Okay. Pass on that one. Question number two, in a resurfaced interview, actress Anna Kendrick makes some shocking claims about Katy Perry being inappropriate with her. What's the name of the animated movie that Anna starred in as Poppy opposite Justin Timberlake? Oh, question number three. Okay. I thought you said the answer there. Yes. I thought you said when she did that. I thought you said, Oh, she said, Oh, all right. Question. I said, I know you said it. I got it. Okay. Question number three, this blind side and bird box star just joined Instagram. Be careful, by the way, because you don't know what the question ends up being. I'll be honest with you. I'm happier with her screaming it out and waiting until the end of Kevin's threes. We're going to be here forever. But yeah, it's your right, Shannon. You never know. I could twist it around and say, no, that's not the end. Here we go. Question number four, actress Emma Watson is celebrating her 36th birthday today.

This doomed luxury ship, the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship of the ship. So this doomed luxury ship sank after hitting an iceberg. It was later made into a movie that started Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. What was the name of that ship? Titanic.

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough, and you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.
