So it’s tea time
tea time with Mokko
Just had a nice breakfast
Matthew
Yo Ratty
You know what I set up outside?
a hammock
A hammock?
Not now Ratty
Not now, right now
we have the farm thing to take care of
Yeah and then we fly the drone
Yo yo yo yo yo. We're going to the bush
Bush? And nobody has drank tea?
We are drinking tea to go to bush
Yeah but nobody drank tea
Today in the bush we'll fly the drone
Yes, it's up there they should take it and fly it
and see everything that's in the city
Everywhere, all over the town
everywhere. Morant Bay, everywhere
because when they go they say they can see all of
Morant Bay and everything out there when they're up there
from that high yeah
Yes sir
in the hot sun today
we’re not wasting time today
It’s pretty hot for me
You might be able to tell I'm sweating
and I’m drinking some
Tea What kind of tea?
something
something tea
Yeah, we call it cow foot tea
Cow foot?
Wow, it doesn’t taste like cow foot
which is good
It’s a mad tea man
Cow foot. Cow foot
or cow foot tree
cow foot tree
You know it?
Yes
Jelly [coconut] trees are there
Jelly trees are where the cow foot is
What’s cow foot good for?
Gas. Indigestion
If you use it to bathe when it’s green
it cleans everything off and makes your skin cool
It smells sweet
You can try some and take it back home
Yeah I don’t have any at home
I still have a lot of tea from the last trip
but you don't have any like that
No, nothing
Is this it here?
It's right here. That's it
Cow foot
I have a lot ot it, but
I don’t know the name so well
but don’t worry about that
tomorrow morning we’re going to
get the proper name for it
it’s got a name there man
Woah, big leaf
Ya man
So that’s it
it’s a big leaf folded up
Ya man, it's a big leaf
I folded it up like that
We dry them and use the to draw tea in the
morning time. The bag was full
So does this cow foot only grow around here too?
Does this cow foot grow around here?
One million walks
As big as from here to the river side
the whole raas [lot] of it
right around there on my farm
There on my farm
But I pick them and dry them
So when I want I can drink it regularly
I have one bag
Matthew
and I drank it down to that
Yes, I’ve never heard of that one
It’s nice
Kind of subtle, it’s not
not strong, bitter like the
cerasee
Lighter
it tastes like Winterfresh
Yeah, true
a little bit
Yeah, like Winterfresh that you put in your mouth
a little bit more subtle than the mint
Yes, sometimes you’ll get a tree of it to plant
because when you plant it in your yard
anywhere that catches, brother
even if it’s on stone, it grows like mad
Mad, it doesn’t stop growing
it doesn’t stop growing and springing suckers to rahtid
It will run wild from here all the way out there
You only need a little piece and stick it in the dirt
If you plant a piece or take up the root
and stick it somewhere in your yard, when you check it
it will be full to bloodcleet
You can use it to bathe
You can put it in your bath
It will take every rash off your body
So it’s not just to clean things off your body
you drink it into your system too
You use it outside and you use it inside
Right sir?
Right
In and out is how you program it
That’s life man, how do you mean?
They use it in and out
Ture true
Yes sir
One of those spoons is for you Sunrise
I put sugar
No, I didn’t put any in there for you
I just put it there so you can deal with the issue
I can't get you drunk
Everybody shares his own liquor
True
Good, sir. Put what you can manage
and you know, I don’t drink sweet stuff
but I like my tea sweet
a little taste-up
because right now, this one I’m drinking
it's just barely sweet
because you saw the amount of sugar I put in mine
a little sweet, just like Matthew’s tea
Yeah, a little is perfect
Sunrise, you should get a bunch of this bush man
so when the people come just dry it and put it in a zip bag
What did you say this one was named again?
What did the man tell us it was named this morning?
Where is it? Isn’t it on your phone?
Oh yeah, I have to watch the video
Oh, so you want the name
Yes
because Matthew wants the name too
Yeah I’lll watch the video again
Ya man, it’s the same thing we use at Bath
A man uses the same thing to bathe the guests
This is the one that he put on the skin also
Yeah, you rub it on the skin
Yes, that’s the one I use to bathe the lady this morning
but it was the green one and cerasee
and cerassee, and now we're drinking the dry one
and now we’re drinking the tea. They dry one
It drinks like Winterfresh
Every morning I drink it brother
Yes sir
Yard man medicene man
Ya man
Bush tea is the best thing
Most
of the young generation doesn’t want that
They'll tell you about their cocoa or Milo or coffee
I drink it every day at
home
I bring a 6-month supply when I go home
I drink cocoa too. I drink Milo-tea too
because I have one or two packs I drink in the morning time
When I’m tired of bush tea I drink Milo man
Did you have that when you were a kid here too?
What?
Milo
Milo?
Did you get it when you were a kid
or is that a newer thing?
