All language subtitles for Three.Dates.To.Forever.2023.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP2.0.H.264-FLUX

Good morning, L.A.
You're listening to.

On the Move with
Maddie McKenzie.

Temperatures are pushing
85, and traffic is,

well, bumper to bumper
as usual on the 101.

But we're still here to
bring you the lowdown

of what's happening
in the City of Angels.

As always, I'm
joined in the studio

with my producer Bea Brooks,

and for the next two weeks,
we're coming at you live

from beautiful Silver
Lake in central L.A.,

home to the first Hollywood
movie studio in 1909

and still one of the best places

to catch a celebrity
enjoying some downtime.

It's a beautiful day to be out,

so if you see our mobile studio,

give me and Bea a wave.

And on the flip side of this,

we're talking online dating.

This is lifestyle news
with Maddie McKenzie

for everyone out there,
baby boomers to Gen Z.

Hey, how was your
date last night?

Oh, almost as good as
this is gonna taste.

- High praise.
- Ehh.

You know, single guys
always have single friends,

and we should so
be double-dating.

Shows before bros, Bea.

All work and no play.

Look, when the right guy
comes along, I will know it,

and I will not need a
dating app to find him.

Besides, after all the work

that I've been doing for
this show, modern dating

seems like a headache I
can totally do without.

Well, as your producer,
I admire your dedication.

Thank you.

But as your best friend,

I do wish you would just

cut loose a little bit.

And I don't mean reading an
extra chapter of your book

before bed tonight.

I've had my heart broken
too many times in this city.

Not everyone can find
true love in L.A.

You never know.

Online dating.

We want to hear
from you, Angelinos.

I want to know your best
and worst experiences,

the good, the bad, and the ugly,

from cocky Casanovas
to crafty catfishers.

Bea, you've got some experience
with this, don't you?

Oh, yes. I could tell
you some stories, Maddie,

but let's save it until
we're off the mic.

Party pooper.

Now, I know you're a skeptic
when it comes to this,

but I want to get your
take on a new dating app.

Yet another?

It's called TripleDate.

It was developed
right here in L.A.,

and it's already got a lot
of test users in the city.

It's been getting some
real interesting attention

on social media.

How interesting.

Get this. TripleDate
claims that it can find you

true and everlasting love
in... Are you ready for this?

- Go ahead.
- Three dates.

Okay, that is clearly insane.

Well, according to its designer,

the app has a revolutionary
A.I. algorithm

that is always one
step ahead of the user

and evolves as you put
information into it.

So you're trying to tell
me that the app knows

who you want to
date before you do?

Pretty much.

And who is this designer?

His name's John Reed.

You might recognize him from
some of his online videos.

He was the one that
programmed his microwave

to play the national anthem.

Classy.

I mean, it got 2 million views.

Yeah, well, something tells
me I'm not in his demographic.

Well, the real question is,

do our listeners
believe in this app's

three-date, true-love guarantee?

John!

Hey!

- Mom just called.
- She okay?

She's fine. But you know that
radio show that she loves?

I get it. Everyone
dates online these days.

But whatever happened
to good, old-fashioned,

face-to-face conversation?

This John Reed guy sounds
like he should really

just stick to
musical microwaves.

Tell me what you
really think, Maddie.

Did we just get roasted
by Maddie McKenzie?

This TripleDate is clearly

either a joke or a con.

Like that, you mean?

But tell me what you think.

Remember, we're here
broadcasting live

from Silver Lake all week.
We're looking to hear from...

I hate to say it,

but she probably speaks
for a lot of people.

TripleDate is amazing,

but it does sound
too good to be true.

That's because nobody's ever
done anything like this before.

Yes, but we're over a week
away from the national launch,

and we still haven't secured
an investment partner!

All right.

Level with me.

How are we looking financially?

We have enough money to make
it to the launch of the app.

- That's only a week away.
- Mm-hmm.

What happens after that?

There is no after that.

Seriously? Why
didn't you tell me?

Since when did a big brother
listen to his sister?

Okay. Wh-What can I do?

You and I know

that you created this
app for a good reason.

We just need the rest of
the world to believe it,

and they need to get behind
somebody that they can trust.

Well, I made a bunch
of funny videos

that people loved, right?

I mean, that raised our profile.

Financial backers are
looking for something

a little more substantial than
star-spangled French fries.

You need to make them believe
that this is a serious company

and that you're
serious about it.

Right.

- I've got a great idea.
- John.

Looks like a lovely day for a
run around the neighborhood.

What are you planning?

What are you planning?

Whatever you do, if
you could just please

just run it by me first.

I don't care how advanced

your technology and hardware is.

You can't reduce
relationships to binary code.

Well, that rant was
only five minutes.

Next you'll be telling us

you have a real strong
opinion on this.

And we've got our first caller.

Dave, you're on the line.

Hi, Maddie?

First-time caller.
Big fan of the show.

And I've gotta say
that you are so right

about these dating apps.

I've been on dozens
of online dates,

and I don't want to think
about how much it's cost me,

and I'm still no nearer
to finding the one.

Uh, but while we're talking,

I-I don't suppose
you're single, Maddie.

Oh. Thank you, Dave.

I'm flattered, but I'm gonna
have to cut you off there.

And now we're
transitioning to the news.

Hey, can I help?

Hi. Yeah, I'm a big
fan of the show,

and I was just listening to it.

I know Maddie was
asking for callers,

but, uh, I was passing by,

and I've got quite
a bit of experience

in the world of online dating.

Really? Is that where
I know you from?

Maybe.

You look really familiar.

Well, I mean, I also live around

the neighborhood.

Okay, one second.

Who's the guy?

A listener, apparently.

Who has a lot of experience
with online dating.

Did you do a preinterview?

- Yeah.
- Bea, come on.

You know I don't like
when there's a guest

in the studio, I
don't have any notes.

Maddie, you and I have known
each other since high school.

In all those years, have
I ever steered you wrong?

Really?

Okay, repeatedly, but
that's not the point.

The point is, for the show,
I know what's best, okay?

Okay.

- Good to go.
- Yeah?

- What's your name?
- Oh. John.

I'm Bea. Follow me.

John, this is Maddie McKenzie.

- Hi.
- Maddie, John.

Thanks for letting
me on your show.

Oh, no problem.
Here. Take a seat.

- Okay.
- So you've got something

to say about online dating?

I think so. For starters...

Oh, let's, uh, save
it for the air.

Oh, I will.

And we're back.

Talking about online
dating and dating apps.

Joining us in the studio

is a listener with some
experience on this.

Hi, L.A.

I heard you talking
about TripleDate.

Oh! You know it?

- I know the designer, too.
- John Reed.

What do you think he'd
make of today's show?

Well, I think that he'd want
to speak to you in person.

In fact, he'd probably talk
his way past your producer

by telling her he was
a big fan of the show

and then sit in
this exact chair.

Pleased to make your
acquaintance, Maddie McKenzie.

And yours. John Reed?

Hello again, Los Angeles.

All right, let's do this.

Mr. Reed, you claim to
find users true love

in three dates. You
can't be serious.

