Speaker 1 (00:03):
Can you Find Love on a podcast? If you tuned
into the last two episodes, you heard Ashley going on
two dates with two different guys, and today we're back
for a second date with her favorite in love with
the same I'm with you. Hi, I'm Talia and I'm Becca,
(00:37):
and we are with three Day Rule Matchmaking. We're a
nationwide matchmaking company. We get to know you and what
you're looking for, and we set you up with the
highest quality matches. Today, we are so excited to welcome
Ashley back for her second date with Jeff. Hey, Ashley,
how are you? I'm good? How are you excited to
(00:59):
have you back on the show. We know your first
episode was a date with Jeff, the second was a
date with David, and you mentioned that you would like
to see Jeff again, and here we are. Yeah, it's
been good. I'm excited for today. When was the last
time you went on a second date with someone? Honestly,
I don't remember, maybe like four years ago. Most people,
(01:24):
most people don't get a second date, so I'm sure
Jeff will be honored. Any nerves, how are you feeling
before this day? Any questions for us? I guess I'm
curious to hear your advice. You guys have had really
good advice before going into the last few dates, and me,
I can get really in my head and I'm like,
(01:45):
oh gosh, it's a second date, Like what does that mean?
Like what us to come after this, and like thinking
too far in the future and stuff like that. So
I would love any tips that you all have on
mindset going into this. And yeah, I mean, I think
it's pretty similar to the advice that we gave for
the first date. Just try to be present and not
(02:06):
future think. What's helpful on the second date is just
to share a little bit more and to learn more
about Jeff, so you can move a little bit past
surface level conversations and get a little bit deeper. You
can ask about his childhood or share whatever you feel comfortable.
It doesn't have to be too much, but this is
a time to really get to know each other. Okay. Cool.
(02:28):
The beautiful thing is that you guys already know that
there's ease of conversation. It feels really natural to talk
to one another, so you don't really have to assess
for energy at this point. It's a good opportunity to
kind of practice the flirty skills that we taught to you.
If there's a moment to kind of flirt a little bit,
have some banter, it's always good to kind of incorporate
that in the second date if it feels right for you,
(02:51):
and you know, in terms of the pressure of like
where do we go from here? I always like to
view the first three to five dates as solely information gathering.
You're getting to know the person, You're getting to see
what their values are. They're getting to know what your
values are. So it's just an opportunity to gain more
information to see if there's a third date, and if
there isn't, just stay present and be your fun, bubbly
(03:12):
self exactly. Yes, keep it light and fun and just
be authentic, and we can't wait to debrief with you
after the date. Awesome. Yeah, that was very good advice,
So thank you for that. Okay, we're going to set
the stage for this date once again. We've ordered you
food and yes, this is a virtual date, but let's
imagine that you're in the same space feeling all of
(03:33):
those second date peels, ready to see if this conversation
could be the second of many more to come. Edward, here,
could you, like, I can only see the bottom half
of your face right now, I don't know. Yeah, the
angle of the cameras, like, okay, there we go. Okay,
(03:54):
oh I think we got it. Is that working? That's
that's the angle. That's great. Okay, it's fantastic. How's it
going good, dude? Good? Yeah? So this is You're back
at home, right You're on vacation. Last time we talked,
I was yes, and now I am back. So baby,
(04:15):
back in l A, back to work, back to life
per usual, life per usual. Yeah, yeah, you're back in
l A, land of the smoothies, like we're talking about.
That's literally the only thing that defines Los Angeles, of course,
is is the smoothies. Literally smoothie culture. Honestly, Like again,
I like, I love going out for a smoothe but
(04:36):
I also love making them at home. So I have
this crazy, crazy idea for this kind of second go around.
So we were talking about smoothie collaborations last time, and
you know, I think it'd be fun if we just
did our own Maybe if you want to make a
smoothie at your place and your kitchen right now, improvised
(04:58):
it completely, and yeah, then we have our own cole
Yeah by the end of it, we'll see if we
have something delicious or not. Okay, name comes later. For now,
I don't even want to preconceive it. Lee, just let's
just go in there. You want to try this, let's
try it. This should be uh, like in my freezer
currently looking at what's in here, and like, this should
be interesting. Okay, Yeah, what are you seeing right now?
Talk to me? What are we working with? Well, there's
(05:21):
some uncrustables. Great start, it's a great start. There's some
trader Joe's case. It is. My roommate does have some
green stuff and some frozen berries, so that might be
frozen berries and green stuff. Now we're never working, we're working.
Is there any are there any bananas in the house?
(05:42):
Banana is a good like foundation ingredient makes it thicker.
There's something that might be a banana, but it also
might be meat. I am, I'm sure, and I don't
know if I don't want to touch that unidentified object
of the fruit, sir, it's been there for years. Okay,
(06:05):
I will say. The options are for the milk that's
not milk. Okay, so yeah, there's no there's no milk,
but there's vanilla creamer. And there's prune juice. So okay, okay,
hear me out. Okay, we mostly do water, but maybe
just like a little bit of the prune juice, like
(06:25):
not enough to overpower it, but enough for it to
mike it there. Because if we have berries, a little
prune juice, and then we have what were the green things,
that's what we should do. What are the green things?
I love green stuff in my smooth? Oh yeah, the
green things fruit and veggie blenders. Wait, isn't that exactly
(06:46):
what we're trying to do? Are we trying to blend something? Yeah,
let's see it says pineapple. Oh wait, look at this,
all right, thanks John, We've got pineapple, banana, apple, kale,
sell ree, and it's in these cute little packets. And
I guess you just dumped in the smoother. Just add water,
juice or milk. We're doing this. I mean, there's still
(07:09):
the uncrustable and like some pizza that looks like it
wants to get blended. So oh my god, I'm almost
okay here, I'm almost curious about their crustable. Like okay,
just like I'm kind of like would be good. Well,
I put peanut butter and smoothies, and I know that works.
I just don't know about like the bread part. I mean,
would it be crazy if we just threw like what inerrant,
(07:31):
see what happened. We can see what happened. It's like
maybe not like the whole thing. Yeah, portion it comparatively
really Yeah, Oh this one's good. It's like using peanut butter.
Peanut butter and savia. Okay, there we go. Yeah, we
get a little peanut butter. It's some extra stuff in there.
