Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like I said, I went to see Christmas Carol a
couple of weeks ago with my family and it put
me right into Christmas mood. And I've been listening to
iHeart Christmas Classics. It's got a blue Snowflake if you
find it online. It's the best one because it's got
all the Frank Sinacha stuff and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
As we hear little Keith Richards on his eighty second
Happy Birthday, Keith rich.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
One of these Radio eight forty whas with Tony and
Dwight Chill brought you by the Kentucky Offensive Highway Safety.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
One of my favorite times of year is Christmas because
it means I get to go see all of my
in laws and hang out their house and listening to
their thrilling conversations.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Is that in Pine not Kentucky or Broken Stick in Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't it's I.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Think those are two actual towns.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah. But one of the things I really love is
seeing my dear friend Bernie Lovers.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Bernie, how you doing man, morning man? I guess Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I guess it's been almost thirty or has been over
thirty years. I've known you going back to the Rocky.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And Troy days feels like sixty.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Good look for him if it was like sixty. Right.
But here Don and Terry were the first two people
to introduce me on stage.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wow, wow, you are old.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, RETIREI didn't take We were talking.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
About it across my fingers when I said it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, but so you're still in the bourbon world, and
we wanted to get this song out of you. But
of course, but I want to talk about bourbon for
a second because I find it fascinating. And we were
talking about how it has grown. So is there a
decline in the bourbon market? And you mentioned it's a
correction that kind of needs to happen because we went
(01:37):
from fourteen distilleries to how many?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, so this is not long ago. So at two
thousand and five I started in the industry. There was
ten distilleries in Kentucky twenty years ago. Yeah, twenty one
years ago, owned by ten, six companies. So ten distilleries
by six companies are only six companies making bourbon back then.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Then outside of Kentucky there were four and three of
them weren't even bourbon.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That is insane.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So that was Jack Daniels, George Dikell MGP, which is
Ross and Squib now in Indiana. But they weren't even
making bourbon. But you got to count. I mean then
there was one in Virginia.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So just to be generous, we're gonna go ahead and
say fourteen America, he ask me, technically ten, but let's
go ahead and we'll give it the fourteen.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So fourteen, now is it to eleven? Downtown Louisville?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There's thirteen? Wow, that's part of the song.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Here's here, but here is the staggering here's the staggering
number on this though. So we went from basically twenty
twenty one years ago. We went from and this is
a generous number, fourteen to how many now?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So just in Kentucky we have over one hundred oh Mitlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What about nationwide?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Twenty two hundred plus?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Oh my gosh. So it's grown from fourteen to twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, see what I did?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yees Bie, Yes, Bernie the Kentucky's burbn Bashard gets out
there and.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, wasn't there a gentleman's agreement? Or because we were
in advertising radio at the time, I thought there was
like a gentleman's agreement because we didn't have any commercials
that had bourbon on it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, it was a straight up it was a radio
gentleman's agreement. We will not accept alcohol, meaning real we
would take beer beer, yeah, but as far as great alcohol,
we wouldn't take it because we didn't want to open
up the door to you know.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And I remember that the radio went, well, forget that rule,
let's go get it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I was the first sales guy to bring alcohol on
the air, and it was tough.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So it's your fault just because you showed up drunk that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
One time.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
At one time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, but it's an interesting industry. I'm always make a joke.
Everyone I know either has a podcast or their own bourbon. Yeah,
it's every It seems like every week somebody former U
L basketball player or a guy whoever starts their own bourb.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So it's gonna look like it. You know, the industry
is in trouble. We can all look at our windows
and see the bourbon tourism is very strong.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
And you know there's people still lined up at heaven
Hill Distillery and Mixer's downtown here seeing what they're you know,
in the freezing cold sometimes like what are they gonna
and the interesting thing is like at Heaven Hill, we
don't even say what we're having for sale that day, right,
So our owner Max coming down and says, what's there's
three hundred two hundred people in line. It's not an
exaggeration ww And he goes, well, what what are they
(04:28):
going to buy? And they go, well, here's the thing
that they don't know. They just know they don't know
what we're offering that day, so they don't know if
we're gonna spend you know, fifty dollars on something or
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh my gosh, oh my word. Yeah, And you got
to be serious about it at that point because it's
you know, it's you know, and it's something that people
can you know, as a husband and wife, as a
father and son.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You know, something you can do together that's a shared
interest and you know, hey, I've got I got this bottle.
