Hypnotist Paul Ramsay joins The 404 Podcast

Today is a very unusual since we don't actually talk about any stories, but we're all too lucid to give a damn. Paul Ramsay, professional hypnotist joins us in the studio to put us under his trance while he explains how the process works, the benefits of hypnotherapy, and the overall power of the mind. If nothing else, you have to hear him put Wilson into the most docile state we've ever seen, to the point where he start to drool and we're forced to tape a cup to his chin.
