In one instance, Wood compared what the state GOP is doing to Evers to Marvel taking away Spider-Man\u2019s powers now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarysue.com\/spider-gwen-and-miles-morales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he\u2019s black<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0w4FjJH8k4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Wood also hilariously torched Evers for using the phrase \u201chot mess\u201d in a national news interview, because as we all know nobody says \u201chot mess\u201d anymore. Come on, Tony. Couldn\u2019t you have asked Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes what all the cool kids are saying these days?<\/p>\n<p>The whole clip is only about five minutes long and definitely worth a watch. Personally, I\u2019d prefer everything be explained to me by Roy Wood Jr., who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebozho.com\/fall-comedy-preview-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visited Madison in October<\/a>. He\u2019s a natural at taking bad news and somehow making it palatable. Take, for example, his summation of when Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said the quiet part out loud and decried Evers\u2019 \u201cliberal agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wood, being Wood, translated this into what Fitzgerald really meant: \u201cThe people of Wisconsin want this liberal stuff and I don\u2019t, so fuck \u2019em.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funny?
