NMS:

Midway through the hill work, Francois asked BAB if he could provide a little more sunshine instead of just laying down brutal exercise after brutal exercise. BAB responded with a sarcastic Tony Robbins-style motivational speech that I wish I could have caught on video, then called lungewalks up the steepest hill.
