2:50
Speaker 1: there and I and I always saw a talented young
2:54
Speaker 1: lady and you're still a talented young lady. And then
2:58
Speaker 1: and then uh, because she's just got singing, Rasha, you
3:02
Speaker 1: were so encouraging back there. I was, um, I was
3:06
Speaker 1: a personal assistant, and I just watched your expertise and
3:11
Speaker 1: just watched how you handled all of the business or
3:15
Speaker 1: handled the business. And I was inspired. And I knew
3:18
Speaker 1: that I, you know, had an inkling for acting, but
3:21
Speaker 1: I had had been burnt so much and I just
3:24
Speaker 1: got out of the business and I just said, you
3:26
Speaker 1: know what, this is not for me. Let me just
3:28
Speaker 1: assist some people. And that's that I went over there.
3:31
Speaker 1: I started working at Wendy rock Hill's school, Amazing Grace
3:34
Speaker 1: Conservatory in California, and and I was a personal assistant
3:38
Speaker 1: for Mr Harvey and Mrs Harvey and um, and I
3:42
Speaker 1: just had a great time doing that. I was the
3:45
Speaker 1: minister of music at my church and I just said,
3:47
Speaker 1: this is where I'm going to be for the rest.
3:50
Speaker 1: And then I went to Winston Salem, North Carolina, and
3:55
Speaker 1: and I was doing a favor for somebody. I was
3:57
Speaker 1: in a place for about ten minutes and Mr Perry
3:59
Speaker 1: was there, and that man came through and I was
4:02
Speaker 1: just like, what a man is a dress? Now I'm good.
4:05
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay all over here with Steve. Now
4:07
Speaker 1: I'm good. Thank you though Mr Perry, and he was like, no,
4:10
Speaker 1: I really want you to be a partner of it.
4:11
Speaker 1: I enjoyed your performance. And I said okay. And then
4:14
Speaker 1: one of my preacher friends intervened and said, a food,
4:17
Speaker 1: that man is calling you and you're not gonna go out.
4:19
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, I'm good. She said, hey,
4:22
Speaker 1: you're for a miss God. I called Mr Perry in
4:24
Speaker 1: two thousand four, Rashawn, and I've been rolling with that
4:27
Speaker 1: man ever since. When I tell you he is a quickening,
4:30
Speaker 1: That's what I referred to him. Man, He's a quickening.
4:33
Speaker 1: And that is just simply when you are dead and lying,
4:36
Speaker 1: dormant and you need something to just jolt you and
4:39
Speaker 1: bring you back to life. That is what Tyler Parry
4:42
Speaker 1: did for me. And he just really reinfirmed and reinstated
4:46
Speaker 1: my whole belief in acting and performing and being before people.
4:51
Speaker 1: And I knew I had a gift, you know, to
4:54
Speaker 1: be before people only because I didn't need, uh, the accolades,
4:59
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't need and want to glorify me.
5:01
Speaker 1: I just really like doing what I'm doing and I
5:03
Speaker 1: like making people laugh and I love having fun. And
5:07
Speaker 1: Mr Parry just came in right on time because just
5:10
Speaker 1: he's just awesome and so I had a great time.

7:22
Speaker 1: And I'm in an airport right now because we're on
7:26
Speaker 1: tour with Tyler's Farewell but Dia played tour and I'm
7:31
Speaker 1: going from Columbia, South Carolina to Memphis, Tennessee. And you
7:34
Speaker 1: know about Memphis, that's like ab I'm a suburb of
7:37
Speaker 1: suburb of how He's a suburb suburb of Memphis, Tennessee,
7:43
Speaker 1: The booming metropolis of Holly Springs Mississippi until I'm on
7:47
Speaker 1: my way home to be with my people, and I'm
7:50
Speaker 1: excited with Sean. It's just good. Yeah, because of the
7:54
Speaker 1: fact that when you when you talk about live stage,
7:58
Speaker 1: that's what you're on, a live stage tour. And then
8:00
Speaker 1: you've done television and you've done many films. What you
8:04
Speaker 1: like the most because you're a comedian. You're a comedian
8:06
Speaker 1: now d and at hard you are a singing comedian.
