Freddy Lockhart (Part 1)

The episode opens with banter about Freddy Lockhart's habit of saying "son" and quickly moves to drivers holding phones to their ears, which one speaker notes is illegal under California law. He guesses at the toll of texting and phone calls behind the wheel without citing any figures. He frames it explicitly as a guess and adds that the problem is worse than he first assumed, because people use their phones even while stopped at lights.

I bet it's staggering numbers.

The hosts then recall a plastic surgeon, whom they connect to Paris Hilton, who went off a cliff in Malibu seconds after tweeting about his dog. They are careful about what is known. People suspected he was tweeting while driving, but the speakers say that is unconfirmed and that he might only have been reading tweets. Someone in the conversation also admits to trying to send a tweet on the winding mountain road on the way to the recording.

He could have been reading his tweets.

Cars become a running thread. One host says a video of a rally driver taking a Porsche GT3 sideways around mountain corners made him want to buy one, and he now owns one. He sold his Barracuda after its suspension came off the frame while it sat in his driveway. He says it was mostly hauled to shows during the six months he had it. He calls it roughly a quarter-million-dollar car, then clarifies that it cost him less but is "probably worth that much." The buyer was an acquaintance who owns a Ferrari refurbishing business and about 100 cars. The host also recalls paying people $100 to move the car, one of whom now works as a TMZ cameraman.

That could have happened like ten minutes ago when I was going 70 miles an hour on the highway, and I'd be a dead person.

The conversation moves to people in comedy who lie about themselves. The first example is a comic called Wheels, who opened for Dice Clay. According to the hosts, Wheels's claim to fame, which he even put on his website, was the night Dice supposedly couldn't follow him. Whatever listeners think of Dice, the hosts say he is a professional and that this has never happened. Some confusion surrounds a shared apartment: one speaker says he rented Wheels's house for about a month before moving into Caliendo's, and the other says Wheels moved in after he moved out.

I don't want to call him a compulsive liar, but that's the only description that fits.
