We've all been there. You pop into the shop for five minutes, and all of a sudden, you've forgotten where you parked.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:06)
Car?

**Jed Meshew** (0:07)
Car?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:08)
Unfortunately, that lost feeling is what it's like trying to manage your policy with other insurers.

**Jed Meshew** (0:13)
Here car, come out, come out, wherever you are. Please?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:17)

Did this parking lot have a waterfall?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:24)
I think you've wandered too far, mate. It feels good to find what you're looking for.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:29)

Live from MMA Fighting Studios, this is Between the Links. And now, your host, Mike Heck.

**Mike Heck** (1:34)
The iconic voice of Esther Lin welcomes you to a brand new edition of BTL. Happy Thursday to us all. Hope you're all having a great week.
We're coming off of a return to the world's most famous Apex just six days after UFC White House. But Saturday, it's UFC Baku, it's PFL Santiago. There's lots going on in the combat sports world. Some good, some bad, some right down the middle.
And that's why we're here to talk about all that stuff with all of you guys and joining me to discuss all of these things, all of these different topics that we can discuss and much more. The one and only Mr. Doe Grey Area, the hot take kid himself from mafighting.com, Jed Meshew. Jed, how are you? How was Supergirl?

**Jed Meshew** (2:22)
Very mid. It's not like an awful movie.
I see a lot of movies at this point. I think everybody knows that. There was an early release at my theater right next to me. So it's like, yeah, I'll go see it.
It was much better than Disclosure Day, which is a pile of dog water. But yeah, it could have been better. I think Lily Alcock, I think that's her name, is actually a pretty good super girl. But she did not have a ton to work with from a story standpoint. So I've seen worse movies. And it's short, too. Like that was the other thing. It's not like bad and two and a half hours. It was bad in like an hour and 45 minutes or whatever. So I'll tolerate. Again, it wasn't bad, but it just wasn't good. But at least it didn't take that much of my time.

**Mike Heck** (3:14)
Yes.

**Jed Meshew** (3:15)
Like Disclosure Day was rancid and it was over two hours.

**Mike Heck** (3:19)
Yeah. It's like watching. Yeah. It's like watching an Apex card that ends in three hours. Like that'd be incredible. Like, it doesn't matter how good or bad the card was. If it ended in three hours, you'd be like, oh, this is sick. It's awesome. Automatically bumps it up an entire letter grade.

**Jed Meshew** (3:35)
Exactly. It's honestly exactly like, okay, well, I didn't, you know, I go to late showings because I work until the evening.
And so like I'll go to a nine or 10 p.m. showing. And then you add 30 minutes of previews before that. It's like the thing drags. I can be out there until two and then I don't want that. So, yeah, you know, it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

**Mike Heck** (3:58)
Nobody wants that.

**Jed Meshew** (3:59)
So I think they fundamentally misunderstood the assignment, which was like the big problem.
Spoiler alert, not really giving away too much here. She is nerfed, like the whole movie. And that's just like, you don't go to a superhero movie to watch them not be super, you know, like I would like you to let Supergirl just bomb on people. That's pretty cool. And when I did do that, I was like, oh yeah, I'm having fun now. But like there's just a lot of the movie where she's intentionally nerfed. And it's just like, okay, what are we doing?

**Mike Heck** (4:35)
That doesn't sound like a lot of fun. So I should probably skip this one.
