You're in the Paracast. You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.

And now, here's Gene Steinberg.

You know, a few minutes before this episode, the Paracast began, I had a little lunch, so I decided to splurge.

Instead of having something at home, I went to a fast food outfit called Carl's Jr.

In some parts of the country in the U.S., it's called Hardee's.

Same ownership, same basic restaurant.

And they have something called the Beyond Burger. I splurge. The Beyond

burger means it's not meat. It's based on plant protein. And no fries or anything like that, just a

sandwich. Brought back home. And I tried it. It's a fairly close approximation of a grilled hamburger. Pretty close. Mrs. Steinberg

tasted it and said, I don't like meat that much anyway. But when I was thinking about this,

very grisly, this green plant protein was made from and still emulates a real hamburger.

I was thinking here of a famous phrase from a movie,

Soylent Green is people.

Well, that fell.

Charlton Heston, right?

No, no, no, no.

Hold it.

That was Edward G. Robinson, his final movie where he was telling the Charlton Heston character,

Silent Green is people dying.

You know, it's as good of a punchline as to serve humans.

I like the Omega Man better.

Well, you see what's happening here also when I talk about Beyond Burger.
