Speaker 1: So Alexandria asked me, this is for you to robbin.
Speaker 1: Are those your real eyes? What? Okay, I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: for you all to get to know the green eye
Speaker 1: Bandit's better, okay, because we were born with these eyes absolutely.
Speaker 1: And you know what, It's so funny. When I was
Speaker 1: a little girl, I can remember people coming up to me,
Speaker 1: you know, at adults, Like I would be in the
Speaker 1: store with my mom and adults will be like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, your eyes are so pretty, and I literally
Speaker 1: honestly had no idea what they were talking about. I
Speaker 1: I did not know that my eyes were green and
Speaker 1: that my eyes look different from anyone else's. So I
Speaker 1: literally be like, like, are they talking about the shape
Speaker 1: of my eyes? You'll not have a mirror in the house. No,
Speaker 1: we did, But I didn't know that I look different,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I had no idea
Speaker 1: that because maybe because my brother has like eyes, my
Speaker 1: mom has, my grandmother has blue eyes, my cousin has
Speaker 1: blue eyes. So maybe for me, it's like, okay, everybody
Speaker 1: got light eyes, like you know, so so for me,
Speaker 1: like light eyes, green eyes was nothing special, And I
Speaker 1: never noticed that I was different because I had green
Speaker 1: eyes and it's so and it's so funny. One day
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, let me look in
Speaker 1: the mirror. Figure out what these people are talking about.
Speaker 1: This is probably last year. Okay, Robin's hilarious. So I
Speaker 1: literally stood in the mirror and was like and I looked,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, it's the color of
Speaker 1: my eye. I can't y'all. Robin Dixon is a mass Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm so dumb, y'all. I'm so dingy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so so. I'm glad you figured out. How old
Speaker 1: were you? When you figured it out? I said you
Speaker 1: had green eyes? We I mean, dingy is just for life.
Speaker 1: So um, I don't really know how old I was.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I can't put like a number on that,
Speaker 1: but I just remember being so confused. I feel like
Speaker 1: I probably was like a little girl, like five years
Speaker 1: old or something, you know what I mean. Like and
Speaker 1: I would just be like, thank you, Like what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Like, no idea, Well you know, did
Speaker 1: you know when you were five? Did you did you
Speaker 1: know you had green ups? I knew that people people
Speaker 1: cut the same thing. People come to my mom and
Speaker 1: they would they asked because I had like a dark
Speaker 1: rim around my eyes, especially at the bottom, and they
Speaker 1: would ask my mom why did she put makeup on me?
Speaker 1: And she would get mad, like, who are these white
Speaker 1: ladies talking to me about my child and thinking that
Speaker 1: I put makeup on a five year old like I
Speaker 1: did not, and that's ridiculous and why can't my child
Speaker 1: just be pretty? Right? So I knew it was something
Speaker 1: different because it was all this discussion. But it was
Speaker 1: like my sister was always like if I have an
Speaker 1: older sister who is um, always keeps it real and
Speaker 1: was always like, yeah, you're pretty, but you had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with that. That was mommy and daddy and
Speaker 1: that was their genes and UM had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with you. So, um, you know, you need to be
Speaker 1: smart and that's what you can control, but your face
Speaker 1: and you had nothing to do with that. It's gonna
Speaker 1: even get too excited, I said, we God, damn no,
Speaker 1: that was Mama and Papa Graves. Ship. Well, let me
Speaker 1: just stay in the bed today. Good God. Anyway, thank
Speaker 1: god I have thick skin. All right, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: take one more of what you guys asked before we
Speaker 1: wrap up. Okay, so how do your boys handle filming
Speaker 1: now that they have done it for a while and
Speaker 1: they're getting older. Good ask a good question. So I
Speaker 1: have to pay my children to go to work. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So okay, I'm gonna stop you right there. Okay. So
Speaker 1: Robert and I had this discussion prior to us filming.
Speaker 1: I think see this past season season six, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, the girls have given me
Speaker 1: a hard time about filming, and Robin was saying the
Speaker 1: same thing about her kids. So she was like, Giselle,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay them, and I was like, what, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. That's a good idea. And in that way,
Speaker 1: they'll feel a sense of ownership they have a job. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm literally like, all y'all, you'll have to work today.
Speaker 1: It's time to go to work. And so now like
Speaker 1: when they aren't going to work, they're like, when do
Speaker 1: I go to work next? Because they want you pay
Speaker 1: them like an hourly rate. I pay them and this
Speaker 1: is the other thing I pay them according to the
Speaker 1: scene and how well they did my god, Robert producer,
Speaker 1: Now what I mean by like how well they like
Speaker 1: DoD they behave or where they like being difficult? Or
Speaker 1: because that's the other thing. They get in front of
Speaker 1: the camera and they act like they have no sense
Speaker 1: and they want to give me the hardest time, and
Speaker 1: they like, you know, they just they roll along the floor.
