Thanks Tish all I hear Elvis was a very kind person and helped a lot of people I heard he liked a good laugh and wasn't big headed or had an ego I think Elvis cared about his fans and didn't want to let them down giving concerts when he was unwell the man is a class act plus Elvis never forgot his roots when his family were poor
I read her book. Parts of it wa very interesting & other parts she seemed to be very careful what she wrote. They had a wonderful relationship. My favorite part was when she got him a pocketed scrapbook & they put his police patches ( one in each pocket) & they talked and he loved it. It was an evening he was down & lonely & she was very kind to him. My only problem as myself being a nurse, they put her in a terrible position allowing the drugs on the property under her care, so in essence it was like he had his own pharmacy. Elvis being famous, rich and charismatic, I’m sure at times he was hard to resist. I miss him still.
I think she’s being careful about the things she says out of respect and love for him as her patient and her friend. She doesn’t want her book to be misunderstood. She said it about a ghost writer of her book. See that’s what happened to Sonny , Red and Dave. They told the guy stories but where they made the mistake was not reading it before it was published.
@@gracieg7601 Sorry, but I think Sonny, Red and Dave are making a lame excuse because there are contracts involved with publishing books and they could have sued if they were misquoted. Sonny, Red and Dave wrote that book in anger and as revenge for being fired, plain and simple.
@@daisyhoward5472 That is no excuse for publicly humiliating the man who bought them houses, cars and paid them for doing nothing but lay about 90% of the time. Elvis did not trust them to keep the secret of his ill health which is why it was never shared with them. Elvis was frustrated with their lack of respect and their meddling in his life, as any employer would be; they crossed boundaries no employee should cross. Their biggest problem was the fact that they were too familiar with their employer, they forgot their place as employees. Their lies were inappropriate, uncalled for and totally self serving. If you condone what they did I seriously question the moral code you live by.
I am so glad she was his nurse and friend. I love that she didn't use him or want anything from him. They cared deeply for each other and it is easy to see how compatible they were together. Wonderful interview!!! Thank you so much🌻
I was 7 when Elvis died. And as I'm getting older I have come to really admire and be very interested in him. I am so glad she spoke and wrote a couple books. What an awesome lady!!!
Well it was finally captured, and in a beyond magnificent way by the insanely talented mister Austin Butler, he truly honoured Elvis in every possible way.
So refreshing to hear about some of Elvis and behind the scene stories. I don’t remember the day he passed because I was too young. I was born in October of ‘75 and often tell my mom I was born in the wrong era. I’m a fan of all things Elvis and can’t wait to get back to Graceland to see all of the new additions. That’s my new goal. I’m only 8 hours from Memphis, but gas prices are eating at our bank account just to get to work! I pray things get better soon.
I can’t pick just one. But, his rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water is the best I’ve ever heard and, therefore, my favorite version. I get goosebumps every time I listen to him sing it. The same with If I Can Dream. Elvis has a way with lyrics and style and words, just EVERYTHING. I can’t pick just one. He sings in so many genres it’s an impossible challenge. It truly is.
Excellent interview Steve! Thank you for helping to keep Elvis’ memory alive. I am from Timmins, Ontario, Canada. I have been an Elvis fan my entire life. I can’t remember not having Elvis in my life. Thank you for your TH-cam channel. I listen to your Sunday shows every week but unfortunately I never get the chance to catch them live, maybe someday!!! I watch the recap. I have been listening to you since you would post little snippets of Elvis a couple of times a week on TH-cam a couple of years ago. Please keep up the great work! TCB ⚡️
You know maybe if Elvis knew then just how loved he was and how much he’d be loved 44 years after his death, maybe, just maybe it would have saved him. I know it wasn’t possible, but man, how I wish it was, how I wish he was still here. He was an angel and 42 was just too young to lose him. 💔
What a precious lady, Trish sounds so sweet!!! She really loved Elvis, respected him and she cared so much about him!!! My goodness I just love her memories of Elvis! She is so Genuine and so honest, I love her. Great interview, Thanks so much!!!♥️♥️♥️ This was amazing!!!