Well, Ms. McKenzie, if
you're gonna stand out,

you need to offer
something no one else can.

Okay, so how does it work?

First you take our
unique personality quiz.

Then you're matched
up with someone.

If you both accept,
that's date one.

Our app even
suggests an activity

based on your personalities.

Doesn't sound revolutionary.

Well, the revolution
is in the technology,

but judging by the things
you've been saying,

I don't think technology
is your field of expertise.

And what do you think my
field of expertise is?

Oh, I don't know.
Jumping to conclusions?

Doesn't every new
app claim it's got

some fancy tech that
makes it unique?

Well, if you're so convinced
that TripleDate is a con,

like you said, why don't
you join the test group?

That's an amazing idea.

Maddie, you're single and
ready to mingle right now.

Shocking.

But if your app is
in the test phase,

then that's not a lot
of users to link with.

How is anyone supposed to
find their ideal match?

Well, we've already got
10,000 users in the L.A. area,

and obviously they have
something in common,

because they were all
adventurous enough

to sign up to begin with.

I'm guessing you've already
found your soul mate, John.

Well

no, not exactly.

Shocking.

It gets better.

Okay, but Maddie
should definitely

give TripleDate a try,
since she's so desperate

to prove it doesn't work.

I don't think anyone
wants to hear me

navigating the L.A. dating scene

with your app as my guide.

Actually, Maddie,
I think they might.

We're getting a lot of
social media buzz right now.

767 tweets already?

780? I think our listeners
want you to give this a go.

See?

Both of you.

- What?
- What?

So why don't you go home

and fill out your
profiles tonight

and then come back
on tomorrow's show.

I already have a title for this.

"The Three-Date Challenge."

Okay, you know we're on
air right now, right?

Like, people are
actually listening?

- Uh-huh.
- I'm game if you are.

And I can say whatever
I'd like about your app?

Sure.

All right. You've got
yourself a deal, John Reed.

Great show.

Well, for the record,

that was a fantastic interview,

and it's got us buzzing big time

on social media right now.

This is exactly what we
need to get our numbers up.

You never cared about
our ratings before.

I'm a producer.

I'm always worried
about ratings.

- I just don't tell you.
- Okay.

But now you are?

All right. I was waiting
for a better moment, but...

Max Kenton, our station CEO,

has emailed all the
network producers.

And?

He's got an open slot
for national syndication!

- Bea, are you serious?
- Yes!

If this happens,
everything changes for us.

- Oh, my gosh.
- We can finally have

the show we've always
dreamed since college.

I mean, we could have
a proper studio...

- Yes.
- And you could even have

that book review segment
you've always wanted.

Oh, "A Reading Frenzy
with Maddie McKenzie."

Okay, well, that title
definitely needs work, but...

So in order to get that,

I need to spend more
time with John Reed?

Eh...

Okay, I guess we
gotta go for it.

Finally my folks
can be proud of me.

Come on, Bea. They already are.

Yeah, but being a small-time
local radio producer

isn't exactly exciting news.

Being a nationally
syndicated radio producer,

on the other hand,
now, that's a story.

Do you remember our
college radio show?

Oh, yes. The 2 A.M. slot.

I think we had a peak of about,

uh, five listeners
that one time.

National syndication could
multiply that by a million.

We can do this.

There is one other
thing, though.

What?

I heard a rumor from
Max Kenton's P.A.

that he might be axing

some of the less popular
shows altogether.

Okay. Well, then better
download this app.

National syndication.

Are you kidding me?

And we'll be going
live across the country

in just a few days. Mm-hmm.

Hold one moment, please.

John.

I heard you on the radio.

And I hate to admit it,

but one of your stunts
has finally paid off!

I'm sorry. I didn't
quite catch that.

Did you just say your
big brother was awesome?

Yes! We have had a 500%
increase in web traffic,

and the phone has
been ringing nonstop.

Really?

You and Maddie McKenzie
are a hit together.

Well, didn't we just argue?

And people loved it.

You're going back to do
the Three-Date Challenge.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no. That is not happening.

I was just making a joke.

John, if we don't get financial
backing for TripleDate,

we will be the joke.

You've already signed
everything you own into this,

and if we want this app to work,

we need exposure.

And Maddie McKenzie
can provide it.

Does it have to be her?

She is a professional, and
she comes across as one.

You could learn from that.

Ohh!

Harsh.

Hi. So I'm back.

Ow.

I'm on the phone.

Mm-hmm.

That Maddie McKenzie's right.

My son spends months
developing a dating app,

yet doesn't use it.

- Eesh.
- Oh, honey.

You know all your
father and I ever wanted

was for you to be happy.

I am happy, Mom.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Well

wouldn't it be nice to
have someone special

to bring to your birthday?

Bring them to what?

I told you I wanted to
keep it casual this year,

you know, not a big fuss.

Which is precisely why he
doesn't have a girlfriend.

All right, leave
your brother alone.

It's true.

Although your sister's right.

It is true.

Okay, why are all the
women that I meet today

giving me such a hard time?

Well, I can only
speak for myself,

and I know that you deserve
someone really special,

so hopefully doing this
show with Maddie McKenzie

will help you find her.

Now can we dig into that lasagne

and see if it's as
good as your app?

You mean full of bugs?

Really?

- Really really.
- Really really?

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, come on. Let's
get on with it.

National syndication.

Fine.

Okay.

Profile picture.

Mm!

My specialty. I'll handle that.

It's only a picture.
Just take it.

Only? This is the billboard
on Main Street to Date Town.

Oh. My hair looks terrible.

Okay, one more.

I thought you didn't care.

My left ear is at a funny angle.

I can't help that.

- I meant in the photo.
- Oh.

All right, take another one.

This is your high
school yearbook picture

all over again.

I think it's the outfit.

Let's try again in the morning.

Cute.

Thank you.

Ehh.

There's gotta be one in
there that we can use.

At least two.

What's next?

Okay.

The personality questionnaire.

Mm-hmm.

Mm. Oh, that's a
lot of questions.

What does it want,
my life story?

We have to give
this app a fair try.

Do we, though?

Yes!

L-Let's just skip
the quiz for now.

Ooh, the profile.

Okay, this is what
I wanted to see.

What are you gonna put?

Um...

Just sell yourself.

Well, I mean, I enjoy

well, I enjoy work.

Ugh. There's more
to you than that.

All right, I

like books.

You can't date a book, Maddie.

Don't think I haven't tried.

Okay, what else do I like?

Um, all right, yoga.

Okay, well, it's a little
early for champagne.

Thank you.

But I thought we could
celebrate our success.

Your worst interview
ever got picked up

by dozens of blogs yesterday.

I know you don't
care about that,

but maybe you'll be
impressed by this.

We got featured on a news site.

We've hit the big time now.

I mean, it is just a start,

but maybe Max Kenton
will see this.

Thanks, radio producer.

Are you sure you're not
nervous about today?

No. No, it's just

it's one thing to
co-host a segment,

but to have to go
on these dates...

I don't know what
you're worried about.

I mean, either the
app doesn't work

and you get to prove him wrong,

or it does work and
you get a great guy.

I mean, win-win.

