- Talk about taking the plunge! 53-year-old artist Dan O’Conor has jumped into Lake Michigan every single day for an entire year, earning himself the nickname, “The Great Lake Jumper.” In the early days of the pandemic, he started jumping near his home in Chicago, and before he knew it, he’d been going for 50 days. Not even the brutal Chicago winter could stop Dan, who shoveled snow to jump. He has amassed fans, and raised money for Chicago music venues that shuttered in the pandemic. #InsideEdition
This guy took the saying “Go jump in the lake” literally.
Lol😂
The saying came from this guy
🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️
I have never swam in a pool before because I grew up next to a lake
the fish in the lake: “seriously this guy again?”
Animals?😂
@Bota19 there could be other animals in the lake u never know 🤷🏻♀️ but i’ll change it to fish
@@ryujeeniez5221 Ik what oyu mean you never know but before this comment becomes one of those comments with a lot of drama best change it to fish 🙃
@@nezukokamado8266 alright, thanks ☺️👍
@@ryujeeniez5221 👍
Plot twist: His shower broke and this was the cheap and easy way to take a free bath.
How can a free bath not be cheap? 🤣
Cuz if it’s money then it’s expensive if he’s poor
@@OneOfManyJoels how if its broken
There is always twist...
@@OneOfManyJoels water bills idiot
Imagine asking to hang out and he says
“Sorry man gotta go jump in Lake Michigan”
I would be like “Wha-“
i love this lol, one man who just started something so pointless but then his dedication caught the people's attention and now they're joining him. What a legend.
He's basically Forest Gump
Yeah but who payed attention 🤔
@@good-content You beat me to it LOL
your username and pfp is actually really damn funny
'something so pointless' ahaha
🐟: “what’s up Dan”
“Sea y’a tomorrow”
Who is that Nemo or Dory!!!
@@jacquelinebailey3118 dory cause she’s blue and nicer😂
@William Zitting ehhhhh I’ll give u that one
Did you not hear, they said that was his final dive.
Lol 😂
Jumping into a frozen lake ... This guys is a savage!
Even a 🙍🏿♂️ can do it
Nevermind they can't swim
@@thatlittlegingerr he said even a Child can do it, how is that racist??
@@subscribeforgoodluck1806 they used a black emoji could be anything, I thought they meant a black person
I guess his body wants the water now. Like a fish outside the water
I just thought about a fav movie of mine Big Fish
@Animal_lover333
you the 333rd, you stole their name. >:(
like a body of water
Mermaid
The fish probably recognize him
Ikr lol
😂😂😂😂
Ha!
@XxVENOMxX what did they say?
@XxVENOMxX hi
We met again
Crazy or determined? Who cares doesn’t matter ! He’s doing what makes him happy and brought people together ☺️🙌
The fact that Lake Michigan is already cold in the summer and he jumps in in the winter is insane
How cold is it in the summer
@@contreras7880 like 40
So ......If this fellow was told to go jump in the lake it wouldn't be an insult? 😅
@jesus rodriguez your talking about Chicago probably in Michigan it is 40 I know cuz I live on the lake
As someone’s whos lived in Michigan their whole life, this man is pretty freakin bold lmao 9months out of the year that water colder than Jack Frost himself! Even in the first month of summer the water is still a lil bit chilly . I love the dedication though. Go off, Dan!😂🤿
Girl fr lol
@Alexandrea Hill *softly* dont
I wouldn't call water temps in the 70s still chilly, sounds like you just got sensitive skin.
I’m from Michigan too and thought the same exact thing haha
@@Atl-jv1kw clearly you’ve never been in Lake Michigan lol
I don't think he's crazy for doing that, don't lie everyone wants to jump in pool ever since the pandemic started
@Alexandrea Hill sounds pretty cool
@Alexandrea Hill ofc I don't live in Michigan I'm from another country :/
It's not like he will stay there for hours it's just one jump and he will get out like nothing happened
@@baconboysgaming2975 that one jump though in the wintertime feels like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body
I can’t swim so nah
@@XVNRX 💀😭
He's actually on to something here cold water does boost your immune system.
Reduces the chance of Alzheimer's as well
@@alexstroud4665 Really? I didn’t know that part. Just more motivation for me to cold shower ig. I swear I’m prolly gonna get early onset dementia at 30 with how much I’ve destroyed my brain’s grey matter with screens.
It’s amazing for the vascular system too. Crazy what the human body can handle!
@@BestKCL if we use our screen to much we get detentia? Get me informed on that cuz bloody hell I can’t stay mote then few hours away frm the phone
@@Shortss771 SAME and that scares me bruh

I love to see things like this. Just nice, wholesome content. No politics, no drama, just some good old fun.
