He didn't know you could access YouTube on those computers because YouTube wouldn't exist for 3.5 more years (Feb 2005).

If you were watching it on a computer it was probably something else. Maybe MSN or something.

Yeah I guess so. Some 2000’s internet video hosting

Remembering the internet before YouTube and Google is weird. Trading AIM screen names with the girls who'd talk to me. Good times.

Those late nights on AIM in high school are something I really miss. Putting up cryptic song lyrics in your away message, just hoping your crush would see them.

Yeah, putting cryptic song lyrics as my Slack status before stand-up just isn't the same.
