- Voodoo [censored] scares the hell out of Big Shar.
- What is that?! What is that?! What is it?!
- Psychopath behavior in its purest form.
- What do you think of death row felons and their last meals?
- Oooh. - Woah! This is not what I thought
we were gonna do! - (laughs)
- Okay, so we've had some strange dishes
from super simple to really nice ones.
But I guess we'll find out. - Yeah.
He doesn't look familiar at all to me.
He looks really serious. - He looks chillin'.
But I feel like you're gonna tell me he did some crazy [censored].
- (PvF) Well, Dustin Higgs is currently the most recent person
executed by the US federal government. His case, conviction, and execution
are the subject of multiple controversies
as he was involved in a murder case, but he did not, in fact,
commit the crime. He was waiting in a car nearby.
- Ooh! Okay. - (PvF) The prosecution argued
that Higgs was the ringleader, bullying Willis Mark Haynes
into committing the murders. And he was sentenced to death.
- Oh my god. - That's kind of wild.
- Okay. So was Charles Manson. - It's not delivery.
It's death row. - (PvF) For his last meal,
he requested pizza, a strawberry shake,
and jelly-filled donuts. - Where are my donuts, [censored]?
(laughs) - They messed up his order
and forgot the donuts. - Are you kidding me?
- I love jelly-filled donuts. - Oh my god!
- I'd be so sad. - Awww.
- (PvF) His final words were, "What's with that?
That should be fixed." - Well, I mean, he got a point.
- That's hilarious. - That someone who has
accepted their fate. - Yeah, I mean, look at the Karens,
who-- their order just gets messed up and they throw a fit.
- It's not something extravagant. - I feel like pizza's a pretty
safe choice. - It's hard to go wrong,
but they did go wrong. - People don't get comforted
by extravagant meals. - (PvF) So, on a scale of 1 to 10,
with 10 being your favorite, what would you rate this and why?
- Eight. - I'm gonna have to give this an eight
because the combination of the two. - I'm giving it a five
'cause they didn't give me the donut. They forgot the donut!
- I just remembered. I'm gonna do a five.
- I would give this a four. The milkshake's not doing it
at all for me. - I feel like this is a solid three.
- I'm gonna give it a 10 because I don't want him
to be upset with my answer and come and haunt me.
- (laughs) - (gasps)
- [Censored] is guilty. - (both laugh)
- She looks like a flapper from, like, the '20s.
- She's guilty of having the best jawline in history.
- Oh! - Doesn't look very menacing
or anything like that. In my opinion, at least.
- (PvF) A crime of passion. - Ooh.
- (PvF) Ruth Snyder, along with her lover,
Henry Judd Gray, murdered her husband, Albert,
after obviously purchasing a good life insurance policy.
- Oh my gosh. - Mmm.
- (PvF) It took them seven attempts before they got it right.
- They tried to kill this man seven times?!
- You know what? At this point, that's Albert's fault.
- (PvF) Snyder was executed at Sing Sing, just 10 minutes
before her now ex-lover, Gray, who turned on her during the trial,
saying it was all her fault. - Ooh, Gray.
- Ouch. - Smart man.
- (PvF) Both of them received the death penalty.
- Oh, not that smart. (chuckles)
- (gasps) - Don't start eating.
- I won't. - I wasn't really talking--
- I was like, "I know you're talking to her."
- (laughs) - Just so you know,
there's a milkshake coming. Chicken parmesan with alfredo pasta,
ice cream, a milkshake, and grape soda.
- That's a meal right there. - She said, "Give me
all the dairy." - I'm gonna vomit looking at it.
- I'm so giddy with this meal right now.
- She's so happy. - Really happy.
- Stop [censored] hitching your wagon to a dude.
If you're gonna kill someone, just kill 'em for you.
I'm just kidding. Don't kill people.
- Nicole, I've never tried grape soda before. Cheers.
- Cheers. Thumbs up.
- And one sip's all I need. - (PvF) How's it all tasting together?
- Well, it's not good. - It's heavy.
