Author: Bates Podcast

In this episode of Yes Mother, Emily and Sue discuss the amazing, mid-season episode that is The Deal. In The Deal, we find Norma finally having the people of White Pine Bay by the short hairs! So grab Romero, and let the negotiations begin! Oh also- Dylan and Norman really think that Norma needs to let Caleb have a chance to say he is sorry for incestual rape. How did that go boys? Right. Good plans all around. Also we get an epic Chick sighting. White Pine Bay rules!

In the podcast episode, Em and Sue discuss the finer points through the feedback, then go into an episode discussion. At the end, we have an extra long spoiler section in which we discuss the Q & A Carlton Cuse did with the fans. It’s in the spoiler section because he drops a few hints on what may be coming, so only the most sensitive to spoilers really need stay away. At the very end, you get a taste of what it’s like recording a podcast during spring break.

In the 4th episode of this season’s Bates Motel, frankly- we seem to learn a little more about some characters then we wished to know. Too much about Norman’s quest to make his girlfriend jealous -and we don’t mean Emma- (and while we’re at it: too much about his horrible sandwich making habits!). Too much about Bob Paris and his regard of hookers, and TOO MUCH about Caleb’s feelings about his sister! Despite the over sharing- it was an enjoyable episode (and one Emily didn’t realize was so funny until she recorded a podcast about it with her sister).

Join Em and Sue as we laugh our way through breaking this unbreakable episode down! (While I’m at it: why oh why did Caleb prove to be unbreakable??? He’s alive- dammit!)

Well, episode 3 aired this week and it didn’t disappoint (well, it disappointed Sue a little since Chick was absent).  Other than that- we had some great stuff: Norma in a morgue, capers with pot plants, hulkified bed lifting and a few plot twists we didn’t see coming.  Not to mention Norman’s head mama made an appearance.  Join Em and Sue as we (hurriedly) try to make sense of the season so far.

Just so you all know: this is the podcast that almost never was.  Emily is putting on a gigantic function this week (almost over- tomorrow night!) so she had very limited time- but who could brush off Bates Motel and this podcast?, THEN the recording mysteriously stopped 30 minutes in- but no fear Sue hopefully recorded a back up.  Yep she did, but her computer won’t let the file open.  Sue pulled off a miracle while Em was too busy to help her or answer her questions and got it and sent it over.  Anyway- here it is… I’m happy to be able to present it to you this week albeit a little late.  (It would have been later -like sunday- but I sprained my ankle today and got out of a mid day appointment and viola!  Editing time!  Now that you know our life story– enjoy the podcast :).

In this episode, Norma gets worried that her guest in #4 is MIA *Norman!*, Romero moves out of the motel *boo* (resulting in the most gloriously awkward moment EVER), Norman and Emma go out on their first date *shudder*, Caleb shoots a dog *idiot* and Norma gets sneaky in a formal *ecstatic*. Oh and loses it on the bypass sign as only Norma can. In other words this episode was fantastic! Or so WE thought…

Join Em and Sue as we break this episode down, come up with some theories and try to explain away what is going on in Norman’s head. We also laugh, have some good times, read listener feedback, check in some new guests, wash some towel, drills some peepholes….it’s all a good time.

Bates Motel is back and so are we!  It’s good to be back to White Pine Bay, even if our recent audio troubles followed us here*.  Dylan’s back in the house, Norman and Norma are spooning, Emma’s at the front desk, all seems right with the world.  Psycho world, that is.  Crazy things are being set up for what will hopefully be the best season yet!  Join Em and Sue as we recap the episode, go over our guest book reservations, open up a new B & B (it’s not weird), and read your feedback!

*I am almost 100% certain I have figured out the problem and can now avoid it, so sorry again- let it never happen again!  MOSE! OLAF?