You know I've been looking for that. You know. It's
so it's a little competitive with friends and stuff. It's fun,
you share it, you have memories.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
All of it encompasses the tours, the bourbon sales and
all that. Is it bigger than horse racing now in
the CommonWell Oh, well, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Don't know it's as an industry.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I would think that's because horse racing went down, But
it's also a handful of days of the year, right, Yeah,
you got to take the aggregate number all all of
the days, you.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Know, we get one hundred and fifty thousand people come
through our doors in Bartstown. Wow. Now that is one
day of the Derby, right right, attendance, Yeah, and the
one a year.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But you know they're not selling you know, they're not
selling bottles or anything. Church allnoun's not selling everything in
California and we are, you know, so you know, if
he comes down to units and.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's like that, and this show is informative and we
found out this year's why did we not that? I
did not know that the bourbon companies pay taxes on
the bourbon that's in the barrels.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh yeah, thirteen dollars and twenty cents of proof calen. Wow,
Oh my god, I know it was over half the
bottle is taxes, don't I don't wow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Typical Kentucky though. Think about this. Our cash crop used
to be tobacco. Anytime we needed money, we would tax
the crap out of tobacco. We also know for bourbon,
and you just said fifty percent of it is a.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Tax more than fifty percent of those says, and we're
on the wrong side of that equation.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So it seems to be it seems to me, and
if I'm all and we gotta get to this song,
but it seems to me that if you're a boutique
bourbon you're trying to start out, you're one of the
twenty three hundred that got added, it's gotta be tough
on you because a bourbon has to be aged. You
all have the advantage because you have all of this
age burb and you can get a premium bourbon age
(06:44):
twelve to eighteen, you know. Yeah, and we're as opposed
to five for what thirty bucks?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Sure, but what there And if they're a small craft
distillert and we're a craft two, but we're just larger.
What you the smarter ones do is do things that
we can can't do because of our size, or we
choose not to because so they'll use like heirloom corns
and you know, smaller, smaller. You know, we were making
you know, fifteen hundred barrels a day. And as you're
(07:11):
making one a day, you can. It's what their creativity.
And we have laws we have to pass and do.
So I think the ones that are gonna are gonna
make it through to the other side are going to
be ones that have visitor centers, that have a you know,
bricks and mortar store that you can walk in and
learn and see how they do it and all that
kind of stuff. So, but if you are just you know,
(07:31):
jumping on to make money or because you're you want
to see your name on.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A label, may not go. You know, what I like
is that you all play well together. The Bourbons, the
original ones at least, right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We encourage everybody. We got Evan Williams bourbon experience here.
We say, oh you got to check a you know,
a bourbon pursuit. They opened up their right. That's what
we see green red we all because it doesn't work.
You can't be an island upon its own. You know,
two point seven million people didn't come here just see
one distillery and we can't take them all. So right,
to be an attraction, you have to have more, and
so we want everybody to be successful.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Did you just make that number up? Two point seven million?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, that's a loibal tourism number.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh my god, I had no idea think.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Seven visits and I don't think that's people.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Still, yeah, that's still okay, point two point seven million visits.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, Chris, well, okay, I want to get back into
hotel rooms.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You know, That's amen. Okay. Part of the reason I
love Christmas is we always could see Bernie Lovers come
in and you always treat us with a song instead
of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Yeah, you customize it
and you make it the twelve Days of Louisville Christmas,
and you change it every year. Yeah, you know most years, light.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Changes changes nonetheless, you know sometimes you know it's like God,
did anything happen this year?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Oh yeah, plenty?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean remember when the cows were in?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
You know, we just play, we just played. I just
played that version two days ago with the cow.
Speaker 3 (09:02):

Speaker 4 (19:06):

Speaker 3 (19:26):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's okay. Now, put one hand on your head and
the other one on the door.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Frank Well, if you put his hand on his head,
he would be touching some fantastic hare from We Grow
Hair Indie. Yeah. We we love this company. We've been
going up there for I don't know, six seven years now.
