- This is gross! This looks like him, dumb!
- The wrinkly skin.
- (PvF) Today, you guys are gonna be trying and rating
the last meals of some infamous criminals on death row.
- Criminals! - What?
- We're talking about prison. - The big one.
- Are they gonna come back and haunt me?
- Oh, I didn't even think about the after.
- That's always my fear, yeah. - Afterlife.
- This man looks like he's never blinked.
- Oh, guilty, and he is a serial killer.
- He looks, he's bald.
- (PvF) Manuel Pardo Jr. was a former police officer.
(Chris sighs) - Oh.
- (PvF) In Florida.
- Ugh. - Oh God!
- (PvF) Who turned into a notorious criminal,
also known as the Death Row Romeo.
- What? - (Nicholas) What?
- What do you mean Romeo?
- Like he romanced? - This man was getting bitches?
- (PvF) In the late 1980s,
Pardo, after being fired from the police department,
became involved in the drug trade and went on a killing spree.
- Ooh, oh!
- (PvF) He confessed to killing at least nine victims,
but claimed that they were drug dealers who had no right to live,
and that he was doing society a favor.
While on death row awaiting execution,
he placed lonely hearts ads and targeted vulnerable women,
scamming them out of hundreds or thousands of dollars.
- What did he spend the money on? (laughs)
Like there's no, what did he buy? - Prison cigarettes, what else?
- Soap? (laughs) - Yeah.
- They knew he was on death row,
and then they were like yeah, here's some money.
- Is this eggnog?
- Oh!
- (PvF) For his last meal, he requested rice and beans,
roasted pork, plantains, avocado, tomato and olive oil,
pumpkin pie, eggnog, and Cuban coffee.
- Eggnog! - It's eggnog!
That's why it's bubbly. - Oh, Cuban coffee?
- (PvF) Cuban coffee, have you had Cuban coffee before?
- I've... - No, what is a Cuban coffee?
- I don't think I've ever had Cuban coffee.
- (PvF) Try some Cuban coffee.
- Just like kiss it.
- Oh good God. - (Benison) Yeah, isn't that so...
- (PvF) Isn't that crazy?
- (coughs) Mm-hmm.
- Oh my God!
Now I can understand why his eyes are that big.
(Chris laughs)
- I've never had warm eggnog, have you?
- Yeah, me neither, that's actually pretty pleasant.
Did you like it? - It is pleasant.
(both laugh)
- No, it's good, it's got a little salt and pepper in there,
it's got some spice, it's got some flavor.
- I'm gonna keep eating the peppered meat.
- It's nice.
- Yeah, this is good.
- This is a great dish. - This is a good meal.
- (PvF) What would you rate this meal, and why?
- One.
Actually no, two. (both laugh)
- Because of the fact that this is our first one,
I'm gonna give this an eight, because like,
it is a whole meal.
- I'm gonna give it a seven.
- I'll give it a five.
- I'd give this a six. I feel like it's well balanced.
It's got a bit of everything.
- I give this meal a five, 'cause you're a piece of [censored],
and you don't deserve anything more than that!
- Is that a child murderer?
- I'm afraid, because I see... - Children.
- If the kids are in it, if she did something to those kids...
- I'm gonna be really upset.
- (PvF) In 2004, Lisa Ann Coleman and her partner, Marcella Williams,
were convicted of torturing and murdering
Marcella's nine year old son, Davontae.
- These are the ones I can't handle.
- Torturing and killing?
- These are the ones I can't handle.
- (PvF) He died of malnutrition, weighing only 35 pounds.
- As nine years old!?
- (PvF) With over 250 scars on his body.
(Chris sighs) - They counted them!?
- (PvF) Marcella, the mother, pleaded guilty to the murder
in exchange for life imprisonment,
while Coleman's case went to trial, and she received the death sentence.
- Death, death it is, forget anything I said
about paying back to society, let's get it over with.
- Huh?
- What is going on here?
- Why is there toast?
- (PvF) For her last meal, she had a fried pork chop,
macaroni and cheese, carrots, green beans, navy beans,
sliced bread, a pineapple orange cake, water, tea, and punch.
- I love the commitment to water to stay hydrated. (laughs)
Right before you're dead. (Brian laughs)
- This food looks like trash, by the way.
It's gross. - The mac and cheese looks good.
- It feels like there's a lot of extra
that doesn't need to be there.
