scott Benner 57:52
I've never been high in my entire life. I mean, you could, that that's it's never even occurred to me.

Mila 57:58
I know. But I guess my question is why?

Scott Benner 58:01
It's never occurred to me. I don't know. I could ask. I think you should at least smoke weed or like taken out a bowl. I know. It's not that I couldn't. I just It doesn't if you put it here right now, if you said to me, Hey, look, here's an edible. You take it at your leisure. I just wouldn't take it.

Mila 58:22
You just keep it forever take it in your deathbed or something.

Scott Benner 58:24
We'd probably watch it and one day look at and go Oh, this looks dried up and I throw in the trash. Like I just I would never make it would never occur to me to do it.

Mila 58:32
I guess at this point, it's like for what for? I feel like an edible. Like you probably like call 911 or something

Scott Benner 58:37
I would call 911. I probably am a lightweight because I had like, oh for sure. Oh yeah. Like they give you this cocktail before you get like a medical procedure. And I the guy, like had this a good the nurse kind of brought it on one second. Sorry, my, my voice just broke. The nurse comes up. He's like, I'm gonna give you this. He explains what it is. And I said listen, before you give that to me, you should know like, I don't drink or smoke or do anything. And he goes, Oh, I'm on. Because I'm only gonna give you half of this then I was like, Okay. I always wondered where the other half of it went. Figured out windows pocket. He was like, Oh, alright, but I just found it. Yeah, like because I couldn't like I didn't need all that. Like I really it's just it's but again, not a judgment. Like I'm not looking at your life and saying why are you doing all this? I'm just saying it's like it's never occurred to me. I've had to access to the things that you're speaking of opportunity. It's never occurred to me.

Mila 59:40
It's yeah, and that's mind boggling to me. But But

Scott Benner 59:46
does it is it ever something you think like, one day I got to stop doing this?

Mila 59:53
Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Well like not like party and do coke anymore. You Yeah, I guess it's just hard that I guess the day that I like stop, like, going out. Like I they won't get offered to me because I mean, like I said, like I don't I won't buy it always like always smoke weed though. Yeah, Coke. No, that's just like it's just like a party drug. I'll phase out.

Scott Benner 1:00:22
So that's so when people say I know I'm gonna sound ridiculous for a second to you but when people say party, they mean in a building with a group of people who are mostly inebriated and they enjoy doing drugs and drinking and listening to music. That's party.

Mila 1:00:39
Yeah, basically. Yeah. Like I'm at the bar or something or at a party. Gotcha. That pretty much every single party somebody is going to somebody is breaking down some line somewhere, for sure.

Scott Benner 1:00:51
So let me ask you this question. Who this? I'm gonna give you a baby. We'll call him Billy. Billy. Billy's now your baby. And he's yours to raise. Right? Oh, god. Yeah, it's absolutely frightening. Trust me. So if you want to be like the guy look in your neck. That's nothing compared to having a kid. So yeah, so So Billy is on his way out the door one day. He's gonna go out have mom, I'm gonna go out with my friends. Do you say to him? Well, don't forget to drink and smoke and do coke and have a good time, sweetie.

Mila 1:01:25
No, no, honestly, what I would say is, I mean, if you're gonna do any of that, be safe. And like, I mean, call me if you need anything. Like, I'll help you. Because I think a lot of times parents can be very, like naive and thinking like that their kids aren't going to do drugs are going to try it. Versus like educating them and like making sure that they if they're going to do it, then be safe. Because, you know, just being like, don't go to the Billy like, okay, what are the chances really is gonna fucking listen to me. Yeah. Well, so it's like, give them the tools to be safe.

Scott Benner 1:01:59
I gotcha. Do you think your parents knew you were doing it? Oh, yeah.

Mila 1:02:03
I mean, well, yeah. My dad like, I remember the first time you try me smoking meat is like, grounded me. And then he gave me a bag of weed and was like, you can only smoke it in the house.

Scott Benner 1:02:13
Right? So your dad smokes, too. He caught you doing it? How old? Were you?

