Sarah Hill Discusses Women’s Health and Cybersecurity Awareness with Tom Bradley on TTBS Podcast

Whether we like it or not, he's the self-proclaimed governor of mid-Missouri, and he's the host of TTBS, the podcast. Since we can't shut him the hell up, here's Tom Bradley. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Nikki Garmin. It is always wonderful to have you helping us out on the intro of the podcast. And Ellis Bennis, would you do me a favor, and I know you had something you hit me about this morning you want to talk about. And this is scams? Yeah, basically a PSA, just about scams that are going on right now. Did somebody hit you up at the grocery store and be like, hey man, I'm selling… No, it's so much worse than that. It is? Yeah, I've had clients that are getting ripped off. I've had friends and family that are getting scammed. And so I just, I even put on a presentation at church. It's not from this podcast or anything like that? Absolutely not, no. I wouldn't tell anybody about that. It's that local church or anything. We're going to get you to heaven if you just drop it in the basket. We'll get into this PSA momentarily, but good morning, my friend. Good morning. Good to have you here. What are you seeing over there? The screen looks like it's black. I don't know if it's just me or… Well, it could be a little of that, but now we're here. There you go. How's that? Thank you for checking on that. Always. I appreciate that. So we have a couple of things to get into. Number one, our guest this morning is going to be Sarah Hill. She walked in this morning, and I was my polite self, all right? I'm going to be gushing on her so hard in this podcast, and that's the truth. But I didn't want to pre… Pre-gush? Thank you. Thank you very much. You did that very well. Yeah, because you know how I want to save stuff for when we're really, really… And I, oh my gosh, I think the world of Sarah Hill. Because I can't believe she's actually said yes to, and devoted time to be on this podcast. I think she flew in for this. I'm not really sure, but I think that she is a big, big deal. She's a big deal in my heart, and for good reason. So we'll talk to Sarah Hill. It's going to be a fun conversation, and a tough one as well. And something every woman out there should be listening to, but especially every dude who loves a woman, because we're going to be talking about women and some weird heart attack thing that came into Sarah Hill's life. We have a lot of other things to talk about, too, but we want to get into that. We're live from Truman's Bar and Grill. They've got a bunch more live music planned for the next couple of months, but I got to tell you, this weekend, KU in town to take on Mizzou. They're going to get their asses kicked, and you are going to kick the ass of the buffet at Truman's on Saturday before the game, or Sunday after all the festivities, and you wake up the next day. The breakfast buffet at Truman's is absolutely remarkable. So enjoy that, and also the Bloody Mary Bar as well. And get me into this thing. Before we go into things like talking about keeping your eye on the crab and releasing the hounds, what is the PSA you want to mention? Really, I just want to warn people, if anybody messages you, if you get an email or anything, just doubt everything. So here's just a quick rundown of three things that have happened in just the last month. I had one client with a subcontractor that they're not my client, but the other people's computer got hacked. So my contractor got an email saying, hey, we need to change all of our banking information. They lost out on tens of thousands of dollars, and so my client wasn't to blame. They got a legitimate email from the same person they talked to about all the billing. The subcontractor had no idea until three weeks later, they hadn't had any payments. I've had multiple people contact me that their Facebook pages got hacked because they don't have two-factor authentication. They're using password 1234, and if you're thinking, like, I don't really care about my Facebook, think about your family. So if your Facebook account gets hacked, and I get a message from you saying, hey, Ellis, I'm in jail right now. I really need, you know, $100 or whatever. Send it through here, and I'll get out. Think about how often they could do that. How many of your family may not know that, so you're putting them at risk, not to mention all of your memories, all of this stuff. Hold on a second. If somebody hacks into my Facebook account, what are they getting? They can get all of your pictures, all of your content, but the biggest thing is they can then message all of your friends and family, and I mean, how fast would it spread a malware attack? Like, you've probably got, what, 800, 1,000, 2,000 friends on Facebook. They can really quickly, with bots, spam out all of them and say, hey, check this link out that I just saw. It's coming from Tom. They're thinking, oh, this is cool. They click on it. Boom. They've got malware on their computer. They've got malware on