Believe it or not, it’s been TEN YEARS since Cassie joined The Bert Show. A DECADE. And over the years, there’s been so much cool stuff that she’s gotten to do, from the trips to L.A. & Vegas for the American Music Awards and the Billboard Music Awards with Kristin, starting a podcast – BROADly Speaking – with Davi, being a part of Bert’s Big Adventure, to doing the EDIN Celebrity Dance Challenge, the breastfeeding bill The Bert Show pushed through, the Torrid model search she did and doing a fashion show in her underwear, but when she really narrows it down, THESE are the top 10 moments from her time on the show.
CASSIE’S TOP 10 MOMENTS: #10 – 6
10. TEACHING MOE ACCENTS
We all know our friend Moe isn’t really that great at accents…so Cassie tried to teach him. It didn’t go well.
9. THE BERT SHOW TELLS DAVI SHE GETS TO MEET HER CHILDHOOD HERO, KELLY
When she was a child, Davi was bullied for her looks and there was one person who stood up to her FAMILY for her – it was her brother’s girlfriend, Kelly. And all these years later…The Bert Show found Kelly, and surprised Davi with a trip to go meet her.

8. SUIT YOURSELF ON HLN
Years ago, we started the “Suit Yourself” body positivity movement. It’s an empowerment movement that centers around posting a full body photo of yourself in a bathing suit on social media with NO filters and NO photoshop with the hashtag #SuitYourself. It made it to HLN!
7. BERT & MOE GO THROUGH LABOR PAINS
On the first day of Cassie’s maternity leave, as she was prepping to go to the hospital to give birth, Bert and Moe were hooked up to the “contraction contraption” which electrically shocks them and simulates labor pains for Live Like A PREGNANT Woman Week!

6. MEETING BRITNEY SPEARS
Cassie got to meet Britney Spears at the Billboard Music Awards and tell her how much she meant to her…and Britney had a verrrrry special response for Cassie.

4. KRISTIN’S BABY REGISTRY SURPRISE FOR CASSIE
Kristin heard Cassie say she wanted to do something with her baby registry for the greater good, much like Kristin and her husband, Bart, did for their wedding registry in honor of Bert’s Big Adventure. And Kristin surprised Cassie on-air with a work baby shower, with ALL the gifts “registered for” from Bert Show listeners going to a nonprofit that helps moms in need called Helping Mamas.
And not only that, Rebecca Hartman from Regal Lager has a huge, huge surprise for her baby shower their brand Love To Dream donated 1,000 swaddles andJessica Golden from Kids2, the parent company of the brands Baby Einstein, Ingenuity and Bright Starts donated a TON of toys to Helping Mamas, and Bert Show listeners donated over 1,000 gifts!
Here’s the @LoveToDreamUSA swaddle I mentioned. LOVE. When @KrisKling surprised me w/@TheBertShow baby registry, @RebeLight at @RegalLager donated a TON to @HelpingMamas! https://t.co/kTdnePYDbr
Can’t thank her, our listeners & also @Kids2Co enough for everything they donated.❤️ pic.twitter.com/GTkDOhjIe4

Ps. That registry is still going and you can still support moms in need – the gifts purchased go straight to Helping Mamas!

3. GOING VIRAL FOR BEING BODY SHAMED BY A PERSONAL TRAINER SHAMING HER ABOUT HER WEDDING DAY
A trainer tried to shame Cassie into losing weight for her wedding day, attacking her, saying she should feel guilty over her lifestyle, her eating, and her body, so Cassie shut him down and posted the exchange and the story went gone viral!

3. THE BET PAYOFF VIDEO: “SLAVE 4 U”
One of the first big things Cassie did on the show was a weight loss bet (or two) with Tommy. She won the first time, but lost the second time…and the payoff was bad. She had to dance in her underwear to Britney Spears’ “Slave 4 U,” the song that Tommy, the winner, chose for her.
And this was the final product that was supposed to come down after 3 weeks but stayed up for 7 years (and counting):
1. SURPRISING THE SHOW WITH HER PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT
When she was at the Billboard Music Awards, Cassie got artist Khalid to record a really special announcement…and then she told the show that she had breaking news from Khalid that had been “embargoed” until that very moment! They had NO IDEA it was coming!