- I'm gonna give this one an 8 out of 10.
- Again, I'm going with a 10 so I don't get haunted.
- But I feel like just this right here would be a 10.
So, with these included, we'll take it down to an eight.
- This, to me, would be a 10 out of 10 meal.
- This is all fine to me besides the grape soda.
I wanna say an eight, but that'd be copying you,
so a seven. - It really would.
- Yeah. - I'm gonna give it a (belches) six.
- Okay, I already don't like him, so...
- Sex crime. - What portion-- oh!
- You know, I think it's the glasses. - I mean...
- I'm wearing glasses. - No, those types of glasses.
- (PvF) A model prisoner. - Model prisoner.
- (PvF) A convicted child molester. - Oh, hell no.
- I was close. - (PvF) And a confirmed serial killer.
- (gasps)
- (PvF) Douglas Franklin Wright has a trail of victims
that spans over three decades. - DECADES?!
- (PvF) After first confessing to sexually assaulting
more than 70 young boys
in the early 1960s... - 70 young-- (gags)
- (PvF) ...he served eight years in prison.
Upon release, he broke into the home of a friend of a family
and murdered 71-year-old Margaret Rosenberry
and her granddaughter before abducting the five-year-old grandson,
who he molested. - Oh, I hate this guy SO! MUCH!
- (PvF) He was then sentenced to 35 years, but he was paroled
in 1982 for good behavior. - (sarcastic) Ah, good behavior.
- They let him back out?! - WHAT?!
- Oh, you know what? Never mind. Sounds about white.
- (PvF) But once he got out again in 1991, he murdered at least three,
if not more, people and finally was given the death penalty.
- No! You! Did! Not! - Ah.
- I don't even wanna eat it. - Me either!
- Looks like a turd. - (PvF) This serial killer's request
was simple: one honey bun. - He doesn't deserve a honey bun.
- He doesn't even deserve this. - For him just to only ask
for a honey bun is juvenile. - This is something that I loved
and ate as a child. No way. - (gasps)
- This makes a lot of sense. I can't explain exactly how,
but it makes a lot of sense. - If there was an inkling in me
that wanted to taste this, after that story...no.
- The system, the person, how many chances he got.
- Psychopath behavior in its purest form.
- (PvF) You're not gonna taste this meal?
- No! It's a stupid honey bun. - (laughs)
- Oh, I HATE this guy so much! - (PvF) And how are we rating
his dish? - Zero.
- Zero! - Get it out of here.
- Haunt me, [censored]. - Ooh, this is gonna be a one for me
just on the basis of just this man is trash
and his choices are trash. - It's a one.
- It's a one. Easy. - You wanna have a last meal,
you don't ask for a honey bun. - I'm gonna give him a zero.
[Censored] this guy. [Censored] this honey bun.
- Guilty. - Aw. (laughs)
- A pair now? - (PvF) When Raymond Fernandez
answered a Lonely Hearts ad in 1947 from Martha Beck...
- Uh-oh. - (PvF) ...he had no idea he was
meeting his criminal soulmate. - Oh, yeah.
- (laughs) - Oh, I thought he was gonna
murder her. Okay. - Oh, yeah. I thought she was
gonna murder him. - (PvF) Fernandez was a former
merchant marine, who served in the British intelligence
during World War II. But his life changed when
an accidental injury injured his skull and frontal lobe.
- Oh my god! That's the whole thing! Serial killers.
Frontal lobe accidents. - (PvF) Beck posed as his sister
so that women would feel comfortable answering the ad.
But she would become enraged and jealous if things ever got
a little too, uh...intimate between him and their victims.
- I'ma stop complimenting them. - This is some kinky [censored].
She gets jealous in the closet and then comes out
and they murder the girl. - Ew.
That's real? - A [censored] cigar.
- Oh! - (PvF) Fernandez requested
an onion omelet, French fries, chocolate candy, and Cuban cigar,
whilst Beck went with fried chicken, potatoes, and salad.
- So, this was her meal. - Yeah.
- And this is his meal. - This is from a diner.
