In this Art Guy Reacts episode, Michael Joy tours the modern home of YouTube’s beloved Dr. Mike—doctor, content creator, and now… model car hobbyist? While this isn’t a teardown, Michael gently unpacks how even a smart, successful guy with a huge following can make a few common design missteps when home design isn’t their true passion. From overly neutral rooms and oddly sterile lighting to furniture layout, bathtub ergonomics, and foosball in the bedroom (?!), This is a working residence, not just a YouTuber’s stage—and that makes it worth a closer look.