their phone. And then the malware helps get all the passwords and the credit card and banking information over there. Yeah, it can be devastating. So even if you don't care about yourself, you've got to care about your family and friends that you've got to protect yourself from this, and it can cost you very real money. None of the social media profile companies care. If your site gets hacked, if you lose your profile, it's gone. There's no phone number. How about this? Why don't we go in more detail? Why don't you act as a guest on this podcast on an upcoming episode, and we'll go deep on this thing? Because I think you could probably put on seminars once a week if we could get enough people together for it, but you're better off to do it online. Absolutely. But if you send out a message that says, hey, I'm going to do this online seminar about hacking, people should be suspect because they don't know what they're getting into. Absolutely. So just doubt everything. And they told us that back, you know, what is it? Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. I think that was right. Well, in the advent of AI and scammers, just doubt everything. I think it's a great idea to have you on. It was my idea. I think it's a great idea to have you on an upcoming episode of TBS, the podcast and talk about these things. And I really need some education. Absolutely. I don't want people to get hurt. So thank you. I said to Deb yesterday, yeah, I started off one of my things and another thing. I started bitching about something. And I said, you know, this is the problem with not having a daily radio show anymore, which as of this weekend, I realized somebody was asking. And I said, it's been six months. Oh, wow. Six months flies by, flies by so fast. And it felt like yesterday we were sitting in Buttonwood. So it's been so recently. I know. Six months is gone. Just like that. Before we know it, it'll be a full year. And we're, I think we're like four months already into this podcast. That's awesome. I think this is episode number 18. Is that right? That sounds right. I think so. Man, that's amazing. That means we're over four months, just over four months. Anyway, the time flies by. And I said, that's the problem. It's like, I want a chance to jump on and bitch about it. And I remember, ding, we have Keep Your Eye on the Crap at the end of the podcast. And I get to bitch about something that's really annoying me. And so I forgot all about that, that I had that. So that makes me feel better. And it's also making me feel like it's time to release the hounds. Release the hounds! All right, brought to you by Creekside Pet Center, Creekside's Bed and Biscuit, and Dirty Harry's in Boonville. Two things coming up. I want you to remember, fourth annual Pups, Pints, and Petting Zoo at Pierpont. Did you play in that when he pees? Was that alliteration on purpose? It was, but it wasn't me. That's amazing. I know that it was. September 7th, it's this Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We are going. We're taking little man Bradley. He told me this weekend, he goes, there's no question about it, G-Paw, I want to be a veterinarian. And we were out fishing, and I said, so you want to be a veterinarian, like pets or like more like a zoo? I just told you earlier about San Diego Zoo being the largest in the United States, or one of the largest. They go, yeah. He goes, exotic animals, hello. I'm like, this is what it's like when they're almost 12, and they treat you like crap out there. So, and then the following week, I don't know how Creekside is doing, but the following week is their Pettacular. It's their 10th birthday bash, September 13th, that's a Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Follow them on Facebook. You'll know all these things are going on, so check that out. And here's the announcement for this week. I don't know why I did this. I really don't. KWRT, Matt Billings, Robin Billings, reached out to me and said, Tom, would you do us a favor? I guess that's what I'm calling it. And join us every Friday morning to talk about what the hell's going on in Columbia. We're in Boonville, and people here live in, have friends in, or work in Columbia, and we go back and forth all the time. Why don't you report for us every Friday? And I immediately said yes. I don't immediately say yes to anything. But then again, maybe you say yes to something and good things come your way. There's like a movie about that. Who was that? Was it Jim Carrey? Somebody else. They started saying yes. Oh, Yes Man. Yeah, that was Jim Carrey. That was a great movie. Yes Man. I love that movie. Okay, well, for one morning, I was a Yes Man. All right. I had three people approach me with three different requests, and two of them I said yes to, and one I said no to. One of the yeses was to KWRT. Are you still in that mood? Because I have some bills to pay. So is that over? That was a one day thing? It happened. It was less than a day. It was two thirds of a day and then the third third, it fell by the wayside. So 1370kwrt.com