8:11
Speaker 1: Thank you give me a definition of this thing called life.
8:14
Speaker 1: I don't know, Rachel. I'll let me tell you. I
8:17
Speaker 1: enjoy each medium. I really do. Live theater, there's nothing
8:22
Speaker 1: better than just you know. You know what's amazing to
8:25
Speaker 1: me is that these theaters, ten thousand people in one setting,
8:29
Speaker 1: all strangers, not knowing each other, but they're laughing at
8:32
Speaker 1: the same time, um, crying at the same time, and
8:37
Speaker 1: they're enjoying Medea, they enjoyed Tyliperia. They're coming out because
8:41
Speaker 1: of Tylip Area. Now my job to me is its
8:44
Speaker 1: Mr Perious pleased, and I've done my job. But when
8:47
Speaker 1: those people come out and I have to come out
8:50
Speaker 1: for a curtain call, and they're they're rooting and cheering
8:53
Speaker 1: and screaming and clapping for me, it is just um
8:58
Speaker 1: unbelievable because you know, Sean, you know, I don't have
9:02
Speaker 1: any acting classes. I've never had it, and you know,
9:04
Speaker 1: and I don't have that agent and manager. So I
9:07
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like I'm an illegitimate actress or actor.
9:12
Speaker 1: But I still serve the same God that that just
9:15
Speaker 1: surpasses all of the norms and all of the things
9:18
Speaker 1: that are natural or supposed to be done. But he
9:21
Speaker 1: I like my testimony, so um, it's to be eased
9:28
Speaker 1: to is it really really really is? And you say
9:32
Speaker 1: I'm famous, and and sometimes I sometimes I believe it
9:35
Speaker 1: because um, just because of all the people that that
9:40
Speaker 1: greet me, you know, and they're just like, is that
9:42
Speaker 1: you do? You know who you are? And I'm just like, no,
9:45
Speaker 1: well you know what I do, but I don't think
9:48
Speaker 1: you do. Sometimes. The funny point about about you is
9:51
Speaker 1: that because she's so humble, she really really is so humble,
9:56
Speaker 1: and so if she so when she walks in a
9:59
Speaker 1: certain people, for I'll tell you, when you start talking
10:01
Speaker 1: about her resume, let's start power tied to it, that's
10:04
Speaker 1: recognition tied to it. So what happens is when people
10:07
Speaker 1: walk up to her she's so humble. You question, that's
10:11
Speaker 1: the star. You go, nah, now she'd be acting a
10:14
Speaker 1: little bit different. What the what the bodyguards all? That
10:18
Speaker 1: can't be herd sitting over there in that chair by herself,
10:21
Speaker 1: that can't be her. A chick filate. I can't believe
10:24
Speaker 1: that's her. And so that's what that's what people are.
10:28
Speaker 1: Because of the fact that so they come over to it,
10:30
Speaker 1: they go, are you? They always they would lean to
10:32
Speaker 1: the right, Are you who you do? You know who
10:35
Speaker 1: you remind me of? And I just said to I
10:38
Speaker 1: really do you like her? Yeah? We love her? Oh well,
10:43
Speaker 1: then this is a compliment here you know that's me.
10:47
Speaker 1: You don't out of here, you know that's me. And
10:50
Speaker 1: so it's really a beautiful, beautiful writing. I get to meet.