Mila 1:02:19
Oh, I was 14. When he first caught me. Yeah. And then the first time I did Coke, I was in 10th grade. And then I never did it again. And then in 11th grade, I did it like, every day,

Scott Benner 1:02:30
in what situation in 10th grade was cocaine available to you? In math class, where you

Mila 1:02:35
like hardens? I'm not gonna lie. I have done a line in math class before it in my book when the teacher wasn't looking. Like, I just paid pay more attention to the travel trip. Because we I mean, my friends are some badass kids. And now that I think about it, I'm like, I can't believe all the things that we were doing. That's insane to me. That's but that's why I'm like, not kids be lying. Like people think their kids are well, angels. No. Hmm.

Scott Benner 1:03:01
Interesting. And then in 11th grade, it was happening constantly.

Mila 1:03:05
Yeah, cuz yeah, I just, that's when I was buying it when I was in 11th grade. And like me, and my friends was doing it every day. We also we had this group of guys too, who like sold it who would like come and pick us up from school and like do with us? How people

Scott Benner 1:03:20
get money in 11th grade to buy Coke.

Mila 1:03:23
Where did I work? I think I read like Coldstone. So I was buying ice cream.

Scott Benner 1:03:30
That I just wait, you got to give me a half a second. I'm gonna take a drink Hold on. So I go into the Coldstone to get a cone. And then I'm like, I see a cup there. It's like, hey, leave us the tip. And I stuffed two bucks in it because like, you're like this 16 year old girl working their side job. And you're like, Oh, I'm so much closer to align rail. That's what's happening. I mean, maybe Are you trying to tipping because I think that's what's happening right now.

Mila 1:03:59
No, no, that's so funny, though. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no kids too crazy. I thought it was fun.

Scott Benner 1:04:07
I I left a fairly large tip with a waiter one time. It was bigger than it should have been. And he was young. And I looked him in the face and I was like, do not buy drugs with my money.

Mila 1:04:16
100%

Scott Benner 1:04:19
and I was screwing around, but it froze him in his tracks. And now you're making me think that happened? Not because he thought I can't believe somebody said that to me, but because he thought oh, I wasn't gonna buy drugs for that.

Mila 1:04:29
He's like, how did he know? You know, I

Scott Benner 1:04:31
was gonna do that. Now I'm gonna just assume that's what's happening.

Mila 1:04:39
For the most part,

Scott Benner 1:04:39
I mean, in social economic, like lines are blurred in the scenario right? Like it's not like it's not like, just like, Oh no, no prospects and no money. It's people. college educated people like it's, it's up and down the line, right?

Mila 1:04:56
Literally, like I would say every single one of my My aunt loves cocaine. And they're like, yeah, they are. I would call them what is it? Like, what are they called? White Collar? Mm hmm. Whatever the color is where they make a bunch of money, those collar people. Yeah. Yeah, one of my regulars here, actually, I don't know how these people aren't having heart attacks at this point. But I remember he was flying us out to Cayman Islands. And we had a layover in Atlanta. And we stopped that, like, we're in the airport, and he's like, you want to bump and I'm like, wait, you had this in your pocket? The entire flight? Like psychopaths. So yeah, they all do it. And like when I say like, everybody does it like, you would be like, shocked.

Scott Benner 1:05:44
Okay. I mean, I listen. Me, let's be clear. I'm shocked. Okay. You've you've I don't think you've said one thing that I have been shocked by. But it's why you're here to tell me about this thing that I don't know about. So I want to like I just keep imagining like that women are listening to this right now. And they're like, Oh, God, I think that might be my husband. You know, maybe like, yeah, that's a worrisome idea. But at the same time, there's got to be plenty of people who don't do anything like that to you just don't meet them. Because you're

Mila 1:06:18
right. I mean, when there's I mean, yeah. Right. There's good. There's good people out there. They're just not an

Scott Benner 1:06:25
interesting, that's an interesting statement. There's good people, do you see them as not good people?

Mila 1:06:31
No, know, I guess. I mean, you know, I'm just like, I guess like, as far as I mean, like, good people. I just mean, like, like, straight edge, like you. Don't drink Don't do drugs.

