Now, are all the traitors present? Let's get started, shall we? From rags to riches. I'm so sick of this. Working like a dog and being treated worse. Yorkshire to New York. Poor climbers, you and me. A life dedicated to revenge. Let's make this an occasion to remember. A Woman of Substance on Channel 4, stream now.

I don't think even a law can stop Illinois and champagne from going nuts.

Drink those beers, drink the champagne, have a party.

See you because Illinois is going to the final floor for the first time in 21 years.

Welcome in to the Alina Inquirer podcast.

I'm Jeremy Warner live at Toyota Center in Houston where we saw Illinois make history as one of the three teams in the modern era to make it to the final four with a 71-59 win over Iowa in the elite eight.