- Morning.
- Morning.

This is my sister Mel.

She handles all the
important stuff.

Don't worry. I am
nothing like him.

Glad to hear it.

All right, come on.
We got a show to make.

Oh.

This is our first
live test of the app.

Don't mess it up.

I've got this.

You know my brother can be
a bit of a joker, right?

Oh, we know.

Maddie can handle him.

So I thought that
these would be useful.

There's some notes, talking
points, bits of trivia.

Nah. I like to keep
it more loosey-goosey.

You know, it's better that way.

If that's okay with you.

Sure.

It's more fun that way, right?

Like... Like yesterday.

Yeah, fun.

Okay, this might be the
way old media works,

but I'm used to a more
fast-paced online culture,

know what I mean?

I know exactly what you mean.

And we're back with
our special guest

in a new segment, the
Three Date challenge.

Yesterday, as I'm
sure you remember,

John Reed, inventor
of the TripleDate app,

surprised us on the show,

and he's here again.

Welcome back, John.

Couldn't keep away.

As we were saying yesterday,

your app claims to
find users true love

in a remarkable three dates.

Or your money back.

So we thought it would be fun

to put the app to the test,

so both John and I
have created profiles,

filled out the questionnaire,

and we're gonna see what
the app has in store for us.

Are you ready?

I was born ready.

Okay, so take out your phone.

We're gonna hit the heart
emoji at the same time.

Okay, it's finding a
match. Shouldn't take long.

Well, my first match

is with John himself,
so that can't be right.

- Hah! Yeah.
- Decline.

Okay, glitches can
happen in the, uh

in, you know, the test mode.

Uh, maybe Maddie's using
an older version of the app

to go with her ancient phone.

Well, who have you got?

Okay.

Some guy named Kevin.

Just looking at his profile,
he has a nice picture.

A surgeon.

Nice. Now he has to
accept you now, okay,

and, uh, it might take a while,

because he's got to find
your profile and read it...

Oh, okay, so he accepted.

Okay, the app's suggesting
that we go to an old bookshop,

and it's given us the activity

of finding each other the
perfect book as a gift.

Aww. That sounds so nice.

I mean, we all know how
much you love books.

Ah, you see? The app is
figuring you out already.

What about you, John?

Ah.

Jenny.

Senior partner at
a big law firm.

I'll be clicking "yes, please."

As you said, it could take
a while for her to accept.

That is, of course...

- Oh!
- If she even does.

- Yeah, she's accepted.
- Oh.

And we'll be riding
scooters in the park.

Makes sense. You know, we're
both motivated go-getters,

and electric scooters are
all the rage right now.

Very on-trend.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, that went a lot
better than I thought.

I told you. She's a pro.

Yeah, that was fun.

Yeah? Right. Told you.

Loosey-goosey.

So loose...

Just the way I like it.

- Had to be a glitch, right?
- I don't... That's your side.

This is free advertisement,
so we're gonna go online.

- I need you to be nice.
- Nice?

- Face it. You're...
- But she's...

Oh, you guys are still here.

Looking forward to your dates?

Yeah, Kevin.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

- I meant that for his sake.
- Ah hah.

I'm sure you're gonna
have a great time, really.

Really.

Shall we?

- It was nice meeting you.
- You, too, Mel.

- 'Til next time.
- John.

I think it's working out fine.

Is there any way I
can get out of this?

With the social media buzz
you two are generating,

sorry.

Nope.

- Nope.
- What's wrong with those?

- No.
- That's my favorite skirt.

Ooh. I didn't know
you owned this.

But I'm proud of you.

Okay, well, I am
not wearing that.

Why not?

For starters, it's a first date.

But it would look great on you.

Uh, no. It doesn't
even have any pockets.

- What? But...
- No.

Pockets. Right.

An essential for any date.

Well, I need pockets
for my index cards.

Maddie...

Bea.

I'm your best friend,

and I love you,

but what... and I
mean this sincerely

are you talking about?

Well, I like to
have talking points,

you know, a plan of attack.

A plan of attack?

What kind of date is this?

You know what your
best shows are?

The ones where you
just go with it.

You know, when you just
relax and be yourself.

Yeah, well, I don't always know

how to be myself
on a first date.

Well, why would we stop
at index cards, hmm?

Why don't we find
you a teleprompter,

oh, a sky-writing plane. Right?

Okay, I see where we're
going. Yeah, take that back.

Maddie, right?

- Yeah! Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Kevin.

Thank you.

Now, before we get
started, I should warn you

I'm doing this
for my radio show.

Right. Yeah, on
your, uh, profile,

it said that you
were a presenter.

- Yeah.
- So does that mean

you'll be dissecting
the date on air?

Oh, yeah. But don't worry.

I'm just reviewing the
TripleDate app, not you.

Right. Well, it's L.A., right?

It wouldn't be the
weirdest date I've been on.

It wouldn't?

No, um

when people find
out I'm in medicine,

you would be surprised

the things that I end up
talking about over dinner.

That reminds me,
you should really

check out my hockey scar.

That was just a joke.

- Right.
- I-I have a hockey scar,

but you don't really
need to look at it.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Uh, the app said that, um,

you know, we should go
present hunting together.

So what kind of
books do you like?

Oh. Well, the
classics, of course,

but I also love
romance and thrillers

and sometimes sci-fi and
anything to do with travel

- or history...
- Right, so everything.

Yeah, pretty much.

Um, what about you?

Uh, I gotta be honest.
I thought everyone

kinda just pressed the
"I like books" button.

- Say it isn't so.
- Yeah, I... No.

I'm trying to sound all classy.

- Okay.
- Um...

I don't really read much.

Well, let me educate you.

Okay, come on.

Well, here's our first date.

Yep.

You ready?

Have you ridden one
of these before?

Oh, yeah. These
babies? We go way back.

All right, well,
let's get rolling.

All right.

Ah.

Hold on.

Uh, hey!

This is, uh...

I think...

What the...

I wish I brought
a pen and paper.

What for?

Well, I just...

I really should be making a list

of all the books
you need to read

and cross-referencing by
genre, author, and period.

Can't we just look
at the covers,

see what looks good?

Well, there's literally
a phrase that says

don't judge a book by its cover.

Right.

Isn't the point that we, uh,

spend time together?

Yes. You're right. I'm sorry.

I just got caught
up in the task.

I'm really not so good at this.

It's fine.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You're just trying to
find something nice.

I mean, you could
maybe relax 10%.

Ouch.

Um...

This one is broken.

Oh. Mine's okay.

Do you want to swap?

Well, sure, yeah.

Good luck riding this thing.

I'll risk it.

Okay. Leave you in the dust now.

- You ready?
- Ready?

- Yeah.
- All right. Let's go.

Ahem.

Guess that one's not broken.

Let me help you.

Seems like I'm really getting
the hang of this, huh.

Yeah, doing good.

Oh!

Here we go again.

So, uh, you run
your own business?

Well, my sister Mel does
all the boring stuff.

You know, I do the coding and
come up with all the ideas.

How 'bout you?

Uh, I'm in charge
of asset division

for high-profile divorce cases.