I like this. Take one for the team. Thanks with roommate. Yeah, seriously,
(07:53):
shout out my roommate for being healthy. I guess let's
get it on the blender. Let's let's just get it
on the blender. Let's just get it in there. All right.
I'm terrified of the prone juice, but just like yeah,
that's why. Yeah, I just I feel like this smoothie
(08:15):
is going to do one of two things. Maybe that's
I am front squatting in an hour. Well, the last
thing I want to do is impact the job. You know,
like this is supposed to give you the energy or
get a deed after this in the Yeah, you know,
(08:39):
now this is a what is it like a cooking
video or whatever, a cooking TikTok or something like, hey, guys, yeah,
it's like all right, and now it's just very interesting
color scheme. Look, it's like oozing peanut butter. So it's
ready to go. Let's let's just do it. Oh yeah,
I think the incrustable half of that. Yeah, let's go
(09:00):
with you know what. Honestly, at this point, I'm accepting
that this movie is you know, why not. Oh man,
the water really does it. The water really does it. Yeah,
I shouldn't be enforced to endure at least looking at it. Yeah,
this literally looks like the bottom of a pond. Yeah,
(09:20):
that looks straight lake like. That is like l a river.
This is straight up the upside down, like Smoothieland I mean,
we have to at least blend it just to see
the final result. We came this far, we have to
at least see it the moment of truth. Moment of truth.
I'm scared. It looks a little better. It's got like
(09:53):
a good purplish color in there. All right, I'm I'm impressed.
The color of that is not what I expected it to
to be. So yeah, okay, yeah, I think the encrustable
might just be the flavor saver, like it just masks
everything else. We put it there, alright, a moment of
truth that scary. I'm scared for you. Don't go anywhere.
(10:19):
We'll be back after this short break. Okay, here we go.
It's actually pretty good. Oh my gosh, we did it.
(10:40):
Oh god, it's actually good. We improvised the smoothie for nothing.
Oh my gosh. It's a very peanut buttery. Yeah. Are
you a big fan of peanut butter. I'm a huge
fan of peanut butter, so that doesn't bother me too much. No,
I like peanut butter. I'm just surprised how much it
tastes like peanut butter. Okay, I would say peanut butter
(11:02):
and pineapple are the strongest two notes that I'm getting. Okay,
where can we get Where can we get a name
with peanut butter pineapple? But it's red, Like I don't know.
I kind of like the peanut butter savior. Yeah, peanut
butter savior, because well, you see, here's the point of
the smooth This is the pitch right when we go
to the smoothie shops or like, see, you can throw
(11:24):
anything you want in it exactly it tastes like peanut butter,
and that's the peanut butter savior. The uncrustable is doing
its job. But yeah, this is good. I wish you
could try it, I know. So that's what about the
final point for the smoothie. Are you going to finish it?
Or could you finish it? Even if you don't want
to know? I could. I could finish it. If this
(11:47):
was morning time and I made this, yeah, I would
drink it. I honestly might just save it for tomorrow morning. Well,
there we go and drink it, drink it, then mix
it with some because I'm like, well, I thought I
would is gonna want to toss it down the drain,
But now that I don't want to do bad, you
might as well save it. I think I'm getting another
awkward call about my food coming in the middle of this. Hold.
(12:09):
Let me see. It's actually a good time since we
finished this. Hello, all right, we'll be right out. Okay,
the delivery is here. Great segue to move on for
the smoothies. I'll be right back. We love that, alright, alright, alright,
(12:30):
I made it back with my delicious Thai food, which
would be delicious at any point yeah, I was gonna ask,
what did you get this time? Oh, so I definitely
went tie, I did something. I got something I never got,
which I tried to do a lot there at this
specific restaurant cause they have specials and this was a
it's like it's called a fouquet fish curry. Uh yeah,
(12:54):
and they also have one that's with like blue crab,
and I went with the fish one because blue crabs
sounded opplicated. Imagine me trying to eat krab legs, you know,
it was like, yeah, that would interest Yeah, I know
there are some things you like if you're like in
person day you're eating, You're like, okay, maybe not the
extra garlic and maybe got the crab. Yes, yeah, because
(13:18):
like the most direct thing around me is tacos and papoosas,
which I love. Like that to me is like if
I'm coming home late after work, like I don't want
to think about it, I can walk down the street
and there's like either a stand or a restaurant where
I can get those and obviously not the healthiest option,
but if I usually with when this happens, like I
(13:38):
eat healthy all freaking day and then I'm tired and
it's late I'm coming home from fourteen hour day on
set or something. I'm like, I'm just guess, I'm just
gonna eat these tacos and I'm gonna enjoy them and
I'm not gonna care. Yeah. No, I feel that. I
last week exclusively eight Dominoes pretty much every day because
(14:00):
as I had like three free pizzas from them, it
all had to be used within like a week. And
I was like, all right, Like, I guess I'm eating
Dominoes every day, so this week I'm not having Dominoes
every day to balance that one out. But yeah, I
totally get the like, oh, I'm not thinking about this
(14:20):
or anything like that. Um, when you were a kid,
did you guys like have like family meals or was
it kind of just like everyone ate like whenever, you know,
like it depended, but most of the time it was
a family meal. Like, I think it was my mother
who was really like even though she didn't do a
lot of the cooking, which is funny, like my dad
(14:40):
was the cook. My dad was a way better cook,
and I think most of the things I learned about
cooking we're from him. But I'll also say that neither
my mom or dad were very good cooks. I've become
a much better cook than both of them. But the
food that it was mostly my dad because he got
home earlier. And if it was up to my dad,
he would eat like immediately and just be like all right,
you guys, go eat now or something. But my mom's like, no,
(15:01):
we're all gonna sit down, we're all going to do
the thing. So yeah, if it's like if there wasn't
something going on that night, like if people were home,
we were eating together and it was going to be
like this is the time we get together where we're
going to sit here and you're going to talk to
me and we're going to talk about our day, you know,
like that kind of family thing where parents are like
trying to get you to talk. Like that was it.
(15:22):
It was dinner time where I couldn't run away. I
couldn't avoid the questions. Was it like that for you
to like like family meals bonding like that way or
like chaos. It was a little more chaos. My siblings.
We all did like different like sports and stuff like that.
So it was always just kind of like my mom
would be like, all right, the food's ready, and like
(15:43):
most times it was kind of like whoever was home
at the time would just like go make a plate.
