But when I run this (via regex101.com), it matches the entire string. What I'm trying to do in Ruby is to match the first pattern and second pattern and strip those out, leaving what is left behind. What I'm looking for is "match this pattern AND this pattern". Is this possible?

The required groupings (the things inside the ()) are already there. Refer here to learn how to access grouped sub-expression matches. Otherwise just use the special match variables $1.. $n to access those (More on this here). Note that these special match variables work in almost any language that supports regex matching.
