Motocross.

Love watching the pros and talking all about it. Recently got a coworker into it and it's been fun explaining all the ins and outs of the sport and, as a past rider, trying to relate track conditions/difficulties to him

Any specific regions or time periods?

I just love studying how culture cross pollination leads to art movement's throughout history ie. how Japanese prints are largely responsible for the Impressionist and Post impressionist movements in Europe or how the Mughal Emperors of India had Paintings of a Greek God on the ceiling, in the Palace of Muslim rulers.

Entrance videos for wrestlers. I hate when it's just static text with their name.

Cats. I probably argue too much with people about the "correct" descriptions of coat colors/patterns, as I really like learning about the genetics behind them. Lots of other cat related stuff too, such as diet & training/behavior.

Western philosophy/existentialism and Scripture, but the former makes people feel insecure/bored and the latter is a sensitive topic. I'll nerd out about Dune too, and whoever has read the series will understand my interest. 😅

Don't say the word 'wild' near me...