Scott Benner 1:06:43
I don't think of that as a thing. Isn't that like, I like if you said to me, you're an example of being straight edge. I'd be like, I don't I don't. I don't know what you mean? Like I just, I can do it. Like I just do what occurs to me. I guess that's what everyone's doing.

Mila 1:06:56
Just like, just rad dog in life.

Scott Benner 1:07:00
I mean, when I was younger, maybe. But now, I'd like to save it for a certain weekend, you know, so I hear what you're saying. Okay. This is okay. Wait a minute. I have to collect myself for a second. This happens frequently to me. Can we talk about diabetes management for a couple minutes? Yes. All right. So you have not had diabetes for very long. It's possible. You're honeymooning? Is that possible? Have you seen that? Have you seen days and times when you just don't need as much insulin? And it's kind of like, kind of shocking how much less you need? Well?

Mila 1:07:35
Well, yeah, well, he was telling me my MO was telling me about honeymooning. And I guess I don't, I don't really understand, like, does that mean like, I could, like eat something with carbs and like I wouldn't shoot out. Because if I fade some carbs like I shoot up. So I mean,

Scott Benner 1:07:51
what can happen sometimes meal and may not may not have ever happened to you, and it may not ever happen to you sometimes. There's almost like, I guess sputtering of like your pancreas working like it stops working, you get diagnosed, and then all of a sudden, it kind of picks up again, and starts making some insulin. So you're now adding manmade insulin, but all of a sudden, your body's like, no, no, I can do it. And now you have, you know, now you have too much insulin. But you would really know that if it was happening. It would present a number of different ways. But one of them might be like your feeding like You're like all day you have to snack or you'll get low whether you're whether you've like injected for a meal or not. Oh, Has that ever happened?

Mila 1:08:32
I mean, yeah, I mean, I've been like, I guess I've gotten low before when I thought I was injecting right but I don't know if it was like honeymooning or if it was just because you got the number wrong. I did something that I wasn't used to like when I went to the state fair in the summer. I had like my mix such a scary low experience. But I thought I'd be fine because I ate all these so many carbs and pasta. And I gave myself seven units because they make one to 10 So I thought like this pasta was like seven days and I had so much more than that to add like mini doughnuts and like all this that I didn't those four. So I thought I only needed the seven. And it like shot me down like to where it just says low and it was like double arrows. And I had to have like, I was like shaking and freaking out. I had to have like, like three had chocolates juices, a bunch of glucose tablets and then finally like went up and then after that was like terrified of insulin go after that. Oh, yeah, like I definitely overdid it because I was like freaking out. So I didn't want to wait because I didn't know like, I was just by myself. You know? Alright,

Scott Benner 1:09:44
I'm gonna say something. Vaguely parental to you. But I don't mean to come off that way. Okay. In between tequila, cocaine, and putting your head in somebody's mouth. I want you to listen to the pro tips of the podcast. Will you do that?

Mila 1:10:00
What? Yes, yeah, I've listened to a couple, I need to, like start from, from the beginning

Scott Benner 1:10:05
or at the beginning, just kind of listen through. Because in the end, what you need is to have your Basal somewhere near correct. And then you need to understand how to Bolus for your meals, meaning that you like some foods are going to need like Pre-Bolus thing that's greater than other times, you're gonna have to learn that the meal meal ratios for different foods are different. So where you might be one to 10 for I don't know, pasta, you might be one to 12 or one to eight for something else. And that pasta, you know it, trust me it I know. And like pasta is a good example. Right? You, you eat it, and it doesn't immediately spike your blood sugar up because it takes a longer time for your body to start digesting it. So if you so see what I'm saying you might need it for the pasta, but you might not need it when you're using it, if that makes sense. So the timings messed up a little bit.

Mila 1:10:59
So then like you just do wait to do the answer. And then like you eat to eat it first.