and I think it's 830 tomorrow. And Deb said, so you're doing a podcast every Thursday, and then a radio report every Friday. And I looked at it and she goes, and how much money are you making from all this? And I'm like, why do you have to go and sweat that kind of stuff? I don't know why you got to pay attention to those things. There's no need for that at all. The other thing I want to do is as we bring on our guests this week, I want to go ahead and let the guest bed just run just a little bit. I just want to hear it. Because it's the closest I've ever been to actually being in a recording studio and playing every single instrument. Although it was in my own office. That's not, you can't really call that a recording studio. It's good enough. But it was fun to do anyway while it lasted. That's why I wanted to, I have to brag about things that I can brag about. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say another thing I want to brag about is welcoming to the guest chair of this morning on TTBS the podcast. I think she calls herself a friend of mine, but I'm not sure. Ladies and gentlemen, it is Sarah Hill. Good morning, Sarah. Good morning. Absolutely. We are BFFs. It's good to see you. We are really? Yes, absolutely. Wow. For years and years. We've known each other a long, long time. It's been a long time, which is why the spring when I saw it, I didn't even know there was spring. I think it was almost like more like the beginning of summer when you posted it, that you had gone through something involving a real health scare. And I want to get into it and talk about that. But right now this morning, how are you doing? I'm doing great, better than I deserve, happy, healthy, and my heart's doing well. So yeah. What are you, what are you drinking this morning? Oh, you had to out me, didn't you? Yeah. She even hit it off the table. Well, it really messed me up. She goes, I've got my cold coffee, and then she pulled up a soda bottle. Hopefully my cardiologist is not watching. What is it? Can you show me? It's a diet Pepsi. I get one a day. You're worried about a diet? Only one. I can only have one. You're worried about a diet Pepsi? Well, you know, after you have a heart attack, you have to limit your caffeine. And I used to have like 12 of these a day. Did you really? Yeah. Like up until the time? Yeah. The day of? I didn't. That was what I drank. Wow. So yeah. I was very addicted to caffeine. Wow. Yeah. But yeah, right after my heart attack, I had to have no caffeine at all, which was worse than anything else. But now I can have one. I know that sounds like it's a thing you would expect, but I swear to God, I didn't know that. Like, I enjoy my coffee. Is somebody going to take that away if I have a heart attack? Decaf coffee. Well, in the immediate aftermath, you know, your heart is healing and it's a stimulant. So, you know, there was a period where right after that, I had to stay away from caffeine. That was the heart. Yeah. Terrible headaches. Gosh. I reread your story this morning. It's interesting because I really, Sarah, I don't need to sit here and spend a lot of time trying to figure out who you are before you come on the podcast. You and I know each other really, really well. And I've always been a big fan of you, who you are, not just what you do, but the person that you are. I'm a big fan of you. And but I went back through and I read the story about your heart attack again. And it's scary. So you guys were in Vegas. And I'm not really sure where to begin on this thing, except you guys were going to Bellagio for what, breakfast? And you weren't feeling very good. But it's not like in the movies where people go, and they grab their chest, they fall to the floor. It wasn't like that. It was more like you weren't feeling good. And for those people, especially women or guys that are paying attention to the women in their life, it felt like what? What did it feel like? A very subtle bellyache. Really? Not necessarily nauseous. I just felt off. As a matter of fact, I popped a few Tylenol before going down to get breakfast. I didn't have any chest pain at that time. But by the time, you know, we had got in the restaurant, and we had waited in line for probably about 25 minutes to get in, you know, when I was I was standing up, and by the time I had sat down, hadn't even eaten anything, just, you know, it started in the side of my chest. And for, you know, your women who are listening, kind of on the vertical seam of your bra, not even in center chest pain. You're pointing to your left side, wasn't your left side? Yeah, on the left side, kind of under your armpit. We will hear about people, men, I guess, that have like a pain shooting down their left arm, right? Yes. But it didn't go quite like that. No, and it wasn't like immediate chest pain all of a sudden. It was gradual. Started out here. And then I was like, I just feel weird. And so, you know, Rob made some jokes, and I got up and walked around a little bit because I thought, ah, you know, is this a cramp? Or what is it? And then, you know, he really started to dial in that, you know, something was seriously wrong. And then, you know, I got some of the center chest pain, and then it started going down my arm. And he's like, we're not jacking around with us, called the ambulance immediately. And you know, they got me there in time. Good on him. That is amazing. He is a victim of a heart attack also? He had a blockage in his LAD called the Widowmaker when he was 45. