What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSpeaking of deals, China and the EU just made one about hybrid cars, and I found a guy.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Japan Times reports a shared understanding would moderate Chinese hybrid exports to Europe, cutting imports of several million cars over four years.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining us is Brindle Haverford-Quist, wellness influencer.
Brindle Haverford-QuistKenji, thank you.
Brindle Haverford-QuistI start every morning with a sponsored hybrid sunrise routine: warm lemon water, ten deep breaths, and a long stare at a Prius.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay. The Guardian says China agreed to halve hybrid exports. AP says it's an interim deal, per an EU envoy. Is your routine halved too?
Brindle Haverford-QuistNever. I now do half the breaths twice as loud. Use code HYBRID20 for twenty percent off my Hybrid Harmony Candle.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI just tried that code. It says, quote, nice try, buddy. Does it exist?
Brindle Haverford-QuistIt exists spiritually. The website is still in a healing phase. Try HYBRID21, or HYBRID twenty-twenty, or just type your feelings in.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, that's four codes and zero discounts. Back to the story. Do you actually know what this deal means for a car buyer?
Brindle Haverford-QuistNot a clue. But my morning routine has a gas-electric chakra, and I feel it shifting. Also, my candle smells like a warm dashboard.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPer the reports, details are still interim and nobody has confirmed the final terms. So your chakra is ahead of the diplomats.
Brindle Haverford-QuistThat's the brand, Kenji. Ahead of the diplomats, behind on my taxes. Code HYBRID twenty-five. Please. I'm begging.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe'll have to leave it there. Thanks, Brindle. Brock, you're up with the weather. Please tell me something is falling from the sky.
