The Goods from the Woods - Episode #288 – “The Kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr.” with Robert Yasumura
In this episode, Rivers takes Carter, Sam, and special guest comedian Robert Yasumura along for a deep dive into one of the weirdest and most insane stories in American History: The 1963 Kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr.! On December 8, 1963, 19 year-old Frank Sinatra Jr. was sitting in his hotel room eating a chicken when, suddenly, two of the most amateur criminals you can imagine burst in the room with guns and took him prisoner for 2 days. The story of Junior's kidnapping and that of the kidnappers themselves is basically the best Coen Brothers movie the Coen Brothers never made. Everyone involved in the crime is incompetent and the whole thing is completely ridiculous and hilarious and we are pleased as punch to share this story with you.