Dwight got it first. I think a lot of people
know the story. But if you don't Dwight went first,
and then I was I was one of those guys
(19:51):
that said, look, I'm losing my hair. It's my lot
in life. I'm just it is what it is. And
then I saw Dwight's results and I went, Nope, I'm
doing that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's amazing. And by the way, Darren, it's I think
it's been six years for me now and I mean
it's still full, it's still thick, it's my real hair,
and there's only two plays.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Become your signature.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It really has people see this mop on my head,
they know the mop on.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
His sand is the signature.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But Darren, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
For people that don't know, why is we grow hair Indy.
Why should I in Louisville or Lexington that's listening to
us right now, or Southern Indiana drive too. We grow
hair Indy, which we enjoyed actually because there's a little
time by ourselves. But why should they go up there
for that?
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah, that's a great question, guys, I think of ferfully,
it's experience. We've been doing this for over twenty years now.
Technology so one of only two places in the entire
country to offer two very specific types of hair transplants
that look natural. We stand behind the results office robot
Pick few We which is a robustic transplant robot guided
(20:56):
by the position, accuracy, reproducibility. And of course, all I've
had done and you guys have had done multi unit haircrafting,
and the benefit of the multi unit haircrafting is more
hair mure deane something, more coverage in a single procedure.
We provide all available options, not just those things.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, it's quite wonderful. If he just talked about artists
robotic fue and he talked about multi unit hair grafting.
Both was used on me. After I had this done
and I was open. I'm opening about everything in my
life on social media and on the show.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
A little too much.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That's okay, I'm a sharer. But anyway, I started to
see people that had this procedure done and hit it
from the public, and they were telling me that they
were going for multiple visits, sitting in the chair for
eight hours of a time, and by the way, they
were conscious the whole time I get there. There was
a shot I went into like a twilight and next
(21:49):
thing you know, I'll wake up and the procedure was done.
I was in the chair just for a few hours
and this artist, Robotic fue it recreated my natural swirl pattern.
This it looks like my real hair because it is
my real hair. It's amazing what this machine does.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, it's redistributing that genetically permanent hair from the back.
You know, it's interesting. I spoke to a guy yesterday,
actually Dwight, who mentioned the baloney patch, Yeah that you
used to have.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, and he has.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He has the same thing. And I think a lot
of people have the misconception which has held people back
in the past that it doesn't look natural. Of course
in the old days it didn't look natural. And whether
it's a whether it's a crown or a hairline, the
key is that someone looks at you and goes, I
don't know that guy's had anything done. So crowns, obviously
you're going to recreate that swell frontal hairlines. It's gonna
(22:38):
look age specific, right, so you age naturally with what
we're doing.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Uh So that's a great point of His was the
back of his head and mine was the front. So
people that look at either one of our pictures in
any of the posts that we make on Facebook, you
can see I had I had more of the front
done and he had the back done. So either area
or the both, it doesn't really kind of here's the
great thing about We Grow Hairy Indy. Other places, we're
(23:04):
gonna we're gonna start with this area and then you
go home and recover this, and then we're gonna come
back and we're gonna do this second area. This is
knocked out in one procedure and then there you go.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, and that's I think obviously important guys. I mean
less down time. Ultimately, it's a bit of value because
you're not going through multiple procedures. Most of our patients
get by with one procedure. There are some circumstances where
guys need more than one. And that's just where it's
really important to Taylor what we're doing based on the
amount of PAARA loss. You've got your donor area, so
that evaluation is super important and putting a long term
(23:39):
plan in place for success.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I want to talk about the integrity of We Grow
Hair Indy because listen, I absolutely adore all the staff
up there. I've become friends with them, and the people
that I've said to you are dear friends of mine.
The listeners of course as well, but even family members.
When I say family members, I mean young family members
in their mid twenty So if you're listening out there
(24:02):
for whatever reason, college kids, they're starting to lose their
hair too, so are women. By the way, women's hair thins,
So I don't want to say, hey, this is all
about guys men my age. It's not. Imagine being a
college age kid and you're going bald. That was a
family member of mine. You all stop that. I'm grateful
for that, but I also want to make awareness. Man,
(24:24):
this is also for people in their mid twenties or
early twenties, whatever it might be, and also women, because
women your hair thins as well. Every time I'm there,
I see beautiful women just sitting there waiting for their
appointment as well.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, I mean obviously as a guy and the three
of us can a taste to this or having hit
something done. It's hot enough for those of us that
have bothered by a hair loss, but female hair loss
and the expectation for ladies socialists so much great. So
it's a whole nother emotional you know, content around that.