She home cooked. - I would not want a salad
as a part of my last meal, though. - Yeah, I'm bored.
- Throw some hot sauce on that? That's chef's kiss.
- (PvF) All right, what would you rate these and why?
Let's start with Fernandez. - I'm gonna go five
because it's just sad diner. - Ballsy for being, like,
"Yo, give me a cigar before you kill me."
So, I'll bump this up to a five.
- I'm gonna give this a 10. And here's the reason why...
- I'ma give him a seven.
- This. - The cigar?
- Yeah. - I'm not gonna give him anything
higher than a seven because he didn't get a drink?
- This is still a low number. It's three for me and that's a two.
- I'm gonna do three and three. - 10 because I feel like
that was just some good home cookin'.
- I'm gonna go four. - I'm gonna give this a nine.
- I think I'm gonna go with a two. I mean, there's no part of this
besides maybe the potatoes that I would enjoy.
- Yeah, this guy's looking rough. - Guilty.
- Guilty! - (PvF) Edmund Zagorski lured two men
into the woods under the pretense of selling them 100 pounds
of marijuana before stealing the money, shooting them,
and slitting their throats. - That's a lot of-- wait.
- That's overkill.
- Okay. - Right. (laughs)
- (PvF) His last words? "Let's rock."
- [Censored] you.
- What the hell is that? - What is that?
- What? - Huh?
- What is that?! What is that?! What is it?!
- (PvF) His last meal: pickled ham hocks, or pig knuckles,
and pigs' tails. - Which one's which? Honestly.
- I'm hoping it's a knuckle and not a knuckle.
- Oh. - (laughs)
- It has lines of fat on it. This is raw meat.
This is meat. What did you just do?
- It makes me sad 'cause their little tails
are so cute. They just... - And they're also so delicious.
I mean, the entire pig is cute. - (gasps)
- The pig's happy. It's just like, "Doodoodoo."
- Stop. - (PvF) I feel like Julian's shaking.
- He is. Oh my god. - This is hair of the beast itself!
- There you go. It's not that bad. - Yeah.
- It's just pork. - Ew!
- Come on, Sabrina. Let's do it. - No! Have you smelt it?
- Yeah, it smells horrible. (laughs) - I like pickled stuff.
- I like pickled stuff. I don't know if I like pickled meat.
- (sniffs) Ugh! - Okay, that's not that bad.
- That's causing my gag reflex. - Don't be dramatic.
- Oh, "don't be dramatic"? - Oh, she's interested.
She took a second bite.
- Ugh! - I'm gonna go with a...one.
- It's low for me, but still above the other foods.
It's a four. - Let's give it a two
because that wasn't that bad. - Flavor-wise, I'm gonna
give this a six. - I'm gonna give this another zero.
This should not be consumed by humans. - Okay, so I don't absolutely
hate it. It just caught me off guard
'cause it was very vinegar-y. I would give this a five.
- I would've expected this to be the meal
of the horrible child molester. - Yeah.
- As opposed to the guy who killed some people
he was gonna sell 100 pounds of pot to.
- (laughs)
- Oh my god. - I don't like it.
- I don't like him. - It looks like he literally just
mouth-kissed a woman against her will.
- I don't like that he's smiling. - Yeah.
- (PvF) In 1984, Ronnie Lee Gardner killed someone during
a robbery gone wrong. But his bigger mistake:
trying to escape from the courthouse
with a smuggled revolver and shooting and killing
an attorney at the courthouse.
- Oh my god. - Why?!
Oh, steak and lobster. Woo, fancy guy, who's crazy.
- Ahhh! What-- - Wait!
- (PvF) His last meal request was quite interesting:
steak, lobster, apple pie a la mode, 7UP
before fasting for 48 hours and watching the entire
Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also read Divine Justice
and said that the fast and screening were motivated
for spiritual reasons. - (claps) This man--
- Don't applaud him. - They let this guy watch
the Lord of the Rings? - Yeah, what the hell?
- I'm gonna be like, "Just send me to jail.
