GUADALAJARA JALISCO
"Hola, I'm your host, "The Galvatron" Alejandro Luis Galvan, and I'd like to welcome everybody in to the TAP-OUT-IO podcast where we discuss and cover all things wrestling, more specifically, Lucha Libre! Thank you for joining us! As always, we aim to satisfy your insatiable hunger for pro wrestling by keeping you up-to-date with all the current news and announcements. I'd like to take a minute to thank our AMAZING audience for their continued support and generosity-- with your help, we've managed to lock down funding for another season. Not only that, due to the overwhelming enthusiasm for the program, we've reached another one of our stretch goals: SPECIAL GUESTS!! Without further ado, it's a thrill to introduce our first ever guests to the show, Guerreros of Lucha's own, The Outliers!"
GALVATRON: How we feelin' this morning, guys? I know your flight got in last night and I also know you don't do many interviews, so we appreciate you taking the time out..
HWC: [wiping the sleep from his eyes and adjusting his headset] All good. Guadala-how-y'all-doin?
GRIN: [admiring the abundance of wrestling posters tacked to the walls] Yeah, thanks, man. We love being in Mexico.. This is our first trip to Guadalajara and we're stoked to see what this place is all about.
GALVATRON: Oh yeah, there's plenty to see! It's as wild as it is gorgeous, let me tell you! Our podcast name is derived from the word Tapatio which is like a catch all term for the people of Guadalajara that describes, not only our love, but deep sense of pride for our city and our culture. And that includes everything from the architecture to the art of partying! After all, this is the birthplace of tequila! All things I know you appreciate. By the way, good skate spots, Corrupts.. and some killer street food..
GRIN: Looks like this trip is gonna be more dangerous than we had originally anticipated.
[Sawtooth raises an eyebrow and nudges his partner.]
HWC: Nonstop express ride to trouble.. trouble that is deep, wide and deadly.
GALVATRON: I have no doubt. Well, a lot has changed since we met in Mexico City at Dia De Los Muertos.. The most obvious change being your newly acquired Trios Championships. Let me extend a big congrats on your win against the formidable Everyday Heroes! Even looks like you brought in that new hardware for us!!
[The scrawny host jumps from his seat and leans over the table, inspecting the belts. He repeatedly snaps his fingers and motions to the makeshift booth.]
GALVATRON: Can we get a closer lookat those beauties?!
OUTLIERS: EXTREME CLOSE-UP! WHOAAAAAA!
[As the camera zooms in Grin squeezes into the shot and throws up the bird while Corrupts crouches and licks the title's faceplate.]
HWC: Did that like.. does that bum your shit out? Not good?
GALVATRON: No worries guys, this is the internet, so let loose.
HWC: Ahh, The Outliers uncensored. Be careful what you wish for!
GALVATRON: See, I knew after I met you guys that I had to get you in here! And would you look at those?! For our listeners, all I can say is, these titles are more impressive than you could imagine! We don't have a lot of time with you though, so let's dive right in! Now, the two of you prefer to stay busy, and last month around this time The Outliers represented GOL in Union Battleground's first pay-per-view, Battle of Los Angeles. A card that saw you in an exhibition match against Alpha Wrestling Empire's tag team champs, Ketsuekigata Z. The entire event was fantastic! But this match up in particular was a real treat!
GRIN: We didn't get much backing from GOL brass on the whole deal, so we don't really give a fuck about all that. We represent ourselves. You're right though - the show was sick.. and being able to share the ring with Kimitsu and Aoki was truly an honor. There's not a team on the circuit today that we respect more. Real fucking talk.
HWC: [yawns and stretches, interlocking his fingers behind his head] There's undeniable chemistry between our teams.. and from strictly a fans perspective? KGZ are probably our favorites to watch.
GALVATRON: And there's an undeniable chemistry between the two of you gentlemen, as well. If you're unfamiliar with today's guests, we actually have a small clip from UB's L!GHTS OUT #4 I'd like to pull up..
____________
Sawtooth Grin: Folks, it's prolly time for a little PSA.
HWC: [Chiming in almost immediately...] The Outliers are a powerful combo whose synergy affects the chemicals in the brain which may give you the feeling of immortality.
Sawtooth Grin: You should not watch The Outliers if you are allergic to adrenaline, endorphins, blood, violence or freedom.
HWC: Side effects include shortness of breath, increased blood flow to the genitals, euphoria, and sudden, unexpected loss of bowels.