What a great interview! Such a sweet lady,I just know Elvis really loved her! He loved it when he had someone had enough spunk to tell him the truth! I imagine it was refreshing for him to not have a yes person with him. This was one of the best interviews I've listened to, what a wonderful lady! Thank you so much! I can't wait to read her book!
Great interview; thanks, and God bless. Even after all these decades, I still find what the Wests and Hebler did to their "friend" appalling. They admitted they did it in anger. No one "helps" a friend by publicly humiliating him. It's heartbreaking that his final days were spent troubled by this disgusting betrayal.
It is so wonderful to hear about Elvis from someone who really knew him up close and personal, telling us what he was like without all the sensasionalistic bs. Thank you from me and all of the other 50 000 000 of Elvis' fans all over the world.
@@lilliangilbert4252 It makes me sad and mad. There will be even more when the movie about Priscilla comes out, that woman lies as easily as she breathes.
Bold hick: I think you e got PRISCILLA wrong. She's done ALOT like selling her house of 45 yrs to pay a tax of one million that Lisa Marie had. She's got to save GRACELAND, the IRS WILL GO AFTER GRACELAND. THE YOUNG GIRLS Should Listen TO HER. With AGE COMES WISDOM.
Oh WOW, that was an amazing interview. Tish knew Elvis and Vernon up close and personal. I just listened to this interview where she spoke about Elvis and Lisa's medical problems with the colon. And for me, she just verified the reason for Lisa's recent death. It was a medical condition that ran in the family, as I understand it. She mentioned that Vernon had a heart attack in 1975 which I didn't know about. Thank you Steve for this inciteful interview!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! ELVIS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN,A NATURAL BORN ENTERTAINER,BLESSED WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT TALENTS AND MUSICALLY INCLINED.ELVIS IS AN ANGEL,MADE IN GODS IMAGE.IVE BEEN A BIG FAN OF HIS FOR 58 YRS.I WAS ONLY 3 YRS OLD WHEN I SAW HIM ON TV.HE WAS IN THE MOVIE LOVE ME TENDER.YOU'D THINK HOW CAN A 61 YR OLD REMEMBER THAT FAR BACK? WELL EVEN AS A CHILD AT A VERY YOUNG AGE OF THREE,WHEN I HEARD HIM SING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,I LOVED HIM .HE HAS SUCH A SOOTHING VOICE,AND HE PUTS ALOT OF EMOTION TO WHAT HE SINGS.HES DEFINITELY TOUGH ENOUGH,WITH THE TOUCH OF A BUTTERFLY.HE LIVES IN MY HEART FOREVER.HES ONE IN A MILLION.GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!
Thank you for this interview and thank you for telling it just like it was. I'm like you I don't know how he held up as long as he did to that kind of life.
I can understand why he really liked her! And the way he took care of her and spent time with her I think he loved her for the person she was. Lol Elvis always got his way! Lol
Such a lovely lady , met her at Holiday Inn 2019 during festival . Got her book signed , and some lovely pictures. She is a delightful lady. Her book is a must ! Love the memories.
I was so glad to hear you talk about Elvis you make him sound so human it was sound so humid I just think you're a great person and he was proud lucky to have you as a nurse
I wish that Elvis had gotten rid of Tom Parker after the 68-69 come back special. He ruined Elvis and kept him from letting Elvis do what he to really wanted to do.
Hi there Steve, Another great in depth interview you hosted so well.. This lady, Elvis,s nurse, shows in her voice such kindness and grace she had devoted. to Elvis... Great work Steve...👍✅✅✅✅✅. Kind regards to you, Steve and all Elvis fans everywhere...from Australia..🌹♥️🙏🌹
Elvis the great singer. the greatest singer in the world. the big voice. the most handsome man in the world. love you elvisl you will always had a special place in my heart ❤️. greetings from denmark,
I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s and I love 💕 his music and flims too elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis 9:45pm
Thank you for sharing with us. She sounded real sweet. I loved hearing her talk about Elvis. .I have been a fan of Elvis for more than 63 years now. I love learning new things about Elvis. I am a Elvis fan for life. Long live Elvis!
Then you have to look in to Sally Hoedels biography “Destined To Die Young”. Tish Kirk spoke of Sally in this interview, stating how she (Sally) bent over backwards til she got all of the material correct with no flaws. I heard Sally in an interview on the Jungle Room channel here on YT, she said it took near 10 years to authenticate the info she got from EP’s doctors, medical records and more til she was ready to publish it.
