Are you a BDM member?

Yep.

If you're not, you can sign up at tom and dan.com. It's very easy to do. There's a love meter. You could pick your price, your monthly price. And once you're a BDM member, you could grant access to our BDM-only Facebook page. So if you want to interact in there, it's a curated community of our listeners.

It's kind of like a, I don't know, it's kind of like a private Craigslist if you think about it. These people are like buddies and friends and they're friends of ours.

Networking.

I know a ton of BDMs.

They always put posts up if their kid is like, please vote for my kid. It's a way to win a lot of kid drawing contests. That's not a bad idea. We should start advertising this. Like, hey, if you got kids and you want your kids to win all these stupid contests in school, become a BDM. Get in the groove. Oh, I do too. Like whether your daughter's a snowboarder, I remember that one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then like a photo contest, a painting contest. We also do BDM appreciation every April. We're in the midst of planning it again this year. It's a $5 BDM T-shirt, the Danger Brain design. and then with that in the package comes a lot of free stuff that our sponsors put in there as well.

We do a party at the end of the week. We're planning that. You'll get an invite to the party. You and a guest. More than anything, you guys are really just on the forefront. Like when we try to change things, which, you know, like remember the old ACT rebrand, we talked to BDMs first. maybe we're not going to do that now because we're talking to the BDMs. Like you guys are kind of part of the, like, living community of this show. And really, the BDMs have never been more important than they ever have been because the human experience has never been more important than it's ever been. So, like, I kind of feel like, I love being in the community and

talking to those people, and I think you will too if you're, if you're not currently a BDM. You know, 100%. And me and Daniel don't have any technical bosses, but we look at BDMs like they are our bosses. Like, what do you want? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we are here to serve you. You are the lifeblood of Tom and Dan and

T&D Media and we have been doing

this independent for, God. 16 years?

Yeah, I mean, well, I guess when did 2012? 13 is when we stopped working for corporate.

Yeah, but we started the show in 09.

Yeah, 09 is when we started the podcast, but it's been 12, 13 years we've been doing this on our own.

And it's really because of the BDM's. And we're very lucky and we enjoy it. Like, we enjoy being with you guys. So if you're not a B&M and you're listening to this and you enjoy these, you know, ACT Best of segments,

but you can sign up and give it a shot and try it.

And hopefully we'll see it in an event