Scott Benner 1:11:05
There's all kinds of things that you can do in all different kinds of situations. Macaroni and cheese is a good example. Right? So the pasta and first of all, no judgment, but boxed macaroni and cheese is going to hit you harder than if you were to go out and buy some, like good pasta at the store and boil it yourself and put like real cheese in it like it like it's not going to be that much better. But it actually might be easier on your system. So the Oh, you were processed foods you eat, the more true you should find your carb ratio working. Example. But but with the macaroni and cheese as an example, you put it in, your body can't start digesting it right away. And it just takes longer to digest. So the impact from it might come later could come an hour, hour and 15 minutes after you eat it. Also, there's fat in the cheese. And the fat slows down digestion more, which pushes the rise up later. What else could happen protein, you could eat meat. And meat doesn't have any carbs in it, but later when it's broken, but later when it's broken down though your body turns into sugar. So you can see a protein rise. So even people who eat very low carb, if they were to go to if they were to go to McDonald's, and like buy cheeseburgers and throw the rolls away and just eat the burgers, they still might need some insulin 45 minutes later for the protein rice and that's all covered in the pro tips. Like it's all in there. So yeah,

Mila 1:12:35
okay. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I remember asking my endo about protein in his like, no,

Scott Benner 1:12:40
they call those free. Right? He probably tells you that cheese sticks are free.

Mila 1:12:44
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but does your blood sugar

Scott Benner 1:12:47
free after you eat that stuff later?

Mila 1:12:51
Hmm. I don't know. I mean, yeah, I guess Sorry. Yeah. Cuz that's like all I snack on and sometimes I wake up.

Scott Benner 1:13:00
Yeah, so you just have to pay attention

Mila 1:13:02
this morning. Yeah, this morning. I was like 240

Scott Benner 1:13:05
steps. Yeah, that time. We don't want that. So

Mila 1:13:08
then I went down to 198

Scott Benner 1:13:11
It's a you woke up at 246. And then it came back on its own to 198.

Mila 1:13:16
Yeah, so I'm guessing I was like, maybe the tequila hitting or something? I don't know. It could be. I don't know cuz I didn't do any insulin. I just, it went back down on its own.

Scott Benner 1:13:27
What time of day? Do you shoot your? Your Basal insulin?

Mila 1:13:31
That's the Lantus. Right? Yeah. At at 8am, if I remember, so I'm

Scott Benner 1:13:37
gonna guess I forgot to do it today. We got to do it. And I got what I would guess is that the Lantis probably is not really lasting a whole 24 hours, like the label says. So maybe you're drifting up in those last 810 hours of the 24 hours? Because the Lantis is not as powerful at that point. Then you put the Lantis back in and starts working again. That makes Yeah, yeah,

Mila 1:14:01
cuz yeah, it started going up at three, C went down at 8am.

Scott Benner 1:14:07
So it's easier to do this stuff, once you start understanding, kind of like what's what's expected to happen. So when you go on a pump, you won't have that problem with Lantis anymore.

Mila 1:14:20
Because yeah, because it just doesn't work for you. Yeah, you'll stop anthesis in the pump, too.

Scott Benner 1:14:25
There's no Lantis in the pump. What will happen is you'll stop, you'll stop taking the Lantis the pump will just have your meal insulin and what are you using? Novolog? Humalog? Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah. So you'll fill the pump with Novolog. And when you want to have a meal, you'll say hey, like I just had 12 carbs. And it'll it'll, you know, based on your meal Bolus give you insulin, but it will also give you tiny little spurts of insulin. All throughout Africa. Yeah, for Basal that'll also be covered in the Pro Tip series. Okay, all right. I want you to listen, I know

Mila 1:14:58
Yeah, I'm just saying To

Scott Benner 1:15:02
know, I know don't

Mila 1:15:03
have it listed on your website course.

Scott Benner 1:15:05
It's everywhere. Yeah.

Mila 1:15:10
Yeah. So um, so how to explore find which ones are the perfect?