Yeah, we got Milo
We got Milo. We got Ovaltine
We got all those things man
The only time we used to get chocolate or Milo tea
was on Sunday morning with breakfast
You’d get that with some fried dumplings, ackee and saltfish
but otherwise it was just bush tea through the whole week
Yes sir
Kids from another place see you boil bush tea
they say they won't drink that
because their tea has to be white
white and creamy while we’re drinking black tea
But I drink it sometimes
with the white milk in it too. Lasco
Ya man, sometimes
and sometimes I just have it natural
Naturally, ya man
It’s great with honey
with this tea you could tip a little honey in it
and it doesn’t take anything from it. Ya man
Man, that's when it goes to work in your body
and you don’t drink that until night
when you’re going to lie down
It’s when I’m going to lie down at night that I drink them
Got good vibes. We drink good bush
I know bush well
I know what will make you sleep
what will make you eat a lot of food
because I have a green one beside the pipe
a pretty green one you can see by the coffee
If you ever
pick that and boil a leaf of that f**k
it doesn’t matter how much you don’t want food
It makes you eat all your food
it’s trouble
Ya man “trouble deh deh”
So I know the bush
that makes people eat
Even me too
you’d go to the doctor and know that
this one will make you eat like hell
Yes sir
So they brought this this morning?
No
You went and left it?
Hear what it did?
It just got the gas off my stomach like
Ya man, I’m belching too
I want to visit 2 [water]falls next week
Some various bloodcleet
places Rasta
that people would die over
because
I don’t like how people are following me
Every video they see, they follow the river, so now
If you can’t swim to go over there
you can’t go and make
It doesn’t make sense
you can’t make any [videos] there
It’s trouble
They say how does Mokko make his videos so secretly in these places?
Where are these nice places?
Where are these falls and this river-head?
and everybody is looking
and at the same time they see Ratty too
so they must consider that it's not too far away
That’s where we shoud go
and I’ve got nice scenery again
We've got lot's of scenery in Portland
If we’re making videos we just make videos
you don’t stop at one place and make them
at night when you come home you look at them
You stop at places and make some big awesome videos
Nobody’s got anything to do with us
except to know that we’re bigging up Jamaica
Just like that
Yes sir
Who are you bigging up?
The only thing you’re bigging up is
is a big belly full
A plate of food. You've got nothing to big up
So, you know what?
if you want to make videos, stay away
because you’re not bigging up anything
it’s trouble
”Trouble deh deh” Ratty
That woman
who was here watching on the phone, Sunrise
”Who did you vote for?”
Boss
I only like this party from the day I was born
Then who is the opposition?
Boss, I don’t even know
but I just vote. I just like the party
She got brainwashed man
Then, didn’t you see the person who you marked a ballot for?
No sir, I don’t even know
but I just like the party
Another one said
From the day I was born
my family votes for the JLP man
so
I have to put my ‘X’
for the JLP
Then grandma, how does it go?
which side did you vote for?
Boy
Boy I didn't vote for either side
I stand alone
I just know that you
you can go and make a spoiled vote
because you say you stand for no side
but still you went and voted
who knows who you voted for now?
Hey
in politics
on party night
Alright, see this?
a man had on one side of green [JLP]
right? Listen now
and one side of [orange] PNP
and a bloodcleet mask
down in his face
You can’t tell
is this man a JLP or a PNP supporter?
You don’t know what because
he’s got a suit on and a mask down in his face
Yo, the place is crazy man
It’s true man, I saw him
You saw him?
Ya man
Ah f**k
Even a dog dressed up in full green
A woman had a dog on her back over her shoulders
in green and stuff
in green things on her shoulders
Ya man, it’s true
alright, so you know I saw it
Alright sir
Man, “trouble deh deh”
when they were there, another man said
Man
see when I’m done with this pot-cover
it will be useless to cover any pot
because it’s JLP all the way
he beat the pot covers
I’m glad Sunrise saw them too
because he said
man, when this is over
this won’t be able to cover any pot
I beat it so hard we have to buy a new one
because it’s JLP time
the men are hilarious to watch on your phone at politics time
That’s when I like to look at my phone
and hear people talking some serious talk
about their parties
Man said he doesn’t know who he voted for
but he just likes the party
He won’t tell you
So I said to myself
All these people
can really make a spoiled vote
and all these people
who, some of them
that are nervous
but don’t you think if somebody is nervous
he can’t vote properly
because he’ll mark foolishness
stupid things
becasue his hand trembles
so for those people
they should recommend that if your nreves are bad
you should not mark an X
because you’ll go in there and do
balafunga [total garbage]
No, we’re not politicians, but
when we look at it
we see that if you’re nervous
you’ll do the wrong thing
Tell him to drink that tea
because he used it for healing this morning
and then he’ll heal inside with that tea