- Yeah, like what is... - The beans, didn't even try 'em.
- This pork situation looks good.
Breaded well. - I mean, it's good.
It is good.
- Mmm.
- This dessert is winning a lot of points.
- Straight up.
- I'm gonna give it a one, and the one is for the mac and cheese.
- For everything put together, seven.
- I give this meal a zero. (buzzer)
Because, I just don't like her,
and the food she picked wasn't that great.
- I'm also gonna give this one a seven.
The meal itself, really good.
- To have that taste good, I'm like no.
- Yeah, right. - No.
You starved that kid. - Yeah, that's the other thing.
- Zero! - Zero.
Get this out of here.
- It's giving they woke me up to arrest me.
(both laugh)
- I'm gonna say he took a bat to somebody. (laughs)
- He's looking slimy a little bit.
- (PvF) Known as the Ninja Killer.
- Oh boy, oh boy.
- (PvF) Louis Bernard Gaskin went on a random killing spree
in Palm Coast, Florida.
- Mm-hmm.
- Nope. (laughs) You already had me at Florida.
- (PvF) He dressed in a full black ninja outfit
to avoid identification.
- Right, 'cause nobody would be like, well, what did he look like?
- Just like... - I have no idea.
- Who's that running ninja?
- (PvF) He shot and killed one couple,
and attempted to murder a second couple, who escaped.
- Yeah.
- (PvF) He confessed to just having an urge to kill.
- Wow.
- I don't think it's normal to just have an urge to kill.
- (PvF) And also, while incarcerated,
confessed to having killed a coworker three years earlier.
- Dude, you can't even go to work, bruh.
- Oh wow. - Oh!
- Okay, now, this is looking more like an end of life meal.
- Yeah, this is, I'm okay with this.
- (PvF) For his last meal, he ate barbecue pork ribs,
buffalo wings, shrimp fried rice,
french fries with honey barbecue sauce,
turkey necks, and water.
- I'm going straight for the neck. - You're just going for the neck?
- If you know what I'm saying.
- Mmm. I've never had turkey neck before.
It's a very interesting thing.
- I'm just going in on this wing.
This wing is really hitting the spot right now.
- I don't love the sauce. - Mm-mm, I don't either.
- It's a dark meat, huh?
Yeah, it's not my favorite.
- Yeah, I'm not a fan.
- (PvF) You should, have you had turkey necks before?
- No. (laughs)
Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!
That was like, ooh that was like cartilage, that was like tendons,
that felt ooh, that felt medical.
- This feels like an appetizer platter at Applebee's.
(both laugh)
- Besides the turkey neck, I would give it like a seven.
- I'd say a seven feels right.
- For a meal as a whole, five.
- Honestly, a four.
- The meal itself, it's such a hodgepodge,
that I'm gonna go with like a four.
The fact that he dressed as a ninja does bring it up to a five for me.
(both laugh)
But you killed people, so it brings it back down to a four.
- Can I just agree with Sharon's rating on that?
- Hey, real quick, my boy, look at me, like what...
- Right, look at the camera.
- He looks like he is not aware that he is being arrested.
- Is this guy a pedophile?
- (PvF) In 1965, Robert Lee Massie
committed his first murder, and was sentenced to death.
However, following the Furman v. Georgia case in 1972,
which invalidated all then-existing legal constructs for the death penalty
he was re-sentenced to life in prison.
- Okay.
- (PvF) And paroled in 1978. - No!
I can see where this is going.
- (PvF) Just a few months later, he murdered his second victim,
and pleaded guilty, despite his lawyer telling him not to.
On appeal, the Supreme Court of California
overturned the conviction,
saying that he can not plead guilty against the advice of his lawyer.
- What? - Wow, wow.
- When has that ever been a thing, what?
- So he went out again.
- (PvF) He was retried, and a jury found him guilty,
and he was sentenced to death for a third and final time.
- God, third time's the charm, baby!
- God. - What?
- Ooh, I'm gonna go in on this smoothie!
- See, this is my type of...
- Oh, see, this is my type of...
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
- Come on! - I don't know what that is.
- (PvF) For his last meal, he had two vanilla milkshakes,
extra crispy french fries, extra crispy fried oysters.
- Oh. - Oysters!
- (PvF) And a soft drink.
- I've never had fried oysters.
- How do you feel?
- I don't know how I feel about it.