I'm with you on that👍
He's still jumping till this day
He's jumping as we speak
@@DyslexicMitochondria Omg hi man I watch your channeI. Big fan of your viids
@@DyslexicMitochondria ooo a ytber i watch :D
this is no legend, this is the reality
Had been jumping for a year and hadn’t stopped since.
As a Michigander knowing that that lake is freezing, he’s a legend
Edit:omg I’ve never had this many likes! Tysm
I agree 💯 with kudo's to him BUT it's not LAKE SUPERIOR 😅🥶
@@KitaHolms yeah THANKFULLY
Millions of people take ice baths every single day. It's not remarkable
I mean...... It was covered in ice
I was born in Michigan but moved to Texas 😔 I had asthma it was really bad
“some people would call you crazy”
no. not really. if anything, its impressive.
it’s very impressive, even in snow?!??!?!
Dude started a whole party for jumping in the water what a legend right there
I can't believe this many people found this interesting at... 7:21 am. But this guy is a legend!
Well, it's 8:30 here. lol
Hahaha, we all have different time zones.

Best comment
Bro I died reading this
The Great Lake Jumpers
"Dan, some people might call you crazy"
Me : Crazy COOL!!!
It's so refreshing to see people deriving joy from the simplest of things
this is what I like to see, something that brings smile not sadness
Agreed!
Agree 💯
We need more of this on inside edition
He’s definitely not crazy, I take cold showers for that feeling he chases
Not the same thing
@@lmao2351 they weren't saying it was. Lol
I end every shower with about 30 seconds to a min of cold water. It's supposed to be good for your cardiovascular system. Whether that's true or not it's a great way to jump start your day!
@@that.ll_do_pig that’s a good buzz, you wanna get a good buzz, before you try nicotine, jump into an ice bath, that’ll make you feel alive af
CZcams: have you ever seen a guy jump into a lake every day for a year?
Everybody in 2021: uh, no
CZcams: **would you like to**
Underrated comment 😁
Lake’s like: “Here we go again....”
I feel like an astronaut in the ocean
Its such a coincidence ya know?
Just finished listening and then this?!?!
Dang life is soooooo random
"WhAtChU kNoW aBoUt RoLlInG dOwN iN tHe DeEp?"
WHEN YOUR BRAIN GOES NUMB YOU CAN CALL THAT MENTAL FREEZE
I'm putting an end to the two comments above me immediately
@@endertobias1908 u noob !1!1!1!
Hats off to him! It takes some true dedication to do this everyday, especially in the frigid winter when the lake is nearly frozen.
This is the kind of wholesome news we need. Getting so tired of all of the hell and chaos and finger pointing and anger. Bring on more of this.
"If I had thin skin, I wouldn't be jumping in the lake in January and February"
Absolutely legendary line
Dan: *jumps in the lake
The fish: Oh, hey guys, it’s Dan! What’s up?
Here Before this blows up
Lol
Lol
Sébastien and Ariels singing probably gets interrupted every single time when he jumps in
The voice actor for Sebastian died a couple weeks ago
@@chamberlainallman3242 i know 😢
I read the title as: “man jumps like a magician every day for a year” 😂😭 I need sleep
Ok but wtf is ur pfp??
I want to know what is going on with your pfp as well, lmao. What is that?
I reported him
You need to change that pfp...
Wtf, please change your pfp
Plot twist: his girlfriend is a mermaid 🧜♀️
This comment is way too underrated
@@toystories235 ☹😕
Tom Hanks if he never stayed in shape.
Lol
Unrated
Legends say he's still jumping till this day.
He should meet up with the guy who went to Disneyland everyday for 2000 straight days.
Guy was Jeff Reitz
Sounds utterly and completely miserable
It must have been before my stupid governor, Gavin Newsom, closed Disneyland for over a year, hurting employees at Disneyland at at all the hotels and restaurants. So unnecessary to close it that long.
The piranhas recognized him and didn’t want to basically kill him.
This is America not Brazil
Yeah no pirahnas no sharks no crocs. Just ally's down south the great lakes? Shiii lucky if you saw a stick move in the winter.. Haha
Nothing is in that lake. Besides some fish. The biggest would probably be salmon and they don't get near people
Nobody:
Fish: “uh oh y’all, it’s four o’clock. Assume positions!”
This guy is a legend
Dis Dude Needs🅰️Job(IMPO)!
Dylan Phillips lol just commented than on another vid
Gregory Williams ye
The best part about being a news reporter is they never expect what they would be doing reports on 🤣
Fishes: "Oh that's Dan, don't mind him."
The fishes: "Move boys, Dan do it again"
Legends say he's still jumping.......
Wait actually¿?😶
Can’t wait for this to be taken out of context
"If you're having a bad day, just jump on a lake"

How do you jump on a lake? I only know how to jump in one
You mean "Sun Tzu?" The art of war.