@@debra2700 there’s an interview on The Jungle Room where she states the compilation of her information began 10 years prior to the completion of the book-. .she states how she has been an admirer of his from an early age, read every book written on him from A to Z but remained hesitant in forming her own drafts until she came across the family’s medical records, everything came together for her once this occurred.
@@MsBonijoni I think you're both right. I think, if I remember right(I saw the interview too) was she said she thought about and gathered the information for 10 yrs. That she actually spent 3 yrs. writing the book and authenticating the info. Not trying to start anything here just trying to help out. Maybe I'll go watch it again now ( the interview). I HATE giving wrong information. IF, I'm wrong, I apologize.
This was one of my favorite interviews if not the favorite one! I really enjoyed hearing the Elvis stories from Tish who you could tell loved him very much and had a wonderful bond with Elvis! Thank you for doing this interview! I am such a huge Elvis fan! 🤗❤
Steve that was a great interview it is so nice to hear from a real human being with brains and no phony ism she is wonderful! Elvis was no dummy he new the sincere people from the greed but to have as many working for him he had to let a few in but I'm sure not to much got past him that he didn't see !God worked overtime when he created Elvisthats for sure.Elvis has given me a lot of pleasure through all his music movies and just reading about him he helped more people than anyone could believe because he did so much more to help people that never got out in the news he was definitely one of God's greatest and most generous and caring creations! Thanks Steve for all your hard work and time to put your podcast together it is great!!!!!
Finally someone told the truth about Vernon! I always believed Vernon was jealous of the gifts he gave. And I forget who said it, Joe or Charley, that Vernon got where he acted like it was his money and Elvis had to set him straight! It was fine if he spent buying Vernon homes, cars etc. plus was basically supporting his wife and her children.
Yea, n he was not good at managing things either, look at how he lost a million dollars due to a scam...they can say he did a good job all they like but the way he sucked up to Parker when everyone could see Parker was pushing n pushing Elvis to the deep end when he needed rest was disgusting, Parker was all about the money, he didn't give a damn for Elvis the person ( sorry for my language). The worst act was Parker pushing Vernon to sign the contract to manage Elvis's memorabilia n all on Elvis's funeral.day !!!!!! What the hell was Vernon thinking ???!!! Any decent Father would have told him to leave it for now on such a painful day !!!! I was so shocked as how dumb he was that he couldn't see Parker's greed. The only reason Vernon got that job was because Elvis was his son, before Elvis was famous, Vernon was a drunk daily always fighting with his wife who got arrested every week, he's lucky his kind hearted son saved him !!
Hi steve another great interview buy the people that were close to elvis Tish is always interviewed at elvis week hope you get her back on steve thank you
Tish sounds like such a sweet person, it's not hard to see why Elvis loved her, what a beautiful friendship they had, so glad Elvis had a nurse he could trust, no matter what they say I think Nick cared more of making money out of Elvis allowing him to be more addicted to his medication.
Everyone around him Tried to help him! Unless a person admits they have a problem and need help,you can't help them. He didn't believe he had a problem.
What a magnificent interview. Thank you so much Steve. I enjoyed your podcast immensely. Just have to say this to you. I am very religious and spiritual. My parents died at 33 and 45 respectively. Mother at 33 and father at 45. I was 3 and 10 yrs old. My brother was Steve and I’m Sandra. My father remarried to an awful woman and when he died 6 yes later I became the real Cinderella. Anyway. My brother and I became extremely CLOSE. My brother Steve became a Franciscan Priest and died when he was 36. Needless to say I miss the 3 of them so much. So the coincidence of his name being STEVE and yours being Steve and his love for St Francis and becoming a Franciscan and your last name being Francis. I am sure I found this on U-Tube for a reason. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe everything is meant to be for a reason. Anyway THANK YOU STEVE for this U/Tube channel and God Bless You. PS. I’ve watched “ELVIS” 5 times already and end up crying my eyes out from the last scene with Priscilla and saying. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU until the end of the movie. He was a Spectacular, Amazing, and Special Gift from God. He will live on always after we all are gone. I hope to meet him as well as my family in the Afterlife (Heaven). THANK YOU AGAIN STEVE!!!!🦋🙏🏻🎸💥👑💔
Tish summed Vernon up perfectly Elvis was his free ride for sure and I've heard and read he was selfish and always on Elvis's back about his spending habits, Vernon was the reason he sold the G ranch and the Fans forever blame so many around Elvis on how they did nothing to help Elvis yet no one ever looked at Vernon his own father , who seemed did nothing to help his own son ? I have often thought if Elvis didn't become the super star what would have become of the Presley's as Vernon wasn't an academic and not much of a provider, he knew how blessed he was financially with Elvis never again would Vernon work.