And we have a female consultant here that specializes in
female hair loss. She's actually been through it herself. And
(24:58):
we have a lot of really great technology from a
preventative hair loss control early and early integration into getting
hair loss under control. And that's guys, that's probably one
of the biggest advances in the last few years is
our ability to get to hair loss earlier and get
it under control. College kids, early twenties not always right
(25:19):
for a transplant right away, but now we have tools
to say, look, we can get this under control. Let's
create a baseline, let's make sure this doesn't get any worse,
and give you options down the road. So that global approach,
so far as offering options for everybody, is super important.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And I was talking about the integrity that you and
the clinic have, and I want to touch on this
one more time because a lot of you know, listeners
do go up there, but a lot of friends, family members,
close friends ask about it and they go as well.
A very very dear, dear friend of mine. Uh, he
wasn't happy with his hair. He went, he got his
(25:54):
evaluation done, and you all did what I don't think
a lot of clinics would do. Darren, you said, I
don't think he'll be happy with our results. We don't
recommend the procedure for you. I think most people will
use Yeah, most clinics. We just take the money and run.
You all had the integrity to say listen, and he
was bagging you. We just don't think it'll be happy.
(26:14):
That's got to be difficult for one, but number two,
it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah, and I appreciate you saying that. We've talked about
this before and I know exactly what you talk about it.
It's always a tough discussion when someone has their heart
set on doing a hair transplant, but I think you
have to change the narrative around. Look, there are other
things we can do. And that's particular scenario. The amount
of donor area he had in the back and sides
to cover the goal he had on top of it
(26:40):
just wasn't there, and the expectation was pretty high and
medically we just couldn't meet that. So we change course,
talked about things we can do to control the hair loss.
And yeah, a tough discussion.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I will tell you this. I will tell you this.
I saw him just four weeks ago, and I know
you all have been doing other things out of PRP.
Whatever you are doing, but he is quite happy with
the results he's getting with that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, look, your hair frames your face. You look like
a completely different person if you lose all your hair.
The earlier you do it the better. If you're forty
five and going I'll do it in five years, do
it now. Do it now because the results will be
better than they are in five years. They're great, but
they'll be better than they are in five years. Do
it as early as you can and get the results
(27:26):
and start on your thing. Because here's the opportunity you
all gave us when you shaved our head to do
the procedure. You get an opportunity to see what you
would look like completely without the eddy hair. And let
me tell you, dude, it's It was a wake up
call for me. I was like, oh boy, I look
a pock look completely different and not as good without
(27:48):
the hair. So what's the best way to get a
hold of you, Darren and start this process? And you
could do the consultation online. Dwight and I both did that,
you know, I did mine in a bay spent on
the computer. So how do they get ahold of you
and get get an appointment as soon as possible?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, appreciate the words, Tony real quick. One of the
things now that's changed since you guys had it done
is we don't always have to shave the transplant area
now you've worked through the transplant here, which is really
nice because it limits downtime. So nice, nice little advancement
in technology. Nice website, Yeah, website. We grow here Indy
dot com three one two two two nine ninety five
(28:26):
as direct line number. We can do in person or
virtual evaluations. So I love to be able to help.