Sawtooth Grin: Do not use if you are pregnant or do not want to get pregnant. The Outliers are not responsible for any decisions made under their influence.
HWC: Please consult a physician, psychiatrist and the holy trinity before using The Outliers.
The Outliers: Consider yourself warned.
____________
[Galvan laughs obnoxiously as he closes out the browser and turns back to the table.]
GALVATRON: I got a real kick out of that, and to me, I thought it exemplified your more strange and disturbing qualities!
HWC: [shrugs] We'll take it.
GALVATRON: Now I know you guys walked out with the victory, so on that level, you're probably pleased as Punch, pun-ch intended--
HWC: Punch? You takin' shots now?! You wanna swing on me? Cut me bro! 'Cause I'll stab a dude with raditude! JK, JK. You know I love you, angel face. Y'know there should be a map just to get out of your eyes.. so dreamy..
GALVATRON: --but what did you think of your overall experience in Union Battleground. I heard it was your first appearance on national TV, how do you think it went? Corrupts, I'll shoot this one at you.
HWC: We LOVE to play. Period. [Shaking his head with a sense of satisfaction.] We just went in and we did our job and did what we had to do, and I think we did everything we came to do, and we did it and it's done!
GALVATRON: [Laughing...] Awesome. I guess that's that. I just wanted to quickly backtrack again to L!GHTS OUT.. that event was held outdoors is that right? Which I'm a huge fan of.. I really enjoy that.. it just seems to add an extra layer of excitement to the whole atmosphere. Was that about the hottest show you've ever been apart of?
HWC: Temperature-wise, sure. It was about the hottest thing I'd ever done, uhh, next to stealing Kimitsu Zombie's under-things.. other than that, yeah it was hot, Ali G, it was really hot, hotter than hell outside.
GALVATRON: And decked out in your custom "Terror Shark" costumes, I can imagine. How do you prepare for that? The unpredictability of the elements.
HWC: How did I prepare for that? Uhh, extreme mental discipline, six days a week of weight training.. uh, climbing the rope, doing the bar dips and uhh.. a real belief in the total apocalypse. I was hoping to see maybe some people passing out, or some power vomiting or something, but all I saw was a lot of people hoppin' and boppin', rockin' and poppin', y'know...
GALVATRON: Yeah for sure, I had a blast just watching it and the crowd seemed to be really into it; you guys always seem to turn the place inside out and upside down, so.. yeah mission accomplished I'd say.
GALVATRON: Speaking again on your crazy-busy month--Grin, you fought again for Caged Glory FC. I hesitate to say you're merely 'moonlighting' as an MMA fighter since it's a full time commitment, and due to the fact that you've become pretty damn successful in your own right. Puta madre, talk about spinnin' a lot of plates.. how does that work?
GRIN: Yeah, plenty of irons in the fire. It seems to help if you can get over your basic biological need to sleep.. you don't really mind an exhaustive training regimen or being on the road twenty-five eight. Indie life, right.. not much different from anyone else. Besides, like I said before, I'd rather hustle twenty-four seven than slave away at a nine to five.
GALVATRON: But back up for just a sec, not much different from anyone else? I'm not sure I necessarily agree. I honestly can't name too many other athletes who've achieved what you have in two different professions, let alone simultaneously. That's amazing to me.
GRIN: [Cocks his head slightly] Aww, that's so sweet of you to say, Ali.
HWC: [Lets out a chuckle] I wanna be like Sawtooth when I grow up.. The upside is we can use all your extra cash to upgrade our wardrobes Wesley Snipes-style. Livin' that Snipes life!
GRIN: [Glances at his partner and rolls his eyes] But we do have our limitations.. I just fought in the cage two days ago so since we've been burning the candle at both ends and in the middle, we opted out of the Azteca Rumble.. just wasn't a good fit.
GALVATRON: I'd say that's a pretty sound strategy. I also have a strong feeling your opponents are gonna wish they hadn't entered the Rumble either.
GRIN: Especially after we get done with them.
GALVATRON: I believe you, I've seen enough of your matches to know.. [pulling over his laptop] And it's not over for you yet! You're scheduled to take part in something I'm extremely excited about, the MASSIVE show this weekend, GOL's El Gran Anniversario! A celebration of one year in the business! And they have thrived.. Just like you boys.
GRIN: Yes sir.. It's kind of a special thing for us. We've been there almost since jump, and we'd definitely consider ourselves some of the more top shelf, homegrown talent they have to offer over there.
HWC: Since WARPED folded, we've been with GOL, and GOL only.
