There's speculation over on explain xkcd that one of the Apollo 12 astronauts smuggled a bottle of Harpoon brand rum on board and brought it back. Randall might have inside knowledge of the incident from his days working as a NASA contractor.

I doubt Randall has any inside knowledge. He has stated himself that he just worked on some robots. Maybe he heard some rumors, but I think that is as far as it goes.
