You know, the fantasy in the club is that you're a big baller and you have such a great

life and your life style is great and the reality is these guys are just as broken as us, you know.

This is Death, Sex and Money.

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot, I need to talk about more.

I'm Anna Sale.

Every man wants to put the dollar in your jeep street and that's not allowed no more.

I called up Jessica Barra at home in El Paso, Texas where she lives with her husband and

young son.

She's 24 and works at a topless bar called the Red Parrot.

I know a lot of girls in the industry like to say I'm a dancer or I'm an exotic dancer,

but for me I just come out and I'm like oh I'm a stripper.

Jessica's been doing this work for the past six years since she was 18 but she told me

her job looks very different today than it did before.

Everyone who comes to the club has to get their temperature taken, wear a mask and stay

spaced apart.

We have these buckets at the end of the stage where if they wanted to be you they could

either put it physically on the stage or they could put it in the bucket but there's

no way they can physically touch you whatsoever.

Sometimes the guys just want to feel your skin, you know, or be able to put it in your bra

or you do that little move where you pull out your jeep street and you look at them and

they're like oh my god.

You don't get that anymore, the interaction is not there.