- Personally, for me, when it comes to oysters,
it's raw or nothing.
- Oysters?
Ugh.
- (PvF) Oh, you gotta try one bite.
You can spit it out, but, you should try one.
- Sorry, oh, I saw the inside, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- I don't like that. Ugh.
- Two milkshakes, this guy downed.
- Those fries are damn good.
- Mmm, and you know this guy's gonna spend some time like this.
- Oh, he was fry dipping. - Ooh, he was definitely...
- Compared to all of the other ones,
this is like a three.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna give it a four, just for like,
the milkshake, great!
- Let's say a five,
because the oyster is the only part I don't like out of it.
- Yeah, I mean, I also give it a five,
but I don't have that many negative things to say about it.
It just doesn't seem like this would be it.
- Five! - Yeah, five.
- Like some good winners. - Yeah!
- Some like meh, meh. - Mm.
- And then this guy, eh. - Yeah. (laughs)
- Five.
- She looks like she did something.
(both laugh)
- Riggs, Carol Riggs.
- She looks guilty, yo.
- In 1997, licensed practical nurse, Christina Marie Riggs
murdered her two children age two and five.
(Chris sighs) - No!
- (PvF) By injecting them... - No!
- (PvF) With Potassium Chloride. - No!
- (PvF) She obtained from her hospital,
which caused burning in his veins, but not death.
She then smothered both of her children
and attempted suicide, but failed.
She claims that the murders were the result of depression
and PTSD from working as a nurse
near the site of the Oklahoma City bombing.
- I have clinical depression,
I have never once wanted to kill a child.
- (PvF) She did not put on a defense,
saying she wanted to be executed.
- She failed the suicide, so she was like please kill me.
- (PvF) Her final words? - Yeah?
- (PvF) I love you, my babies.
- Oh! - No!
No! - Come on!
- No!
Like, this is not okay.
- Ooh, I do love some good pizza though.
(both laugh)
- Pizza!
- (PvF) For her last meal, she had a supreme pizza,
salad, fried okra, cherry limeade,
and a strawberry shortcake.
- I mean, in terms of last meals, you can't go wrong with pizza.
- Agreed.
- Mmm. - Salad.
- I love strawberry shortcake so much.
- Okra? - I've never had okra.
- (PvF) Ooh, try some! - Oh, you should try it!
- I was going to. (both laugh)
Eh. - Eh.
That's what I'm thinking, okra, dude?
Loser, man, loser, you chose okra?
- You're such a piece of... - What a loser.
- Like no, this is like a five. This is mid.
This is mid range. - Yeah, yeah.
- I give it a five.
'Cause I feel like there's too many weird things together.
- It makes sense together, in my head,
so I'm just gonna give it a six.
- I feel like it's giving seven.
- I hate this woman. - Damn, she...
- So much.
- She ate a whole pizza before she went?
Of course she did. - Ugh!
- Zero! This girl's getting a zero!
- What's up dawg, how's your hairline?
Oops, sorry, I'm so sorry. - Oh, receding!
- This guy does not look remorseful.
- Hmm. - This guy's [censored], oops.
- (PvF) Gilbert Ray Postelle
began using meth on a daily basis...
- Oh boy. - (PvF) When he was 12.
- Oh! 12!?
- (PvF) Which his father manufactured
in an old school bus behind their home.
His father was in a severe motorcycle accident,
receiving a brain injury resulting in seizures.
Gilbert, this man, believed a man named Donnie Swindle
was responsible, despite there being zero evidence.
- Sure.
- Okay.
- (PvF) So Gilbert, along with his brother, father, and another man,
executed Swindle and three other people
with an AK-47 in a blitz attack.
He was 18 years old when he committed this murder.
- (whispers) Oh, Jeez Louise.
- That's obviously not surprising, because of the, wait for it.
- (both) Meth!
- Meth isn't cool.
- Wow. - Oh my God.
Is this Mickey D's?
- Alright dawg. (laughs) - Chickie nuggies?
- (PvF) His last meal, a 20 piece Chicken McNuggets,
with ranch, barbecue, and honey mustard,
large fries, a crispy chicken sandwich,
a regular chicken sandwich, large coke, and a caramel frappe.
- Fully McDonald's, this guy, last... - Full McDonald's.
- Honestly, respect.
- I mean, big Mickey D's fan. I'm going honey mussy.
- Oh yeah, you gotta.
This is like my childhood. - Mm-hmm.