Of course, new Year coming up, so new year resolutions,
new hear new year common one. So love to help
out the listeners.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Hey, Darren, I asked you this last time I was
up there. Toty's hair looks great, but can you do
anything about his fat ugly face? Is there like a
procedure for that.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I've probably got a referral for him.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
We throw her handy bag.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Darren's always great to talk to you, Kiss the wife
and kids.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
We love you, we miss you, and we grow Harry Andy, great,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (29:01):

on NewsRadio eight forty whas
Like I said, I went to see Christmas Carol a
couple of weeks ago with my family and it put
me right into Christmas mood. And I've been listening to
iHeart Christmas Classics. It's got a blue Snowflake if you
find it online. It's the best one because it's got
all the Frank Sinacha stuff and all that.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
As we hear little Keith Richards on his eighty second
Happy Birthday, Keith rich.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
One of these Radio eight forty whas with Tony and
Dwight Chill brought you by the Kentucky Offensive Highway Safety.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
One of my favorite times of year is Christmas because
it means I get to go see all of my
in laws and hang out their house and listening to
their thrilling conversations.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Is that in Pine not Kentucky or Broken Stick in Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't it's I.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Think those are two actual towns.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah. But one of the things I really love is
seeing my dear friend Bernie Lovers.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Bernie, how you doing man, morning man? I guess Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I guess it's been almost thirty or has been over
thirty years. I've known you going back to the Rocky.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And Troy days feels like sixty.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Good look for him if it was like sixty. Right.
But here Don and Terry were the first two people
to introduce me on stage.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wow, wow, you are old.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, RETIREI didn't take We were talking.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
About it across my fingers when I said it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, but so you're still in the bourbon world, and
we wanted to get this song out of you. But
of course, but I want to talk about bourbon for
a second because I find it fascinating. And we were
talking about how it has grown. So is there a
decline in the bourbon market? And you mentioned it's a
correction that kind of needs to happen because we went
(01:37):
from fourteen distilleries to how many?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, so this is not long ago. So at two
thousand and five I started in the industry. There was
ten distilleries in Kentucky twenty years ago. Yeah, twenty one
years ago, owned by ten, six companies. So ten distilleries
by six companies are only six companies making bourbon back then.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Then outside of Kentucky there were four and three of
them weren't even bourbon.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That is insane.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So that was Jack Daniels, George Dikell MGP, which is
Ross and Squib now in Indiana. But they weren't even
making bourbon. But you got to count. I mean then
there was one in Virginia.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So just to be generous, we're gonna go ahead and
say fourteen America, he ask me, technically ten, but let's
go ahead and we'll give it the fourteen.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So fourteen, now is it to eleven? Downtown Louisville?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There's thirteen? Wow, that's part of the song.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Here's here, but here is the staggering here's the staggering
number on this though. So we went from basically twenty
twenty one years ago. We went from and this is
a generous number, fourteen to how many now?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So just in Kentucky we have over one hundred oh Mitlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What about nationwide?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Twenty two hundred plus?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Oh my gosh. So it's grown from fourteen to twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yeah, see what I did?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yees Bie, Yes, Bernie the Kentucky's burbn Bashard gets out
there and.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, wasn't there a gentleman's agreement? Or because we were
in advertising radio at the time, I thought there was
like a gentleman's agreement because we didn't have any commercials
that had bourbon on it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, it was a straight up it was a radio
gentleman's agreement. We will not accept alcohol, meaning real we
would take beer beer, yeah, but as far as great alcohol,
we wouldn't take it because we didn't want to open
up the door to you know.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And I remember that the radio went, well, forget that rule,
let's go get it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I was the first sales guy to bring alcohol on
the air, and it was tough.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So it's your fault just because you showed up drunk that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
One time.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
At one time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, but it's an interesting industry. I'm always make a joke.
Everyone I know either has a podcast or their own bourbon. Yeah,
it's every It seems like every week somebody former U
L basketball player or a guy whoever starts their own bourb.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So it's gonna look like it. You know, the industry
is in trouble. We can all look at our windows
and see the bourbon tourism is very strong.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
And you know there's people still lined up at heaven
Hill Distillery and Mixer's downtown here seeing what they're you know,
in the freezing cold sometimes like what are they gonna
and the interesting thing is like at Heaven Hill, we
don't even say what we're having for sale that day, right,
So our owner Max coming down and says, what's there's
three hundred two hundred people in line. It's not an
exaggeration ww And he goes, well, what what are they
(04:28):
going to buy? And they go, well, here's the thing
that they don't know. They just know they don't know
what we're offering that day, so they don't know if
we're gonna spend you know, fifty dollars on something or
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh my gosh, oh my word. Yeah, And you got
to be serious about it at that point because it's
you know, it's you know, and it's something that people
can you know, as a husband and wife, as a
father and son.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You know, something you can do together that's a shared
interest and you know, hey, I've got I got this bottle.