Good interview Steve. She always speaks highly of Elvis. She basically devoted herself and her family to Elvis and Vernon. Thank both of you for great interview.
Steve I haven’t seen this till todsy. I have her book. So I know some of the stuff but I do love to hear her tell it in her own voice. She is a wonderful person.
I was a singer and one of my favourite songs was suspicious mind's. My darling husband was lead Guitar. Best days of my life. ELVIS was a one off. My darling passed away in July. I know he is in Heaven and so is ELVIS. I will be with my darling RON again.
This was great! You can tell how much she cared for Elvis. What really stuck out to me was that even some in his inner circle were enabling him in order to get into his good graces & get material objects/money from him. So sad.
Hi Steve, Amazing interview!! Gives me great comfort to know Elvis had Caring people like Tish around. She sounds lovely💖 Thank you to you both for this Wonderful interview🙏🙏💕 Stay safe and Take Care❤️
Thompson. Was the only one who really took care of elvis and loved him.shed be awake the whole time in the bed.shed be looking at him,and checking his breathing.sometimes it was good sometimes it wasn't she saved his life more than few times
Wow , whatta great interview! So , down to earth & relatable. Steve , good job & good questions to help clarify some of the real medical issues he had. ^ ^
Hi Steve, Wow!!!!! What an amazing interview. Trish sounded like she truly cared and loved Elvis. What a wonderful interview Steve thank you so much. Xxx 💝
@@cynthiaragsdale9991 I used to have that book that's how I know. I can't remember how I first heard about it..I don't know what happened to it. I can always get it again from Amazon.
I had read this book because I’m a nurse and then I just received the other one I Called Him Babe 3 days ago. I wish I’d been hi nurse. In the Hospital they didn’t dare give him young pretty ones. That would have been a disaster!!!😂😂🕺🏼🕺🏻🎸❤️
Great interview Steve. I could listen to her stories all day. She sounds so genuine. Loved how she was another one who Elvis gave a nickname to. You could tell she truly cared about Elvis but she tells it like it was. She has a great sense of humor. I need to read her book. 📚 🕺 🎶 👩⚕️
Thanks Tish all I hear Elvis was a very kind person and helped a lot of people I heard he liked a good laugh and wasn't big headed or had an ego I think Elvis cared about his fans and didn't want to let them down giving concerts when he was unwell the man is a class act plus Elvis never forgot his roots when his family were poor
I imagine just being around regular southern folks like her was medicine for the soul. Thanks for sharing your story.
Love this.can’t wait to read book. She was blessed to be so close to him.what a guy. Sweet lady, he had a good nurse.
It seems to me like you know much more about Elvis's private life then anyone else. Thank you for being a friend he needed one.
I read her book. Parts of it wa very interesting & other parts she seemed to be very careful what she wrote. They had a wonderful relationship. My favorite part was when she got him a pocketed scrapbook & they put his police patches ( one in each pocket) & they talked and he loved it. It was an evening he was down & lonely & she was very kind to him. My only problem as myself being a nurse, they put her in a terrible position allowing the drugs on the property under her care, so in essence it was like he had his own pharmacy. Elvis being famous, rich and charismatic, I’m sure at times he was hard to resist. I miss him still.
I think she’s being careful about the things she says out of respect and love for him as her patient and her friend. She doesn’t want her book to be misunderstood. She said it about a ghost writer of her book. See that’s what happened to Sonny , Red and Dave. They told the guy stories but where they made the mistake was not reading it before it was published.
@@gracieg7601 Sorry, but I think Sonny, Red and Dave are making a lame excuse because there are contracts involved with publishing books and they could have sued if they were misquoted.
