We slapped our new logo on T-shirts, tie-dyes, hoodies, and hats, and all with premium printed labels.
Look.
I wasn't kidding. We have it because tags are like the junk mail of clothing. All merch is available exclusively at clubrandom.com. Once again, that's clubrandom.com. Are we? Oh, you haven't noticed that by now?
No.
Oh, wow. You like the kids and I don't.
Club Random.
Now we're on like Barbara Walters. That's a really good question, but... It clearly doesn't haunt you. Hi, Amanda. How are you?
So nice to meet you.
Well, you came around to.
Of course. Yeah, I was admiring all of your amazing art that I heard gets like turned around, like you're an archivist of art and history.
Fucking yes, I am. You better think, no. It's funny, you jump up, some of the guests we've had here.
They just sit and watch you.
They really can't get up.
Why?
Because they're fucking old. Oh, their knees don't work anymore. Well, they just, you know, this chair you kind of sink back into.
I have an extra pillow underneath to like be on par with you.
You are always on par with me. I have to tell you, the people you know who recommend you, it's like a magi of Whitney, right? Whitney Cummings. Did you see her in the bathtub?
I did. I cozied up with her. That doll is like of my nightmares, but also it's this person that I love who's been so supportive of me.
And Nikki Glaser.
Nikki Glaser.
And Sam Harris.
Sam Harris.
I mean, you're recommended by like. some of my favorite people.
Oh, well, they have been so... Yes, that's for you.
Oh.
That's my newest book.
I always forget we're plugging... No, actually, I wasn't even... This is a show, for God's sake. This is professional. No, this is just for your... Professional show business.
You're kind of a librarian of stuff, so here's just one more thing to add to your library.
Oh. When did this come out?
This came out in 2025.
Right. So... But wasn't there a book before this?
Yes.
So this, right, this isn't, you must be tired as fuck of talking about.
We don't have to talk about the book.
No, no, no. I mean, look, this show, as you can see already, has no professionalism or agenda or we might, we might not. Yeah, okay. I mean, it's, you know, I was told you can really take a joke.
Yeah.
Please do. I'll tell you, when I walked in to do makeup, my producers are there and I'm always working on my other show. I said, I don't know anything except she killed a guy in Italy.
That is the story, yes.
But, you know, it's only funny because we know it's not true.
Speaking of funny, you got the Mark Twain Award.
I mean, the president tried to stop it once, and who knows?
It's like an execution date.
Well, let's not talk about that. No, I want to know. I want to be a professional, Amanda. I'm a professional.
Well, okay, but I'm actually really excited for you. Yeah.
I'm excited for you. You went through more than I did. I mean, I only had to get past Trump. You had to get out of Italy.
We've both been on journeys.
How many were in your prison?
So it was a relatively small, it's a women's prison. So women's prison.
Small private women's prison. It was like Bernard. It was like Sarah Lawrence.
Whatever, yeah, Sarah Lawrence of prisons. No, it was anywhere between, so when it was not very full, it was 30 women. And when it was quite full, it was like 90 women.
You made friends for a long time.
I made friends with one person I'm still in contact with.
Is she out of prison?
She is out of prison. She got out before me, actually.
