If I was to have anything I wanted for my last meal on Earth, assuming I am still in any shape to eat, I would go for a home-cooked dinner. A bowl of rice, with fish steamed in soy sauce, garnished with spring onion, ginger and black bean; wok-fried choi sum with garlic seasoning; and chicken wings marinated in stock sauce. For my drink, a large nutella-flavoured milkshake. Dessert: mint choc chip ice cream (XP), and also chilled water melon cut up in cubes (Especially if it was summer.)
Chefs play the last meal game all the time. I’d do, hella spicy chicken wings, mac and cheese, grilled asparagus, biscuit with sausage gravy and a fried egg on top. Wash it down with a bucket of ice tea/ lemonade combo.
It would be just desserts and some nice red wine for me. It would be tres leche, creme bulee, cheese cake, tiramasu, those indian honey balls and those chinese custard dumplings. Mabey a vegatable lasagna as the “savory”
I believe that the “blank” in the firing squad is only given to one member of the squad. All the others have live rounds. The psychology is that each squad member can imagine he is the one with the blank, and therefore does not have to feel guilt.
In terms of being killed instantly, sometimes that doesn’t happen and the officer on hand has to finish off the victim.
First of all, is alcohol not allowed in the last meal, cause that would definitely be part of my meal. My meal would consist of a burrito (carne asada, bacon, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo) a slice of tomato, basil ricotta pizza, cheese burger and fries and for dessert a chocolate, banana, peanut butter shake. Also, if allowed I would start my meal with a bottle of Tullamore Dew and pickle juice… cause I like to party.
Almost all states disallow the inclusion of alcohol and tobacco as part of the last meal. If you live in Oklahoma – your last meal cannot cost more than $15.
Most states have a cost limit on your “last meal” which can be as little as $15 and it has to be something easily obtainable within the immediate local area.
Sushi is my favorite food but I would be really worried they wouldn’t give me GOOD sushi. If I could specify the place it came from I would do sushi. Otherwise I would stick to cooked seafood like lobster and mussels. Also you gotta continue the ice cream trend. But it would have to be Haagendas green tea ice cream.
Love your show please keep them coming they are super entertaining. <3
I would definitely request two kilos of BBQed asparagus lightly buttered at the crown. And a gallon of water. Btw, there was a lethal injection that was botched because the person reading the labels didn’t think that prefixes and suffixes mattered when it came to chemical compunds, so they tortured the guy with the wrong stuff before they got it right later (I believe is how the story goes).
I totally think Bundy refused a last meal out of spite. His final “fuck you all” to all the law enforcement officials.
With that said, I think I would HAVE to have a piece of lasagna, calamari with some tzatziki sauce, a spicy dynamite roll and a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks (because I’m a basic bitch).
Ricky Ray Rector had an IQ of 71. Bill Clinton left the 1992 presidential campaign to oversee his execution. Ricky’s mental capacity was such that he didn’t understand death. He told his guard he wanted to save his dessert (a slice of pecan pie) for later as they were taking him to his lethal injection. Heartbreaking. I wish you had told this part of his story. Look it up and report on another episode.
OMG, I was BORN in July 1984… 0__o
So, I thought of this idea, it’s actually really easy to figure out if someone is truly mentally disabled, doesn’t know what’s right & wrong, and someone who clearly does. Just look at the rest of the person’s life, was murder & dismemberment of bodies the only thing he did that was obviously horrific, or was he also hurting people, torturing animals, stealing money, etc.? If body lifting & murder are really his only crimes, then he KNEW that the other things were wrong, therefore knew murder was WRONG…
I live in Texas. I’d be found guilty and put to death for a crime I didn’t commit. Then I’d be servered crappy prison food. Dying would be looking really good at this point. I would beg for a Coke though.
I would get a cheeseburger. A Mexican empalme which is 2 tortillas, beans on top of the tortillas with meat on top of that. .One slice of pepperoni and beef pizza. Two tacos al pastor. A coke. And Cookies and cream ice cream.
Not sure what last meal would be, but i laughed when Grace mentioned how Milk Drinkers can’t be trusted, then said She’d have a Milk shake as part of her last meal. No big deal, just a little amused. keep up the great work! :)
Also as an aside; I love Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, And My family has a story about it, My Mom and Dad used to live in Scottsdale Arizona, where i was born and during first few months my Dad had a Lawn care Company and did basic stuff like weeding, maintenance and raking rocks;
And did so for the likes of Steve Nicks (Her mom made my Boys Christening knitted gown & Her grandmother made me a full sized Camo patterned Blanket because my dad is a retired Marine)
and so as you’d expect the hot days got to him and when he got home that’s all he wanted, but my Uncle lived near by and sometimes came over to see them and loved Mint Chocolate Ice Cream too and often ate what was left at night and had to go out late to get more before my dad realized the ice cream was all gone and so growing up we always had 1 rule, Never eat dad’s ice cream. he would act like a child sometimes and declare to the house that “this is my ice cream and no one is to touch it”
