I think that would surprise people the competitive nature of Chris Stapleton.

I think I seem more relaxed to people.

I'm glad they give me that credit but I'm probably not.

I take the music very seriously.

I take the obligation to the people that have bought tickets very seriously.

I take you know doing the best I can do very seriously.

Sometimes I get that right and sometimes I get that wrong but I think that's being human. And today's show brought to you by Roca.

Rob and his whole crew down here in my hometown of Austin, Texas are absolutely making the coolest sunglasses,

prescription glasses, just chilling glasses out there.

Love what they built.

They've completely reinvented the category.

Glass is optimized for performance, even if it's your reading glasses, which I can't

go anywhere without. Yeah, they perform. They've got the no slip, they hinge, total game changer for me, the riding glasses,

unbelievably lightweight.

You literally forget they're wearing them.

Best optics on the market.

No other sunglasses compare crystal clear,

fog resistant, scratch scratch resistant and they never

slip no matter how sweaty you get and for those who know you know I get sweaty not

only that roca is working with the special, they test their stuff with the best athletes around in the harshest conditions on earth to make sure that they're going to work best for you.

Like I said, hand-built, right here in our hometown of Austin, Texas. The forward