You know I've been looking for that. You know. It's
so it's a little competitive with friends and stuff. It's fun,
you share it, you have memories.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
All of it encompasses the tours, the bourbon sales and
all that. Is it bigger than horse racing now in
the CommonWell Oh, well, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Don't know it's as an industry.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I would think that's because horse racing went down, But
it's also a handful of days of the year, right, Yeah,
you got to take the aggregate number all all of
the days, you.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Know, we get one hundred and fifty thousand people come
through our doors in Bartstown. Wow. Now that is one
day of the Derby, right right, attendance, Yeah, and the
one a year.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But you know they're not selling you know, they're not
selling bottles or anything. Church allnoun's not selling everything in
California and we are, you know, so you know, if
he comes down to units and.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's like that, and this show is informative and we
found out this year's why did we not that? I
did not know that the bourbon companies pay taxes on
the bourbon that's in the barrels.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh yeah, thirteen dollars and twenty cents of proof calen. Wow,
Oh my god, I know it was over half the
bottle is taxes, don't I don't wow.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Typical Kentucky though. Think about this. Our cash crop used
to be tobacco. Anytime we needed money, we would tax
the crap out of tobacco. We also know for bourbon,
and you just said fifty percent of it is a.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Tax more than fifty percent of those says, and we're
on the wrong side of that equation.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So it seems to be it seems to me, and
if I'm all and we gotta get to this song,
but it seems to me that if you're a boutique
bourbon you're trying to start out, you're one of the
twenty three hundred that got added, it's gotta be tough
on you because a bourbon has to be aged. You
all have the advantage because you have all of this
age burb and you can get a premium bourbon age
(06:44):
twelve to eighteen, you know. Yeah, and we're as opposed
to five for what thirty bucks?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Sure, but what there And if they're a small craft
distillert and we're a craft two, but we're just larger.
What you the smarter ones do is do things that
we can can't do because of our size, or we
choose not to because so they'll use like heirloom corns
and you know, smaller, smaller. You know, we were making
you know, fifteen hundred barrels a day. And as you're
(07:11):
making one a day, you can. It's what their creativity.
And we have laws we have to pass and do.
So I think the ones that are gonna are gonna
make it through to the other side are going to
be ones that have visitor centers, that have a you know,
bricks and mortar store that you can walk in and
learn and see how they do it and all that
kind of stuff. So, but if you are just you know,
(07:31):
jumping on to make money or because you're you want
to see your name on.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A label, may not go. You know, what I like
is that you all play well together. The Bourbons, the
original ones at least, right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
We encourage everybody. We got Evan Williams bourbon experience here.
We say, oh you got to check a you know,
a bourbon pursuit. They opened up their right. That's what
we see green red we all because it doesn't work.
You can't be an island upon its own. You know,
two point seven million people didn't come here just see
one distillery and we can't take them all. So right,
to be an attraction, you have to have more, and
so we want everybody to be successful.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Did you just make that number up? Two point seven million?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, that's a loibal tourism number.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh my god, I had no idea think.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Seven visits and I don't think that's people.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Still, yeah, that's still okay, point two point seven million visits.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, Chris, well, okay, I want to get back into
hotel rooms.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You know, That's amen. Okay. Part of the reason I
love Christmas is we always could see Bernie Lovers come
in and you always treat us with a song instead
of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Yeah, you customize it
and you make it the twelve Days of Louisville Christmas,
and you change it every year. Yeah, you know most years, light.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Changes changes nonetheless, you know sometimes you know it's like God,
did anything happen this year?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Oh yeah, plenty?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean remember when the cows were in?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
You know, we just play, we just played. I just
played that version two days ago with the cow.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
He's so funny.

we bring the rich stories of bourbon alive, which there's
many which have done. We pair that with how bourbon
became bourbon from unaged corner whiskey to the bourbon we
know today. And to make it even more special, what
pairs better with Kentucky bourbon than Kentucky music, so we

At one point?
Speaker 4 (19:03):
They went pretty extreme? Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
We were trying to actually get back to the time.
My dad had cancer at the time.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And remember that. I remember that. Yeah, get to a
spot because you're breaking up a little bit, so try
to get to a better spot. Right there, I want
you to get. Yeah, we need the best errand there is.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's okay. Now, put one hand on your head and
the other one on the door.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Frank Well, if you put his hand on his head,
he would be touching some fantastic hare from We Grow
Hair Indie. Yeah. We we love this company. We've been
going up there for I don't know, six seven years now.