Like we would like sometimes have like sit down family dinners,
but we never really had like a table for that
other than this like big table that was mostly for
like Thanksgiving or Christmas or stuff like that. So we
(16:03):
had like a kitchen bar and then there was another
smaller table. But there are six of us total, so
we would all just kind of like somewhat filter around there.
So yeah, I was never like all sit down talk
about the day stuff like that. But sometimes there'll be
like multiple of us and the kidsen at the same time,
so we kind of like chat then and then I'd
(16:25):
be like, all right, I mean that that explains it all.
You had five simpl no, no, no, four kids, four kids,
only four kids four but yeah six including the parents. Okay,
that's just a lot of people. Like I just think,
like we really it was just like me, little brother parents.
So and to think I don't know the stress that
I feel like my mother was just trying to collect
(16:45):
our plans and get me to sports and had to sports,
you know, like that to me seemed like a super
human feet. But then it's like people out here got
way more kids, right, yeah, and we were we were
all like three years apart, so it was like just
enough difference where not everyone can drive yet or like
(17:06):
you know, stuff like that. Where'd you fall in it? Older? Younger, middle,
I'm the oldest. Oh my older sibling energy yep, yep,
that's me. So I was the guinea pig. That's so true.
I say this all the time. I'm like, oh, it's
great you get to You made all the mistakes with me,
(17:27):
and you know now you can think you could you
could do version two point oh with him exactly except
that kind of I don't know if this happened to you.
My it was I got I always got so mad
watching my siblings get to do things that I couldn't,
Like I couldn't watch Harry Potter. And then one day
I came home my brother was just watching Harry Potter
(17:47):
on TV and my mom was like, oh, yeah, there
was like a Harry Potter movie marathon. I just said
you could watch it, and I was like, I couldn't
watch it, and that's my generation. And I was so mad,
like I was like I missed out, don't hire generation
bonding with my friends and it was that's so funny.
What it would be like rated T video games or something.
(18:09):
And I'm literally like eleven or twelve years old, Like
I'm like on the cusp of this age requirement, which
is completely arbitrary, right, And so it was like Tony Hawk, Like,
I'm six years old and I want to play Tony Hawk. Okay,
it's rated T because some dude like has some bloody
knees and I'm so mad that I can't play them,
like it's a children's game. Mom, But she doesn't. It
doesn't matter because she didn't understand, do you know what
video games were. It was just a big T. So
(18:32):
to her it's like, oh, that's like a it's like
a rated or show. I like, no, what's what are
we doing here? I like the big difference between the
two siblings here is that I was a rebel from
the very beginning and I did not like being told
what to do. I did not be told what to do,
and it would be so stupid, just like you know,
for me, I'd look back and I know how dumb
(18:54):
I was being for a lot of things. But it
was like, you know, just come home. It's like nine
o'clock or ten o'clock and I'm like, no, eleven o'clock,
that's the time people should be able to come home.
You know. I just had to be right, I had
to be different. And I think my little brother is
quiet interesting and I think then that my parents they
were also like, oh, like the thing is, it's like
(19:14):
if I did well in school, that was enough to
satisfy them. It's like, but I have a and they
were like, wow, yeah, that's the thing though, right, It's
like I have a's so that means I should be
able to not come home tonight or something. I'd be like, now,
that's not how it works. Yea. Literally, how many years
(19:35):
apart are you and your brother? Pretty significant compared to
a lot of people. Seven years, like like a big chunk,
like seven and a half years. So yeah, he just
turned twenty one, which is funny because again, like he's
not he was not the big, outgoing type, like drinking
(19:56):
is something that was already like, oh, I'm gonna guess
I'll go do that because I'm twenty one. And of course,
like when I was twenty one and much younger and dumber,
I was just it was just completely different. I was
just like, yeah, this is what big an adult is.
Let's go, I gotta take on the world in the
most extreme ways possible and you know, dive into every
(20:18):
literally try everything. When did you move out? Um of
your house? And like were you also let's say the
kind of person who couldn't get wait to get away
from their parents, because that was definitely me, Like I
could not wait to be on my own, to be independent,
to be free. Yeah. No, I was very independent, like always,
(20:43):
and I would always do just like random things that
my family was like, oh, like that's interesting. Um like
instead of doing like internships over the summer or stuff
like that, I would be like, I'm gonna go to
Africa for three months and like things like that because
I was like, I don't know, that seems more fun,
(21:04):
Like I only have this time once, so I'm going
to do that instead of a boring internship. And yeah,
I moved out after I guess like high school was
like the last time that I was there, and I
was so excited for college just to like be away
and like be again. Like it's like, oh, like I
can come home whenever I want now and no one's
(21:26):
gonna be waiting to tell me anything. And uh then naturally.
Now I'm like home at like seven, and I'm like cool, great, awesome,
liked to go to bed. It really the shifts, the
shifts are so true. Yeah, I have to move into
the doors. I have to not be here because I
was like the first to leave and all the stuff, Like,
I made a lot of mistakes that now I tell
(21:50):
my little brother to not do. And yeah, because of
my eagerness to run, like to get away. Yeah, but yeah,
I feel like I had there was a bit of
an explosion. I had to sort of get a lot
of things out. It makes some mistakes to learn some things,
and yeah, okay, this is back to here. Unfortunately we
(22:13):
are at times, so it's time to say our goodbyes.
I mean, Ship, it's been good talking to you. Seriously,
I've I've enjoyed it. Yeah, this was one fun I
mean from the smoothie to childhood independence, Like this is great.
I love it. Like you know, we can get to
anything anywhere about anything, and you know, ideally at some
(22:33):
point we just get to the real ship. It gets
the interesting ship, you know exactly exactly. But yeah, hey,
if you want to let's actually get smoothies. Yeah, let's
do it. Let's do it. Luckily we live at Hollywood.
We both technically live on these officidends of Hollywood, so
in between us are there's just so many options, you know,
like there's no shortage of places we could go to.
(22:55):
Oh yeah, plethora, cleathoral places. Okay, Ashley, if you can
take your headphones off for a second, we just want
to talk to Jeff privately. Thank you, goodbye, Ashley. This
is fun. Bye. Hey Jeff. Hey, we are so proud
(23:15):
of you, Jeff. You nailed it. That was so fun
to watch, from the smoothie challenge to showing interests. You
said it a couple of times, and we were so
proud of you. We're texting back and forth, yes, Jeff, Yeah,
you're You're too kind. It's it's funny to think about
(23:37):
this in terms of like improvement, you know, but it's true.