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So he had a stent. He also had a blockage in his right coronary. And so he had been through this, and he had remembered when he was having his issues that there was a blood level called troponin that is indicative of cell death, and that you've had a heart attack. And you know, when I wasn't getting better in the ER, and you know, they're looking at me, I look healthy. And you know, while I was having classic signs of a heart attack, you know, they were saying panic attack. And I had had panic attacks before. Oh, you had? Oh, yeah. In your post, when you wrote about it, I thought maybe you're like, look, I'm fine. I'm not having a panic attack. But you have had them, so you know what you're talking about. Yeah. And I had said, this is different. Like this is chest pain, it's, you know, going down my arms, I feel off. And you know, Rob advocated for me, and is like, hey, listen, I don't think this is that. Can you draw a troponin blood level? I'm like, look at him, like, where'd you pull that out of it? And he's like, there's this level, this blood level, I know that they, it's like a protein or something like that. And so he Googled it, and then he asked the nurse, hey, can you draw this level on there? Sounds like a health care professionals didn't even think of it. Right, this sounds like an episode of Scrubs. They're like, here, would you please do this? The patient is dying on the table and has to ask for certain things. Oh my gosh. It was an inner city hospital, super busy. I mean, you had people, it was high to flu season. And granted, I came by ambulance, so I was expedited, but I was in a hallway for more than 24 hours, you know, not getting better because they didn't have any beds. And at the time, they didn't know I was having a heart attack. But after he asked them to draw the blood level, if it elevates over a period of time, it's indicative of cell death and that, you know, you're having a heart attack. And again, this is not medical advice, I'm not a doctor, but, you know, they did the initial test and they came back and they said, well, actually, it's elevated. And we're concerned. So stuff is going on right now. Yeah. And then by the, you know, in several hours later, it was more than 1700, a troponin level, which is, you know, more than a thousand times the normal limit. So I was having a big old heart attack. And who knows, like they might not have even thought to check for that. Like you're in a hallway for 24 hours, they might not even thought to check for that. It's mind blowing. Yeah. And but, you know, again, I'm not squawking. I mean, I am in pain, but they're managing the pain and they did the right things. They gave me, you know, a big pile of baby aspirin. They had me on hemocrit clot plus busting drugs when I was there. So they were treating me, you know, as a protocol. Being on the safe side. Yeah. Were they only doing that because of what your husband said or is that a protocol for like anybody? That's a protocol for anybody, but at the time they didn't know that it was a heart attack. And but, you know, when my my last one came, that was 1700, they're like, OK, suddenly you got a room. And by the way, we're going to the O.R. immediately. So yeah, it was it was an eye opener. And through this time, I had perfectly normal EKG, perfectly normal. So that's, you know, with heart attacks, it can either be electrical, it can be obstruction or it can be something else. And I had the something else, which means what is the something else? So there's electrical, there's blockage and then yeah, a scad. It's called spontaneous coronary artery dissection. So a couple of my arteries just suddenly burst. And it's common in women of menopausal age due to hormones. And also immediately after pregnancy. So fluctuations. I mean, that's that's a huge difference on on that kind of thing. But that would have to do with what's biologically going on inside your body points in our lives. For the sake of knowing on this and this is earlier this year. How old are you? Fifty four. Fifty four. Yeah. So, you know, of that age and, you know, apparently it's happens most scads can happen most in women of our age and there are type one and type two heart attacks and type two heart attacks, you know, primarily impact women. When they did my heart caths, basically they go in your body and check all of your vessels to see what's blocked. Mine were squeaky clean. And so, you know, I asked the doctor, well, how do you have a heart attack with squeaky clean arteries? Yeah. He said, these are type two menopausal arteries.
