So the last time, I think the last time we were physically together was when we worked together at Fox News. Crazy. Hosting a morning show whose name I will not mention. I've always been embarrassed in the name of that show. There's some nice people on the show, nice people working on the show. I don't want to attack the show, but the name always made me cringe. But anyway. Morning Joe. Morning Joe. So good. Morning Joe. You, me, Mika. Right. A lot of Xanax. Right. All of the neocons. Oh, my gosh. And then you went off into business. I think you're the only person I've ever seen leave an anchor position in television voluntarily. No one ever does that. They wait to – get destroyed in a sex scandal or get dementia or something.
Tucker Carlson 1:06
But you actually just left and went into business and were successful. And then you moved to Europe with your family, your beautiful family. And then the next time I heard of you, I was taking my trash out. And my neighbor goes, did you see what Clayton and Natalie said? And I'm like, I only know one Clayton and Natalie. And I was like, Clayton Morris, Natalie Morris. And he's like, yeah, and redacted their show. Did you see it? And I was like, no. Anyway, and then I dove in and I saw that you had become legit successful in a completely different. business saying things that I loved and that were true and really brave. So it's just great to see you after all this time. What a life story you've had.
Clayton Morris 1:48
It's amazing. I'm just so thrilled. I just saw you in the parking lot and I was like, oh my God, I'm going to run up and give you a hug because it's been eight or nine years. Yeah. It's crazy to think, I mean, the trajectory and I find it very difficult to relate to people that haven't been beat up scratched, beat up, gone through the ringer, you know, like there's, it's like, that's for sure. You're operating at a different level now, you know?
Tucker Carlson 2:12
And so, well, it's funny. I do remember you in commercial breaks. Cause on those morning shows, you have really long commercial breaks. Yeah. And then, you know, one anchor will take a segment or whatever. There's like a lot of time sitting on the dumb couch. And you never wasted a second of it. I'd like stare off into space like a dog or text my wife, naughty things. But you were constantly either doing business or reading about things. I'll never forget that. You were totally absorbed in your studies and your work in commercial breaks. Um, how did you wind up with Redacted? Like, how did that, I've never even asked you, how'd you, how'd that happen?
Clayton Morris 2:49
You know, after we left, so 10 years at Fox, great time, had a blast. But, you know, you realize, oh, I've been doing the same sort of segments over and over again. You know, you're doing like the same breakfast cereal segment over and over again after 10 years and you're... You're saying, okay, I want something different now. I want to be able to see my kids on the weekend. I don't want to have to wake up at 3.30 in the morning, you know, and when everyone else is at the park with their kids on a weekend. You know, people at bagel shops and stuff like that. And so I didn't get to do that. And my wife would send me pictures of what the kids were doing, you know, making little projects or things. And I would be at work, which is, you know, great.
Clayton Morris 3:26
So then, you know, it was after 10 years, I said, okay, enough is enough. And it's time to do something for myself and for my family. And then we thought about where in the world we would live. What part of the country would we live in? And we started thinking bigger about, well, maybe we'll just have this adventure and go to Europe and give that a shot. And we thought, well, Portugal, that's close enough to the East Coast. It's actually faster to fly from the East Coast of the U.S. to Lisbon than it is from the East Coast to San Francisco, where my wife's family is from. So, great. The kids are young enough. We have three kids. Like, let's give them this adventure. Let's try it for ourselves.