10:53
Speaker 1: Oh but with television and movies, um, you know, those
10:58
Speaker 1: things go way way way across the seeds. And to
11:01
Speaker 1: be in Jamaica somewhere trying to have a vacation and
11:04
Speaker 1: and there are people with those beautiful accents saying, oh
11:07
Speaker 1: they good. I don't make me. I can't do the
11:09
Speaker 1: access right. How about to mess up you know from
11:13
Speaker 1: missing so but they but they're so excited. Rashan and
11:18
Speaker 1: and their their messages that Mr Perry um gives it
11:22
Speaker 1: that that blesses people's lives and continues to motivate people
11:27
Speaker 1: and keep them dreaming and you know, keep them full
11:30
Speaker 1: of life. And you know sometimes people come up and say,
11:32
Speaker 1: my grandmother used to watch you and um and I
11:36
Speaker 1: just watched how much joy you guys brought her. And
11:39
Speaker 1: some of them have passed away. And then it's just
11:41
Speaker 1: I mean, like we had to make a wish. Young
11:43
Speaker 1: lady come out and she knew all of our lives.
11:45
Speaker 1: She couldn't really talk very well, but you know, she
11:49
Speaker 1: was standing there in front of me and talking and saying,
11:51
Speaker 1: I'm bamn, I know your lives and I know this
11:54
Speaker 1: and that, and they're repeating those things and that stuff. Man,
11:58
Speaker 1: you can't buy that. It's just a beautiful moment. It's
12:01
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful thing to be a part of. And
12:03
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm great, I'm grateful, gracious to for everything
12:08
Speaker 1: that for the whole journey. Well, we got on the phone.
12:11
Speaker 1: Here's Cassie Davis Patton. You know I got to get
12:14
Speaker 1: that in now because she made a change, because you
12:17
Speaker 1: don't have certain because she don't have social media, so
12:21
Speaker 1: she can't make announcements like everybody else social media. Everybody
12:24
Speaker 1: would have known, but we should have to find out
12:27
Speaker 1: on his show live and in person. We're gonna be
12:29
Speaker 1: right back because I really want to break down. Uh,
12:32
Speaker 1: this is the fining stallmon of Tyler Perry's madea family
12:35
Speaker 1: Funeral coming out March first shot right here in Georgia. Ah,
12:42
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, Cassie Davis's Patton in seventeen. She changed
12:47
Speaker 1: her name for good reason. She's married. She's married to
12:51
Speaker 1: a young man's childhood because childhood friend. And somebody said,
12:58
Speaker 1: you know, I ways tell people look act Sometimes you
13:00
Speaker 1: look back and you look next to you look right left,
13:02
Speaker 1: that's the person you're supposed to be with. So many
13:04
Speaker 1: people looking too far away and don't see who they're
13:06
Speaker 1: supposed to be with. But Holly Sprains, Mississippi, it's the
13:10
Speaker 1: person she's with. Now, you got a movie coming out,
13:15
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry. Now. Now in the in the notes they
13:17
Speaker 1: say right here that Tyler Perry does not die in
13:21
Speaker 1: this movie. Correct the character Medea, That is correct. The
13:27
Speaker 1: funeral is not Medea's funeral, right, because I want to
13:31
Speaker 1: make sure it's a feral, so give us a little
13:34
Speaker 1: short synopsis old on this whole thing, because look, let
13:37
Speaker 1: me just let me just say this. You are a
13:39
Speaker 1: character that has been developed in this series, so we
13:43
Speaker 1: got a sense of walking in when you come on screen.
13:46
Speaker 1: Who you are? Correct? Okay? Cool? So when when the
13:50
Speaker 1: scripts come to you or do they allow you to
13:53
Speaker 1: make any adjustments to it? Just say, hey, can I
13:56
Speaker 1: say it this way? How much flexibility do you have
13:59
Speaker 1: in the script with your care You have to be
14:02
Speaker 1: honest with you because I've worked with Tyler for over
14:05
Speaker 1: fifteen years. He really does trust me as um an
14:11
Speaker 1: actor who will um approach his peace with integrity. But
14:17
Speaker 1: usually his his writing is already there, and he writes
14:21
Speaker 1: because he knows what I will say, but because you know,
14:25
Speaker 1: he has so many other projects on the table. Sometimes
14:28
Speaker 1: I will say, well, Mr Barry, do you mind if
14:31
Speaker 1: I try this or if I ever try this? And
14:34
Speaker 1: if it works for him then he will allow it.
