Have you ever seen someone lie so openly and carefree?

Lol, yes. But he has a lot more to lose than the ones I know :D

It seems to stem from his complete willingness to do and say anything in order to get his way. An extreme fear of failure perhaps.

A pride thing. He's not saving face though. He's making it worse.

Much like the movie Fight Club, when the dude was punching himself and throwing himself around the room, but thought he was fighting someone else.

I think it brings to mind the movie Liar Liar, where Jim Carrey does the same thing.
