John Johnson, 60, had booked an Uber for a ride to Dallas' UT Southwestern Medical Center. When his driver, Danny Blanton, 51, picked him up, what started as small talk quickly turned into a moment of joy.

As they exchanged pleasantries, Johnson felt a sense of familiarity.

"What's your name again?" he asked. Blanton replied, "My name is Danny."

That was the spark. Johnson then said, "I think I know you. You don't know me?"

Blanton glanced at the rearview mirror, then turned around to get a better look at his passenger. Recognition dawned on him, and he excitedly slapped hands with Johnson.

The two friends had a lot to catch up on; their friendship dated back to the late 1990s when Johnson was head of security and Blanton was a bartender at a Dallas nightclub.

During the ride, the friends reminisced about old times and shared memories of loved ones, some of whom have since passed away.

The reunion was such a special moment that Blanton decided to share it with the world. He posted the video of their emotional reconnection to TikTok, where it quickly went viral, garnering over 10 million views.

"We're both elated by it and to see all the positive comments that it got," Blanton said. "Just people saying, 'This is my favorite video,' and how many people have watched it… It's been positive."
