It's become a rite of passage at this point that if you’re on tour with Deirks Bentley, the odds that you’ll end up in a trash can full of ice are pretty high.

Artists from Parker McCollum, Travis Denning, Jordan Davis and Riley Green have all taken the plunge with Bentley, and this time around it’s Zach Top's turn.

Let's just say his negotiations to do it were spot on.

In a new Instagram reel posted by Bentley and Top, the two prepare to face a 29-degree plunge. Top removes his shirt to reveal some expertly “drawn-on abs” clearly applied with a blue marker for a little humor and confidence boosts, although by the looks of it, he needed some liquid courage, too.

Before stepping in, he offered: “I need a fresh beer and a cigarette,” which should be the unofficial motto of country guys doing wellness trends.

The best part, though, was the subtle jab at Riley Green. As the ice sets in, Top turns to the camera and quips, “Get f******, Riley Green,” before laughing and adding “Just kidding, buddy. Love you.”

Despite the absurdity (or maybe because of it), Top holds his own in the plunge longer than many of his predecessors. Maybe its the cigarette or maybe it’s the marker abs. Either way, the man’s a natural.

With his upcoming album, Ain’t In It For My Health, arriving August 29, Top’s cold plunge commitment might just be the best metaphor for his approach to country music.
