There's a difference.

Yeah.

Where am I?

Boston, Boston.

Yeah, I've had a lovely walk around Boston today.

So got here yesterday, drove here from New York in horrendous weather, grey skies.

That's a long drive as well, isn't it?

Yeah, I mean, Pat Nevin did all the driving.

Pat really enjoys the driving.

He prefers to drive rather than be a passenger.

So Pat sets up the playlist, does all the driving, and I just sort of sat in the back and whiled the time away.

But the sunshine's come out today, and as I texted you earlier, I have eaten today a bowl of pasta that would be up there with the top three bowls of pasta I've ever eaten in my entire life.

I was enjoying it so much.

i can't remember the other two but i was enjoying it so much three well i'll put it at the top then john i'll put it at the top right at the top i was enjoying it so much that normally i'm quite gluttonous with pasta and i'd sort of you know it was rigatoni so it's the big old fat tubes and i put about three or four on a fork at a time and shovel it in as quickly i was enjoying this so much i was like you i was eating like you john i was i was just one at a time it was so delicious eat one tube of rigatoni at a time

I'm here ahead of France-Morocco.

We're kicking off the quarter-finals tomorrow.

I have to say, actually, it's a great shame that Vicky Sparks isn't on the podcast today because Vicky has been on the West Coast and in Canada, and we're going to tell all our tales, aren't we, of where we've been and what we've seen.

And, John, you've been in Mexico, and, Denno, you've been all over the place.

But, unfortunately, we haven't got Vicky's travelling.

Well, it's either she's travelling or she's still getting over the excitement of Switzerland-Colombia.
