This time, we're delving into the intriguing world of self-development, triggers, and posing the big question: Are self-development enthusiasts secretly masochists? Spoiler alert: Maz low-key admits that he might be.

Join Maz as he spills the tea on his recent trip to Castle Drumming, where he stumbled upon a retreat promising a week of triggers (where they literally trigger you) and self-discovery. We'll kick things off by defining masochism and then dive into Masoud's personal transformation story—from an overweight gamer to the awesome person you know today.

But it's not all serious talk; we'll take a pit stop to explore society's fascination with pain. Ever question if the rewards you're giving yourself are actually rewards? We'll be digging into that too.

Then comes the million-dollar question: Pleasure or pain, which one equals 'real' freedom? And, of course, we'll wrap things up pondering whether self-discipline is a superhero move or just another trap.
