If you're tone deaf, you can't hear the difference between musical pitches and notes. And it's probably a hereditary trait, as Josh and Chuck explain in this pitch-perfect episode on tone deafness.

AI Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of tone deafness, sparked by a wild intro about "My Way killings" in the Philippines where people have actually been murdered over karaoke performances of Frank Sinatra's classic song. The hosts explore what it really means to be tone deaf (spoiler: it's not about your ears), test their own pitch perception abilities, and break down the brain science behind why some people can't carry a tune while others have perfect pitch like Jimi Hendrix and Yanni. They also share some upcoming Atlanta events and encourage listeners to send in their best karaoke horror stories.