GALVATRON: Yeah, that's right.. and you have a new teammate this time around in the returning Jack Levy. Is he the newest member of The Outliers? And how did that come about?
HWC: The Crimson King? Not exactly. The partnership between Sawtooth Grin and myself is The Outliers.. It's kinda like The Mars Volta, the core is Omar and Cedric and their compositions are then performed by The Mars Volta group.
GRIN: I've known Jack since last year where he and I competed in the God of War ladder match for Pandora's Box. We all know how that scrap ended but I definitely saw an insane amount of talent and potential in the kid.
HWC: We also squared up at Taco Tuesday.. So, I guess you could say love bloomed on the battlefield. Plus, we're both Chicagoans. He's up north a ways, but we run into each other from time to time.
GRIN: Now we're one multi-headed beast that shares three brains.. our thoughts are in lockstep as much as our feet. We move like a school of fish, one point departure - the other destination.
GALVATRON: And what's the story with Matt Acid?
GRIN: Contrary to popular belief, we never tuned him up. He'll always be a good friend of ours, but some shit started poppin' off in his personal life, and he had to do what's best for him. So, definitely no bad blood. As a matter a fact, he contacted me the other day about the KCW Cannabis Cup, an event we'll all be attending. Be able to catch up with him then.
GALVATRON: I'm sure we're all glad to hear that! And your opponents, for your first defense, will be against The American Ultras.. A team that we know is lead by former Rey De Reyes challenger, Sam Washington. Now, we know Washington has been there since the beginning, and Corrupts you worked alongside him for the Christmas brawl... But, his team? I only started hearing about them probably a couple months ago. What's the deal?
GRIN: Uh-huh, and the only reason anyone's ever heard about'em is cause they attacked us.
GALVATRON: Not really a fan of Sam Washington and I'm sure you can understand why, but I definitely got a good laugh when I heard he was tazed trying to construct a wall.
HWC: We get it. That guy is like.. if Dave and Buster's was a person. He's basically a real life Duke Nukem but instead of alien invasions, he's more concerned with alien immigration. We might even go so far as to say he's just a little misunderstood. Funny thing is, the world he's created in his head is just an extreme reflection of the only reality he's ever known. Sad thing is, sure it's been distorted but it actually winds up looking a lot like our own. What that means is racism, fascism, violence, CORRUPTION, the works. But as you'd expect with a cartoon--everything is exaggerated and there's some consolation in that, when you take any of those crazy, terrible things like racism and blow it out of proportion it starts to look ridiculous, when you satirize those things they begin to lose some of their power. It's a messy, crude world and sometimes the best way to show that is to be just as messy and just as crude.
GRIN: In essence, he's just holding up a funhouse mirror to our absurd reality.
GALVATRON: Don't you think you're giving him a little bit too much credit?!
HWC: Oh, without a doubt. But in my experience, the single strongest proponent of civil rights--of allowing a country that preaches equality but routinely falls short of practicing it to have a common language by which to mitigate centuries of deplorable atrocities and improve upon the model--is our ability to show empathy for one another.
GRIN: In America's increasingly polarized state, it won't be a president who keeps things from exploding, it will be those who will never fall for homophobia, racism or other quagmires of ignorance. It will be because of what they heard and saw, the monumental beauty of humanity. Which you'd think would be enough to keep us from destroying ourselves. Besides, do you honestly believe anyone could ACTUALLY be that much of a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, misanthropic bigot?
HWC: Why not the one-man stupidity dispenser himself, The President of the United States.
GRIN: Ah yes, The Merchant of Venom.. Mr. Warmth.. touche.
GALVATRON: He looks like a thumb, which is probably why he's so far up Trump's ass. Anyways, let's shift gears from the War Machine to a question from Twitter. This one's from @maddog357 who asks,
'You have a tattoo that says SEARCH & DESTROY. Is that the way you have to live to be able to where it?'
GRIN: MADdog357, that sounds like the name of a hot sauce..
HWC: Oh yeah, I'm a bit of a human etch-a-sketch. Uh, I'm not really sure what you wanna know about it so I'll just give you the gist. Search and destroy was a term used in the Vietnam War.
GALVATRON: Oh, okay..
HWC: A 'Search and Destroy' mission was to go along a designated path.. go to any village you would find eliminate or remove the kids and old people.. flush them from the village and burn it to the ground.The concept of S & D, for me, is just my attitude towards life: which is to explore everything thoroughly.. each emotion, each strength, each weakness.. deconstruct things and find out where the truth lies. So many great and terrible things are borne out of strength and weakness or someone following orders. Anyways, at the end of the mission, hopefully you're spent. That's the gist. Like pulling yourself towards death by living life so fully..