I wanna watch Lord of the Rings." - Yeah, damn.
- You could tell with all of the other crazy residual
serial killers and the weird combinations that they did,
this man was of sound mind. - This is the only thing I like.
- I mean, it's still better than an onion omelet.
- You right. - I feel like lobster's a classic
final meal. - You got a little surf and turf
with the-- - I like it. I like it.
- (PvF) All right, how would you rank this and why?
- It's a 10 out of 10. - This is a 10.
This is a 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - This is a 10 out of 10.
- Say it's a seven. - I'm gonna give this an eight.
- I'm gonna give it a one. So, it's just-- the steak
is the only good part for me. - Um, this right here
makes this an instant 10, okay? - I am about to get
my [censored] rocked on the internet, but I have never seen any
of the Lord of the Rings films. - What the?!
- Nor will I probably ever! - Ugh! You should be
on death row for that! - I mean, it's a bad photo,
but he don't look bad in it. - No.
- He's guilty of that hairline, my boy! What the hell?!
- (PvF) James Edward Smith was a tarot card reader
and taxi driver. - Okay, love that for him.
- (PvF) He shot and killed a bank teller in a heist.
- Don't-- - Don't love that.
- No, don't love that for him. - (PvF) Also, like Ronnie Lee Gardner,
he tried to escape from the courthouse but was unsuccessful.
- (chuckles) - (PvF) He was sentenced to death
and waived all appeals to speed up his execution.
He is quoted as saying, "Life is a temporary situation.
The spirit moves on." - True. True.
- (PvF) "Death is like eating a prune in the morning.
It's a natural function." - He literally just said
that life is crap.
Wha-- eh-- that's dirt.
- What is that? - He made yo-dirt?
- (both laugh) - (PvF) So, his last meal request
was quite interesting. He asked for Rhaeakunda dirt,
part of a voodoo ritual to assist in his reincarnation.
- No. Nope. Get it away from me. Nope.
- (PvF) He was denied as it was not on the list
of approved foods... - Nope.
- (PvF) So, he settled for some plain yogurt.
- I'm sorry, Nicole, did you say that this was dirt
from a graveyard? Which one-- ahhh!
- Oh my god! - I think I'm gonna be cursed now.
- No. - The yogurt's fine.
- I don't ca-- I don't want anything associated with that.
- Ooh! You hit us with the zero sugar, zero fat Greek yogurt.
- (PvF) Plain yogurt. - Voodoo [censored] scares
the hell out of Big Shar. - Put it in the notes:
durian and voodoo. - (Sharon) Ugh!
- I mean, it doesn't matter if I-- I can just try it.
- Don't. No, no, no, don't, don't, don't.
- I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding!
- Please don't eat the dirt. - The look on her face
when she thought you were about to eat-- just, like--
- I wonder what graveyard it comes from.
- You guys have any idea the bad juju that you just brought
into my world? - I don't want my dirt.
He could've picked anything else, and he settled on yogurt?
That sucks. That-- - That's boring.
- That's a three. - It's just plain yogurt,
so I'ma give it a two. - I wanna say seven for the dirt,
but (sighs) - (PvF) It's fine. Seven it is.
- Seven it is. - I'll give it a three as well.
- Give it a-- I'm gonna give it a nine.
It's spooky season. We got the graveyard dirt.
- I'm gonna rate it a 10... - Uh-huh.
- ...out of respect for where that came.
- (PvF) We've tallied up the scores. And Ruth Snyder, at the very least,
has the best taste in food. - That makes sense to me.
- I mean, that's accurate. - Yeah.
- Okay! - Yeah.
She deserves it. - Yeah!
- No. - Really?
- Mm-mm. - Really? I don't think I agree
with that. - Boo!
- Right. - I mean, what else are you
gonna do? Eat dirt? You wanna eat the dirt?
- No. Stop talking to me about the dirt.
- Okay. - I can't even hear about this.
- Sorry. - Anything else?
- No! Don't eat the dirt! - (chuckles)
I almost wanna do it. - Please don't eat the dirt!
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
