>> that's your latest forecast. guys? >> all right, dylan. thank you. now to the "it" couple of reality tv, chip and joanna gaines. jenna caught up with the stars of the hit hgtv show "fixer-upper" to tk about the secret of their success. >> i went back to my home, waco, texas. it may not seem like the epicenter of one of most popular shows on tv, but each week up to

unassuming city in the hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite couple. and now mine. chip and joanna gaines. >> we're chip and joanna gaines. >> reporter: at first it seems like a picture-perfect movie. boy meets girl, starts a family and lives happily ever after. >> come on, mama! >> reporter: but this isn't hollywood. this is waco, texas. and this is chip and joanna's reality. as the star of hgtv's er upper," the show follows the couple as they balance flipping homes with raising their four young children. viewers are wowed wit stunning transformations. >> yes! >> yes! >> oh, my god! >> reporter: combining chip's construction job with joanna's distinctive designs and offering a window into their sometimes goofy -- >> wow. >> reporter: -- always loving marriage. >> i really love you, jojo.

that. >> reporter: with more than 25 million viewers, it is the highest rated show in hgtv's history. >> people say, is this an improbable story? what would you say? >> i think really, it's bordering on impossible. >> reporter: their rise from home flippers to tv stars is the focus of their new book. "the magnolia story." the first time you met was at your dad's tire store. >> yes. >> super romantic. >> very romantic. he knew how to draw me out. i'm more introverted. i remember leaving t plan, a lot of that stuff was really thought provoking. >> i was a lot more superficial. i was attracted to her hotness. >> oh, right. >> then when she started talking, i was like, and she's got gorgeous lips. >> stop. >> i didn't realize that. >> reporter: chip and joanna got married and moved in. but their first home as husband and wife was in desperate need of some love. >> as far as design, i had no idea what i was doing. our first fixer upper together, we really learned how to work

decided to open their own home goods store. at first joanna was hesitant but chip jumped in. >> i have a very high fear tolerance. when i think about starting a business, i would call that, on a scale of 1 to 10, like a 1. first thing that happens, you go start a store, it didn't work. best thing that happens, you go start a store, you are picked up by a reality television show, you become a multi-millionaire. >> oh, don't say that! >> and you move to the bahamas. massive success and it wasn't long before people wanted more, so the two started a business flipping homes. but like most, the housing crisis hit chip and joanna hard. >> we're just some sleepless nights. >> when you are tested at that level, i think the stuff that you learn and what you get out of it is i think the stuff that gets you to the long haul. >> reporter: they came out on the other side stronger. and then -- they got an interesting call. somebody came calling and said, we have a crew. let's shoot a show.

he was like do not call them back. >> no way, jose. >> reporter: but joanna did call back and the rest is history. "fixer upper" is now a bona fide national hit and chip and joanna are quickly expanding to a full-fledged lifestyle brand, including an online store, furniture line, bakery, magazine, and more. but at the heart of all they do is the love for the town they call home. so within the last year, they purchased a landmark of the waco skyline. a pair of rusty they converted into their retail store, magnolia market. and the town has seen a revival from dallas to dubai, people from around the world come to the silos. with up to 35,000 visitors a week, it is quickly become the biggest tourist attraction in waco. >> when you see these folks, especially the ones that have traveled so far to get here, it is hard not to fall in love. >> want people to know that we're just a normal couple from waco.

we really like each other. >> chip and joanna just wrapped up shooting season four of "fixer upper" which premiers in november. i have to say, it is quite addicting. it is a favorite show of mine. i will disclose, also my mother's. >> we heard. big family. you guys have really shown people how it's done. here's my question. what's it like to work together as husband and wife? because a lot of people might be could do that. >> yeah. we joke, it's not for everybody. we have just somehow -- the cards were dealt and jo and i love to work together. we love to be together. but we joke to some of our friends that if we hadn't have gotten so lucky, we probably would have killed each other by now. >> when you guys first started out, did your dad say to you, chip, like why don't you get a real job? you were just flipping houses and doing your own thing. >> yeah. it is really funny.

what they referred to as "flipping houses" is kind of like a thing. i have become a rock star. i know y'all don't know exactly who i am. back in my hometown, people go bananas every time they see me. but back in 2003, nobody knew about flipping houses. that was a little bit before the craze. so my father-in-law thought that i didn't have a job. so for the first two years of our marriage, i owned rental properties, i was in a construction business, we were ro our own degree, so here he was asking me on a weekly basis, so, have you found a job yet? how you doing? >> joanna, you have four children, i think between 11 and 6. i'm going to go with five children because you also have to deal with chip who can be a little bit of handful. >> yes. yes. >> she calls me the triplets. >> you're off by two kids there. >> i would rather take all four kids to the store than just chip. for sure.

we known be with you jenna? >> ten years. >> i've never seen you this animated over a story or a couple. >> i definitely have a major marriage crush. is that a thing? can you have a crush on a couple? >> i'm telling you, it is mutual. we met jenna for the first time a week or two back in waco, texas. since then, her nickname back home is long legs. >> you want to hear some of her nicknames around here? >> oh, look at the time. >> y'all, they town. waco is a totally different place because of them. i mean that's the best of america. >> i know it is near and dear to you guys, for sure. thank you so much. we're just getting started with you, chip and joanna. you'll be back in our next hour. we should mention, the new book is called "the magnolia story." you can also see jenna's full interview at today.com. coming up next, a comfort food classic. another one. siri is whipping up the ultimate tomato soup and grilled cheese