You know, the boring stuff.

High-profile cases?

Hah. Dinner's on you, then.

I'm kidding.

Come on, buddy.

You're making me look bad.

Y-You've never...

Ridden one of these before?

Nope.

Guess that's a no to our
dinner then as well, huh?

Bye.

So everyone's dying to know

how you're doing on the
Three-Date Challenge.

How'd your dates go?

Well, I met the guy,
and he was nice.

I can see how we fit
into your algorithm.

But as people, I'm just...
I'm not so sure we connected.

Okay, and you gave
the guy a fair shot?

Yes, John. I know
how to go on a date.

I admit it's been
a while, but...

I can certainly confirm that.

But I know how to enjoy myself.

I certainly can't confirm that.

Well, okay, was there anything
about the date that worked?

I admit the location was nice,

but it doesn't take magic
for your app to work out

points of interest after
that lengthy survey.

Well, that was only date one.

And how was yours?

Oh, it was fantastic.

We hit it off from the start.

We were in synch. We
had a great activity.

It was a perfect date.

Oh, I see.

And, uh, what was
her name again?

Um...

Sounds like true love.

Well, there you have it, folks.

We're one date in,
and neither one of us

is any closer to
finding our soul mate.

Yet.

So you sure you want to
keep going with this?

Yeah. The more we talk about
TripleDate, the better,

even though you keep
making fun of it.

Have you never
heard of the saying

that there's no such
thing as bad publicity?

Good point.

You know, you, uh

you're very quick,
Maddie McKenzie.

You sound surprised.

Nah, I can see why your
listeners love you,

my mother being one of them.

Well, she clearly
has impeccable taste.

Oh, yeah.

What's with the sudden
burst of compliments?

Well, I'm very impressed
that you're willing to give

this whole Three-Date
Challenge thing a try.

I know how much you
were against it.

Well, thank you.

And since we're
going down this path,

I have to hand it to you.

Most CEOs wouldn't
put their reputation

on the line so publicly.

Yeah, well, let's see how
the second date goes. Heh.

We're doing that
tomorrow, right?

Oh. No, actually,

Bea wanted to space
things out a little bit,

you know, keep the
audience hooked,

so we'll just be
talking about dating

and apps in general
on the next show.

Mm.

If that's okay with you.

Well, if you can, you know,
stand being around me.

Oh. We radio hosts are
very patient people.

These stats are great.

They are?

Everyone loves
the back-and-forth

between you and John.

Just keep saying to yourself,

"National syndication.

National syndication."

I know. Eyes on the prize.

So just don't go get
cold feet on me, okay?

Don't worry. I'm
genuinely curious to see

if this app is as
confident as John himself.

I like confidence in a man.

Sure, confidence is nice,
but I need to be with someone

who takes life
seriously as well.

Not everyone's like
you, Miss Index Cards.

But at least I don't just wing
everything like John does.

I mean, him and I are
just so different.

Have you ever heard of
"opposites attract"?

Yes, I've heard of it, and
it sounds just as unlikely

as finding true
love in three dates.

Mm-hmm.

John

how do you feel
about an interview?

You know how much I hate those.

I really do.

But we've had an inquiry
from Taking Stock.

The financial website?

What do they want with us?

They want to know if you're
available later today.

They're one of the best
financial news outlets

on the West Coast, so
you have to do this.

Yeah, but who even reads that?

Businesspeople, John.

Executives, bankers,

serious professionals
read Taking Stock.

You know, the people we want
to attract for TripleDate.

Okay. I don't know.

I just heard those reporters
really like to play hardball.

Which is exactly why you
need to tread carefully.

But you'll be there?

Actually, they want to get
a sense of you on your own,

"undiluted."

No, w-we're a team.

But you're the face of the app.

So handsome.

Where's John this morning?

Oh, he's doing an interview

with a reporter at Taking Stock.

They're gonna eat him alive.

I thought you'd be
happy about that.

Well, I mean, yeah,

but he's still human.

Well, we have more important
things to worry about.

Like what?

Like I heard a rumor

that we are on Max
Kenton's short list.

The syndication
one or the ax one?

The good one.

Bea, where did you hear
that, and do not say

your neighbor with all the
cats who claims she's psychic.

Not this time.

I heard it from one

of Max Kenton's
personal assistants.

Imagine yourself as
a pebble in a stream

as the stresses of the
world trickle past.

Easy for you to say.

Bea, if you are coming back

to tell me about...

Hey. Uh

come on in.

What are you doing here?

Bea gave me your address.
I hope that's okay.

Have you ever heard

of the financial
website Taking Stock?

Yeah. She said that they
were interviewing you.

Ahem.

"I met dating guru
John Reed today

"about his new app, TripleDate.

"Seems I may have just met a man

"so staggeringly unprofessional,

I doubt he even knows
what CEO stand for."

Ouch.

Right. Goes on like that.

They can be savage.

I noticed.

It's my own fault.

I went in there unprepared,
and I made a fool of myself.

Isn't that kind of your style?

I see your point.

But I think it's starting
to affect my business.

You know, what if I'm just not
cut out for the big leagues?

Me acting a fool is one
thing, but my sister

has put so much of herself
into this gamble, too.

Okay, I just can't put
her at risk like this.

I need your help.

Oh, you do?

Of course I do, okay?

You're so great at
this stuff, right?

You have those people on
your show all the time,

and you never make a mistake.

Mehh.

I just need advice
on my public image.

You know, how do I come
across without looking...

Foolish?

I was gonna say,
"unprofessional,"

but yeah, sure

- that, too. Mm-hmm.
- That, too.

Yes, of course.

Take a seat. I'll make some tea.

Maybe I can give you
a pointer or two.

Thank you.

You'll have to excuse my get-up.

I was just doing some yoga.

You are the last person that
I'm gonna judge right now.

You are a strong woman.

- A strong woman...
- Oh.

Yep, that's just a playlist.

My mom and sis listen to, uh,

positive-affirmation
stuff all the time.

Okay, if you're gonna
start making tech jokes...

I just meant it's good to
see a different side to you.

Look, you're the face
of your business.

How you come across is
how the app comes across.

So no more jokes?

No, there's nothing
wrong with jokes,

but try ones that
acknowledge your flaws.

It shows that you don't think
you're better than people.

And I know you like
to just wing it,

but your audience comes in
cold without information.

They're expecting
you to provide it.

I'm not saying that you have
to plan every single sentence,

but it's important
to have facts ready.

It shows that you care
enough to do the research.

And if you're gonna
be public speaking,

we need to talk
about tone of voice,

articulation, and projection.

Really?

You started this.

Come on. Stand up. Okay.

You know you need
unique New York,

but does unique
New York need you?

You know you need nunique...

Try again.

You know you need
nunique New Nork...

Just when I thought
I knew how to talk.

You need to clearly enunciate
each vowel and syllable

with clarity and confidence.

I understand most perfectly.

I am currently speaking

with eloquent diction
and confidence.

Why is it so hard for
you to be serious?

Right.

Okay

no mics running,

off the record,

why did you really
start TripleDate?

I wanted to bring
people together.

And money doesn't
factor into it?