Scott Benner 1:15:14
Yep, you could listen to them at juicebox podcast.com. You can listen to them at diabetes protip.com You can find them by scrolling through your podcast app. But seriously, it might take you 2025 hours, you know, over the course of a month. But if you listen through those, I promise you, you will have a better understanding of what you're doing. And oh, yeah, for sure. It sounds like it's important to you don't want to. I mean, you're not looking to have like serious complications 1015 years from now, so you're gonna need to understand all this, you know, plus, we want those boobs to hold up. Yeah. I'm saying so main issue. Can I ask? Are they more like small and perky are kind of big and wonders.

Mila 1:15:59
Question they're not small. No, they're I guess what the Double D is in perky. Oh, my

Scott Benner 1:16:06
goodness. Congratulations. are great. Just did you get them from your mom? Have you ever thanked her?

Mila 1:16:15
Yeah, shout out to my mama. She has like size up though. So Thank God my like stuffed. Wow. Those are humongous.

Scott Benner 1:16:22
stand for huge. You think?

Do your parents listen? This is silly question because I think the answer is yes. But Do your parents know what you do for a living?

Mila 1:16:37
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Scott Benner 1:16:38
I ever tried to stop my grandma to wait, your grandma strips. Or your grandma knows.

Mila 1:16:44
No, no, my grandma knows my grandma. Just be like cool. Shakedown. Ask her. Yeah, my family's like, a bunch of like little hippies.

Scott Benner 1:16:51
Yeah. What other time? What background? Are you guys?

Mila 1:16:57
My mom's Right. and Mexican. And my dad was black by native. Okay, actually just passed away. November 12. That's sweet. Wait. Yeah,

Scott Benner 1:17:10
that's what I was saying to you. Okay, so what was your dad using? And he got caught with something he didn't know he had?

Mila 1:17:18
Um, I mean, yeah. So for the longest time he has had like painkillers because he kept his legs really bad in a car crash like 15 years ago, whatever. So then, you know, he got addicted to pain pills. And then he discovered fentanyl. But his girlfriend told me that he had been experimenting with it for six months. But that's all it took. Wow. To take him away from us. So sorry. How old was he? That's actually a good question. I don't know his burden. 63.

Scott Benner 1:17:51
Hold on, we can do the math together. Let's do that. I need a pen. This is embarrassing. And I know you don't

Mila 1:17:57
know I'm so bad at math. In math class. So

Scott Benner 1:18:00
hold on a second. So 1022. He said 6319 83. Now here, let me do some math. So the twos overtop of the three. So we have to move one over. So we take the one from that. Make that to one. Bring that one over. Now we have 12. So there's nine, I got a nine. Now I can't subtract six from one. So I have to borrow again. So now that 19 makes that 11 and 11 minus six is 789 10. And five. Your dad was 59. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right. He was. I wasn't high in math. I at least know how to do simple subtraction. Better than me. I still had to write down. It's very

Mila 1:18:41
embarrassing. So I'm gonna just just do my calculator.

Scott Benner 1:18:45
Yeah, but listen, I knew you weren't going to be any help. When you told me you lost 20 pounds. You were 145. And you're like, so I don't know what that made me. I was like, yeah,

Mila 1:18:52
no. This let's thinking alright, so

Scott Benner 1:18:59
what have I not asked you that I should have asked you. Is there anything I missed? Or something that you think people should know?

Mila 1:19:08
I don't know. I don't think so.

Scott Benner 1:19:10
No. Do you have a podcast about this?

Mila 1:19:14
No, I podcast about sex work.

Scott Benner 1:19:16
I know. I miss what I'm saying. Like you. How long have you been doing that?

Mila 1:19:20
Oh, um, I don't know. Just a year. Yeah, just like a year.

Scott Benner 1:19:25
Do I tell people what the bias is called? You can? Oh,

Mila 1:19:28
it's called other words for horror with is an x where the OH is for horror. And yeah, it's an app on Spotify. And I just I interview sex workers from like, all over and we just take shots and touch.