14:37
Speaker 1: But if it doesn't, it's sign um you know it doesn't.
14:40
Speaker 1: Sometimes he'll say, oh, Cassie, you do you do you
14:43
Speaker 1: remember two years ago when you said blah blah blah
14:45
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, could you try that again? Yes? Sir,
14:47
Speaker 1: I sure can. So he gives me liberty, but it's
14:50
Speaker 1: still his work. So um, I approach it as such.
14:54
Speaker 1: I don't try to get in there and just do
14:56
Speaker 1: my own group. Do you know, I'm funny Tyler, and
14:59
Speaker 1: you know I'm this. You know I'm no no, no,
15:01
Speaker 1: no no. This is the Sand's work. And um, and
15:04
Speaker 1: the only way you prosper in your own group is
15:07
Speaker 1: to make sure that you take care of another man's stuff.
15:10
Speaker 1: So that's what I do. I go in. I approach
15:12
Speaker 1: it very humbly, as you said. And um sometimes I
15:16
Speaker 1: can slip a little joke in and he'll say, oh
15:18
Speaker 1: my god, well let's keep that. That's funny. Okay, let's
15:21
Speaker 1: keep that, and so um, I really do try to
15:24
Speaker 1: do what he pens. Well, you know, I'm just day
15:27
Speaker 1: some funeral. Now. Well in the history, you know, just
15:31
Speaker 1: a black film. We all know they can be long winded,
15:34
Speaker 1: they could be uh when they've done right comedically, they
15:37
Speaker 1: could be historical. Just tell us how it leads up
15:40
Speaker 1: to this? What was the what's the what's the storyline
15:43
Speaker 1: that runs through this movie? Medea, the storyline that runs
15:49
Speaker 1: through this whole movie. It's Media's family member, and um,
15:54
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away, Rashwan, but okay, cool, No,
15:57
Speaker 1: we just someone someone some dies in her family and um,
16:04
Speaker 1: and it's and Medea has to eventually conduct the funeral,
16:09
Speaker 1: which is a less but it's just it's but it's
16:13
Speaker 1: heart felt and it's indicative of that funeral thing. You
16:18
Speaker 1: know how sometimes some funerals are so sad. All of
16:22
Speaker 1: them really are sad to somebody, but there's always that
16:25
Speaker 1: one something that's just like, why did you do that?
16:28
Speaker 1: Or why did somebody do that? So I think Mr
16:31
Speaker 1: Perry was just trying to bring to light the likeness
16:35
Speaker 1: of of of how funerals go and how you know,
16:39
Speaker 1: death is so final and it's so hard felt, but
16:44
Speaker 1: even in that sad moment, you can still find joy
16:47
Speaker 1: and you can still find peace and there's always something
16:50
Speaker 1: funny happening. Let's go back a little bit, uh your
16:53
Speaker 1: spell mcgrad and yeah, let me let me just interject.
16:58
Speaker 1: I was a senior for in years and yet and
17:03
Speaker 1: I left in college in nine and that's when I
17:06
Speaker 1: came to California and started working. I came to California
17:09
Speaker 1: for two weeks for sean, and I left fourteen years
17:12
Speaker 1: later and so when I met him with Mr Perry, Yes,
17:17
Speaker 1: when I met up with Mr Perry, he brought me
17:19
Speaker 1: back to Atlanta to work on House of Pain. And
17:23
Speaker 1: I was in Atlanta and I was I just went
17:24
Speaker 1: off the Stone College and said, look, I want my degree.
17:28
Speaker 1: And I went over and I went in February, and
17:31
Speaker 1: they said, Cassie, you cave in just enough time. If
17:33
Speaker 1: you do not get this one credit, that's right, one
17:37
Speaker 1: credit by December, you're gonna lose all of your credits.
