HODA SHOW AND DON AND MASZZ. >>> JOINED NOW BY CHIP AND
JOANNA GAINES, FROM THE SHOW "FIXER UPPER."
>> IF YOU'RE A FAN, YOU KNOW THAT CHIP HAS A NEW BOOK COMING
OUT. THERE IT IS.
"BIG REVEAL," YOUR FIRST LOOK AT THE COVER OF "CAPITAL GAINES."
I WANT TO PUT IT ON THE BIG STREEN.
TELL US ABOUT THE COVER. >> LOTS OF CONTROVERSY, THERE
WERE THREE OPTIONS. AS YOU KNOW.
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS CAME AND WENT.
WE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THREE. PUT IT ON INSTAGRAM.
AND THIS PHOTO LOST. BY A HUGE MARGIN.
I'M WRITING A BOOK. I WANT IT TO BE ABOUT ME AND THE
EXPRESSION I WANT IT TO CAPTURE. THAT WAS ONE OF THE AD LIB
MOMENTS THAT HAPPENED AT THE FARM.
WEPT JUMPING OFF THE PAGE. >> HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT THE
PICTURES? >> I LOVE IT.
>> GOOD THE WEIRD GOING. >> IT WAS ON THE WAY TO THE
SHOOT. SO, WE WERE DRIVING IN THE ATV.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS THIS WAS THE ONE THAT WASN'T MEANT TO BE.
IT WAS THE OTHER ONES THAT HAD THE LIGHTS, THE CAMERA.
>> ARE YOU FIXING YOUR HAIR RIGHT NOW?
>> HE IS. >> HAS HE GONE HOLLYWOOD NOW?
>> I'VE GOTTEN POMPOUS. I NOTICE MY REFLECTION.
NEW YORK IS NOT A GREAT PLACE. >> THE FIRST STEP IS TO
ACKNOWLEDGE YOU'VE BECOME POMPOUS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOOK.
WHAT ARE YOUR FANS GOING TO SEE? >> I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ABOUT
MYSELF. BUT WHEN WE WROTE THE MAGNOLIA
STORY TOGETHER, SOMETHING WAS BORN IN ME.
A THE PROCESS OF IT, THE STORY TELLING, THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE
CAPTIVATED ME. WITH MY BOOK, I WANTED IT TO BE
COMICAL AND INSIGHTFUL. >> I LIKE THE SUBTITLE.
SMART THINGS YOU HAVE LEARNED BY DOING STUPID STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF STUPID STUFF? >> WHEN WE WERE FIRST DATING,
CHIP AND HIS BUDDIES WOULD TELL CHIP STORIES.
AND I THOUGHT, THESE GUYS ARE LYING.
THEN, I GET MARRIED TO HIM. AND HE IS CRAZY.
>> TONING THOSE STORIES DOWN. >> IT'S REALLY COOL.
THE STORIES, THEY'RE HUMOROUS. BUT THE LESSONS THAT CHIP
LEARNED FROM THEM. THERE'S WHIT AND THOUGHTFUL
STUFF. >> WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO
SEE YOU FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE DONE SEGMENTS WITH YOU.
SINCE THEN, YOUR LIVES HAVE CHANGED.
THEY'VE EXPLODED. YOUR SHOW IS POPULAR IN AN
UNDERSTATEMENT. AT THE TOP OF THE RATINGS EVERY
WEEK. WHAT'S THIS RIDE BEEN LIKE FOR
YOU? >> THE BOOK DIVES INTO THAT
STUFF. WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE PUBLICED
OUT OF COMPLETE OBSCURITY. IT'S BEEN AN UNBLEELIBLE WILD
RIDE. AS WE STARTED CHRONICLING
THOSE EXPERIENCES.
MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE POPPED OUT ON THE PAGES.
AND THE EXPERIENCES IS ALMOST INDESCRIBABLE.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT. SO MANY PEOPLE -- ANYBODY SAYS,
I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT. I THINK I CAN MAKE A BUSINESS.
YOU ACTUALLY DID IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU HAD DOING
FOR YOU? WHAT WAS THE SPECIAL CAUSE?
>> I THINK SURPRISED. WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IT WAS?
>> I THINK YOU HAD GUTS. YOU HAD THE COURAGE TO DO IT.
I THINK WE ALL ARE LIKE, MAYBE I COULD DO -- OH, NO.
I HAVE TO KEEP MY DAY JOB. >> YOU'RE ALSO REAL.
PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE WATCHING TWO PEOPLE THAT THEY
MAY KNOW. >> AND IRONICALLY, THAT'S WHAT
CAPTIVATED ME ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK COVER.
JUST THE IDEA THERE WAS NOTHING STAGED ABOUT IT.
WE HAD SOME COMMENTS ON IT. LOOKED LIKE MAYBE I WAS
CONSTIPATED. OR I WAS HAVING A SEVERE MID
LIFE CRISIS OF SORTS. BUT UNSKRIPTDED, UNSTAGED.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE REAL ELEMENT IS THE SECRET INGREDIENT.
>> THAT'S THE BEAUTY, YOU CAN WATCH IT OFF WITH YOUR FAMILY.
WE HAVE A BACK SPLASH. CHECKED ALL OF THE BOXES.
>> THEY HAVE A BINGO GAME GOING ON.
>> WE'LL CHANGE THINGS UP IN SEASON FIVE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE BOOK IS CALLED