Okay, you really want to
know what TripleDate's about?

Yes, I really do.

Okay.

- Well, when I was a kid...
- Mm-hmm.

My dad passed away.

Oh. John, I am so sorry.

No, no, no. It's okay.

I've made my peace with it.

But the point is, I
will always remember

the relationship
he and my mom had.

They were so good together.

And I guess I just
want to give people the

opportunity to discover
the kind of happiness

that they got to share,

even if it was only
for a couple years.

I was not expecting that.

I honestly believe
TripleDate can help people.

I mean, the world's
crazy enough, right?

If my app can make it easier

for you to find your soul mate

why wouldn't you want
to give it a try?

Well, when you put it that way

doesn't sound so bad.

Morning.

What are you doing
here so early?

I got a surprise for you.

A surprise?

Wait there.

I thought you could do
with some new chairs.

Well...

Huh?

This is so much better.

Right?

I also brought this.

And what's that?

It's a new suite
of software I wrote

for Bea's sound
monitoring system,

if you'll let me upload it.

We go live in an hour.

It's all pretty straightforward.

Even I could run
your show with this.

Oh, well, must be simple, then.

Ho ho ho. Nice.

Yeah?

Okay.

You're gonna love this.

Hey, you know this
won't influence

what I say about the app, right?

I know, but with
this new software,

even I'll be able to hear you
roasting me in full stereo.

Thank you so much.
I love the show.

Oh, well, thank
you for listening.

You get that all the time?

Every once in a while, maybe.

That's cool.

Haven't you heard?

I am, very.

I never doubted it.

So, John, the new
chairs and software,

seriously, what
was all that about?

Well, don't tell anyone,

but, uh, kind of like
being on your show.

Can I get that in writing?

Watching you and Bea, you
really love what you do.

Passionate. You're dedicated.

I respect that.

You know, when
people like our show,

they usually just tweet us.

How is our segment going down
with your listeners, anyway?

I have to admit they do like it.

I know you think that I
don't have any integrity,

but I take TripleDate

as seriously as
you take your show.

But I thought you liked
everything all loosey-goosey.

Okay, this may
come as a surprise,

but I am always
working on the app.

In fact, I'm doing some
research this evening.

- Research?
- Yep.

You know how TripleDate
finds activities.

Well, I like to go check
them out from time to time,

and I think maybe tonight
you should come with me.

You're taking me on a date?

It's not a date.

We're scouting an
activity for a date.

Yeah, sounds like a date.

Not a date.

Well, as flattered as I am,

I have a lot of work to
do for tomorrow's show.

Okay, you know how I said
that I respect people

- that are dedicated?
- Mm-hmm.

I also respect people
that take the evening off.

Come on. Let me
text you the address

to where to meet me later.

All I ask for is a
half-hour of your time.

Okay, if you don't like it,
you can go right back to work.

Really appreciate your opinion.

That sounds like a yes.

See? What'd I tell you?

It is a beautiful location.

Thank you. And you never
would have tried it

if it wasn't for TripleDate.

Yeah. I definitely wouldn't
normally be sitting

in a swan at this time of day.

But come on. The whole
three-date part of it,

you can't actually be serious.

That's why it comes
with a guarantee.

Three dates, or your money back.

If it was really just
about making money,

then I'd have people
paying for years,

like every other dating app.

How'd you get into

the whole online
dating scene, anyways?

Well, if you really
want to know,

I can take you to
where it all began

and explain it to you,

but it's gonna cost you
another couple extra hours.

Ooh. Should I risk it?

I mean, I did convince you

to get into a
giant swan with me.

Ugh. You did, and
I have no regrets.

And I bet I could
even persuade you

to give steering a shot.

Ooh. I don't know. You
think that's a good idea?

Come on. Yes.

You haven't seen me drive yet.

- I trust you. Just...
- Okay.

- Just don't crash us, please.
- All right.

Are you hungry?

Depends where you're taking me.

- Hmm?
- Wow.

This is where it all began.

How did you even
find this place?

Oh, I been eating here
since I was a kid.

Oh.

When I first started
designing TripleDate,

this is where I'd come.

Wow. It's really pretty.

- Johnny!
- Lorenzo!

Johnny?

I told you I been coming
here since I was a kid.

Che Bella sorpreso.

You look well.

- You, too.
- Ah.

And?

Oh, this is Maddie,
Maddie McKenzie.

Oh! From the radio.

Yes. Nice to meet you.

Piacere.

I-I get your usual table ready.

- Grazie.
- Prego.

I've known him for forever.

You know, I don't think
I've ever gone to dinner

with someone who
has a usual table.

Ah! So you're gonna
stay for dinner.

Maddie McKenzie approves?

Well, I mean, you've
taken me all this way.

Oh! Well, thank you.

This is such a beautiful place.

Ah. I like her.

You bring her back.

Oh, yes.

I know just what to
cook for you both.

So is this one of your
TripleDate locations as well?

Nope. Some places, you have
to keep for special occasions.

All right. You said you'd tell
me the story of TripleDate.

Yes. So my mom and dad
had their first date here.

Aww.

They would take Mel and I
here every week as kids,

and in all those years,

I rarely saw a couple
who had what they had.

It inspired me to
want help people find

the kind of connection
that my parents had.

That got me thinking
that maybe there was

an algorithm for compatibility.

I've always been good with tech,

so one thing led to another

and TripleDate.

Oh. Oh, wow.

Whoa.

Bistecca alla griglia.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

- Wow. This looks incredible.
- Oh, yeah.

If I was on a date with a man
that could cook like this,

I would definitely
come back for seconds.

Well, I do cook, you know.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Lorenzo taught my dad and I.

My mom insisted that a man
should know how to cook.

Hmm.

Okay, I know that
you're the interviewer,

you know, but I've
talked enough about me.

I want to know about the
famous Maddison McKenzie.

Well, what do you want to know?

Well, beyond the radio show,

beyond filing and indexing

what do you enjoy?

You're gonna think
it sounds boring.

Try me.

I love books.

I love reading them. I
love collecting them.

I love the smell of them.
I love the feel of them.

Okay. Yeah, I'm more of
an e-book kind of guy,

No, there's no
romance in e-books.

I thought Maddie McKenzie
didn't do romance.

Well...

Favorite book.

Oh, it's gotta be
Wuthering Heights.

Ooh, Emily Bronte.

- Yes. Yeah.
- Nice.

My mom had this
beautiful edition.

It was really rare,

with the Bronte family
crest right on the spine.

Although, when I was
two, I took a bite

out of the corner of it
and left teeth marks.

It had been in her
family forever,

and I chewed on it
like a candy bar.

Okay.

Anyways

when my mom trusted
me enough to read it

and not eat it

it became the first
adult book that

that I ever really got lost in.

Heathcliff and Cathy,

the world's ultimate
romantic lovers.

You are full of surprises
tonight, John Reed.

It was my mom's
favorite book, too.

She even named me after Cathy.

Wait a minute. Your
name is Maddison.

Oh, you are quick.

But my middle name is Catherine.

- Ah.
- In fact, after I read it,

I had everyone call me
Cathy for three weeks.

