"You've got mail."

Ah, those three little words every '90s girl loved to hear.

If you were ever wondering whose voice was responsible for them, it's a nice dude named Elwood Edwards. He is no longer voicing AOL alerts, however. Instead, he has embarked on a new career as an Uber driver.

Brandee Barker, a former Facebook PR executive, wound up in his car, and couldn't help but film him saying his classic line.