17:41
Speaker 1: So God's timing is just perfect. I'm telling you, He's
17:45
Speaker 1: in order. And so when I lost my mind back
17:48
Speaker 1: in ninety nine and ninety nine and one and decided
17:51
Speaker 1: I was gonna be grown, and God restored it, brought
17:55
Speaker 1: it all back to uh to its rightful place, and
17:58
Speaker 1: I got in there just enough time, and I graduated.
18:01
Speaker 1: Actually I graduated with Steve's daughter from so and when. Yeah,
18:07
Speaker 1: they were at my graduations. So it was just perfect,
18:11
Speaker 1: you know, win it in my heart? Um uh So
18:15
Speaker 1: it was just a great moment. So I graduated from
18:17
Speaker 1: Spelma College, yes, sir, in nineteen Uh no, it was
18:21
Speaker 1: two nine, yeah, but I got the spelment in four.
18:26
Speaker 1: So that's that's a testiment of wanting to complete something.
18:29
Speaker 1: Like you said, I would tell people, you know, there's
18:32
Speaker 1: a lot of things we go through life and we
18:34
Speaker 1: just let you just don't complete. And if you don't
18:37
Speaker 1: complete things, then it always feels like what have I
18:39
Speaker 1: really done in my life? And so and I obviously
18:42
Speaker 1: tell me about education, they can't report a degree. Once
18:45
Speaker 1: you get that plaque onund that wall. Bad credit can't
18:47
Speaker 1: take it down. Somebody can't come and go I want
18:49
Speaker 1: it back. So that's that's a that's a strong pride
18:53
Speaker 1: for moment in your life. Correct. I did that, Yes, sir,
18:55
Speaker 1: it was. It was the most important moment in my life.
19:00
Speaker 1: Was a sacrifice made by my parents and um and
19:04
Speaker 1: money galore and time for me and and you know, again,
19:10
Speaker 1: I thought I was grown and I was trying to
19:12
Speaker 1: move out on my own, and and I left Stelma
19:15
Speaker 1: College with that one hour to graduate. I just needed
19:18
Speaker 1: to do my senior recital and I didn't want to
19:20
Speaker 1: send there and do classical music. So I really thought
19:23
Speaker 1: I was standing up for what I thought was right
19:26
Speaker 1: because they said I couldn't do a gospel song. So
19:28
Speaker 1: I was just like, hey, do a gospel song then
19:30
Speaker 1: just like get it. I'm not I do that at all,
19:32
Speaker 1: but a man, that's kind of stupid. And so UM.
19:35
Speaker 1: When I came back, they were they allowed me to
19:37
Speaker 1: do UM a showcase. So I used about twenty seven
19:42
Speaker 1: of the Spellman Knights that were there during that time,
19:45
Speaker 1: young ladies, and and my program went very well. They
19:48
Speaker 1: accepted everything I presented. And and I got my degree
19:52
Speaker 1: with Sean in December of two thousand eight. And I
19:56
Speaker 1: marched and I walked, you know, and with snapping down
20:01
Speaker 1: and all of that, and it was just beautiful. Well
20:04
Speaker 1: that's important because I want people to hear that on
20:06
Speaker 1: this show. I want people to hear that there. It's
20:08
Speaker 1: never too late to go back and complete something that
20:10
Speaker 1: you started, and then and then and then all of
20:13
Speaker 1: a sudden, like you said at the time, when you
20:16
Speaker 1: you stood up for something, and then as you matured,
20:19
Speaker 1: you realized what what was the fight really all about? Right?
20:22
Speaker 1: What was the fight? What really I was I really lost.
