We've all been there. You click on a very clickable YouTube video -- probably something like "Top 10 Jim vs. Dwight Office Pranks" -- when all of a sudden an unassuming video on the "Up Next" playlist on the side catches your attention. So you watch that, too.

Next thing you know you have been watching YouTube videos for 3 1/2 hours and don't even remember why or how you started. Basically, YouTube is a black hole of entertainment. It is what it is and we love it for all its time-wasting glory.

Well, we recently experienced this phenomenon and ended up stumbling upon Caeleb Dressel's YouTube channel. It does not have very many videos and it is not updated often; however, the few videos we watched were golden.

A lot of college athletes -- especially swimmers -- on large campuses have scooters to help them get around town in a timely manner during their busy days. Well, that and because it's much easier than walking after a 3K kick set in the morning and a 6K IM threshold set in the afternoon.

So, Caeleb Dressel and company were kind enough to teach us the proper techniques and checklists for scooter safety.

This video is from 2015, by the way. What a gem.