I was 12.

Well, okay, when I was 12,

I wanted everybody
to call me Butch.

Butch?

- Cassidy.
- Oh.

You know, the cowboy.

You know, now I kinda see it.

My parents were book collectors,

but they sold their
entire library,

that edition included,
to send me to college.

I can't tell you
how many bookstores

I've gone to looking
for one like it.

I knew there was a romantic
in there somewhere.

Well, I'll have to say,

I did not think that you'd
know Wuthering Heights.

Well, maybe there's more to
both of us than meets the eye.

This place is really something.

It's very special to me.

I want to return the gesture

and take you someplace
that's special to me.

What are you doing
tomorrow night?

Okay, keep it open.

You're not scared
of heights, are you?

All right, I admit it.

I'm impressed.

Wow.

Incredible.

Breathtaking.

Okay.

I think I've finished
up the feedback.

Ready for date two.

- Hmm.
- Who is it?

Uh

- Ohh.
- Mm!

You know you need nunique New...

Let's see who the fates
have in store for me.

I know what you're
all waiting for.

It's time for our lovebirds

to give us an update on
the Three-Date Challenge.

How are you doing
this morning, guys?

Well, I have some exciting
and surprising news.

TripleDate has paired me up

to go on a second
date with Kevin.

Really?

Yeah. I gave the
app my feedback,

and this is what it suggested.

Well, it must think
you're a good match.

Well, I accepted, and so did he,

so we're going on a
couples baking class.

Oh, dear.

I know. I am sorry, Kevin.

You are about to find out what
a truly terrible cook I am.

I mean, at least if you
give him food poisoning,

he's medically trained. Okay.

And how 'bout you, John?

What does TripleDate
have planned for you?

Well, the app's paired
me up with someone new.

Um, her name is Annie,

and she's an interior decorator.

And where are you going?

Boating in the park.

Well, those sound like two
very interesting stories.

Why is it that I can
extract an appendix,

but I can't get a
handle on this recipe?

It is a beginners class, too.

Thanks.

Okay, surgeon, how
'bout you cut up these,

and I will get to mixing.

That, I can handle.

Hey, Maddie

thanks for giving
me a second chance.

You didn't seem that
into me on the show.

You were listening?

Of course.

Well, it wasn't you.
I just wanted...

To make John Reed's
app seem stupid.

Oh, dear.

Okay, you know me already.

Not as much as I'd like to.

Okay, you keep your eyes
on the strawberries.

So why do you think the
app paired us together?

Well, apparently it thought
we'd be a good match.

Okay, I have to admit
I know who you are.

The tech guy from the radio?

No, no, it's cool.

I heard you setting
up Maddie McKenzie

the first time you
went on her show.

Yeah, actually feel
really bad about that.

She's... She's really great.

Well, she might be really great,

but she's not really
here now, is she?

Nope.

No, you know why I think
your app picked me?

Because we both
know what we want,

and we're both not
afraid to take charge.

You think?

Oh, I've got your
number, John Reed.

- Okay, no phones on the date...
- I just

unless we're gonna
take a selfie.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I just
wanted to check one thing.

Wait. Just be careful,
please, 'cause...

Ohh.

Don't suppose you got
any scuba gear, do you?

Nope.

Uh

Doesn't... It's
supposed to be risen.

I did tell you I was
the world's worst cook.

Yeah, I didn't believe
it until right now.

How can something smell
like it's burning,

yet still look undercooked?

Yeah.

Okay, you just gotta be merciful
on the show if it tastes bad.

- No, absolutely not, no.
- Wha...

I am totally blaming
you if it tastes bad.

Okay.

Ahem. Why do I feel

like I'm taking my life
into my own hands right now?

Mmm.

Uh...

I'm a... I'm alive.

- No.
- I don't...

No!

How does that taste bad?

So you been boating here before?

Once.

And did it go
differently than this?

Very.

Hey, I, uh, have a question.

Uh, if TripleDate pairs
us for a third date,

would you be down?

Let's just see
what the app says.

Right.

Well, thank you for today.

And good luck with the show.

Thank you. And good luck with

surgery.

Thanks.

Well, thanks again.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey, Mel.

Hey, John. Just
relaxing at home.

Now come on. Spill.

I don't want to talk about it.

Oh, no.

Yep.

Well, what's wrong now?

She just wasn't...

Wasn't what?

The one. You know, this "one"

that I keep telling people
I can help them find.

If TripleDate's designer
can't find love,

that doesn't bode
well for marketing.

What do you want me to do?

Tell people that
it was a hit again?

Why not?

Yeah, because Maddie was
so convinced last time.

No, I just...

I don't want to
play games anymore.

Like Maddie said, if the app's
gonna be taken seriously,

then so do I.

I'm glad you've
got some integrity.

I just wish you found it
after the launch of the app.

Good night.

I'm not saying I'm one date
away from my forever partner,

but I had fun.

Ooh. Well, that sounds like
a breakthrough, Maddie.

Um, yep. See, I told
you TripleDate works.

I'm very happy for you, Maddie.

Thank you.

And if I'm being honest,

my own date wasn't
a great success.

Aww. I'm sorry to
hear that, John.

Yeah, Annie was enthusiastic,

but, uh, definitely

not the one.

I told you to pretend!

Well, we still have
the third date left.

Who knows what will happen then?

Another good show, guys.

You know, I'm really glad
things are working out

with you and Kevin.

I must say he is quite the dish.

Slow your roll, Bea. I
only said I liked him.

- Yeah.
- Listen, um,

I'm not gonna be able to
be in for the next show.

Oh. Uh...

Yeah, I have my,
uh, press conference

for the TripleDate
national launch,

so I really need
to be on my A game.

Well, do you want some more
help with your public speaking?

No. Nah, you seem busy enough.

John, best of luck
on your launch.

Oh, and happy birthday.

How did you know about that?

I am the best producer in town.

When is his birthday?

Today.

Why didn't he say anything?

Look, I have to
pack everything up

and meet with Max Kenton's
P.A. for another covert coffee.

Oh. Well, let me know
if you hear anything.

Will do.

John, wait.

You left without me
saying happy birthday.

So happy birthday.

Thank you.

Why didn't you
mention it on air?

It's your show.

I didn't want to
make it all about me.

Yeah.

Uh, so are you excited
for the launch?

Yeah. It'll be good to finally
get TripleDate out there.

Yeah. And then the Three-Date
Challenge will finally end.

You won't have to
deal with me anymore.

Ah.

Are you walking this way, too?

Well, this is me.

You know, this wasn't
what I imagined.

Do I want to know
what you did imagine?

No.

Look, John, I want to thank you
for helping out with the show.

Figured we were better as
allies than adversaries.

Yeah.

Well, have a good
birthday night.

- Thank you.
- Have a good one.

- Have a good night.
- Bye.

Surprise!

Mom!

What did you do?

I know you didn't want a fuss,

so I only invited a
few of your friends.

Ah, guess it's okay.

Maddie McKenzie?

Do you know how much
I love your show?

Oh, that's so nice. John
told me that you listened.

Listen? I never
miss it. Come on in.