Sonny, Red and Dave wrote that book in anger and as revenge for being fired, plain and simple.
@@boldchick101 Like most things it cost money to sue people. They were hardly rolling in it having been sacked suddenly as middle aged men.
@@daisyhoward5472
That is no excuse for publicly humiliating the man who bought them houses, cars and paid them for doing nothing but lay about 90% of the time.
Elvis did not trust them to keep the secret of his ill health which is why it was never shared with them.
Elvis was frustrated with their lack of respect and their meddling in his life, as any employer would be; they crossed boundaries no employee should cross.
Their biggest problem was the fact that they were too familiar with their employer, they forgot their place as employees.
Their lies were inappropriate, uncalled for and totally self serving.
If you condone what they did I seriously question the moral code you live by.
I am so glad she was his nurse and friend. I love that she didn't use him or want anything from him. They cared deeply for each other and it is easy to see how compatible they were
together. Wonderful
interview!!! Thank you

Worked him to death for his own benefit , just criminal 😡

Elvis was no dummy he new the sincere people from the greed but to have as many working for him he had to let a few in but I'm sure not to much got past him that he didn't see !God worked overtime when he created Elvisthats for sure.Elvis has given me a lot of pleasure through all his music movies and just reading about him he helped more people than anyone could believe because he did so much more to help people that never got out in the news he was definitely one of God's greatest and most generous and caring creations! Thanks Steve for all your hard work and time to put your podcast together it is great!!!!!
Thanks Paul for your support it really is appreciated
Great interview! Thank you. I will look for her book.
very good interview with an Elvis insider. thanks
Thank you
Great job!! Lovely lady!!! I’d believe anything she’s saying!!! lol
Just have to love her and KNOW she’s accurate and truthful!!!
Finally someone told the truth about Vernon! I always believed Vernon was jealous of the gifts he gave. And I forget who said it, Joe or Charley, that Vernon got where he acted like it was his money and Elvis had to set him straight! It was fine if he spent buying Vernon homes, cars etc. plus was basically supporting his wife and her children.
Yea, n he was not good at managing things either, look at how he lost a million dollars due to a scam...they can say he did a good job all they like but the way he sucked up to Parker when everyone could see Parker was pushing n pushing Elvis to the deep end when he needed rest was disgusting, Parker was all about the money, he didn't give a damn for Elvis the person ( sorry for my language). The worst act was Parker pushing Vernon to sign the contract to manage Elvis's memorabilia n all on Elvis's funeral.day !!!!!! What the hell was Vernon thinking ???!!! Any decent Father would have told him to leave it for now on such a painful day !!!! I was so shocked as how dumb he was that he couldn't see Parker's greed.
The only reason Vernon got that job was because Elvis was his son, before Elvis was famous, Vernon was a drunk daily always fighting with his wife who got arrested every week, he's lucky his kind hearted son saved him !!
@Bryant Benson 🙄
Absolutely absolutely absolutely
Hi steve another great interview buy the people that were close to elvis Tish is always interviewed at elvis week hope you get her back on steve thank you
Tish sounds like such a sweet person, it's not hard to see why Elvis loved her, what a beautiful friendship they had, so glad Elvis had a nurse he could trust, no matter what they say I think Nick cared more of making money out of Elvis allowing him to be more addicted to his medication.
What a wonderful interview. Thank you so much for recording it and sharing. Rip Elvis. Stay safe everyone.
You too Lori
@Bryant Benson 🙄
It's a shame how this went down for Elvis so many people in his life and no one helped him as if God already had a plan
First of all, punctuation! Second of all, why should they help him? A man has to help himself
Everyone around him Tried to help him! Unless a person admits they have a problem and need help,you can't help them. He didn't believe he had a problem.
I agree with Tish. There is only one Elvis!
