Jumping off a bridge into water is the best hangover cure

First one, jumping off a bridge. Like jumping off a bridge into water. You get an adrenaline rush, and then you get the water, and then once you're in the ocean, then you're unhungover.

A matter of personal preference, though not medically recommended as a standard cure.

White Gatorade is the best Gatorade flavor

Favorite Gatorade flavors. I'm going... The white flavor, number one. Are you kidding me? Love the white flavor. So the white one, I think you guys are sleeping on that.

Taste is subjective, but Glacier Cherry (White) is widely considered a top-tier flavor by many.

Synergy is the best filler word for office life and will lead to promotions

When you're in the office, use synergy as a filler word. You'll probably get promoted four times before Christmas.

The effectiveness of using buzzwords for promotion is subjective and largely a joke.

Parents name their kids Harper to falsely signal that they are well-read

My first one is Harper. I think a lot of people are naming their kids Harper. The reason this one makes me mad is it's kind of like a fake I'm really into book's name. I read that book that everyone read in high school [To Kill a Mockingbird], and it was a really good book even though that was the last book I read.

The motivation behind baby names is entirely subjective and cannot be verified for all parents.

Bill Russell is better than LeBron James

Hank you actually had speaking of hot takes hank didn't you say bill russell was better than lebron? yeah that's right... I'm not ruling [Russell beating LeBron one-on-one] out by any means.

While Russell has more rings, almost all statistical metrics and consensus rankings place LeBron James higher than Bill Russell.

UConn women's basketball could beat a WNBA team

Could UConn women's basketball beat a WNBA team? Probably. I'm actually serious. I think they could.

This has never happened, making it impossible to verify, but WNBA teams are composed of the best college players, making it highly unlikely.

Lacrosse will be the fourth major sport in America in 30 years

Should lacrosse take over soccer as the fourth major sport? I think it's got to be us. I think we've got to take it upon ourselves... 30 years.

Lacrosse has not surpassed hockey or soccer in terms of viewership or revenue since this take was made.

NFL Blitz is a Mount Rushmore-tier video game

All right, first up, NFL Blitz. No, I played video games a lot more when I was really young, and that was my favorite one.

Todd Packer is a Mount Rushmore character from The Office

Todd Packer. He's obviously on my mountain. Todd's a guy that would definitely punch some nerds with us because we hate nerds on this show.

Kelly Kapoor is the most underrated character on The Office

I actually am a big Kelly Kapoor guy. I think Kelly Kapoor gets [not] enough credit for being hilarious, especially with her relationship with Ryan. My favorite Kelly Kapoor was when she was like, I'm pregnant, and then they cut to her and she's like [shaking head].

Prison Mike, Date Mike, and Michael Skarn are the three best characters in The Office

I've got Prison Mike as number one. Number two, I've got Date Mike. Nice to meet me. Michael Skarn is my number three.

A comedic take ranking fictional alter-egos.

Jan Levinson became a better and more insane character after her breast augmentation

Fucking Jan was great... I guess [I would take her] post-boob job because she just got even more insane.

Ryan Howard was a better character as a temp than as a corporate executive

I like the temp Ryan Howard to corporate. I didn't like him after he came back.

Peeing in the pool is the most natural thing in the world

My final favorite Mount Rushmore pool activity. This is my number one, actually, peeing in the pool. I've never been in a pool that I haven't peed in. So that's just it's I will sometimes pass going to the bathroom in a bathroom just so I can pee in the pool.

This is a subjective lifestyle choice and personal confession.

Napping in the sun is a top-tier pool activity

Number three taking a nap. Oh yeah, yeah. Falling asleep in the sun. ... I'm going to just get a big sunburn and let it turn into a tan. ... I'm all natural.

The health efficacy of 'letting a sunburn turn into a tan' is medically incorrect, but the take is an opinion on leisure.

I hope the Cavaliers beat the Warriors again next year

I hope the Cavs beat the Warriors again next year. Then David West goes to the Cavs. And then the Warriors beat the Cavs. And he's just stuck losing like every single year.

The Warriors beat the Cavs in 5 games in the 2017 Finals. David West successfully won a ring with the Warriors.

I have Mount McKinley. I refuse to call it Denali. Screw that. It's Mount McKinley to me.

While the official name is Denali, individuals can still refer to it as McKinley.
