| 0:00.0 | Hello, wait for it listeners. I hope you're enjoying the show. And I want to invite you to check out another |
| 0:06.3 | Owets Big Round Studio show called Leaving the Theater. Leaving the Theater is a television and film review |
| 0:12.3 | podcast that started with me reviewing movies as I walked out of the theater immediately after seeing them. |
| 0:18.2 | It's now expanded to include me reviewing television and streaming titles on |
| 0:21.7 | my couch as well. These are the freshest take on what we just watched, and it's a lot of fun. On each |
| 0:28.0 | episode, I talk with my movie-loving friends or colleagues from other podcasts, and we rate whatever we |
| 0:33.2 | watched from one to five stars. If you're an overththinker like me, you'll enjoy agreeing and disagreeing |
| 0:39.0 | with my analysis. Again, that's leaving the theater available everywhere you listen to podcasts. |
| 0:46.6 | Wait for it. Hello, Wait for It listeners. It's me, Ronald Jen Jr. We are currently hard at |
| 0:53.1 | work planning the next season of Wait for it, which will come out in the fall. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a bonus mini episode with you.

| 1:13.8 | Well, I sleep on a Big Fig and I love the mattress, but I wanted to know more about the |
| 1:19.2 | company. |
| 1:20.0 | Hey, Ronald. |
| 1:20.6 | My name is Jeff Brown. |
| 1:22.0 | I am the president of Big Fig mattress. |
| 1:24.6 | Big Fig is a direct-to-consumer online brand. Jeff told me about the founder and |
| 1:29.7 | CEO of Big Fig, a man named Bruce Goodman. He's fourth generation. His family's been in Cleveland |
| 1:35.3 | in the furniture and mattress business for over 100 years. His mattress company is called |
| 1:40.1 | White Dove Mattress, and they sold their mattress in retail stores like most other |
| 1:44.7 | mattress companies. |
| 1:46.7 | Bruce spent a lot of time at retail, walk in retail, and one common theme that kept coming |
| 1:51.6 | out from retailers is how much they love to see plus-size people walk through the door. |
