Guide to the Unknown 125: Toilet Monsters

On Episode 125 of Guide to the Unknown:

It’s our first ever remotely recorded episode! We don’t go to restaurants or the gym anymore. Out the window.

ANYWAY, in this time of great stress, we decided to call in one of our closest allies: the humble toilet.

Yes, the toilet has a long folkloric history! It is one of the unsung Scream Queens of the horror genre! Psycho, Hanako-San, The Legend of Zelda, Moaning Myrtle, and so much more!

Let the healing begin!

Speaking of healing, be sure to head to BetterHelp.com/gttupod to get 10% off your first month of counseling! Betterhelp can connect with a licensed counselor remotely. You can talk over text or even set up a video chat. Seriously, we've both been doing this and it's great!
