In this episode, Aiden and Chad visit a Freemason's lodge in Toronto and get into a heated debate about who's more annoying: Aiden or Chad. Also, the guys talk about the differences between Muslims and Jews, and what it means to be a Muslim in Canada.
00:00:00.000Let's go check out this Freemason church though. That sounds crazy. I'm not trying to be weird. Don't they all speak with their hands? Like they go like this. I think that's deaf people. Oh, you're right. The mosque is here. It literally says Masonic Temple right there. Hey, nice to meet you. Why does it say Masonic Temple on the building? This is Masonic Temple. Are there Freemasons in here? No, it's just a lodge. I don't know if they're here. Is this what you say to non-members who aren't initiated? No, that's right. Oh, we can come in? Hi, nice to meet you. How you doing?
00:00:29.180This is a Masonic Temple? Yes, it is. It no longer is a Masonic Temple. It was. So this is a tech company now. Oh, no theories, no rituals today. That's what you're supposed to say. In the basement, they still keep the rituals. That's right. Whoa. That's right, yeah. Do you want to go to the basement? Yes. Oh, what the? Yes. Let's go, Sneaky. You're too enthusiastic. Okay. Nice meeting you. All right, you have a good one. Dude, listen, I don't know if it's
00:00:59.160in my head. A lot of Indians are giving me dirty looks. I think it's in your head a little bit. Really? But I think
00:01:04.360that you're taking the heat off me because I was like the top op before you. But they hate me now. But I love
00:01:08.900Indians. I don't know what he's talking about. You guys smell great. Love your food. Okay, Hindus. I do too. I think
00:01:14.680you guys are like the nicest people. You're sweet. You're self-centered, if that's a good... Self-centered?
00:01:20.180What is that? That means egotistical. Oh, I didn't mean that. I mean, Sneeko's a selfless. Sneeko's a
00:01:24.360self-centered guy. Is that good or bad? What'd they say? Something about Aiden. Smells good,
00:01:28.700see? And there's a bunch of, you know, Indians around me. That means that, you know, they do
00:01:32.560smell good. Hey, do you like Aiden, Ross? No. Why? Why? You're thinking too slow. Because
00:01:37.640he got a helmet on. He's letting a girl drive a scooter for him. That's why he doesn't like
00:01:42.580you. They hate me out here, bro. That's how I'm telling you, bro. I don't know what it
00:01:44.940is. All right, Chad, who do people hate more? Sneeko or Aiden? Hey, Aiden, nice to meet you,
00:01:49.680man. Sneeko, how do I say it? Salaam alaikum. Oh. Hello. Salaam alaikum.
00:01:53.360Salaam alaikum, brother. Can boys and girls pray together, too? No. Women are praying over
00:01:58.320there. On that side. Yeah, thanks for having us. This is a nice majid. Thank you, yeah. These
00:02:01.420buildings keep changing. They're like, across the street, there's a Masonic temple, and now
00:02:04.640it's like a music hall. Yeah, the temple, and they say it's an odd place to have a mosque,
00:02:09.160because you have it across the street from the temple, but we're actually looking to buy
00:02:11.820this building. It's a landlord who owns it. That's a Jewish landlord that owns it. He's been
00:02:16.140very good to us. Nice. So we're only like halfway there, so it's about 10 million. We're halfway.
00:02:20.640That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot, but alhamdulillah, the community is... And there's lots of Muslims
00:02:24.560in Toronto. There are many Muslims in Toronto, and this area, actually, they call it Yorkville. A lot
00:02:29.480of them, the Sheikh's been here, too. Like a general question, what similarities? Because we were
00:02:32.960talking earlier about, like, the similarities between Muslims and Jews. What do we have in
00:02:35.940common? We have, I think, maybe even the Sheikh, but we have a few things in common, and a few
00:02:40.160things different, as well. Our languages are very similar, as far as Arabic and Hebrew. It's a very,
00:02:45.020you have both Semitic languages. Do you speak Hebrew? I know a tiny, tiny bit. Very brief.
00:02:49.900Do you speak Yiddish? Do you know Yiddish? I'm aware what that is, but I don't speak it,
00:02:54.000no. No, yeah, very similar. I was actually, I met with a rabbi last week, and he was telling
00:02:58.340me even the word Muslim, like how we have this letter called Mim in Arabic, and you have a thing
00:03:03.340called in Hebrew Mem, but this letter is used to denote a verb. So, like, if someone is a, like,
00:03:08.800say, for example, you know how we have, if you're running is a verb, right? If I add the words
00:03:12.500E-R to it, it's someone who runs, runner, right? Oh, yeah. Or slow. If someone, if someone,
00:03:18.040or some, sorry, in a comparison of that, it's slower, for example. E-R makes it. So, in Arabic,
00:03:22.900we have the letter Mim, and what that does is it makes an example of someone doing that word. So,
00:03:27.100for example, Islam comes from Istislam, which means to submit. So, a Muslim, you have that Mim in front
00:03:32.660of it, is someone who is performing the action of Islam, submitting. And so, the rabbi made that same
00:03:36.680thing. He said, yeah, and we have a Mim as well, and it has the same function. So, it's similar like
00:03:40.500that. But, of course, we have things which are different as well. It's kind of crazy. Like,
00:03:43.460I'm very big on energy. Like, the energy in here is very at peace. I can tell as soon as I walked in,
00:03:47.700it's like, you feel kind of that peace here. And my second question, just, this is completely random
00:03:51.640from what I just said, but it's on my Mim. You know, gambling is Haram, right? And, you know,
00:03:55.880in Islam, right? So, I have a question. How come in Dubai, they're installing, like, a casino? Do any of
00:04:00.340you guys know why? I'm genuinely curious. Yeah, we can hear you. Give me one. Hey, how are you,
00:04:05.820man? How are you doing? My name is Haram. I don't know if Sneeko told you about me. I've seen you
00:04:09.120with Sneeko before. It's a pleasure, man. The pleasure is mine. Just a couple of things. Also,
00:04:13.400Sneeko made a good question earlier about what we have in common with Jews and Muslims. I think
00:04:17.160a monotheistic belief is the first thing that we would say we have in common. As Jews, they believe
00:04:22.420in one God as well, and as Muslims, we believe in one God. Also, I mean, the idea that we don't believe
00:04:27.460in a trinity, we don't believe in God having sons or daughters or sisters or moms or all that kind of
00:04:33.020nonsense that came up, we would agree that that's not true. Secondly, we don't eat pork.
00:04:38.840Yeah, we got that in common for sure. Well, because we were trying to find something to eat,
00:04:42.820and he said something about it being halal, and I said kosher, so it's like the same thing as well.
00:04:47.420You know, similarities in that. Exactly. Kosher and halal are very close. I mean, some of the kosher laws
00:04:52.100are a little bit stricter, like non-Jews, not touching the meat and all that kind of stuff. In halal,
00:04:55.820we don't have that kind of thing, but the more humane way of slaughter, mentioning the name of God,
00:05:00.680cutting in the right way, not electrocuting or shocking it to death, and all those kinds of
00:05:05.220things would be in common as well. Many of the prayers that we have, you will find similar
00:05:11.200prayers in the Talmud and so on mentioned as well, like al-Fatiha, you will find the meanings of it
00:05:15.680in many Jewish scriptures as well and so on. Okay, now it's 1-0.