It's true, Like you guys gave good feedback last time,
you know, And I think it's good to like put
faces to like what a match faker actually is and
what you guys do, because clearly it helps. Oh, we're
so happy to hear that. Yeah, I honestly was so
proud of how you just really naturally put in there,
(23:58):
like we should go to smoothie shops sometimes time, and
you were really graceful about shifting into different topics. So
I just think you're really great about active listening and
all the things we talked about the first date, but
also just being assertive conversationally in a way that's very
warm and inviting. So turn out of ten, well done. Yes, amazing.
Love the energy between the two of you and how
(24:20):
comfortable and natural it was. And as Beca mentioned, like,
you definitely lead the conversation and you ask great questions
and you're able to shift between a totally like spontaneous
smoothie challenge to asking about childhood. So great range, and
it seems like there's a lot still to learn about
each other. So I'm so happy to hear that you
(24:42):
guys are going to go out again. That's uh, You're
just absolutely right. It was. It was the thing that
impacted most of said last time, like letting them know
you're having a good time and asking them I don't know,
just like we have to, we have to tell each
other at some point is this working. And maybe that's
the hardest part for me is to just ask it
or to say it, even if I know it's like
(25:03):
I feel it, So there you go. Yeah, it's interesting
because I think you both felt it was a good time.
But when you feel it and you don't say it,
it can lend for a plateau where you guys kind
of end up in the friend zone. So just being
able to verbalize it in that really cute, plateful way
it takes it to the next level and makes it known.
So it's sounds minimal, but it's so crucial to just
(25:25):
increasing the pacing of getting to know somebody. Well, we
can't wait to hear how the smoothie date goes. We're
here if you need any advice along the way, and
after this smoothe date, if there's a date for make
it an evening date, increase the romance. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
I'm always like first day. I know it's our first
to be a first day, casual daytime. Do something that's
(25:48):
an activity kind of next day, change it up completely. Yeah,
absolutely solid date, Great work, Jeff. Okay, thanks Jeff. Let's
invite Ashley back on. Hey, Ashley, how are you feeling
about how the date went? All tight? We're going to
be back in just a moment after this short break. Hey, Ashley,
(26:17):
how are you feeling about how the date went? I
am feeling good about it. It was so fun. It
looked so fun. I was laughing out loud on my end.
The Smoothie Challenge is amazing, and you guys even had
to be a team through it. You had to compromise
on the prune juice. You really worked well as a team,
(26:39):
So it's so fun to watch. Yeah, I'm glad. Yeah,
I love the Smoothie Challenge also because I feel like
it gave you guys a story. Like I feel like
when you go to work, you'll be thinking about this smoothie.
If when you drink the smoothe in the morning, you'll
be thinking about the challenge together. So I think creating
stories like that that you guys can laugh about in
the future is ah is so helpful in just building connection.
(27:02):
It was hilarious and repulsive to watch at times. I
feel you'd win a game show together, that's for sure. Yeah.
I love a good inside joke slash story. So I
like that he was using words like we yeah as
a t Yeah. I didn't pick up on that, so
(27:23):
that's fun. Yeah he did. He did it quite a
few times. I loved that, and then it was pretty
seamless going from this really spontaneous, playful challenge to getting
into more of childhood conversation. So I'm so happy that
you asked a question about dinner around the family table
so you could get to know a little bit more
about him exactly what we said on the last date,
just a little bit more on every date, so you
(27:45):
get to learn about each other. It's a great job there. Thanks. Yeah,
I second that. I was starting to be like, are
we going to talk about food this whole date? What's
going on? Let's plans the pace along, And right as
I was having that thought, you just really ins did
such a perfect childhood question there to get a little
bit deeper, and it brought you, guys to so many
different topics of childhood dynamics and siblings and what life
(28:08):
was like. So I thought you did such a good
job in incorporating that. And I think you just do
a really good job of going with the flow and
staying flirty and fun, but then you know, poking in
every once in a while to ask a deeper question
and get a little bit more vulnerable. So I I
love that you held both during this day. Yeah, I
was thinking the same thing. I was like, oh, no,
(28:30):
it's almost over and we've only talked about food. I
should ask that question. True. Really, I thought it was
a pretty perfect date. My only advice is because I
feel I have to always give some advice, is when
he said a few times like let's do a smoothie
date or at the end, I'd love to see you again,
(28:51):
you said let's do it, or yes, and so it
would be great if you were enthusiastic to just say
I would love to yes, like absolutely, let's do it.
So there's just a little more enthusiasm behind it. But
he got that you were interested, so you're you're good
to go out a third date. Cool. Cool, Yeah, that
is along with the light flirting the other thing that
(29:14):
I'm not good at. So I'm like sick. So that's improving. Yeah,
you're definitely improving. This is a, you know, a big
improvement from the first date, which was already so fun
to watch and you guys had so much banter. Awesome. Yeah,
just keep up the momentum, so hopefully you can see
him again sometime within the next week would be ideal,
(29:35):
but within the next two weeks if necessary, and in
the meantime, just setting a text that was such a
great activity, that was so thoughtful. I really enjoyed it
and look forward to our SMOOTHI adventures together or something
fun and playful like that. Nice awesome. Yeah, I love that.
Any questions or final thoughts, No, I think it was fun. Um.
(29:57):
The time passed really quickly, which for me is always
a good time that I'm not like looking at the
clock like gosh, like when is this gonna be over?
And yeah, I want to hang out again, and usually
I after like a second date, I'm like their mine like,
so yeah, I would say it was it was good.
I love it awesome. Actually, it's been such a pleasure
(30:20):
working with you, and we're fully invested in your story.
