On this show we talk about coffee, New York, presidential daughters, dogs, you know, no big whoop, just coffee talk.
Yesterday evening, I decided to take a walk to Trump Tower and ran into the Women's March, and there were so many women there, and someone yelled out, "Look, it's Barbara!" Well I had a heart attack and all the women started crowded and I almost got trampled, but it turned out it was just a fan, dressed up as Barbara, but seeing all those fans there...
Now I'm getting a little verklepmt...
Talk amongst yourselves.
I'll give you a topic.
Aternative facts are neither alternative nor facts. Discuss.

Oy, that Ivanka, such a shaineh maideleh! Did you see her legs? Like buttah, they are! And such a bee-yootiful boychik of a husband she's got! Why can't my precious daughter find a nice Jewish boy like that? Just thinking about it makes me farklempt. Hold on... OK, I'm better now.

Who's Barbara?

I didn't make it to the women's march. Now I am all farklempt.

You say it was bigger than the inauguration crowd?

All better now!

Ah, childish competition is good for the mood, when your team is on the winning side, of course.

Or whining side, if alternative facts are what you seek.

If anyone's eating crow, just make sure you eat in small bites. Like menschen do.

Barbara Walters? Barbra Streisand? I fear I date myself.

But ladies, some of us (though we can shmooz in Yiddish with the sheinsteh) don't know all your dialects. So please provide a little translation (you may use Spoiler alert if you like).

E.g. will I find farklempt in google translate? Methinks not.

Oy, just when I was about to buckle down to the work I'm supposed to be doing...

ETA: Surely not Barbara Bush?

It's so crazy how tziluzt Americans became with their protesting and all -. Trump will definitely be better then Obama was then Hillary for sure and most important for the Jews and ISRAEL - so let's stand up and counter protest and show our utmost support

Ladies, go to YouTube and watch a few episodes of Coffee Talk with Linda Richman, some of funniest SNL skits ever starring Mike Myers. No big whoop, all will become clear.