Dwight got it first. I think a lot of people
know the story. But if you don't Dwight went first,
and then I was I was one of those guys
(19:51):
that said, look, I'm losing my hair. It's my lot
in life. I'm just it is what it is. And
then I saw Dwight's results and I went, Nope, I'm
doing that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's amazing. And by the way, Darren, it's I think
it's been six years for me now and I mean
it's still full, it's still thick, it's my real hair,
and there's only two plays.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Become your signature.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It really has people see this mop on my head,
they know the mop on.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
His sand is the signature.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But Darren, yep.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
For people that don't know, why is we grow hair Indy.
Why should I in Louisville or Lexington that's listening to
us right now, or Southern Indiana drive too. We grow
hair Indy, which we enjoyed actually because there's a little
time by ourselves. But why should they go up there
for that?
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah, that's a great question, guys, I think of ferfully,
it's experience. We've been doing this for over twenty years now.
Technology so one of only two places in the entire
country to offer two very specific types of hair transplants
that look natural. We stand behind the results office robot
Pick few We which is a robustic transplant robot guided
(20:56):
by the position, accuracy, reproducibility. And of course, all I've
had done and you guys have had done multi unit haircrafting,
and the benefit of the multi unit haircrafting is more
hair mure deane something, more coverage in a single procedure.
We provide all available options, not just those things.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, it's quite wonderful. If he just talked about artists
robotic fue and he talked about multi unit hair grafting.
Both was used on me. After I had this done
and I was open. I'm opening about everything in my
life on social media and on the show.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
A little too much.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That's okay, I'm a sharer. But anyway, I started to
see people that had this procedure done and hit it
from the public, and they were telling me that they
were going for multiple visits, sitting in the chair for
eight hours of a time, and by the way, they
were conscious the whole time I get there. There was
a shot I went into like a twilight and next
(21:49):
thing you know, I'll wake up and the procedure was done.
I was in the chair just for a few hours
and this artist, Robotic fue it recreated my natural swirl pattern.
This it looks like my real hair because it is
my real hair. It's amazing what this machine does.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, it's redistributing that genetically permanent hair from the back.
You know, it's interesting. I spoke to a guy yesterday,
actually Dwight, who mentioned the baloney patch, Yeah that you
used to have.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, and he has.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
He has the same thing. And I think a lot
of people have the misconception which has held people back
in the past that it doesn't look natural. Of course
in the old days it didn't look natural. And whether
it's a whether it's a crown or a hairline, the
key is that someone looks at you and goes, I
don't know that guy's had anything done. So crowns, obviously
you're going to recreate that swell frontal hairlines. It's gonna
(22:38):
look age specific, right, so you age naturally with what
we're doing.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Uh So that's a great point of His was the
back of his head and mine was the front. So
people that look at either one of our pictures in
any of the posts that we make on Facebook, you
can see I had I had more of the front
done and he had the back done. So either area
or the both, it doesn't really kind of here's the
great thing about We Grow Hairy Indy. Other places, we're
(23:04):
gonna we're gonna start with this area and then you
go home and recover this, and then we're gonna come
back and we're gonna do this second area. This is
knocked out in one procedure and then there you go.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, and that's I think obviously important guys. I mean
less down time. Ultimately, it's a bit of value because
you're not going through multiple procedures. Most of our patients
get by with one procedure. There are some circumstances where
guys need more than one. And that's just where it's
really important to Taylor what we're doing based on the
amount of PAARA loss. You've got your donor area, so
that evaluation is super important and putting a long term
(23:39):
plan in place for success.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I want to talk about the integrity of We Grow
Hair Indy because listen, I absolutely adore all the staff
up there. I've become friends with them, and the people
that I've said to you are dear friends of mine.
The listeners of course as well, but even family members.