So I hope you'll keep us posted after your next
date with Jeff. But we've really enjoyed working with you,
just as we anticipated. You are a dream client. You
have learned and grown so much in just these three dates,
and we are so excited to see what comes of
(30:40):
this next day with Jeff. Yeah, thank you so much
for working with me. I feel like I've learned a
lot and it's definitely helped relieve any anxiety that I
might have around any like other first dates or things
like that, and I feel like it's helped me, hone
in on what are the important things to focus on
and wa are things that can be sorted out as
(31:02):
you go down the road. So definitely gonna be taking
this advice forward. And yeah, it's been fun to meet
new people as well. Thank you for listening. This is

(32:07):
love with you, I'm in love with you,
Can you Find Love on a podcast? If you tuned
into the last two episodes, you heard Ashley going on
two dates with two different guys, and today we're back
for a second date with her favorite in love with
the same I'm with you. Hi, I'm Talia and I'm Becca,
(00:37):
and we are with three Day Rule Matchmaking. We're a
nationwide matchmaking company. We get to know you and what
you're looking for, and we set you up with the
highest quality matches. Today, we are so excited to welcome
Ashley back for her second date with Jeff. Hey, Ashley,
how are you? I'm good? How are you excited to
(00:59):
have you back on the show. We know your first
episode was a date with Jeff, the second was a
date with David, and you mentioned that you would like
to see Jeff again, and here we are. Yeah, it's
been good. I'm excited for today. When was the last
time you went on a second date with someone? Honestly,
I don't remember, maybe like four years ago. Most people,
(01:24):
most people don't get a second date, so I'm sure
Jeff will be honored. Any nerves, how are you feeling
before this day? Any questions for us? I guess I'm
curious to hear your advice. You guys have had really
good advice before going into the last few dates, and me,
I can get really in my head and I'm like,
(01:45):
oh gosh, it's a second date, Like what does that mean?
Like what us to come after this, and like thinking
too far in the future and stuff like that. So
I would love any tips that you all have on
mindset going into this. And yeah, I mean, I think
it's pretty similar to the advice that we gave for
the first date. Just try to be present and not
(02:06):
future think. What's helpful on the second date is just
to share a little bit more and to learn more
about Jeff, so you can move a little bit past
surface level conversations and get a little bit deeper. You
can ask about his childhood or share whatever you feel comfortable.
It doesn't have to be too much, but this is
a time to really get to know each other. Okay. Cool.
(02:28):
The beautiful thing is that you guys already know that
there's ease of conversation. It feels really natural to talk
to one another, so you don't really have to assess
for energy at this point. It's a good opportunity to
kind of practice the flirty skills that we taught to you.
If there's a moment to kind of flirt a little bit,
have some banter, it's always good to kind of incorporate
that in the second date if it feels right for you,
(02:51):
and you know, in terms of the pressure of like
where do we go from here? I always like to
view the first three to five dates as solely information gathering.
You're getting to know the person, You're getting to see
what their values are. They're getting to know what your
values are. So it's just an opportunity to gain more
information to see if there's a third date, and if
there isn't, just stay present and be your fun, bubbly
(03:12):
self exactly. Yes, keep it light and fun and just
be authentic, and we can't wait to debrief with you
after the date. Awesome. Yeah, that was very good advice,
So thank you for that. Okay, we're going to set
the stage for this date once again. We've ordered you
food and yes, this is a virtual date, but let's
imagine that you're in the same space feeling all of
(03:33):
those second date peels, ready to see if this conversation
could be the second of many more to come. Edward, here,
could you, like, I can only see the bottom half
of your face right now, I don't know. Yeah, the
angle of the cameras, like, okay, there we go. Okay,
(03:54):
oh I think we got it. Is that working? That's
that's the angle. That's great. Okay, it's fantastic. How's it
going good, dude? Good? Yeah? So this is You're back
at home, right You're on vacation. Last time we talked,
I was yes, and now I am back. So baby,
(04:15):
back in l A, back to work, back to life
per usual, life per usual. Yeah, yeah, you're back in
l A, land of the smoothies, like we're talking about.
That's literally the only thing that defines Los Angeles, of course,
is is the smoothies. Literally smoothie culture. Honestly, Like again,
I like, I love going out for a smoothe but
(04:36):
I also love making them at home. So I have
this crazy, crazy idea for this kind of second go around.
So we were talking about smoothie collaborations last time, and
you know, I think it'd be fun if we just
did our own Maybe if you want to make a
smoothie at your place and your kitchen right now, improvised
(04:58):
it completely, and yeah, then we have our own cole
Yeah by the end of it, we'll see if we
have something delicious or not. Okay, name comes later. For now,
I don't even want to preconceive it. Lee, just let's
just go in there. You want to try this, let's
try it. This should be uh, like in my freezer
currently looking at what's in here, and like, this should
be interesting. Okay, Yeah, what are you seeing right now?
Talk to me? What are we working with? Well, there's
(05:21):
some uncrustables. Great start, it's a great start. There's some
trader Joe's case. It is. My roommate does have some
green stuff and some frozen berries, so that might be
frozen berries and green stuff. Now we're never working, we're working.
Is there any are there any bananas in the house?
(05:42):
Banana is a good like foundation ingredient makes it thicker.
There's something that might be a banana, but it also
might be meat. I am, I'm sure, and I don't
know if I don't want to touch that unidentified object
of the fruit, sir, it's been there for years. Okay,
(06:05):
I will say. The options are for the milk that's
not milk. Okay, so yeah, there's no there's no milk,
but there's vanilla creamer. And there's prune juice. So okay, okay,
hear me out. Okay, we mostly do water, but maybe
just like a little bit of the prune juice, like
(06:25):
not enough to overpower it, but enough for it to
mike it there. Because if we have berries, a little
prune juice, and then we have what were the green things,
that's what we should do. What are the green things?
I love green stuff in my smooth? Oh yeah, the
green things fruit and veggie blenders. Wait, isn't that exactly
(06:46):
what we're trying to do? Are we trying to blend something? Yeah,
let's see it says pineapple. Oh wait, look at this,
all right, thanks John, We've got pineapple, banana, apple, kale,
sell ree, and it's in these cute little packets. And
I guess you just dumped in the smoother. Just add water,
juice or milk. We're doing this. I mean, there's still
(07:09):
the uncrustable and like some pizza that looks like it
wants to get blended. So oh my god, I'm almost
okay here, I'm almost curious about their crustable. Like okay,
just like I'm kind of like would be good. Well,
I put peanut butter and smoothies, and I know that works.
I just don't know about like the bread part. I mean,
would it be crazy if we just threw like what inerrant,
(07:31):
see what happened. We can see what happened. It's like
maybe not like the whole thing. Yeah, portion it comparatively
really Yeah, Oh this one's good. It's like using peanut butter.
Peanut butter and savia. Okay, there we go. Yeah, we
get a little peanut butter. It's some extra stuff in there.