GALVATRON: Very interesting subversion, hewhocorrupts. You've really kinda just co-opted it and given it all new meaning, I like that.. Okay how 'bout another question from the audience. Another one for Corrupts actually. This one's from Flat-top Tony on Facebook. He says,
'Everyone's familiar with strong style, but you have a very distinctive approach that's uniquely you. What would you call your wrestling style?'
GALVATRON: Thanks for that great question, Flat-top Tony. I couldn't agree more. You're clearly on a wavelength all your own, being such strange and savage creatures of the ether.. In my opinion, I've always considered you wrestling's Iggy Pop: harnessing some sort of energy that's beyond explanation. You make people uncomfortable, but at the same time enchanted. You make people question themselves on all levels. A raw element.
HWC: WOW, I'll take it. Again, I'm not sure if I can really answer this question.. in a sense because it's like being a leopard. They don't know they have spots, y'know. They don't know they're graceful, sleek and stealthy predators.. they're just too busy being leopards. Much like myself, I don't necessarily know I'm a pure maniac because I'm just too busy doing it.
GRIN: Oh come on man, don't be dense.. not with me or The Galvatron. You know what the fuck he's talking about: your own awkward, unorthodox and improvisational blend of brutality.. I've always referred to it as strange style. Strange-Fu.
HWC: Yeah.. No holds bizarred..
GALVATRON: Grin, let me ask you. In a world of go-big-or-go-home wrestling, where death-defying aerials have become routine, where does Corrupts fit in?
GRIN: Nowhere, actually. Which is kinda the point. To Corrupts, creativity is king, and the tables, ladders and chairs he encounters during a match aren't obstacles, but integral props in The Outliers circus. His style is surreal, a bit silly, a lot savage and just stuffed with 'Holy shit!' moments, all of which have helped him establish himself as a true individual who's committed to his own beautifully peculiar form of expression. He is nothing if not unapologetically unique. In the middle of a mundane, mainstream world that limits possibilities, his explosive mind and the way he represents it through sheer otherness almost suggests anything is possible. Lucha libre means free fighting, right. It's the special sauce. If you ain't got no sauce, you lost.
GALVATRON: The sauce?
GRIN: It's the way you carry yourself, what makes you you, what makes you an individual and what makes you better than the people who hate you. In Corrupts' case, it's the way he riffs on an endless number of experimental techniques. It's the way he moves in the ring; everything he does is unpredictable which makes it that much more dangerous; he's a Swiss army man. Plenty of people have the ability to wrestle but not the attitude that determines how well you do it. Eric Clapton would say, 'It's In The Way That You Use It.'
HWC: [Turning toward Sawtooh] The Flamingos would say, 'I Only Have Eyes For You!'
GRIN: You're my wild card, cuz.. no game's worth playing without one.
GALVATRON: Alright we have another question from Twitter. This one is for the both of you. From @jennyglasss,
'How did you guys break into Pro Wrestling?'
HWC: Ooo, okay well.. my first job outta high school was head manager of a Haagen Dazs in Chicago making 6 or 7 dollars an hour working forty to sixty hours a week. I had a small apartment that I shared with an old pal of mine, I had a small record collection, my dad's ailing 1987 Pontiac Parisienne, and a tiny little life with my minimum wage job.. which I liked well enough I suppose, but I looked at my life and realized this probably about as good as it's gonna get for me. I might quit this place and go work at my friend's record store simply because I liked being around music. [Sarcastically] And because of my extensive knowledge in retail, I could probably convince him that I'd do a good enough job.. Then I got a very lucky break, 'cause at the same time, I was very frustrated. I said to myself, 'Well, this is going to be a very tough life with a lot of standing on my feet, a lot of manual labor, taking shit from other people, no agency and having very little to show for it by the time Friday night rolls around. Then I happened to meet this fella [motioning over to his beloved] at a show in Chicago, we formed an alliance-- our destinies forever entwined-- and we decided to go for a ride and we haven't got off since. What's the worst that could happen? We fail? We get humiliated?
GRIN: Us and humiliation have always gone hand in hand, we're used to it.
HWC: Eventually had to go back to talk to my boss in Chicago and said, 'I'm not quitting, but here's this thing that happened--
GALVATRON: Adventure calls..
GRIN: 'Many will call me an adventurer, and that I am...only one of a different sort: one who risks his skin to prove his truths.'