When I say family members, I mean young family members
in their mid twenty So if you're listening out there
(24:02):
for whatever reason, college kids, they're starting to lose their
hair too, so are women. By the way, women's hair thins,
So I don't want to say, hey, this is all
about guys men my age. It's not. Imagine being a
college age kid and you're going bald. That was a
family member of mine. You all stop that. I'm grateful
for that, but I also want to make awareness. Man,
(24:24):
this is also for people in their mid twenties or
early twenties, whatever it might be, and also women, because
women your hair thins as well. Every time I'm there,
I see beautiful women just sitting there waiting for their
appointment as well.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, I mean obviously as a guy and the three
of us can a taste to this or having hit
something done. It's hot enough for those of us that
have bothered by a hair loss, but female hair loss
and the expectation for ladies socialists so much great. So
it's a whole nother emotional you know, content around that.
And we have a female consultant here that specializes in
female hair loss. She's actually been through it herself. And
(24:58):
we have a lot of really great technology from a
preventative hair loss control early and early integration into getting
hair loss under control. And that's guys, that's probably one
of the biggest advances in the last few years is
our ability to get to hair loss earlier and get
it under control. College kids, early twenties not always right
(25:19):
for a transplant right away, but now we have tools
to say, look, we can get this under control. Let's
create a baseline, let's make sure this doesn't get any worse,
and give you options down the road. So that global approach,
so far as offering options for everybody, is super important.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
And I was talking about the integrity that you and
the clinic have, and I want to touch on this
one more time because a lot of you know, listeners
do go up there, but a lot of friends, family members,
close friends ask about it and they go as well.
A very very dear, dear friend of mine. Uh, he
wasn't happy with his hair. He went, he got his
(25:54):
evaluation done, and you all did what I don't think
a lot of clinics would do. Darren, you said, I
don't think he'll be happy with our results. We don't
recommend the procedure for you. I think most people will
use Yeah, most clinics. We just take the money and run.
You all had the integrity to say listen, and he
was bagging you. We just don't think it'll be happy.
(26:14):
That's got to be difficult for one, but number two,
it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah, and I appreciate you saying that. We've talked about
this before and I know exactly what you talk about it.
It's always a tough discussion when someone has their heart
set on doing a hair transplant, but I think you
have to change the narrative around. Look, there are other
things we can do. And that's particular scenario. The amount
of donor area he had in the back and sides
to cover the goal he had on top of it
(26:40):
just wasn't there, and the expectation was pretty high and
medically we just couldn't meet that. So we change course,
talked about things we can do to control the hair loss.
And yeah, a tough discussion.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I will tell you this. I will tell you this.
I saw him just four weeks ago, and I know
you all have been doing other things out of PRP.
Whatever you are doing, but he is quite happy with
the results he's getting with that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, look, your hair frames your face. You look like
a completely different person if you lose all your hair.
The earlier you do it the better. If you're forty
five and going I'll do it in five years, do
it now. Do it now because the results will be
better than they are in five years. They're great, but
they'll be better than they are in five years. Do
it as early as you can and get the results
(27:26):
and start on your thing. Because here's the opportunity you
all gave us when you shaved our head to do
the procedure. You get an opportunity to see what you
would look like completely without the eddy hair. And let
me tell you, dude, it's It was a wake up
call for me. I was like, oh boy, I look
a pock look completely different and not as good without
(27:48):
the hair. So what's the best way to get a
hold of you, Darren and start this process? And you
could do the consultation online. Dwight and I both did that,
you know, I did mine in a bay spent on
the computer. So how do they get ahold of you
and get get an appointment as soon as possible?
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, appreciate the words, Tony real quick. One of the
things now that's changed since you guys had it done
is we don't always have to shave the transplant area
now you've worked through the transplant here, which is really
nice because it limits downtime. So nice, nice little advancement
in technology. Nice website, Yeah, website. We grow here Indy
dot com three one two two two nine ninety five
(28:26):
as direct line number. We can do in person or
virtual evaluations. So I love to be able to help.
Of course, new Year coming up, so new year resolutions,
new hear new year common one. So love to help
out the listeners.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Hey, Darren, I asked you this last time I was
up there. Toty's hair looks great, but can you do
anything about his fat ugly face? Is there like a
procedure for that.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I've probably got a referral for him.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
We throw her handy bag.

and kids.

Indy is awesome. Everyone there is.

welcome in, come on in here, I got you some
coffee and water. We're gonna get you back in two seconds.