I like this. Take one for the team. Thanks with roommate. Yeah, seriously,
(07:53):
shout out my roommate for being healthy. I guess let's
get it on the blender. Let's let's just get it
on the blender. Let's just get it in there. All right.
I'm terrified of the prone juice, but just like yeah,
that's why. Yeah, I just I feel like this smoothie
(08:15):
is going to do one of two things. Maybe that's
I am front squatting in an hour. Well, the last
thing I want to do is impact the job. You know,
like this is supposed to give you the energy or
get a deed after this in the Yeah, you know,
(08:39):
now this is a what is it like a cooking
video or whatever, a cooking TikTok or something like, hey, guys, yeah,
it's like all right, and now it's just very interesting
color scheme. Look, it's like oozing peanut butter. So it's
ready to go. Let's let's just do it. Oh yeah,
I think the incrustable half of that. Yeah, let's go
(09:00):
with you know what. Honestly, at this point, I'm accepting
that this movie is you know, why not. Oh man,
the water really does it. The water really does it. Yeah,
I shouldn't be enforced to endure at least looking at it. Yeah,
this literally looks like the bottom of a pond. Yeah,
(09:20):
that looks straight lake like. That is like l a river.
This is straight up the upside down, like Smoothieland I mean,
we have to at least blend it just to see
the final result. We came this far, we have to
at least see it the moment of truth. Moment of truth.
I'm scared. It looks a little better. It's got like
(09:53):
a good purplish color in there. All right, I'm I'm impressed.
The color of that is not what I expected it to
to be. So yeah, okay, yeah, I think the encrustable
might just be the flavor saver, like it just masks
everything else. We put it there, alright, a moment of
truth that scary. I'm scared for you. Don't go anywhere.
(10:19):
We'll be back after this short break. Okay, here we go.
It's actually pretty good. Oh my gosh, we did it.
(10:40):
Oh god, it's actually good. We improvised the smoothie for nothing.
Oh my gosh. It's a very peanut buttery. Yeah. Are
you a big fan of peanut butter. I'm a huge
fan of peanut butter, so that doesn't bother me too much. No,
I like peanut butter. I'm just surprised how much it
tastes like peanut butter. Okay, I would say peanut butter
(11:02):
and pineapple are the strongest two notes that I'm getting. Okay,
where can we get Where can we get a name
with peanut butter pineapple? But it's red, Like I don't know.
I kind of like the peanut butter savior. Yeah, peanut
butter savior, because well, you see, here's the point of
the smooth This is the pitch right when we go
to the smoothie shops or like, see, you can throw
(11:24):
anything you want in it exactly it tastes like peanut butter,
and that's the peanut butter savior. The uncrustable is doing
its job. But yeah, this is good. I wish you
could try it, I know. So that's what about the
final point for the smoothie. Are you going to finish it?
Or could you finish it? Even if you don't want
to know? I could. I could finish it. If this
(11:47):
was morning time and I made this, yeah, I would
drink it. I honestly might just save it for tomorrow morning. Well,
there we go and drink it, drink it, then mix
it with some because I'm like, well, I thought I
would is gonna want to toss it down the drain,
But now that I don't want to do bad, you
might as well save it. I think I'm getting another
awkward call about my food coming in the middle of this. Hold.
(12:09):
Let me see. It's actually a good time since we
finished this. Hello, all right, we'll be right out. Okay,
the delivery is here. Great segue to move on for
the smoothies. I'll be right back. We love that, alright, alright, alright,
(12:30):
I made it back with my delicious Thai food, which
would be delicious at any point yeah, I was gonna ask,
what did you get this time? Oh, so I definitely
went tie, I did something. I got something I never got,
which I tried to do a lot there at this
specific restaurant cause they have specials and this was a
it's like it's called a fouquet fish curry. Uh yeah,
(12:54):
and they also have one that's with like blue crab,
and I went with the fish one because blue crabs
sounded opplicated. Imagine me trying to eat krab legs, you know,
it was like, yeah, that would interest Yeah, I know
there are some things you like if you're like in
person day you're eating, You're like, okay, maybe not the
extra garlic and maybe got the crab. Yes, yeah, because
(13:18):
like the most direct thing around me is tacos and papoosas,
which I love. Like that to me is like if
I'm coming home late after work, like I don't want
to think about it, I can walk down the street
and there's like either a stand or a restaurant where
I can get those and obviously not the healthiest option,
but if I usually with when this happens, like I
(13:38):
eat healthy all freaking day and then I'm tired and
it's late I'm coming home from fourteen hour day on
set or something. I'm like, I'm just guess, I'm just
gonna eat these tacos and I'm gonna enjoy them and
I'm not gonna care. Yeah. No, I feel that. I
last week exclusively eight Dominoes pretty much every day because
(14:00):
as I had like three free pizzas from them, it
all had to be used within like a week. And
I was like, all right, Like, I guess I'm eating
Dominoes every day, so this week I'm not having Dominoes
every day to balance that one out. But yeah, I
totally get the like, oh, I'm not thinking about this
(14:20):
or anything like that. Um, when you were a kid,
did you guys like have like family meals or was
it kind of just like everyone ate like whenever, you know,
like it depended, but most of the time it was
a family meal. Like, I think it was my mother
who was really like even though she didn't do a
lot of the cooking, which is funny, like my dad
(14:40):
was the cook. My dad was a way better cook,
and I think most of the things I learned about
cooking we're from him. But I'll also say that neither
my mom or dad were very good cooks. I've become
a much better cook than both of them. But the
food that it was mostly my dad because he got
home earlier. And if it was up to my dad,
he would eat like immediately and just be like all right,
you guys, go eat now or something. But my mom's like, no,
(15:01):
we're all gonna sit down, we're all going to do
the thing. So yeah, if it's like if there wasn't
something going on that night, like if people were home,
we were eating together and it was going to be
like this is the time we get together where we're
going to sit here and you're going to talk to
me and we're going to talk about our day, you know,
like that kind of family thing where parents are like
trying to get you to talk. Like that was it.
(15:22):
It was dinner time where I couldn't run away. I
couldn't avoid the questions. Was it like that for you
to like like family meals bonding like that way or
like chaos. It was a little more chaos. My siblings.
We all did like different like sports and stuff like that.
So it was always just kind of like my mom
would be like, all right, the food's ready, and like
(15:43):
most times it was kind of like whoever was home
at the time would just like go make a plate.