Scott Benner 1:19:41
Wow, you get drunk and talk about this about your job? Yeah, what is the career

Mila 1:19:46
and like, you know, we just try to like, you know, also like, you know, a little bit education in there, like sex workers or people to

Scott Benner 1:19:53
Yeah, no, I understand. Do you? I think that's, honestly listen. I think it's important I'm like, I'm not joking around, like, I've tried to be fun and have a good time here. I try really hard to let all kinds of like, listen, I think it's fair to say I'll you know, this podcast is very well listened to. And I could easily ignore stuff like this and pretend it doesn't happen and make everybody comfortable and happy. But the truth is that there are a lot of people listening to this podcast, who drink who do code who strip who do all kinds of things who like us. And those people deserve stable blood sugars too. And they deserve I deserve to understand what their Basal insulin is doing. And and everything else that goes along with having diabetes, you don't get to not have healthy diabetes. Like, I know this sounds crazy, but you do coke doesn't stop me from believing that you should have good blood sugars. But I think some people would. But I think some people would think that I think some people would think well, she obviously doesn't care about her health. She's doing drugs and drinking. So who cares about the rest of us, but I care? Like the answer is if the question is, who cares? The answer is I do you know what I mean? Yeah. So I wanted to have you on like to learn about your life, because it's, it's uncommon. It's, you know, it's, it's interesting. And I think you should, you know, you should be applauded for finding a podcast about diabetes. I mean,

Mila 1:21:24
yeah, I'm so glad I found your podcast, it's been super helpful.

Scott Benner 1:21:28
I'm glad I really hope you dig into the prototypes, because I think they'll be really valuable for you, I think the pumps gonna be big deal for you. But understanding some of those things, like, you know that your blood sugar could go up in the morning when you wake up, or that you're, you know, some of those older injected Basal insulins don't work 24 hours sometimes, or you know how to figure out the difference between different foods and stuff like that. It's a big deal. Like, it'll, it'll go a long way to you getting your a one C lower, eliminating low blood sugars and eliminating big spikes, which is really what you're trying to do. You're trying to not have big spikes. You're trying not to have frequent lows. And you're trying to have stability, you know, honestly, is close to 8090 95 as you can, which will give you an A one C in the fives. Yes. And you can just go kill yourself with something else, but at least it won't be the diabetes. Damn it

Mila 1:22:25
long as it's such a killer.

Scott Benner 1:22:27
Yeah, listen, let it be the tequila. Not this. Also, do you seriously think you need help with alcohol? Like, should I be telling you to call a sponsor or something like that? Oh, I don't know. Know, where my responsibility ends and all this? You don't know. Alright. Alright, so last thing, you have a daughter one day, she comes to you. She's like, Mom, I'm gonna dance you stopper? Are you supporter?

Mila 1:22:52
Um, I would definitely support her but I you know, educator first. Okay. I would hope I would hope that, like men have my kids. Like, if I ever had kids, hopefully they would not like, have to. Because like most people, like do it to like, get out of like being poor. That's the one. You can make a ton of money though. So

Scott Benner 1:23:13
yeah, no, I mean, it's not just not being poor. Right? Like, I mean, $1,000 Nights a lot of money.

Mila 1:23:19
Right? No, yeah. Once you're in it you're in. So it's just like, but it's not something life's up everybody. I mean, you're my lifestyle is? Yeah, everybody can not even I can keep up with it. So

Scott Benner 1:23:30
Right. Are you? Do you think you're like particularly built for it? Or do you think that for economic reasons? You just didn't have a choice?

Mila 1:23:41
Um, no, I think I think I'm definitely built for it. I mean, I I really having like a boss and like working like a vanilla job. Like it was terrible to me. Yeah.

Scott Benner 1:23:54
Like, if you and I were dating, you'd leave me in like, what like three days? Probably. You'd be like, Oh my God. I gotta go. Right. Like it's why wait, why not looking for super normal, right.

Mila 1:24:10
I mean, I don't know. I feel like I feel like I feel like my, to me. My life is normal. I guess. I don't know.

Scott Benner 1:24:17
Yeah, I guess nor me. I guess it's more of what I meant. Like, just kind of boring. I probably like my life would feel boring to you.

Mila 1:24:25
Yeah, well, yeah, probably.

Scott Benner 1:24:27
No, trust me. It's almost boring to me. So I you know,

Mila 1:24:31
I mean, unless do you go in maybe if you go to Mexico vacation or something?

