| 0:00.0 | From Relay, this is Upgrade episode 600. |
| 0:11.9 | Today's show is brought to you by Century, Delete Me and the Pets Table. |
| 0:16.9 | My name is Mike Hurley, and I have the honor and pleasure of being joined by Jason Snow. |
| 0:20.8 | Hi, Jason Snow. Hi, Mike Hurley. Good to be back. You know, I was going to say the up-air program. The man who's been here for all 600 episodes, but it's not true. It's not true. It's not true. I missed three. Mm-hmm. Three. You do win in the sense of who's been here the most. I have missed many more. Yeah, by a lot. |
| 0:54.2 | I've missed many more. Even though I take breaks every year, I also went on a long paternity leave and had a long honeymoon. Man, I've done a lot during the time of this show's been recording. There's a lot of life going on in these 600 episodes. In 600 weeks, yeah.

| 1:31.5 | It was the big game against Stanford and they were behind and they got the ball at the two yard line or whatever. |
| 1:36.0 | And they marched down the field and scored the winning touchdown. |
| 1:38.5 | And afterward he gave an emotional interview with the announcer from ESPN or whatever. |
| 1:49.5 | And he said how great it was and how he loved everybody and 98 yards with my boys and Go Bears forever. |
| 1:55.3 | He then called out sick the next week, put himself in the transfer portal, and transferred to the University of Indiana. That was his last appearance. |