This is so rad. Love that community spirit at the end
I love how so many people just came together to cheer him on throughout the year. I mean, why not?
Fun and positive!
He’s kinda like a real life Forest Gump, doing something out of the norm, & gaining a cult following while doing it.
@Jesse Jackson exactly. And the simple minds of humans think this story is worth making.🤣ironic
@Jesse Jackson My mama says that stupid is as stupid does.
@Jesse Jackson lmao
@Jesse Jackson the whole things weird, how do you do something like this everyday for a month, & not realize you’ve been doing it everyday?
@Jesse Jackson right? Who thinks “hey, this guy needs music for his dives”, if you can call it that?
I love this. He encouraged the community to enjoy what nature has to offer them, have fun and be happy in the simple way 💙
This level of commitment to one thing is inspiring
yo everyone jumping in lit af man. see just work towards anything and people will fw you in the end man no matter what.
The last part is so wholesome....
We can make a religion out of this
You only need 3 people
If Scientology did it,why not?

This made me so happy! More news should be like this :) More people should be like this! I love his supporters and how they all joined him!
That Is So Awesome! Hugs To Everyone!!
Now that's a story I would like to hear more often. It's happy and not depressing. This story gives me hope.
Dedication at its finest
Haha that's dope!!! I love how everyone joined and supported him!
This was beautiful! I support his tough skin!
I love how something so simple has brought so many together. ❤ My fav...when everyone joined in the jump!
That lake is surprisingly clean
pfffft lol you think that
Cause it’s Lake Michigan. It’s bigger than some seas. Basically an ocean
No it’s not you’d know if you lived in Chicago
@@oliverosemoon4815 it's literally clean in the vid. It's probably dirty elsewhere but where hes swimming it's definitely clean lol
@@yobb1n544 no shes being serious. I visit the city everyday and I can attest it's very dirty
You do something for you and continue doing it with a passion, someone is gonna start following you
What a fun and random way to bring people together, however unintentional that part may have been! ❤️
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🎈
Hmmm yes 🤔
Brain disease
If there was a person of the year AWARD he would get it for sure. Does anyone else agree?
I agree to that
I most definitely agree! 😊
Such a wonderful story and I love that the spectators joined the fun. Memories for a lifetime. What have you done today that is good hearted and fun?
He’s correct! Every time you jump into it, it’s always refreshing!
man literally can fly now
Dude, if you ever been to Lake Michigan, it’s only above 70 degrees a handful of times a year; and the rest of the time it’s less than 50. I can barely stay in that water for 10 minutes.
That’s so cool that others joined in.
That’s fire, just be careful in the winter
How do you do that in the winter when its frozen over? Oh, nevermind it shows him shoveling away.
People: coping the man who started it
Shark: so I see you’ve chosen death
gotta watch out for them lake sharks
I actually seen this guy sometime during the pandemic last year and he seemed nice, I didn't talk to him but he was very sincere to others.
love seeing this. he had a good time & thats fkn GREAT!
Me who goes to school and not miss a day :"my life is a scam"
Legend has it, he’s still jumping to this day…
love 💘 it... sometimes you can't change your circumstances but you can change your perspective. Always carry a positive mental attitude!
What a happy man, good for him ♥️
So that’s why my water tasted salty
YO BRO GOT NO CHILL 😂
Had that aftertaste of skin coating your mouth
I'd love to jump into that icey lake right about now.
I agree with your comment and your username
This is so freakin cool. Love it. Gave me chills. Very inspiring in general
He’s crazy. Crazy awesome!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hope there is no shark on the sea.
Thats a lake
nope too cold for sharks in lake michigan
Fish: there’s lake guy again
Tons of ppl jumping in
Fish: oh no
Thanks for sharing, it's wonderful having colorful people around.
Chicago and it's great lake just bring me so much joy. I hope to visit or even live there again one day.
yeah but flying only happens in cartoons or movies . maybe if he keeps it up he will fly lol
Twomad’s “Dumping mom in local lake” but replace the “mom” with a random man.
Am smiling 😃😊. This made my day. All the way from USA 🇺🇸 to Swaziland 🇸🇿😀👏😄
This is so wholesome.
He took the phrase "go jump in a lake" literally 😂
This is the kinda stuff that just really makes me believe in society again… ❤️
Gotta love stories like this
Crazy 365 days and a whole community joined! Amazing what one person can do!! And impact they can make!
Legend says he’s still jumping in everyday
The Great Lakes freeze solid during the Winters that man is Crazy !
Laughs in swedish
Not necessarily
Crazy the things that brings the community community together.
as a person who lives in chicago, the water is really cold. i admire his dedication.