HWC: Right, and he said, 'It's your shot.' And I said, 'Yeah..' And he said, 'Take it.' So that's what I did. What we did. We did a lot of shows, learned a lot and more and more promoters started approaching us saying--
GRIN: You're crazy! Can you actually wrestle though?!
HWC: And we're like, 'Yeah, we're starving, can you pay?'
GRIN: I mean were were looking for work and really any chance to get our foot in the door. Never forgetting what we have to go back to--seven dollars.. scoopin' ice cream to your shit heel friends on summer break as it were..
HWC: We just said yes to every job.. getting jobbed gig after gig, but we continued to build our rep and hone our skills. We said yes to everything, worked like crazy men realizing guys like us fail most of the time. 'Cause we were around a lot of really great, super talented people and rarely did they get over the wall. People much more talented than I'll ever be.. I don't have talent, I have tenacity.. I have discipline, I have focus. And I know--without any illusion--what I come from and what I can go back to. Even though we were a couple a twenty-three year old maniacs, we got it.
GRIN: That's when we also realized we better give this all we got and then some otherwise we're gonna starve to death in THE AMERICA. The AMERICA is not a place you live, it's a videogame you try to survive.
HWC: We're not only "Americans," we're "American-ists." We survive in spite of what it wants to do to people like us. And so.. through saying, 'YES!' to everything and realizing I'm one of those people who has to write it three times, while others only have to write it once..that I have to show up early 'cause I'll prolly get lost on the way to the show.. and that I should probably watch, shut up and learn rather than shoot my mouth off.. because of all that.. we are where we are right now, which is a vastly different position than I was even five years ago. So, it's basically a story of.. a lot of luck, but taking advantage of opportunity, working really damn hard knowing there was no choice for me but to work really hard. And that's it and that's not a unique story.. what is unique is that we're lucky enough to do what we love, have a voice and be heard. Without wrestling we don't really know what would've happened to us.. we don't know..
GRIN: THE AMERICA would've happened to us.
HWC: We got a lucky break, but at least we did something with it. The repeating factors of our lives have simply been application, discipline, focus, repetition.
GRIN: A show, a show, another show.. 'Hey, whataya doin' tomorrow?
HWC: 'Eight o'clock, in the ring.'
GRIN: 'Whatcha doin' the night after?'
HWC: 'We'll be in the ring.'
GRIN: 'What about two months from now?', we'll still be on the road-- maybe a different ring, but we'll be there.
HWC: Until we finally decided y'know.. we don't need the keys, we'll break in.
GRIN: YES! We manage ourselves.. we know where we're going. We might not get there--
HWC: Definitely not in one piece..
GRIN: We might not survive it, but we're the ones bookin' it.
GALVATRON: If you had that ONE MOMENT in your life, would you recognize it? And if you recognized it, would you have the courage to act on it? That was some great insight for all you up-and-comers, so I hope you take it to heart. The Outliers are here and they're spreading the L.O.V.E.. is everybody feelin' it? I know I am. Perfect time for me to bring out a little present for Carnage Asada.
[Alejandro runs out of the room and comes back with a flan-like dessert!]
GALVATRON: This is a distinctly Mexican dessert that originates from right here in Guadalajara called, Jericalla. Grin, I've got one for you don't worry. It has a slightly custardy taste with notable cinnamon and vanilla flavors thrown in for good measure. Any chance we might see him in the future?
HWC: [Motioning to Sawtooth..] What's he talking about?
GRIN: Let's just say anything's possible; the future is unwritten.
GALVATRON: That's all we need to hear! We'll be looking forward to it... Okay guys, it's time for the segment in the show where I'll spit a bunch of random community questions at you from the fans, rapid fire. Just answer with the first thing that comes to mind. Ready?
The Outliers: Let's get weird.
GALVATRON: Alright, let's get to it.
GALVATRON: Are The Outliers mean?
HWC: Oh god, you punch a couple hundred orphans and suddenly your mean, this is what I don't understand..
GALVATRON: What does Carnage Asada like to eat?
GRIN: Besides anything at all? Funny you should ask, baby pandas and bald eagles. Fun fact: he eats or drinks without swallowing.
HWC: Final answer.
GALVATRON: Does Sawtooth Grin have any tattoos?
HWC: I wonder...
GRIN: Yeah, I gotta few.
GALVATRON: Do The Outliers really know martial arts?