20:26
Speaker 1: It was a dead fight. Um. I was fighting for
20:29
Speaker 1: no reason, but um, and I for real, I just
20:33
Speaker 1: really think that the Lord knew that I was trying
20:35
Speaker 1: to stat that for something, but I didn't have to
20:38
Speaker 1: and uh, in my ignorance, he you know, he just
20:41
Speaker 1: baited me down and and matured me and and and
20:44
Speaker 1: then gave me another opportunity to turn back and complete that.
20:47
Speaker 1: And my parents were happy and uh and I am
20:50
Speaker 1: so so satisfied to be a legitimate all the night.
20:54
Speaker 1: You know, you can just go and go and go.
20:58
Speaker 1: But you know I hadn't grabb situated. So now I
21:01
Speaker 1: am a Stoma Knight for real. Let's just talk about
21:04
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let me talk about something I really
21:07
Speaker 1: didn't do well when I was managing Steve was a
21:09
Speaker 1: balanced life. That's why I'm so happy that here that
21:12
Speaker 1: you are a man, a man in your life that
21:14
Speaker 1: you want to share, Mr Patten. And so how does
21:18
Speaker 1: that balanced life work for you? Now? What? Being he's
21:21
Speaker 1: more engaged in your life, how has it changed, Cassie?
21:27
Speaker 1: How has my marriage changed me? You know what? Let
21:31
Speaker 1: me just say this, um, to be honest with you,
21:35
Speaker 1: Rashan and his restored order in my life. Um, I
21:38
Speaker 1: had a wonderful childhood and I had a father that
21:41
Speaker 1: was in place, and I was just accustomed to even
21:44
Speaker 1: when I was working with Steve, and you you know,
21:47
Speaker 1: I was just accustomed to as a woman. I was
21:49
Speaker 1: accustomed to just having male leadership. And um, it's just
21:55
Speaker 1: a wonderful place for me. I'm a help meet, you know,
21:58
Speaker 1: that is what the Lord has made me to be.
22:00
Speaker 1: And I understand, you know, my place and uh and
22:04
Speaker 1: and I enjoy it. I enjoy being a woman. I
22:06
Speaker 1: enjoy being supportive of my husband. But then there are
22:10
Speaker 1: times when he has to be supportive of me. But
22:12
Speaker 1: even in his support of me, Um, I think I
22:15
Speaker 1: come in line with the vision that he has for
22:17
Speaker 1: our family. And I'm just excited about making that work. Um.
22:23
Speaker 1: I'm in love with him. And and I like his
22:26
Speaker 1: order for his life. And I like how he treat
22:29
Speaker 1: his mama. You're hearman and so um, and so he
22:32
Speaker 1: treats me well. And U you know, you you you
22:37
Speaker 1: have offers and and you have to wage those things
22:39
Speaker 1: and just see, you know, what are your good sides
22:42
Speaker 1: and what are your bad sides? But he and I
22:44
Speaker 1: just mesh and we jail so well together. And there's
22:48
Speaker 1: so many things that I don't have to explain to him,
22:50
Speaker 1: just because you know, he's from where I'm from, so
22:53
Speaker 1: he knows country and he knows ignorant and he knows. Uh,
22:57
Speaker 1: oh my god, I don't say that. Last knows that.
23:01
Speaker 1: He knows my sincere, he knows my heart, he knows
23:05
Speaker 1: you know when I really am sad, he knows when
23:07
Speaker 1: I'm really really happy, And so I don't have to
23:10
Speaker 1: explain a lot of things to him. Um, and even
23:13
Speaker 1: when I do, you know, like we were away from
23:16
Speaker 1: each other for about twenty years, and even in those
23:18
Speaker 1: twenty years, we needed it too so that we could
23:21
Speaker 1: grow up. And so um, now that we've come back together,
23:25
Speaker 1: I'm just Um. I just love his leadership basically, and
23:29
Speaker 1: I don't mind him being um the head and I
23:33
Speaker 1: don't I don't mind, And I'm not too far away.
23:35
Speaker 1: I've been next, so I try to when those things
23:40
Speaker 1: go my way. And You're still amazing the movie Tyler
