Jeffrey HessHOST
I mean, like she walks out of the store and this dude's like, that's her right there.
Jeffrey HessHOST
And he says, I'm going to take you to see Baron Samedi.
Jeffrey HessHOST
And as the baddies drive away, they throw like a doll onto the street, you know, as a message, as a threat.
Jeffrey HessHOST
So Denise and Mac try to talk to the cops, but basically everyone in the community is refusing to say anything.
9 MINS LATER
Jeffrey HessHOST
So like Mama Lorraine distracts a guy and Mac sneaks into this like the sewers of whatever are in this power station where they're holding this thing or whatever is going on.
Jeffrey HessHOST
They creep around the voodoo temple and find the gathering of Mac and Mama Lorraine head inside.
Jeffrey HessHOST
And out onto stage comes Colonel Devereaux giving a lively voodoo performance in what I quote as the classic voodoo face paint as Baron Samedi, all white.
Jeffrey HessHOST
Black eyes, black, like, big mouth and lips.
Sean RobertHOST
She would have gone on this journey.
Sean RobertHOST
You may not have seen the full meeting of her and Baron Samedi or something.
Sean RobertHOST
And they might have been showing you in flashback later.
Sean RobertHOST
But she's always there when something happens to these mobsters.
5 MINS LATER
Pax HollyHOST
And that's who Diana Hill comes to.
Pax HollyHOST
And she's she's pretty cool.
Pax HollyHOST
Like she comes she's the one that summons Baron Samedi in the forest.
Pax HollyHOST
And like, I don't know, she like I wish she got a lot more play.
Chuck BryantHOST
That's a good point.
Josh ClarkHOST
Baron Samedi, who I had not heard the name of.
Josh ClarkHOST
But once I read the description
Chuck BryantHOST
of him, I'm like,
Josh ClarkHOST
Yeah.
Chuck BryantHOST
Yeah.
Josh ClarkHOST
But Baron Samedi, he's depicted as often like a skeletal figure.
Josh ClarkHOST
Yeah.
Marcus SpellerHOST
All right.
Marcus SpellerHOST
And who's Baron Samedi? Who can't we kill? Who the
Pete DonaldsonHOST
hell is Baron Samedi? What kind of name is that?
Marcus SpellerHOST
Honestly, Peter.
Pete DonaldsonHOST
I hear these terms and I'm like, I never really sort of...
Pete DonaldsonHOST
Oh, it's James Bond thing.
Pete DonaldsonHOST
Baron Samedi.
Marcus SpellerHOST
You Google everything.
HarryHOST
What a strange thing to do.
HarryHOST
Papa Doc Duvalier, president of Haiti in the 1960s, here he is there in 1957, was a voodoo hungan priest, this was the president, and used to do radio broadcasts to his nation affecting a nasal accent claiming he was channeling Baron Samedi.
HarryHOST
Samedi Saturday.
HarryHOST
At one point Clement Barbeau, the head of Duvalier's secret police, turned against him and had to go into hiding.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
It's called a metet.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
And it's Who is the guardian and ruler over you? And mine turned out to be Baron Samedi, who is, of course, the law of death.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
But I just want to go on record here.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
I have to say this.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
Sorry.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
Baron Samedi is not just the ruler of death.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
He's also the ruler of life.
Samantha CorfieldGUEST
In Haiti, pregnant women go and try to get their bellies blessed by the baron because they want a successful pregnancy, successful delivery, which doesn't always happen there.
MicahHOST
Can Coleman Domingo dance? Probably.
MicahHOST
I feel like he could be a Baron Samedi.
BradHOST
Okay, yeah, I can see that.
MicahHOST
So he's got to be either one of those two.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
There's also the Gede nation, the spirits of death, fertility, and regeneration.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
The Baron Samedi is probably the most famous Lwa in this nation, commonly depicted as a fancy skeletal man dressed in a top hat and a coat with tails.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
The Baron is the lord of the cemetery, also the lord of the dead, and his assistants are the irreverent Gede spirits.
Kyrah Malika DanielsGUEST
But there are in fact said to be 21 nations.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
These Fèt or Fiestas or parties for the spirits invite the presence of the Lwa through singing, drumming, dancing, and offering the spirits their favorite food and drink.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Generally speaking, practitioners wear white for the spirits, but this can change based on the Lwa being honored.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
For example, for those attending the November party honoring the Baron Samedi and his gadê, you usually dress in the colors black and purple and offer him spicy rum.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Moreover, the dances and rhythms change depending on the spirit.

6 MINS LATER
Jeff MarkinHOST
They approach an altar with three swords crossed and embedded into the top.
Jeff MarkinHOST
"Kneel," commands Mama Maitresse.
Jeff MarkinHOST
And Sugar kneels before the altar, and then Mama Maitresse summons Baron Samedi, Keeper of the Dead, King of the Graveyards.
Cheryl LightfootHOST
Well, she tries, 'cause there's no answer at first.
Rory O'Neill SchmittGUEST
And the voodoo dolls, uh, that are authentic are actually devoted to these different saints.
Rory O'Neill SchmittGUEST
So I have a doll that's Baron Samedi, who's the guardian of the ancestors.
Rory O'Neill SchmittGUEST
He's leader of the Ghede, and he's the protector of the grave, and he's also the Lwa of death and sexuality, which I thought was very interesting, like these kind of [laughs] uh, uh, synchronicity that, uh, the one voodoo ritual I, I go to, I just happen to already have that particular voodoo doll.
Rory O'Neill SchmittGUEST
So I felt like maybe he was, he was with me.
