Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Raymond Liu. And I'm Kayla Lopez. Today, Disney's live-action Moana crashes at the box office.
And why the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger isn't a done deal just yet. It's Tuesday, July 14th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
Good morning. Today, we've got Kayla back on the pod. Welcome back, Kayla.
Thanks so much for having me.
Chipotle fans all over the world, you might love this. The popular fast casual restaurant chain is opening up its first ever restaurant in Mexico. Yes, that means it's hoping it'll be successful as an American brand that makes Mexican-inspired food and selling it back to Mexicans. The inaugural store will open up in the Monterey metro area and hopefully expand into Mexico City by 2027. Kayla, this is a pretty bold move here. You think it'll work?
Honestly, I think it might. Maybe this is just my opinion, but I feel like Chipotle is so far removed from actual Mexican food that maybe it'll feel like it's just a healthy salad bar moving into town. But this isn't the first time that an American company has tried to sell food back to the country that inspired its menu. For example, Taco Bell tried and left Mexico in 2010, and Domino's Pizza actually left Italy in 2022.
Well, I don't know. Maybe it could work today. You have social media and everyone asking for a double chicken. Maybe Chipotle sees something that we've done, but we shall see. And now a word from our sponsor, Ultra Running. Hey, Kayla, do you like to stay out there?
No, that's Macy's thing, and I'm scared of her.
To be honest, I kind of am too. But I meant running on the trail or road or just living a long, healthy life. You know, Altra's thing.
Oh, yes. Altra running shoes are designed to give you room for your toes for comfort, balance, and strength. Most other shoes are narrow at the toe, but Altra has more room for your toes so they can spread out and your feet can stay in a natural position.
They actually make shoes shaped like feet. What a concept.

The US resumed strikes against Iran on Monday, hours after President Trump said he would reinstate a blockade on Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz. He also announced the US would charge 20% on every cargo shipment as compensation for its costs. Now, he hasn't detailed exactly how this would work, but said plans would be made immediately. In a post on his social media, the president said the USA will be, from this point forward, known as the, quote, guardian of the Hormuz Strait and gave a deadline of 4 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi responded with a post on X saying, Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and will remain so forever. The dueling comments means it'll likely be another continued standoff over the control of the Strait.
And to go over briefly of the timeline, the Trump administration stated that an interim peace deal had been made back in mid-June, including pulling back the U.S. naval blockade. Reports indicated progress was moving forward up until July 7th when Iran was accused of striking three ships in the Strait. The US responded by striking dozens of targets in Iran and reinstating sanctions on Iran's oil sales. Then, on July 8th, Trump declares that the ceasefire was over but says negotiations can continue while fears of the war perk back up again. Kayla. Any new fee means a potential threat to raise fuel costs and a 20% charge would work out to be about $32 million for a fully loaded crude carrier at current oil prices, according to Bloomberg.