I always remember laughing inside seeing my dad acting like he was as old as me and my brothers. Something about your parents showing they are no different then you and proving the saying that were all just slightly older children pretending to be adults always warmed my heart and brought joy to me.
Good episode! I would order huevos rancheros with cheesy fried potatoes, sour dough toast, and some really good coffee. Chocolate chip cookies and pistachio ice cream for dessert.
I am against the death penalty and definitely consider it murder. You should do an episode on a bunch of the innocent people who have been executed like Sacco and Vanzetti.
I wish I had a deadly food allergy. I’d keep it a secret, then order it for my last meal. Because fuck dying on someone else’s schedule. Since I don’t have any food allergies, I’d just want a rare New York strip steak, cheesecake with strawberry sauce all over it, and Dr Pepper. Kinda boring, but it’s like my treat myself meal when I can afford it (plus spiced rum, but they don’t serve alcohol to inmates. lame.)
great episode — i’m hungry now! mint choc. chip is the winner here, i’d pick it, too, along with a real, REAL vanilla bean vanilla shake. don’t forget Howard Johnson’s Fried Clams — pure heaven :-) but, really, an Oyster Loaf from Casamento’s in New Orleans, or a Debris Po’Boy from Mothers in that city, would make me very happy … until i remembered why i was eating such rarefied victuals. only condemned prisoners have the luxury of a known last meal. so for me, in the end, i love the olive. get it? “i love” = “olive” XD
This show means so much to me. I like saving up new episodes for bad days so I can escape from the regular TYT political stuff.
My last meal: Caesar salad with too many croutons, dill pickles, yam fries with chipotle mayo, minestrone soup, a slice of Panago Tropical Hawaiian pizza, beef stroganoff, cold water and an Americano coffee.
Hmmmmm… I think what I would do is see if the lawyers had left me any money at all, then beg the warden to let me buy my own ingredients and run riot in the kitchen (under strict supervision of course). If I had enough cash for it, I think it would be fun to make enough of some of my family’s special recipes that I could share my last meal with the whole prison population (maybe even the guards!). Mind you, it would probably just be cheaper to get a good lawyer and get off the charges in the first place, but sometimes you don’t get that option :P.
Probably to late for comments buuuut I would order the stuff I crave I can no longer get, like this southern coconut chicken I had in this weird hostel in berlin 8 years ago or my ex Bf mum made his amazing secret recipe sweet curry chicken, or when I lived up in the mines in the Northen terrority Aus I use to have steamed veg with wicked mushroom sauce. Also love grace is casual vegan. Me too.
For the longest time I would have said Steak ( blue rare) and Lobster, with hot butter, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn off the cob. And a Coke.
But I think now I would want a 4 course fondue meal (For anyone that’s been to a Melting Pot restaurant think that.) Cheese fondue, followed by salad, followed by main course fondue (a broth, with various meats to cook), followed by chocolate fondue…. But since it would involve a hot plate, and fondue forks, I have a feeling it wouldn’t be allowed.
I say Philly cheese steak extra cheese ketchup. steak fries gravy and cheese a baked potato butter sourcream 12 oz steak with a1 and a coca cola. my buddy said a 72 oz steak with mash potatoes gravy and corn on the cob extra butter resse peanutbutter milkshake
I think most states have a spending limit. I know in Oklahoma it’s $15, which I always thought was stingy. You can barely get a good fast food meal for that much.
My last meal would have to be a perfectly-cooked prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, chocolate shake, and a full jar of Nutella with like half a gallon of milk. I’d be spending my last night hugging the toilet, but WORTH IT.
In a execution by firing squad is the other way around: one shooter has blanks in his gun. The shooters are indeed volunteers, but only among correction officers at that prison.
I loooove this show. I also think its great for the network because most of the shows other than the main two hours are kind of just the same thing. Its a lot of politics and just old dudes (sorry Cenk) talking to each other. THIS is actually a GREAT change of pace and so well researched.

Did anyone see the smiley face in Teressa Lewis’s cup?! Weird coincidence but that kind of freaked me out, I know they’re staged but weird …

The first lethal injection was in Texas on December 7, 1982.

I was wondering the whole time why nobody did like the guy in Texas and just ordered a shit-ton of food

Amir you’re so wrong, mint chocolate chip is the only good flavor of ice cream, period.

I love the show! This episode was great! Can you do one on the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway??

If you swallow a big enough gobstopper without chewing I wonder what would happen.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is great! That makes him LESS weird, not more.
When I saw the peanut butter cups and Dr. Pepper, I thought of Cenk. He would get something close to that plus a dessert with banana in it.
That is so fucked up of Texas. Who cares if he didn’t eat it? Give it to the other prisoners on death row.
I guess they aren’t allowed alcohol. I would seriously want a beer or two.
I love this show but do not diss old school! Best show on the network

Haha “No he didn’t”
I’m with you Grace, Mint Choc. Chip is the best!