Like we would like sometimes have like sit down family dinners,
but we never really had like a table for that
other than this like big table that was mostly for
like Thanksgiving or Christmas or stuff like that. So we
(16:03):
had like a kitchen bar and then there was another
smaller table. But there are six of us total, so
we would all just kind of like somewhat filter around there.
So yeah, I was never like all sit down talk
about the day stuff like that. But sometimes there'll be
like multiple of us and the kidsen at the same time,
so we kind of like chat then and then I'd
(16:25):
be like, all right, I mean that that explains it all.
You had five simpl no, no, no, four kids, four kids,
only four kids four but yeah six including the parents. Okay,
that's just a lot of people. Like I just think,
like we really it was just like me, little brother parents.
So and to think I don't know the stress that
I feel like my mother was just trying to collect
(16:45):
our plans and get me to sports and had to sports,
you know, like that to me seemed like a super
human feet. But then it's like people out here got
way more kids, right, yeah, and we were we were
all like three years apart, so it was like just
enough difference where not everyone can drive yet or like
(17:06):
you know, stuff like that. Where'd you fall in it? Older? Younger, middle,
I'm the oldest. Oh my older sibling energy yep, yep,
that's me. So I was the guinea pig. That's so true.
I say this all the time. I'm like, oh, it's
great you get to You made all the mistakes with me,
(17:27):
and you know now you can think you could you
could do version two point oh with him exactly except
that kind of I don't know if this happened to you.
My it was I got I always got so mad
watching my siblings get to do things that I couldn't,
Like I couldn't watch Harry Potter. And then one day
I came home my brother was just watching Harry Potter
(17:47):
on TV and my mom was like, oh, yeah, there
was like a Harry Potter movie marathon. I just said
you could watch it, and I was like, I couldn't
watch it, and that's my generation. And I was so mad,
like I was like I missed out, don't hire generation
bonding with my friends and it was that's so funny.
What it would be like rated T video games or something.
(18:09):
And I'm literally like eleven or twelve years old, Like
I'm like on the cusp of this age requirement, which
is completely arbitrary, right, And so it was like Tony Hawk, Like,
I'm six years old and I want to play Tony Hawk. Okay,
it's rated T because some dude like has some bloody
knees and I'm so mad that I can't play them,
like it's a children's game. Mom, But she doesn't. It
doesn't matter because she didn't understand, do you know what
video games were. It was just a big T. So
(18:32):
to her it's like, oh, that's like a it's like
a rated or show. I like, no, what's what are
we doing here? I like the big difference between the
two siblings here is that I was a rebel from
the very beginning and I did not like being told
what to do. I did not be told what to do,
and it would be so stupid, just like you know,
for me, I'd look back and I know how dumb
(18:54):
I was being for a lot of things. But it
was like, you know, just come home. It's like nine
o'clock or ten o'clock and I'm like, no, eleven o'clock,
that's the time people should be able to come home.
You know. I just had to be right, I had
to be different. And I think my little brother is
quiet interesting and I think then that my parents they
were also like, oh, like the thing is, it's like
(19:14):
if I did well in school, that was enough to
satisfy them. It's like, but I have a and they
were like, wow, yeah, that's the thing though, right, It's
like I have a's so that means I should be
able to not come home tonight or something. I'd be like, now,
that's not how it works. Yea. Literally, how many years
(19:35):
apart are you and your brother? Pretty significant compared to
a lot of people. Seven years, like like a big chunk,
like seven and a half years. So yeah, he just
turned twenty one, which is funny because again, like he's
not he was not the big, outgoing type, like drinking
(19:56):
is something that was already like, oh, I'm gonna guess
I'll go do that because I'm twenty one. And of course,
like when I was twenty one and much younger and dumber,
I was just it was just completely different. I was
just like, yeah, this is what big an adult is.
Let's go, I gotta take on the world in the
most extreme ways possible and you know, dive into every
(20:18):
literally try everything. When did you move out? Um of
your house? And like were you also let's say the
kind of person who couldn't get wait to get away
from their parents, because that was definitely me, Like I
could not wait to be on my own, to be independent,
to be free. Yeah. No, I was very independent, like always,
(20:43):
and I would always do just like random things that
my family was like, oh, like that's interesting. Um like
instead of doing like internships over the summer or stuff
like that, I would be like, I'm gonna go to
Africa for three months and like things like that because
I was like, I don't know, that seems more fun,
(21:04):
Like I only have this time once, so I'm going
to do that instead of a boring internship. And yeah,
I moved out after I guess like high school was
like the last time that I was there, and I
was so excited for college just to like be away
and like be again. Like it's like, oh, like I
can come home whenever I want now and no one's
(21:26):
gonna be waiting to tell me anything. And uh then naturally.
Now I'm like home at like seven, and I'm like cool, great, awesome,
liked to go to bed. It really the shifts, the
shifts are so true. Yeah, I have to move into
the doors. I have to not be here because I
was like the first to leave and all the stuff, Like,
I made a lot of mistakes that now I tell
(21:50):
my little brother to not do. And yeah, because of
my eagerness to run, like to get away. Yeah, but yeah,
I feel like I had there was a bit of
an explosion. I had to sort of get a lot
of things out. It makes some mistakes to learn some things,
and yeah, okay, this is back to here. Unfortunately we
(22:13):
are at times, so it's time to say our goodbyes.
I mean, Ship, it's been good talking to you. Seriously,
I've I've enjoyed it. Yeah, this was one fun I
mean from the smoothie to childhood independence, Like this is great.
I love it. Like you know, we can get to
anything anywhere about anything, and you know, ideally at some
(22:33):
point we just get to the real ship. It gets
the interesting ship, you know exactly exactly. But yeah, hey,
if you want to let's actually get smoothies. Yeah, let's
do it. Let's do it. Luckily we live at Hollywood.
We both technically live on these officidends of Hollywood, so
in between us are there's just so many options, you know,
like there's no shortage of places we could go to.
(22:55):
Oh yeah, plethora, cleathoral places. Okay, Ashley, if you can
take your headphones off for a second, we just want
to talk to Jeff privately. Thank you, goodbye, Ashley. This
is fun. Bye. Hey Jeff. Hey, we are so proud
(23:15):
of you, Jeff. You nailed it. That was so fun
to watch, from the smoothie challenge to showing interests. You
said it a couple of times, and we were so
proud of you. We're texting back and forth, yes, Jeff, Yeah,
you're You're too kind. It's it's funny to think about
(23:37):
this in terms of like improvement, you know, but it's true.
