BALL GAG

You'd think, given the title of their breakthrough single, that Warner Music Nashville stars Dan + Shay would be toasting label boss Espo and iHeartMedia's Tom Poleman with tequila. In point of fact, those shot glasses were filled with a seasonal mixture of eggnog and ayahuasca. Later, Espo's spirit animal materialized and agreed to appear at next year's Jingle Ball.
