TRANSCRIPT (Partial)
————————————

Ensar: So what I'm doing here is carving a little bit of this resin from this piece of Borneo Kinam and I'm going to let you smell it. And I want to see how you compare that to two things, one, the Vietnamese Kinam that we burnt before, I should say we heated before and how do you compare this to the oil that's on your hand.
Ehab: (Holding another piece of agarwood in his hand) Is this the same as that?
Ensar: No, this is from a different region. That is pure Malinau. I mean the White Kinam that's on the skin, that's pure Malinau. That's the most legendary region in Borneo-full stop. It's one of the highest ranks of oud that you can get is Malinau. It's like the legends of Koh Kong, Manipur, Malinau. These are the most prized regions for agarwood in their respective territories. From Borneo, Malinau is like the Holy Grail.
Ehab: I was in Borneo one time.
Ensar: Really!?
Ehab: Yes, I did a Chi Kung session there.
Ensar: Did you go looking for any trees?
Ehab: Actually, there wasn't much time to go looking for trees. I'm sure they were around me somewhere, though.
Ensar: What do you think of that?
Ehab: Now, the one we did in the previous session was the ……
Ensar: Vietnamese.
Ehab: Vietnamese. And this one is the Borneo.
Ensar: Yep……. You see this resin's so hard I can't even shave any off with this scalpel. There's this one black portion here except you can't carve anything out. (Ensar empties a little resin into the incense burner) Just try that.
Ehab: Feels like I'm walking through a rain forest.
Ensar: Yeah.
Ehab: That's what it feels like.
Ensar: It comes from a rain forest.
Ehab: The Borneo rain forest.
Ensar: Yeah.
Ehab: Maybe that's why it smells like that. But it does smell like a rain forest….like you know the moss that you smell when you're walking through.
Ensar: Like how would you grade the psyco-activity factor on this one?
Ehab: To tell you the truth, I'm still affected by the oud you put on me a few minutes ago.
Ensar: I mean I'm going to have to apologize to you and our viewers. I'm just gone right now. I can't, I can't….you need me to say anything?
