Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker asks for confirmation of someone else's previous encounters, using casual fillers and the vague phrase 'these things.' That relaxed wording leaves the nature of the encounters unstated. The question directs attention to experience the other person may have, without explaining it yet.
