Wisconsin's nice-guy governor looked downright perturbed at his State of the State address this week when demanding quick action from the Legislature. Gov. Tony Evers went on offense, calling for a special legislative session next week to help struggling dairy farmers. The Democratic governor also got the jump on the GOP-run Legislature by announcing an executive order to create a nonpartisan process to end gerrymandering. Evers took lots of shots. But will he score as lawmakers get close to adjourning for the year this spring? Milfred and Hands analyze the governor's strategy on this week's political podcast, play audio clips from the speech and compare his moves to curling.