- Chicken nuggets, honey mustard.
- This is slappin'. This is hitting the spot right now.
- It's good, but it's like interesting, you know?
It's an interesting choice, I think, for the last meal.
- That's where his mental state finished at what, 12?
Yeah. - Wow.
- (Sharon) But he was heart healthy, 'cause he was going all chicken.
- An eight?
Just 'cause of the respect for the chickie nuggies,
the assortment of sauces, the fries to go along with it.
- You know what? I give it an eight.
Why not?
I love some Mickey D's, and I love a chicken sandwich.
- Just because of the fact that I love me some chickie nuggies,
it's like a six.
- I'll keep it at a six. - Wow!
Can I just be agreeing with Sharon this whole way?
'Cause like this is the same... - It's life.
That happens to a lot, yeah.
- I'm going six as well!
- I'd give it a seven. I would, I mean, I would eat this.
- Sir?
The soul patch is patchin'. (laughs)
- Why is that gray?
- Ooh, well, he looks like I could be related to him.
- This guy looks like a creep, man.
- (PvF) Joseph Paul Franklin was a serial killer.
- Great. - Great.
- (PvF) And American Neo-Nazi terrorist.
- No! - Double great, wow, ooh!
- Oh, that is the worst one, Nicole!
- (PvF) Who went on a murder spree in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
He was convicted of several murders,
so much so that he received four life sentences,
and two death sentences.
- How do you do two? - He got killed twice!
- (PvF) He also confessed to the attempted murders
of Larry Flynt in 1978.
- Oh really, is he the one that shot him,
and why he's in the wheel chair?
- No way! - Really!
- (PvF) And civil rights activist Vernon Jordan in 1980.
- Oh yeah!
- (PvF) He sought to cleanse the world of people
he considered inferior, especially... - Ew, ew, ew, ew!
- Mm, heard that before, buddy.
- (PvF) His primary source of support were bank robberies
and paid blood bank donations,
which is actually, eventually, what lead to his capture by the FBI.
- Yeah, stupid, stupid ass. - Ah.
- Like really? You're gonna give your DNA, buddy?
- Uh... - Oh hell no.
- Dude, even the coloring here is like...
- This is a very, yeah, white supremacist meal.
- Yeah. - Huh.
- (PvF) He declined the last meal,
but had a lunch of roast beef and potatoes.
- He declined the last meal?
You're too good for a last meal, huh, my guy?
- I mean, come on!
- Yeah, I mean, it, like, first of all,
this, no.
But more so than that, um... - It's...
- What he did, no! (laughs)
- Oh.
- This is gross! - Uh-huh.
- This looks like him, dumb! - It really does.
- If you put his picture right here, it looks exactly like him.
- Yeah, I mean, the wrinkly skin.
- Yeah, honestly, I'm just gonna give this a one.
- That, no...
- Because this isn't even his last meal.
- I'm gonna give it a straight up zero, 'cause no.
- This is a crazy person.
Why would you do this to yourself, like...
- Yeah, this is a lot.
I feel bad that I gave anything a one towards the beginning,
because this was the true, this is zero territory.
- Like, it's good. I'd give it like a four.
But just, it's like underwhelming.
- I'm gonna give this a negative four.
- Wow! I'm gonna...
- Because it resembles him so much.
- Yeah, I'm gonna give it a zero.
- (PvF) We've tallied up the scores, and Gilbert, with his McDonald's meal,
at the very least, had the best tasting food.
- McDonald's is a worldwide taste, so...
- Chickie nuggies, honey mussy.
- He was the only one that didn't get from me,
negative points. - Yeah, me too.
- I mean, I feel like that was the best option that you could've picked.
- Kids, don't do meth. (Sharon laughs)
Don't be going around sharing your blood,
and don't be killing people.
- (Sharon) Don't be killing other people.
- Like what are you doing?
- (PvF) Hey, Chef Ash. - Mmm?
- (PvF) What would your last meal be?
- I'm gonna stand by this.
A cold can of Diet Pepsi and a handful of popcorn.
- (PvF) No. - How about you?
- (PvF) That's so weird. - I don't care.
What about you?
- (PvF) I would eat all the things that I can't eat anymore,
like onions and garlic and dairy.
I'd just have like giant pizzas.
- There you go. - (PvF) And probably steak.
- Absolutely. - (PvF) Mm-hmm.