Oh, no. I don't want
to intrude. I should...

No, come on.

Every party needs
a celebrity guest.

Ohh.

Uh

Strange wiggle line.

Uh, she said it was a book.

Is it spaghetti?

- Uh...
- It's not spaghetti.

Uh, uh...

Hmm.

Oliver Twist.

- Uh...
- Yes!

Uh, what? I still don't get it.

"O" liver twist.

That's a liver?

I thought it was like
a map of Kentucky.

♪ Ba da bum ♪

♪ Ba da bum ♪

♪ Ba da bum ba dum ♪

Do we know anything yet?

"Zilch."

Not joining in?

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm
a bit distracted.

You and John seem to be
in your element, though.

Yeah. Well

we weren't always like this.

No?

Has John told you
about his father?

Yes. Uh, a little.

He truly was a wonderful man,

but he had no off switch.

But he did all of this for us.

How I miss him.

Anyhow, uh, after
he... he passed,

the three of us
decided, "That's it.

Life is for the living,"

and we've just been
throwing ourselves

at the world ever since.

I'm starting to see the
benefit of letting go.

Yeah, it's something
I need to learn,

and I'm glad John
had taught it to me.

Although if you ever tell him...

Mmm. Mm.

Mm.

Well, I know that you
had a good effect on him.

Really?

Maddie, John is really talented.

He could be like the
next tech billionaire

if he could just focus
that big brain of his.

And I think, thanks
to your show,

he... he finally has.

Look, all I know is,
since he met you,

he seems a lot happier.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, I'm fine.

Oh, chivalry is not dead yet.

Well, thank you.

What are you doing
out here on your own?

Oh, I just got a lot on my mind.

Hey, your mom is great.

You know, she...

Yeah, she is.

She's been my biggest
supporter since day one.

I used to work in
insurance, you know?

- Oh!
- Yeah.

It was very
cutthroat and boring.

So one day, I thought to myself,

"What am I doing?"

I had to march into
my boss' office, quit.

Started TripleDate the next day.

You just up and left your job.

Sounds like a John Reed move.

Mm. When I told my mom,
she didn't even bat an eye,

just told me to follow my dream.

Everything I got is
riding on TripleDate.

You know, if it's a success,

then it could be a game-changer

for people like my mom who
want to meet someone again.

But if it's a failure...

This really means something
to you, doesn't it?

E-Enough about me.

What... What's on your mind?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's just, you know,

I envy your ability
to seize the day.

You don't care
what people think.

That is not true.

I care about what you think.

John.

You're neglecting your guests.

Right. I'm on my way.

You coming?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Um, my ride's almost here.

Oh. Uh, do you want
me to wait with you?

No. No, it's okay.

Well, Ms. McKenzie,

been a pleasure
working with you.

Oh, well, likewise, Mr. Reed.

Once we stopped
hating each other.

Yeah, that helped.

But don't forget you
have to come back

when we select date three.

Wouldn't miss it.

Okay, well, ride's here.

Really, thank you.

You were the life of the party.

You're just saying that.

Well, thanks for having me.

Happy birthday again.

Thank you.

You know, the
point of joining me

for an early-morning workout
is to actually exercise.

I am exercising

my jaws.

Hello.

This is Bea Brooks.

Oh! Good morning.

Yes, of course.

I understand.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Who was that?

That was Max Kenton.

He wants to come to
the studio this morning

to watch the
Three-Date Challenge.

But John's not on
the show today.

He's setting up his
press conference.

Oh.

You know you need
unique New York.

Does unique New York need you?

Remember

just stick to the
script we wrote.

No going off-road.

I got it.

And just stay focused.

We don't need any distractions.

Nothing is gonna happen

to pull my focus from
today, I promise.

John.

- Perfect timing.
- What's going on?

Our network CEO wants to
come watch the show today.

That's fantastic.

No, you don't understand.

He wants to see us pick
our final dates together.

- John.
- I wouldn't ask

- if it wasn't really...
- Let's go.

- Wait. John.
- No.

I'll be back in plenty
of time. Don't worry.

Thank you. Thank you.

But, John...

This is important, okay?

This is important.

You've worked so hard for it.

Trust me.

Good-luck charm.

You ready?

No, not at all.

Hey, you can do this.

Look, I know what
this means to you.

Syndication is a massive deal,

but you deserve it.

What about you?

I just dragged you away
from your press conference.

- I am so sorry.
- It's okay.

It's okay. It's a big
day for both of us.

But we got this, right?

You're right.

We can do this.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Great!

John, thank you so much.

- You're welcome.
- Okay, before you go in there,

I know you're gonna
want to kill me,

but just please look past that
and trust my instincts, okay?

What did you do?

Oh. Hi.

- Seriously, Bea?
- Well, I figured if the app

paired you and Kevin
together again,

that it'd be great to have
him here in the studio.

And what if it doesn't?
How awkward will that be?

Well, I thought you
said you liked him.

Yeah, but that was
before things got

complicated.

I've messed up, haven't I?

You think?

Come on.

Hi! Thanks for coming.

H-Hi.

Uh, hey.

- Hey.
- You a fan?

Oh, no. I'm... I'm Kevin.

We went on two dates.

John Reed, inventor
of TripleDate.

Oh. Right.

- Right.
- Well, cong

ratulations o-on the app.

I can do it.

I can impress Max Kenton.

Yes, you can, and that's good.

Because I think that's
him right over there.

Mr. Kenton.

Max, please.

Thank you so much for
letting me stop by,

and I'm keen to see
how it all works.

Well, hopefully you're
not disappointed.

I better not be.

I'm kidding.

I'm sure you'll be terrific.

Okay. Well, let's
get going then.

Follow us.

Everybody good?

Good morning, L.A.

This is On the Move
with Maddie McKenzie.

I know you're all
waiting to hear

the next big development in
the Three-Date Challenge.

Well, we're about to discover
who is our third and final date

and maybe our soul
mates will be.

Joining me for the
last time in the studio

is the inventor of
TripleDate, John Reed.

Morning, Maddie.

Happy to crash the
party one last time.

Of course.

And for his first
radio appearance,

is Kevin, who, as my
regular listeners know,

has been on two dates
so far with yours truly.

Morning.

All right, let's dive right in.

You all know that
I've been very slowly

coming around to the
idea of online dating,

but what do you think, Kevin?

Uh, I think it's fantastic.

I mean, I can't speak
for you, but, uh,

I had a lot of fun
on our first dates.

What do you say, Maddie?

Should we close this up?

Let's get to it.
Are you ready, John?

Yeah, I sure am.

Hey, thank you for
coming down, by the way,

especially since
today is the day

that TripleDate goes live.

I wouldn't miss being here.

Are you two ready?

Ready as we'll ever be.

All right, I will count us in.

In 3, 2, 1

go.

Maddie, you're killing us here.

Well, in a shocking twist,

the app has, uh,
suggested John again.

This app is trying to
tell you two something.

Is this your idea of a joke?

The app suggested
you for me, too.

And I think that's
the perfect time

for a cliffhanger.

We'll be back after
these messages.

Just hang tight for
a moment, folks.