Thank God for Tish‼️
What a magnificent interview. Thank you so much Steve. I enjoyed your podcast immensely. Just have to say this to you. I am very religious and spiritual. My parents died at 33 and 45 respectively. Mother at 33 and father at 45. I was 3 and 10 yrs old. My brother was Steve and I’m Sandra. My father remarried to an awful woman and when he died 6 yes later I became the real Cinderella. Anyway. My brother and I became extremely CLOSE. My brother Steve became a Franciscan Priest and died when he was 36. Needless to say I miss the 3 of them so much. So the coincidence of his name being STEVE and yours being Steve and his love for St Francis and becoming a Franciscan and your last name being Francis. I am sure I found this on U-Tube for a reason. I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe everything is meant to be for a reason. Anyway THANK YOU STEVE for this U/Tube channel and God Bless You. PS. I’ve watched “ELVIS” 5 times already and end up crying my eyes out from the last scene with Priscilla and saying. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU until the end of the movie. He was a Spectacular, Amazing, and Special Gift from God. He will live on always after we all are gone. I hope to meet him as well as my family in the Afterlife (Heaven).
THANK YOU AGAIN STEVE!!!!🦋🙏🏻🎸💥👑💔
Thanks Tish for looking after our beautifull Elvis !!
@Bryant Benson 🙄
Tish summed Vernon up perfectly Elvis was his free ride for sure and I've heard and read he was selfish and always on Elvis's back about his spending habits, Vernon was the reason he sold the G ranch and the Fans forever blame so many around Elvis on how they did nothing to help Elvis yet no one ever looked at Vernon his own father , who seemed did nothing to help his own son ? I have often thought if Elvis didn't become the super star what would have become of the Presley's as Vernon wasn't an academic and not much of a provider, he knew how blessed he was financially with Elvis never again would Vernon work.
love the story of Pontiac Elvis gave to Mrs. Henley. Thank you for nice interview! cherios from Latvia! Marko
Great interview
Good interview Steve. She always speaks highly of Elvis. She basically devoted herself and her family to Elvis and Vernon. Thank both of you for great interview.

I was a singer and one of my favourite songs was suspicious mind's. My darling husband was lead Guitar. Best days of my life. ELVIS was a one off.
My darling passed away in July. I know he is in Heaven and so is ELVIS.
I will be with my darling RON again.
Sorry for your loss Maria.
I hope Elvis' voice brings you comfort
Absolutely a big kick, Steve. Great, great, great interview and lovely stories from Tish. Really enjoyed it, so a big thanks to both of you.
Really enjoyed your interview...
Thank you Sue
I love her!

Thanks.... much appreciated
Steve
Super interview!!
Graceland. Inside elviss bathroom, both his aunt delta& the maid/ cook elvis hired, got everything off the counters in the bathroom disposing of them
Thank you for this
@Bryant Benson 🙄🙄
This was great! You can tell how much she cared for Elvis. What really stuck out to me was that even some in his inner circle were enabling him in order to get into his good graces & get material objects/money from him. So sad.
The only friend he had was Charlie Hodges and Charlie was his best friend.

Very good interview wish he wasn't destined to die young too many people took advantage of him and probably still do in my opinion
Loved it.. Tish is an awesome lady.
She has a great sense of humor too.
Elvis was very much loved by her.
That was beautiful 😍
Thanks Steve, Such a great interview with a very gracious lady. Fantastic questions and truthful answers. Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it Colin

Hi Steve,
Wow!!!!! What an amazing interview. Trish sounded like she truly cared and loved Elvis. What a wonderful interview Steve thank you so much. Xxx 💝
Glad you liked it Karen
All the best

Elvis also had a nurse called Marian Cocke. She wrote a book called I Called Him Babe.
A wonderful book. Sweet lady with beautiful memories.
@@cynthiaragsdale9991 I used to have that book that's how I know. I can't remember how I first heard about it..I don't know what happened to it. I can always get it again from Amazon.
I had read this book because I’m a nurse and then I just received the other one I Called Him Babe 3 days ago. I wish I’d been hi nurse. In the Hospital they didn’t dare give him young pretty ones. That would have been a disaster!!!😂😂🕺🏼🕺🏻🎸❤️
😄
@Arkansaw Dave
She didn't live on the grounds but she did care for him at Graceland after her normal working hours for a long time.
Great interview Steve. I could listen to her stories all day. She sounds so genuine. Loved how she was another one who Elvis gave a nickname to. You could tell she truly cared about Elvis but she tells it like it was. She has a great sense of humor. I need to read her book. 📚 🕺 🎶 👩⚕️
