“Cockles of my heart” is an idiom that refers to the deepest part of one's emotions, FYI. I just wanted to clarify that. Let's break down the footage.

Just Another Day at the Office

The video opens with an Uber driver in Dallas picking up a passenger. They make polite small talk for a while before setting off to their destination.

This Guy Looks Familiar

After a bit, the passenger asks the driver his name before telling him they know each other. The driver looks in the rearview mirror, then turns around for a better look.

Where Have You Been All My Life?

After a beat, the driver realizes his passenger is his friend he has not seen for twenty years!

His face lights up like a Christmas tree as he reaches back to clasp hands with his long-lost buddy! Of course, as per usual the video cuts off too early, I would have loved to see more of that conversation.
