1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: So Alexandria asked me, this is for you to robbin.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Are those your real eyes? What? Okay, I'm gonna need

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: for you all to get to know the green eye

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Bandit's better, okay, because we were born with these eyes absolutely.

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, It's so funny. When I was

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: a little girl, I can remember people coming up to me,

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, at adults, Like I would be in the

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: store with my mom and adults will be like, oh

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: my gosh, your eyes are so pretty, and I literally

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: honestly had no idea what they were talking about. I

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: I did not know that my eyes were green and

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: that my eyes look different from anyone else's. So I

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: literally be like, like, are they talking about the shape

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: of my eyes? You'll not have a mirror in the house. No,

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: we did, But I didn't know that I look different,

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I had no idea

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: that because maybe because my brother has like eyes, my

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: mom has, my grandmother has blue eyes, my cousin has

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: blue eyes. So maybe for me, it's like, okay, everybody

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: got light eyes, like you know, so so for me,

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: like light eyes, green eyes was nothing special, And I

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: never noticed that I was different because I had green

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: eyes and it's so and it's so funny. One day

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, let me look in

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the mirror. Figure out what these people are talking about.

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: This is probably last year. Okay, Robin's hilarious. So I

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: literally stood in the mirror and was like and I looked,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, it's the color of

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: my eye. I can't y'all. Robin Dixon is a mass Okay,

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm so dumb, y'all. I'm so dingy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm so so. I'm glad you figured out. How old

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: were you? When you figured it out? I said you

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 1: had green eyes? We I mean, dingy is just for life.

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: So um, I don't really know how old I was.

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I can't put like a number on that,

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: but I just remember being so confused. I feel like

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: I probably was like a little girl, like five years

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: old or something, you know what I mean. Like and

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I would just be like, thank you, Like what are

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: you talking about? Like, no idea, Well you know, did

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: you know when you were five? Did you did you

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: know you had green ups? I knew that people people

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: cut the same thing. People come to my mom and

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: they would they asked because I had like a dark

45
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: rim around my eyes, especially at the bottom, and they

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: would ask my mom why did she put makeup on me?

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: And she would get mad, like, who are these white

48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: ladies talking to me about my child and thinking that

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: I put makeup on a five year old like I

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: did not, and that's ridiculous and why can't my child

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: just be pretty? Right? So I knew it was something

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: different because it was all this discussion. But it was

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: like my sister was always like if I have an

54
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: older sister who is um, always keeps it real and

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: was always like, yeah, you're pretty, but you had nothing

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: to do with that. That was mommy and daddy and

57
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: that was their genes and UM had nothing to do

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: with you. So, um, you know, you need to be

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: smart and that's what you can control, but your face

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and you had nothing to do with that. It's gonna

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: even get too excited, I said, we God, damn no,

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: that was Mama and Papa Graves. Ship. Well, let me

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: just stay in the bed today. Good God. Anyway, thank

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: god I have thick skin. All right, So we're gonna

65
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: take one more of what you guys asked before we

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: wrap up. Okay, so how do your boys handle filming

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: now that they have done it for a while and

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: they're getting older. Good ask a good question. So I

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: have to pay my children to go to work. Okay, okay,

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: So okay, I'm gonna stop you right there. Okay. So

71
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: Robert and I had this discussion prior to us filming.

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I think see this past season season six, and I

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, the girls have given me

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: a hard time about filming, and Robin was saying the

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: same thing about her kids. So she was like, Giselle,

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay them, and I was like, what, Oh

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: my god. That's a good idea. And in that way,

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: they'll feel a sense of ownership they have a job. Yeah.

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm literally like, all y'all, you'll have to work today.

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: It's time to go to work. And so now like

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: when they aren't going to work, they're like, when do

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: I go to work next? Because they want you pay

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: them like an hourly rate. I pay them and this

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: is the other thing I pay them according to the

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: scene and how well they did my god, Robert producer,

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: Now what I mean by like how well they like

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: DoD they behave or where they like being difficult? Or

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: because that's the other thing. They get in front of

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: the camera and they act like they have no sense

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and they want to give me the hardest time, and

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: they like, you know, they just they roll along the floor.

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: When I'm trying to have a conversation. I'm like, y'all

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: are killing me right now. And I'm like, okay, I

94
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: don't want to look crazy and where I'm like yelling

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: at my kids and stuff, so I'm just gonna let

96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: you all just do whatever. But they'll literally be like,

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, hiding under a blanket and and I'm like, okay,

98
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: like y'all cut it out. So they get paid based

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: on you know, how long of a period of time

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: and how well they performed. Wow, Wow, that that's okay.

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: So it's this like ten dollars an hour, twenty dollars

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: an hour, So I've paid them anywhere between, like so

103
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: it's per scene, right, So I paid them, I want

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: to say, anywhere between like ten to thirty dollars. It's

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: nice depending on like what it was, like how how

106
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: much they did or like what you know what I mean. Okay,

107
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: I like that. Yes, I actually told my girls, um

108
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was like, I'm gonna give you

109
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: guys an hourly rate. Right. So we had our first

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: scene season six and we were done with it and

111
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I was like at the end of it, I was like,

112
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: all right, guys, I'm gonna give you y'all y'all's earnings

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: and they were like, no, Mom, it's fine, we just

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: want like they literally would not take money. They were like,

115
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: it's fine, you know, we're here for you, like they were.

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: They shocked me, And I think it's a difference between

117
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: girls and boys. They shocked me. They were just we're

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: just here for you, like whatever, it's fine. And I

119
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: think it's also like they're teenagers, so they're probably actually

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: enjoying like the show now, you know what I'm saying,

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Like now it's like, okay, we're actually a little popular.

122
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: People know who we are. My kids are boys and

123
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: like their friends, like they get sick of their friends

124
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: because their friends. Mom was watched the show to come,

125
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, come telling them about themselves and showed it

126
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: like oh my god. So that that really shocked me.

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: And because they that was so sweet at themselves and

128
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: you never paid them, no, I mean, I've given them

129
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: whatever they want. Of course, they get paid in other ways. Yes,

130
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: all right, so this is my last one. So because

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: this is really sweet, So Kelly says to me, I

132
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: love your spirit. How do you keep it up when

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: things get tough? Because you know, things always get tough,

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: and my mom always told me that when that, when

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: things get tough, make sure you wear your lipstick. They

136
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: keep your lips popping. So I always live g loss

137
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: with me. As long as my lips are popping, I

138
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: feel good about myself. Okay, yeah, alright, well I love that.

139
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's not my solution. I don't think, yes

140
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: that it just makes you know, if your lips are

141
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: popping and you feel good and and you know you

142
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: got a little yellow shine on the lips, there's no

143
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: way you can have a bad day. Right, That's that's

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: very true. And to piggyback off of that in closing, um,

145
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I want to leave you know everyone, I think we

146
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: wanna we gotta start giving some motivational Yes, we do

147
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: kind of messages we do, so we want to motivate people. Yes, yes, yes,

148
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: so I actually shared this on my Instagram story. But

149
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I want to reiterate two traps you need to avoid

150
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: because I'm very good at this. Avoid caring what they

151
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: think and avoid thinking that they care. So I feel

152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: like that's the solution to, like, Okay, when things are

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
