This week on two blocks from the White House.

We're talking about our recent travels and what we've learned from them.

I just got back from the Middle East after covering the Iran War.

And I took what felt like the shortest trip to France ever,

accompanying Secretary of State Marco Rubio to the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting on Friday.

And I'm in Florida this week for the Artemis II space lunch.

Join me, Katie Simpson and my fellow Washington correspondents, Paul Hunter and Willie

Lowry, every week on two blocks from the White House.

This is a CBC podcast.

Welcome to Sick Boy, a podcast where we talk about what it's like to be sick.

This week's guest is Hannah.

She has retrograde cryopharyngeous dysfunction.

In other words, she hasn't been able to burp her entire life.

Let's talk about it.

Well, it was a few weeks back, and the whole gang was hanging out here at the Sick Boy H.Q.

And I was putting together some content for our Feel Good Friday fun times.

And if I didn't stumble across an article about a, of a fucking poor young woman who had a story, I think it was in the CBC or maybe it was global, who knows,

who cares. But it was a story about this poor young woman who couldn't burp. And I actually, I remember being underwhelmed by the story at first, Jared, thinking like, thinking like, you were. You know, can't burp. Offensibly so. Yes. So what? Everyone is. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I was not. Yeah, because Taylor, you got it.

You understood, like, the idea of not having the ability to burp would probably fucking

suck.

And so, fast forward a couple weeks later, we're sitting here now in our humble abodes on Zoom.

But this time we are joined by that poor young woman herself.
