It must be a day for country conspiracy, dear readers. At first, Riley Green and Megan Moroney are revealed to vacationing together, and now Alan Jackson is Zach Top's father. What next?

Docc Andrews, the morning host of a Canadian radio country radio station concluded that Alan Jackson is Zach Top's father, and went viral when the clip was posted to TikTok.
And the best part? Top's Wikipedia page was updated with this 'information.' Although it's since been removed, it was funny while it lasted. Let's go over the theory.
"You guys, Zach Top was born September 6th, 1997, in Sunnyside, Washington, USA," Andrews begins. With flare and showmanship, he continues, "If you go back nine months from his birth date to the winter of 1996. In November of 1996, Alan Jackson played at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington!"
He finishes his theory with, "Have you seen Zach Top's face? His mustache? His sound? Zach Top is Alan Jackson's son. Prove me wrong."
In the clip, their faces fade in to each other, and it is a little eery. Of course, there are discrepancies in the conspiracy. One critic reminds everyone that "November 12, 1996 is 10 1/2 months before September 26, 1997."
Although this is still technically plausible, it doesn't help the theory. But it's still amusing, even if it is a stretch.
Wikipedia Briefly Said Zach Top's Father Was Alan Jackson
Adding to the joke, someone edited Zach Top's Wikipedia page. Per Whiskeyriff, it said, "Zach Top was born on September 26, 1997, and grew up on his father Alan Jackson's ranch in Sunnyside, Washington. He got his musical start performing as part of a bluegrass band with his siblings called Top String."
It's been removed, for obvious reasons, but it's still funny.
Interestingly, Zach Top is opening for Alan Jackson's tour. Someone brought that up in the comments of the video, to which Andrews replied, "Nepotism running wild ???."
I wonder if they'll bring up the conspiracy while on tour. The conspiracy has gained some traction, but likely not enough for any acknowledgement.