It's true, Like you guys gave good feedback last time,
you know, And I think it's good to like put
faces to like what a match faker actually is and
what you guys do, because clearly it helps. Oh, we're
so happy to hear that. Yeah, I honestly was so
proud of how you just really naturally put in there,
(23:58):
like we should go to smoothie shops sometimes time, and
you were really graceful about shifting into different topics. So
I just think you're really great about active listening and
all the things we talked about the first date, but
also just being assertive conversationally in a way that's very
warm and inviting. So turn out of ten, well done. Yes, amazing.
Love the energy between the two of you and how
(24:20):
comfortable and natural it was. And as Beca mentioned, like,
you definitely lead the conversation and you ask great questions
and you're able to shift between a totally like spontaneous
smoothie challenge to asking about childhood. So great range, and
it seems like there's a lot still to learn about
each other. So I'm so happy to hear that you
(24:42):
guys are going to go out again. That's uh, You're
just absolutely right. It was. It was the thing that
impacted most of said last time, like letting them know
you're having a good time and asking them I don't know,
just like we have to, we have to tell each
other at some point is this working. And maybe that's
the hardest part for me is to just ask it
or to say it, even if I know it's like
(25:03):
I feel it, So there you go. Yeah, it's interesting
because I think you both felt it was a good time.
But when you feel it and you don't say it,
it can lend for a plateau where you guys kind
of end up in the friend zone. So just being
able to verbalize it in that really cute, plateful way
it takes it to the next level and makes it known.
So it's sounds minimal, but it's so crucial to just
(25:25):
increasing the pacing of getting to know somebody. Well, we
can't wait to hear how the smoothie date goes. We're
here if you need any advice along the way, and
after this smoothe date, if there's a date for make
it an evening date, increase the romance. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
I'm always like first day. I know it's our first
to be a first day, casual daytime. Do something that's
(25:48):
an activity kind of next day, change it up completely. Yeah,
absolutely solid date, Great work, Jeff. Okay, thanks Jeff. Let's
invite Ashley back on. Hey, Ashley, how are you feeling
about how the date went? All tight? We're going to
be back in just a moment after this short break. Hey, Ashley,
(26:17):
how are you feeling about how the date went? I
am feeling good about it. It was so fun. It
looked so fun. I was laughing out loud on my end.
The Smoothie Challenge is amazing, and you guys even had
to be a team through it. You had to compromise
on the prune juice. You really worked well as a team,
(26:39):
So it's so fun to watch. Yeah, I'm glad. Yeah,
I love the Smoothie Challenge also because I feel like
it gave you guys a story. Like I feel like
when you go to work, you'll be thinking about this smoothie.
If when you drink the smoothe in the morning, you'll
be thinking about the challenge together. So I think creating
stories like that that you guys can laugh about in
the future is ah is so helpful in just building connection.
(27:02):
It was hilarious and repulsive to watch at times. I
feel you'd win a game show together, that's for sure. Yeah.
I love a good inside joke slash story. So I
like that he was using words like we yeah as
a t Yeah. I didn't pick up on that, so
(27:23):
that's fun. Yeah he did. He did it quite a
few times. I loved that, and then it was pretty
seamless going from this really spontaneous, playful challenge to getting
into more of childhood conversation. So I'm so happy that
you asked a question about dinner around the family table
so you could get to know a little bit more
about him exactly what we said on the last date,
just a little bit more on every date, so you
(27:45):
get to learn about each other. It's a great job there. Thanks. Yeah,
I second that. I was starting to be like, are
we going to talk about food this whole date? What's
going on? Let's plans the pace along, And right as
I was having that thought, you just really ins did
such a perfect childhood question there to get a little
bit deeper, and it brought you, guys to so many
different topics of childhood dynamics and siblings and what life
(28:08):
was like. So I thought you did such a good
job in incorporating that. And I think you just do
a really good job of going with the flow and
staying flirty and fun, but then you know, poking in
every once in a while to ask a deeper question
and get a little bit more vulnerable. So I I
love that you held both during this day. Yeah, I
was thinking the same thing. I was like, oh, no,
(28:30):
it's almost over and we've only talked about food. I
should ask that question. True. Really, I thought it was
a pretty perfect date. My only advice is because I
feel I have to always give some advice, is when
he said a few times like let's do a smoothie
date or at the end, I'd love to see you again,
(28:51):
you said let's do it, or yes, and so it
would be great if you were enthusiastic to just say
I would love to yes, like absolutely, let's do it.
So there's just a little more enthusiasm behind it. But
he got that you were interested, so you're you're good
to go out a third date. Cool. Cool, Yeah, that
is along with the light flirting the other thing that
(29:14):
I'm not good at. So I'm like sick. So that's improving. Yeah,
you're definitely improving. This is a, you know, a big
improvement from the first date, which was already so fun
to watch and you guys had so much banter. Awesome. Yeah,
just keep up the momentum, so hopefully you can see
him again sometime within the next week would be ideal,
(29:35):
but within the next two weeks if necessary, and in
the meantime, just setting a text that was such a
great activity, that was so thoughtful. I really enjoyed it
and look forward to our SMOOTHI adventures together or something
fun and playful like that. Nice awesome. Yeah, I love that.
Any questions or final thoughts, No, I think it was fun. Um.
(29:57):
The time passed really quickly, which for me is always
a good time that I'm not like looking at the
clock like gosh, like when is this gonna be over?
And yeah, I want to hang out again, and usually
I after like a second date, I'm like their mine like,
so yeah, I would say it was it was good.
I love it awesome. Actually, it's been such a pleasure
(30:20):
working with you, and we're fully invested in your story.
So I hope you'll keep us posted after your next
date with Jeff. But we've really enjoyed working with you,
just as we anticipated. You are a dream client. You
have learned and grown so much in just these three dates,
and we are so excited to see what comes of
(30:40):
this next day with Jeff. Yeah, thank you so much
for working with me. I feel like I've learned a
lot and it's definitely helped relieve any anxiety that I
might have around any like other first dates or things
like that, and I feel like it's helped me, hone
in on what are the important things to focus on
and wa are things that can be sorted out as
(31:02):
you go down the road. So definitely gonna be taking
this advice forward. And yeah, it's been fun to meet
new people as well. Thank you for listening. This is
