Can you please fly over to this place and tell my boss about these 25 hours? Don't mention the rest though - as a corporate drone I learned the hard way (a good amount > 70h/week for roughly a year) that there's only one correct reaction to requests like this from my manager:
1) Smile and say that you don't agree, point out what might work
2) Don't follow that request (in my home country it's even against the law as soon as you require certain amounts. Unless you're in very specific scenarios)
3) Go elsewhere
And - the biggest lesson of all: Avoid peer pressure and congratulate your coworkers that don't back down and leave after a 10 hour day, instead of joking about his part-time job attitude. Cost me dearly to learn these lessons - but I'm sure I'll never forget those.