HWC: Welll, yes, of course.. [Corrupts begins slowly raises up a closed fist in the most intentionally awkward way imaginable.] ..this fist right here for example--this hammer of justice--will cut right through you like butter--
GRIN: [Grin starts busting up] Dude, that's the creepiest thing ever, man..
HWC: [Continuing to talk over Sawtooth] like hot butter, like a hot knife through crunchy peanut butter
GRIN: That hand is just the creepiest thing ever.
HWC: I'm the Richie Jackson of martial arts.
GALVATRON: Do any of you wear glasses?
HWC: What the fug? Okay, yes, I do sometimes.. I have 420/420 X-ray vision, I can see right through you. Just let me assume vivid astro focus..
GRIN: They're fake. He only wears them to look super handsome and smart..and to see right through you.
HWC: What's next? Let's waste more life!
GALVATRON: Did The Outliers ever climb Mount Everest?
HWC: No, we took the elevator. We hate work and sweat and any physical exertion. But seriously, we skydived and landed on it's wondrous peak GTA style..
GALVATRON: Did either of you go to college?
GRIN: No we didn't and that's why we come across as people who are prolly not that sharp, but it's always been a dream of ours to be in debt, owe thousands of dollars in student loans and die drunk and penniless.
HWC: Something to hope for...
GALVATRON: Do The Outliers do their own stunts?
GRIN: No, that would be Tom Cruise.. common misconception that we're happy to clear up.
GALVATRON: What does Sawtooth Grin use in his hair?
HWC: Swamp water, mostly.. with a little dab of politicians' spit.. smart look for sure.. that's how you get it to look that way, right?
GRIN: [Nodding in approval] That's right, Dapper Dan.
GALVATRON: Well, that's it for our community questions, thanks guys for being so open and honest with us.
GRIN: Well that was nice. I hope you all know a little bit more about us now than you did beforehand.
HWC: I know I do and somehow I feel even closer to you..
[Corrupts holds up his hand for what appears to be a pinky swear with Grin.]
GRIN: [Touching his pinky to Corrupts'] High-five!
GALVATRON: Alright since you guys were so awesome about answering all those audience questions, the least I can do is give you the floor for any final words, shout-outs or last thoughts. Let me just say real quick, it was so fuckin' awesome to have you guys here today. We really appreciate it. To all the listeners and viewers.. if you get the chance to see The Outliers live and in person this weekend, don't miss out! I was talking to a friend the other night and trying to put it into words. I landed on something like: there's this freewheeling adventure in the show, but there's always calamity lurking at the edges. It's like that show Adventure Time.. have you guys heard of it or are you into it?
HWC: Oh my glob..
GRIN: Hell yes!
GALVATRON: Okay, good, this will actually make sense.. hopefully. Anyways.. It's like when Jake and Finn make a deal with Peppermint Butler to go into the Land of the Dead, and PB says they'll work out the payment later, and then the episode ends with this piece of peppermint candy in a butler's uniform demanding their skin and saying he'll take it when they sleep. It's just TERRIFIC. There's consequences to every action, but there's still high adventure and awesome things happening all the time. It's a great combination and one I've never seen anywhere else. Well, take it away my friends!
[The Outliers slip into what feels like a fever dream...]
GRIN: American Ultra! Where you at?! We're only gonna say this once.. and we're gonna say it in a language you can understand so listen up. In school we learn that peace is an unnatural state for human society, but war is a constant threat to our relationships with others.
HWC: That's right.
GRIN: So to achieve peace, we have to create it ourselves. Crying about it won't bring it about, or make it last. Each one of us must go and seek it out.
HWC: You won't find it without making sacrifices. No offense, but you don't know what peace is. You've never felt what it's like. Probably not interested. But it will come to our world in one of two ways, by human insight or by conflicts and catastrophes of a magnitude that leave us no other choice. We are at such a juncture. It will be a beautiful Disasterpeace and L.O.V.E, L.O.V.E will tear us apart again.
GRIN: You launched the assault with the first cannonball, my soldiers were sleeping. We've seen the premonitions of war. The battle lines have been drawn and there's going to be A Farewell to Arms when I snap them off in the Leviathan's Mandible. There will be no twenty-one gun salute only a ruthless firing squad; you're in our cross-hairs.
HWC: The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure. We're going to destabilize your regime and drag you each into the Heart of Darkness.
GRIN: Where there are no borders or walls or barriers..
HWC: Ain't no mountain high, ain't no valley low, that can keep us from gettin' to you!
THE OUTLIERS: This land is our land.. [Making eye contact with each other] and it was made for you and me.
