She was on his show, and she seemed to know who he was, but more by a mutual acquaintance than knowing him personally. I recall Johnny saying he knew
Ryan Eriquezzo.
I think Johnny played up his relationships with several poker people, Amanda being one of them. Even on the show the conversation wasn't friendly (no shared stories or "remember that time..." stuff) in the way you would expect friends or even acquaintances to interact. In fact, I remember specifically, he said something along the lines, "you acted like you didn't even know me..."
I'll also add, that when I reached out to Amanda for an interview (out of the blue) she responded almost immediately and was one of the easier poker pro interviews I've ever done, so it's not too hard to see how she ended up on Jasep's radio show without really knowing him. I think she is very accommodating to the poker media.
