Hey guys, I'm Emma Choi and welcome to everyone in their mom, a weekly show from WeightWink

Don't Tell Me.

This week we're talking about the minions, you know, from the movie, with weightweight

panelists, comedian, and someone who I think drinks pickle juice right out of the jar.

It's Emmy Plotnik, man, I mean, hi, Emma, you're right about me.

I love it.

Well, I mean, the minions are everywhere, as I'm sure you know.

I mean, you've probably seen them in an insurance commercial on the Twinkies box, on TickTacks.

It's hot minions summer, baby.

It truly is.

The marketing budget has never been hotter for the minions.

I know.

I mean, much like COVID, the minions have become endemic.

The rise of grew is an absolute box office hit this summer.

You've probably noticed that you can't go more than like 10 seconds without seeing one

of these yellow tick-tock guys promoting everything from your bananas, your happy meals.

And Universal Studios kind of accidentally created the universal object of affection, which is

apparently a little round guy wearing jeans who just wants to hang out.

And I feel like it's why we love Danny DeVito so much.

Same character as Max, right?

Yes, I see that.

I see the link there.
