so pumped, so I thought she was out of my
league actually, but you know, I got her number and
we went out and I thought it went really well.
You know, we got some drinks and I don't know
what happened because I thought I thought I did really well,

Speaker 2 (02:37):
He's a creep. Okay, well, here's what we know. He
called us and said that he liked you and he
actually felt that your your date went really well. You
seem to have a difference theory. So what's going on?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Like he was recording me.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Roll? When was he recording you?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
How everything was like uh, I thought everything was like
normal that looked at and he was like, you know,
like like recording my voice and he's like recording the
audio like.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
A phone memoir, a voicenoe or whatever. Yeah, like why
on Like I don't know, like Are you positive?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, I am absolutely positive. Like I was so freaked
out that I just like I just needed to get
out of there.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Ask him, did you so you see this and you're like,
I think I'm being recorded? Did you say something?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
It's just like really like I was weirded out and
I was like, what are He's like a private detective
or something.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I don't know, you've never heard this one. Let me
bring Dominic in. I forgot to mention. I'm sorry because
now that you're he kind of creeps you out. I
don't mean to do this to you, but dominic is
on the phone here, he is listening again I could creep.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
But oh are you doing? Why did you record her?
Were you recording her?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
First of all, wait, I think there's a misunderstanding. I wasn't.
I was recording me, okay, like of you No, but
the reason, the reason like it wasn't. It wasn't a
creepy thing. I Oh my gosh, Jillian, I like you
so much, and I wanted to make sure that I
was doing well on the date, and so I was

(04:12):
recording myself and I see where I was, you know,
doing well?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Like game.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, So like when you go home and review the film.
I don't want to hear myself on a date ever again.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
But okay, So but I read something that like, you know,
if you can measure what you're doing, you can you
can get better at it. So if I if I
know that I'm I'm making some mistakes, then I can
address them.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
And then yeah, like here's the here's the thing here,
like I really like aside from this very creepy thing
that you have died, like you.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Cannot do that.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
You're very sweet, but like the facts that you think
that you need to like get better.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
But no, no, it doesn't have to say you're in a different.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
You know, Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do.
I guess for if that's your method, but you can't
do it and it's weird. It's gonna come off weird
every time. So I don't know. I mean, and I guess,
So how.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Do I get how do I get better.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yourself or something?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
But it sounds like you were fine, Like I think
you would have been, Jillian, would he have been okay
had he not been recording you without your knowledge?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Acted like a serial killer?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Then see, I've never I have never hurt any any
bugs in my house.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
It. It's a weird thing to do. And it sounds
like you're fine. It sounds like maybe you have some
anxiety or.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Or you're yes, yes, anxiety, yes to the home.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And decompressed in a lot of ways without recording somebody,
because it's going to come off the wrong way every time.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Doesn't everybody record everybody?

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Now? Actually? No?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So okay, yeah, I think well, I mean, yes, your
apple does, but that's different.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's totally different. Look, you're sweet man.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
It sounds like you had the best intentions, but it
didn't come off the right way. And also sounds to
say one more time, it sounds like you were fine.
So I don't think you should worry about you know,
I don't think you should overthink this. In the future,
you don't have to record your date, and it sounds
like maybe you'd be okay.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, okay, Well what if we just tried it again
and there wasn't any recording, Like I could just leave
my phone at home.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
That would be a good place to start. But is
there any way, Jillian, would you consider that?

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Go to therapy?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Okay, chastise the guy.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I think therapy is great and I go therapy. It
just seems like you have like a crippling like anxiety
and you.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, guys, guys, guys, We're not going to solve this
in this segment here, but you know, I sthing to
think about dominic. We wish you the best, Jillian. I'm
sorry you were freaked out. At least now you have
some answers and guys next for your time.
