If you know legendary drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, The Winery Dogs) at all you know he has unabashed affection for his 13.5 year old Maltese/Yorkie mix Mickey who's a constant presence on his social media. So it was a pleasure having Mike on the show to hear all about Mickey and his adventures, fans and health updates.

Keep up with Mickey on Instagram at @mickey_portnoy (if you're not one of his 12.7K followers already!)
