      As much as Nick probably hates it, he probably respects the fact that Eddie said something about the carousel lift. Allows him to leave knowing that he beat the record without a sliver of a doubt.
      - as a viewer, it shows to me that the lifts are genuine and that they all hold each other accountable.

      @@howardbaxter2514 It was tough love, but eddie did the right thing if he wasn't bullshitting. It allowed nick to course correct and get a legit lift that couldn't be questioned. Bystandaers could have saw what eddie saw too and maybe said something on the internet about nick not actually doing it had Eddie not piped up and let nick get a clean lift in before leaving. I could understand nicks anger in the moment cause he had just put so much into it and likely wasn't certain he had enough to do it again.

Your standard sized regular house fridge is not anywhere near that likely being closer to the 220's. So that rock he's carrying is a BIG fridge.
