    Scaring the Heaux With Mycal Dédé, Eddie Huang & Natashia Perrotti

    This week we are joined by comedian and writer Mycal Dédé. We recently came across Mycal’s essay “You Have No Bitches, You’ve Never Been With a Baddie, & You Are Scaring the Hoes” and knew immediately that we had to have him on the show. Our goal was simple; we had to understand what was scaring these hoes. Why were they scared? Who scared them the most? When was the first time the hoes had been scared? And finally, to truly do our part as philanthropists, we asked Mycal how the bros could stop scaring the hoes altogether (or at least a tad bit less). We had a great time with Mycal discussing all this and much more!
