    E024 Twa-matic & Keep the Box Shut

    This week, Ali and Xena light up and dive headfirst into the 2009 Fort Lauderdale Thanksgiving family murders — a story so wild it’ll make you rethink your next family dinner invite. Then things get extra spooky as they unpack the legend of the Dybbuk Box — the cursed wine cabinet that basically said, “let’s make haunted chic.” 👻💅 Expect chaotic giggles, too many snacks, and deep (but slightly high) questions like: can you sage a murder weapon? Should you ever buy haunted furniture on eBay? Grab your bong and your bestie — it’s a hot mess of true crime and paranormal gossip you do not want to miss.

    E023 Trauma - Funny & Negative Congregation

    Join Ali and Xena as they light up and dive into the eerie legends of Alcatraz — from ghostly inmates to phantom guards still pacing the cell blocks. Then, buckle up as they switch gears into the harrowing true story of Elisabeth Fritzl, a woman who survived unthinkable horrors beneath her own home. It’s a chilling mix of the paranormal and the psychological, with the usual chaos, giggles, and half-baked theories you know and love. 🎧 Expect: ghost stories, true crime tangents, and two best friends trying to keep it together while very, very high.

    E022 Cats on Prednisone & Gateway Ghosts

    Grab your snacks and light one up — Ali and Xena are back in the hotbox of hilarity! This week, the besties spiral (in the best way) through the ups and downs of pet parenting — featuring one asthmatic cat, a couple of drama queen dogs, and zero sense of control. Then, they switch gears and get delightfully spooky with the wild case of Jason Shockley and the eerie chaos of the Enfield Poltergeist. It’s true crime meets supernatural nonsense, all filtered through the hazy lens of two high best friends trying their best to make sense of it all. Expect laughs, gasps, and at least one “wait, what were we talking about again?” moment.

    E021 Bucket of Dum Dums & Not Trafficked, Just Adopted

    Yeahhh… so about that “weekly” upload schedule 👀 We swear we had really good intentions (and maybe a few too many munchies). Thanks for being patient — we’re back, a little late but extra baked, and ready to catch up. Pack a bowl and buckle up, because Ali and Xena are diving deep into two wild stories this week — one historic, one horrifying. First up, they take a hazy trip to The Rock itself: Alcatraz. From legendary escape attempts to ghostly rumors, the girls unpack the eerie history of America’s most infamous island prison (and yes, there are plenty of ghost tangents). Then things get darker as they discuss the case of Alicia Kozakiewicz — a powerful, heartbreaking story that shines a light on online safety and survival. It’s a mix of chills, laughs, and the occasional “wait, what?!” moment — classic Ali and Xena chaos, with a side of true crime and weed-induced wisdom.

    E020 Crime Adjacent Consumer Product & Mike Wazowski Winking

    After a short (and very necessary) smoke break, Xena and Ali are finally back! The besties catch up on life — from Xena’s brand-new marriage (!!) to the chaos of trying to adult and keep a podcast alive. Then things take a turn from cozy to crime-y as they dive into the wild story of Jacob Hearn, a young guy whose life went completely off the rails. And just when you think it can’t get weirder, they unwrap the sticky-sweet details of Canada’s legendary Great Maple Syrup Heist (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like). Expect laughs, deep thoughts, and just the right amount of high tangents — it’s classic Xena and Ali energy through and through.

    E019 Adrenaline is a Crazy Drug & Recklessly Vibing

    What do nail polish, haunted houses, and true crime have in common? Weed. In this episode, Xena and Ali spark up and spiral (in the best way) from light-hearted chit-chat about nail colors and travel plans to the jaw-dropping survival story of Alison Botha — a South African badass who lived through a brutal attack and came out inspiring the world. Naturally, things get weirder (and higher) as they stumble into the haunted history of Greenwich Village’s “House of Death.” It’s laughs, gasps, and probably some snacks — because yes, they’re definitely high the whole time.

    E018 Not The Vibe & Chillin With My Hand Cuffs

    In this hazy deep-dive, your favorite high-functioning stoners take on two of the wildest and weirdest cases in North American true crime history. First up: the horrifying story of the Pickton Farm, where Canadian pig farmer Robert Pickton did things we honestly wish weed could make us forget. It's grim, it's gruesome, and somehow, we still manage to laugh through the horror (coping mechanism? Probably). Then we lighten the mood (kinda?) by unraveling the mystery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist, aka the biggest unsolved art theft in history. Who stole the art? Why did they leave that weird frame hanging? And would we notice if a Rembrandt was missing from our own living room? So spark up, settle in, and get ready for a rollercoaster of murder, mystery, and museum-grade confusion. 🐷🎨💨 Warning: This episode contains dark content, dumb jokes, and a lot of “Wait… WHAT?” moments.

    E017 Potato Babies & Fantastical Fanatical

    On this episode of Highly Mentally Ill, your favorite high-functioning, highly medicated, and definitely a little bit stoned hosts are back with two wild stories that’ll leave you questioning reality (and maybe your own identity). First up, we dive into the mind-bending case of Kimaya Mobley—kidnapped as a newborn and raised by her abductor for 18 years without ever knowing the truth. It's like The Truman Show meets Dateline, and yes, we were very high while processing all of it. Then, we take a left turn into the reincarnation rabbit hole with the story of Barbro Karlen, who claimed from a young age that she was actually Anne Frank. Is it delusion? Past life memory? Or just another Tuesday on this podcast? Come for the true crime and strange history, stay for the chaotic tangents, munchies-fueled insights, and unfiltered mental health commentary. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of kidnapping, identity trauma, and themes of psychological distress. Also, weed. Lots of weed.