Speaker 1: When I'm trying to have a conversation. I'm like, y'all
Speaker 1: are killing me right now. And I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 1: don't want to look crazy and where I'm like yelling
Speaker 1: at my kids and stuff, so I'm just gonna let
Speaker 1: you all just do whatever. But they'll literally be like,
Speaker 1: you know, hiding under a blanket and and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: like y'all cut it out. So they get paid based
Speaker 1: on you know, how long of a period of time
Speaker 1: and how well they performed. Wow, Wow, that that's okay.
Speaker 1: So it's this like ten dollars an hour, twenty dollars
Speaker 1: an hour, So I've paid them anywhere between, like so
Speaker 1: it's per scene, right, So I paid them, I want
Speaker 1: to say, anywhere between like ten to thirty dollars. It's
Speaker 1: nice depending on like what it was, like how how
Speaker 1: much they did or like what you know what I mean. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that. Yes, I actually told my girls, um
Speaker 1: the same thing. I was like, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: guys an hourly rate. Right. So we had our first
Speaker 1: scene season six and we were done with it and
Speaker 1: I was like at the end of it, I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, guys, I'm gonna give you y'all y'all's earnings
Speaker 1: and they were like, no, Mom, it's fine, we just
Speaker 1: want like they literally would not take money. They were like,
Speaker 1: it's fine, you know, we're here for you, like they were.
Speaker 1: They shocked me, And I think it's a difference between
Speaker 1: girls and boys. They shocked me. They were just we're
Speaker 1: just here for you, like whatever, it's fine. And I
Speaker 1: think it's also like they're teenagers, so they're probably actually
Speaker 1: enjoying like the show now, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like now it's like, okay, we're actually a little popular.
Speaker 1: People know who we are. My kids are boys and
Speaker 1: like their friends, like they get sick of their friends
Speaker 1: because their friends. Mom was watched the show to come,
Speaker 1: you know, come telling them about themselves and showed it
Speaker 1: like oh my god. So that that really shocked me.
Speaker 1: And because they that was so sweet at themselves and
Speaker 1: you never paid them, no, I mean, I've given them
Speaker 1: whatever they want. Of course, they get paid in other ways. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, so this is my last one. So because
Speaker 1: this is really sweet, So Kelly says to me, I
Speaker 1: love your spirit. How do you keep it up when
Speaker 1: things get tough? Because you know, things always get tough,
Speaker 1: and my mom always told me that when that, when
Speaker 1: things get tough, make sure you wear your lipstick. They
Speaker 1: keep your lips popping. So I always live g loss
Speaker 1: with me. As long as my lips are popping, I
Speaker 1: feel good about myself. Okay, yeah, alright, well I love that.
Speaker 1: I mean that's not my solution. I don't think, yes
Speaker 1: that it just makes you know, if your lips are
Speaker 1: popping and you feel good and and you know you
Speaker 1: got a little yellow shine on the lips, there's no
Speaker 1: way you can have a bad day. Right, That's that's
Speaker 1: very true. And to piggyback off of that in closing, um,
Speaker 1: I want to leave you know everyone, I think we
Speaker 1: wanna we gotta start giving some motivational Yes, we do
Speaker 1: kind of messages we do, so we want to motivate people. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: so I actually shared this on my Instagram story. But
Speaker 1: I want to reiterate two traps you need to avoid
Speaker 1: because I'm very good at this. Avoid caring what they
Speaker 1: think and avoid thinking that they care. So I feel
Speaker 1: like that's the solution to, like, Okay, when things are
Speaker 1: going wrong or when we gotta read the second one again.
Speaker 1: I was confused on the second Okay, thinking that they care. Okay,
Speaker 1: like that so avoid stops like, don't even think that
Speaker 1: they care that they care. Okay, I got it right,
Speaker 1: because because I find a lot of times when you're
Speaker 1: like beefing with someone or like you have a you know,
Speaker 1: falling out with someone and you're sitting at home and
Speaker 1: you're like thinking about it all the time and you're
Speaker 1: mad and angry that person ain't think about you. They're
Speaker 1: going about you. They're going to live their life, they
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like you're sitting here giving them
Speaker 1: all of your energy and they over there you know,
Speaker 1: yeah the cheesecake factory eating exactly exactly. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: so so let's let's stop caring what people think or
Speaker 1: thinking that anyone cares. And that's like I feel like
Speaker 1: that's a solution to, like when you do have issues
Speaker 1: and problems, like just you know, face some head on,
Speaker 1: like don't be embarrassed, no, you know, just go through
Speaker 1: your struggles and and do what's best for you, and
Speaker 1: don't worry about what anybody thinks. No, because guess what,
Speaker 1: it don't matter. It don't matter. We hope you enjoyed