Just when I think
I can trust you,

you go and pull a
stunt like this?

What exactly are
you accusing me of?

Why would the app pair us up
unless you messed with it?

Well, maybe the app is right.

Maybe you should listen to it.

I can't deal with
this right now.

I need the show to go smoothly.

If this show is
all you care about

and you don't even trust me,

then I am clearly
wasting my time.

I'm sorry, everyone.

I have to get to
my press launch.

Wh... John, wait.

Mel? Yeah, you were right.

I shouldn't have done the show.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm on my way.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

And where is the
famous Mr. Reed?

On his way.

Don't worry.

Andiamo.

Lorenzo, thank you so
much for doing this.

How could I miss the big
day of my favorite family?

Where is Johnny?

He's on his way.

Ah, bellissima. Mwah.

Ciao. Grazie.

- Mom.
- Honey, hi.

I'm so proud of you.
You look so beautiful.

Where's John?

On his way.

Honey, if you don't
mind me saying,

you seem a little stressed.

Stressed?!

Why would I be stressed?

It's just the launch
in 30 minutes,

and John's not even here!

It's all fine! Tell
me it's gonna be fine.

Honey, it's gonna be fine.

You two have always come
through for each other.

Come on.

Kevin, I am so sorry.

I know you didn't sign
up for all this drama.

Honestly, it's fine.

Are you okay?

You good to go?

Ahem. What happens now?

Just watch her.

And we're back.

During the break, John and Kevin

fought a duel for my affection.

Just kidding. But unfortunately

John did have to run to
his press conference.

People are busting down
the doors to get in.

What can I say?
This is live radio.

I know I speak for all of us
when I wish him very good luck.

As for whether or not I'll
take the app's suggestion,

well, we'll have to
resolve that another time.

All the more reason
to keep listening.

Well, that was quite the show.

I just want to apologize for
everything you saw in there.

You mean that little spat?

Yea... Everything.

Are you kidding?

Not only did Maddie
keep her cool,

she kept the audience hooked
and wanting to hear more,

all without missing a beat.

Well, she is the best.

And that's exactly what I need,

Take her skill for broadcasting
and your instincts for drama,

and your show is
something really special.

I'm picking you for syndication.

Do... Do you mean...

I'm making you guys the
flagship of my network.

All right.

- Oh, sorry. Sorry.
- It's... It's...

Oh, you're the richest
person I've ever hugged.

Kevin, I cannot
apologize enough.

It's... It's fine.

You have been so
patient through all this

craziness.

Wh-What'd I say the
first time we met?

Online dating, L.A.,

you expect some
weird things, right?

Yeah, you're definitely right.

Uh...

John left this.

Oh.

Um

What should I do with it?

Open it, obviously.

That looks rare.

I can't believe it.

How did he...

It's...

It's my family's
copy, the exact one.

I-I recognize the teeth marks.

I'm sorry. What?

Maddie, you of all
people know how much

I enjoy the sound
of my own voice,

but with you, I find
myself lost for words.

Maybe this will
help you understand.

I know how precious
this book is to you.

I'd like you to know how
precious you are to me. John.

We got the national syndication!

Oh, that's awesome.

Maddie.

Are you okay?

Maddie?

Hey, um...

I know I'm not the one for you.

You should be with someone
who you really match with.

Or

The app matches you with.

Thank you.

Please. Come on. Please,
let there be an Uber.

Please.

Well, I guess I'm not
going on a date tonight.

Oh, well, you could be.

I'm free.

Uh

Sure.

Mr. Kenton!

- Max.
- Uh, right, Max.

Um, look, I hate to
ask a favor, but...

You need a ride.

How'd you know?

Uh, just because
I'm a businessman

doesn't stop me being
an incurable romantic.

Thank you.

Thank you so much! Thanks.

Besides, I'm interested in
seeing his press conference.

A little birdie tells me
he needs some investment.

You are the best!

Which my sister and I believe

will change the
dating world forever.

Everyone deserves love,

no matter how hard
it is to find.

You know, I wasn't
gonna say this, but

recently I guess I've
learned a couple things.

- John.
- It's okay.

I know that I've done some
crazy publicity stunts

in the past that didn't allow
you all to take me seriously.

But TripleDate does come
from a very meaningful place.

Our father died a
number of years ago,

and as you can imagine,

that's never something
you fully get over.

Our mom thought she'd
never meet a man

who could measure
up to our father,

but she can, and
she deserves to.

We all deserve to find that
special someone in our lives.

So that is why I
designed TripleDate.

Mom

thank you for everything,

for coming here.

I know this place has got
a lot of memories for us.

Come on up here.

Come on, Mom.

- Love you.
- Love you.

I wouldn't be
standing here today

without the support of these
two beautiful women in my life

and one other, who couldn't
be here right now...

Maddie McKenzie.

- Mr. Reed.
- Yes?

You mentioned Maddie McKenzie.

I heard her show
earlier this afternoon,

and your app paired
you together again,

but you've already
rejected each other once.

Is your app faulty?

It most definitely
is not faulty.

I'm very confused, Mr. Reed.

Well...

There's no need to be.

What are you doing here?

You really think I'd miss it?

There's nothing to
be confused about.

The app wasn't wrong.

I was.

I accept your offer for a date.

Uh, John.

Uh, right. Uh, sorry.

Thank you, Mel.

Okay, I think it's about time

we handed over TripleDate
to everyone else.

How do you feel about that?!

You ready?

3, 2, 1...

TripleDate's live!

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for
coming, everybody.

Ohh.

Ms. Reed.

- Hi.
- Max Kenton.

I gotta say I'm very impressed
with you and your brother.

Am I right in thinking this is
your first business venture?

Yes.

Well, I couldn't tell

from that presentation.

You seem to know just
what you're doing.

Oh, thank goodness.

And the idea of using
my radio station

to boost your
profile was inspired.

Your station?

How does free advertising
for six months sound?

That sounds amazing.

Okay, so tell me,

how do I invest in TripleDate?

I've been listening
to Maddie McKenzie

and tracking your progress,

and I just know you're
gonna make it big one day,

and I want a piece of that pie.

This pie?

Don't mind if I do.

Oh, honey.

I'm so proud of you.

Couldn't have done
it without you.

Daddy would be so proud.

Oh. Looks like somebody else
wants to congratulate you.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm sorry for what I
said in the studio.

I shouldn't have accused you.

I was just caught off guard

again.

And I shouldn't have
reacted the way I did.

I'm sorry, too.

I don't even know where to start

for thanking you for this.

How did you...

You did something clever
online, didn't you?

Ah, you can't always find

everything you
want in bookstores.

You never know where you're
gonna find something special.

Sometimes it's sitting opposite
you in a radio station.

Or in a boat shaped like a swan.

Or in a twilight
helicopter ride.

Everything I told you
about TripleDate was true.

It means the world to me...

And so do you.

Well, maybe I
should have listened

to the app in the first place.

Well, personally,
I never doubted it.

I know.

Well, should we see where
date three is gonna take us?

We don't need the app anymore.

This is where my parents
began their relationship.

Let's make it the place
where we start ours.
