Not The 900 Number You Expected

1 hour 25 minutes

Join John, Dave, and Pilot Pete as they celebrate the 900th episode of Mac Geek Gab. What will they do?

That's how it has worked for 899 episodes, so there's no reason to think this one will be any different! Press play and enjoy hanging out with your three favorite geeks!
