the Talkingship Mystery Solved!

At the end of Episode # 45 of Talkingship listeners heard someone knock on the door.  Then the strange visitor captured Jitterbug and Nerves before the closing song medley played.  The songs in the medley turned out to be a clue as to what had happened.
Help by the Beatles
Gone Daddy Gone by The Violent Femmes
Take Me To The River by The Commitments
Gumbo Variations by Frank Zappa

Fans of the show quickly realized that a person named Pastor Gumbo was responsible for the kidnapping.  Pastor Gumbo had sent in several threats to the show which the boys had talked about in episode # 45.  Gumbo was also was bragging on Twitter that he had “taken care” of Talkingship.  Fans soon discovered that Pastor Gumbo runs a cannibalistic church in Louisianna (www.wwzjd.info), but when the police tracked Gumbo down they found out that he had sold Jitterbug and Nerves to Kim Jong Il!

Kim Jong Il was angry with the boys for airing an embarrassing e-harmony video of his, and he wanted to exact his revenge, but when he got them to North Korea he quickly changed his mind.  Nerves was crying so much that Kim Jong Il traded him to a demented Doctor for a mint condition Castle Greyskull.  Then Jitterbug was given away to a wealthy Japanese Cowboy who agreed to pay off all of Jitterbug’s bar tab!

Nerves was taken to Coral Island where the insane Doctor Decker was genetically altering a group of captured students to turn them into re-creations of characters from the old He-Man cartoon!

Jitterbug ended up in a Sumo Training camp in Japan owned by an eccentric old man who calls himself Nashville and fancies himself a cowboy.  Jitterbug challenged Nashville to a Maraca-thon in exchange for his freedom, and of course NO ONE can beat Jitterbug in a Maraca-thon!  

Jitterbug escaped and found Nerves on Coral island by following the tips from loyal listeners who had helped discover where he was being held.  Then they made their way back home just in time for Episode # 47!