Scott Benner 1:24:34
I would if I could stop working long enough. But I just I work a lot. So I podcast right. Yeah. Are you kidding? This podcast comes okay.

Mila 1:24:44
Do you have like another job?

Scott Benner 1:24:46
I would not have time for another job. Oh, I was gonna say yeah. I mean, I have kids right there in college, like raising people is exhausting.

Mila 1:24:56
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever have kids. I have a dog and that's enough for me.

Scott Benner 1:25:00
Gotcha. That's good. I mean, I think we should do another one. Like, I don't think people should feel pressured into having children. Honestly. No, no. If it's not for you, it's not for you. And that there's nothing wrong with that. All right,

Mila 1:25:14
yeah. Nobody needs to be underneath my care. Even you hardly

Scott Benner 1:25:23
did the diabetes, things seem unfair because of the lifestyle you live. Do you think, Oh, this is like so unlike? Because it's very regimented. And there's nothing regimented about it.

Mila 1:25:32
It's kind of the most fix up thing that could have ever happened. Yeah, it's just a lot of thinking and a lot of math. And I'm so bad at math. And I hate like, the fact you have to like, think about it

constantly. Yeah, it's just annoying. A lot of work. Yeah. It's like a second job. For no reason.

Scott Benner 1:25:53
Well, it's good reason. It's gonna keep me alive. Yeah, yes. How's your hangover doing isn't getting any better?

Mila 1:26:01
Yeah, it's actually getting better. Good.

Scott Benner 1:26:04

Oh, I see. You're

Mila 1:26:25
trying Are you trying to get us in?

Scott Benner 1:26:29
That's what I was about to get to. You're saying it's not like everybody's just running. So people kind of like, there's a lot of people who come in, take some money, use it up, then come back and get more again.

Mila 1:26:40
Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, gotcha. Those girls were in every day. And then those girls who? I don't know, I worked like three days a week.

Scott Benner 1:26:46
Okay. All right. Well, Jesus, I would like to work through this way. That sounds good. Sadly, no one is going to give any money to see my so we're pretty much there. That's not gonna happen. How many times you never know. You don't you never know. Trust me. Let me just say it a different way. I don't want to meet the person who would pay money. Okay, how's that? That's specific. Let's get it over under right now. How many times do you think I'm gonna have to bleep out the word?

Mila 1:27:20
Oh, gosh, I didn't even know how to bleep that out so many times. Yeah.

Scott Benner 1:27:24

Let me tell you a little behind the scenes story. So the day after I record with Mila I record with Tony, Tony's got this young daughter you won't hear her episode for many months but and I could hear her daughter at one point in the background. She had the sweetest little voice. And after she and I recorded I said I'm gonna be forever editing Milos episode, because she said this so many times and she cursed and I'm gonna have to pull out all the cursing and I didn't you know, I love the episode. But as I go, it's gonna take forever. And she said, Maybe you should bleep it out with Arden's voice, same boobs. And I was like, oh, Arden wouldn't do that. But it would be funny. I said actually, what would be funnier is if your daughter did it with her little tiny little baby voice. And later that day I received an email with I think like four outtakes of her little daughter saying boobies and it was just adorable. It turned out to be too much editing for me to slide it in every time. Mila said these, but I wanted to put them here for you at the end so you could hear them. Just before I do that, I want to Say I didn't have any trouble with any of the words that mula used today. And if it was up to me, I would never take them out of the episode. But in order for me to have a clean rating for the podcast so that it can be heard in all different countries. I can't curse on an episode that says it's clean. And if I say an episode has curse words in it, then the podcast will be eliminated from some countries. bleeping and childish words are the answer to that. Movies. Thank you so much for listening. There are a ton of other after dark episodes, go find them in your podcast player, or at juicebox podcast.com. I'll be back very soon with another episode of The Juicebox Podcast. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. I enjoyed bringing it to you. There's much more coming. Make sure you subscribed or you're following in a podcast app or an audio player. Movie movie boom boogie. Do we boo boo
