Gen X Pride, Tina Fey, Peptides, and Comfort Movies

At 1:08:58 · chapter starts 1:08:20

The conversation winds down with a warm celebration of being 50-something Gen Xers who don't give a damn. Both are 56-ish, and they agree the 50s are their best decade yet. The discussion of Tina Fey leads to the revelation that she's a Taurus — which Domingo, having lived with a Taurus (Raul) for 21 years, says he has figured out. Tina's question from the writers' room — what peptides are you on? — produces a mutual confession that neither really knows what peptides do, just that everyone taking them looks good and nobody can explain what's in them. Colman's go-to comfort viewing is Melissa McCarthy in Spy for uncontrollable laughter, or the Whoopi Goldberg version of The Color Purple for a hard cry. He and Amy agree they no longer have any interest in horror — only movies that make you laugh or make you cry.
