Kato Kaelin joins me for a no-holds-barred conversation about his surreal life—from his unexpected fame during the O.J. Simpson trial to his experiences in Hollywood. We dive into the 30-year anniversary of the trial, the new Netflix documentary, and the evidence that never made it to court. Kato also shares insane stories about Phil Spector’s eerie behavior, introducing Pantera on stage just before tragedy struck, and the wild dynamics of the Playboy Mansion. Plus, we get into the role he almost landed in Dumb & Dumber, hidden camera lawsuits, and his life after the trial.
