“A witty retort from the ‘Fixer Upper’ star left a cheeky basketball fan tongue-tied.”
Chip Gaines, the charismatic star of Fixer Upper, recently displayed his quick wit and playful personality in an exchange with a college basketball fan who feigned ignorance about his identity.
The lighthearted banter began when the University of Kentucky’s Barstool Sports X account posted a photo of Chip and his wife, Joanna Gaines, with a humorous caption suggesting they steer clear of Baylor University’s head coach, Scott Drew. With the recent news of Drew potentially transitioning to the University of Kentucky, the post alluded to the Gaines’ notable alumni status at Baylor and their enthusiasm for its athletic program.
Here’s how Chip responded:
🤣 yall wish

Soon after, a user known as Coach T, with the handle @TymeDwn23, reshared the post, taking a playful jab at Chip’s fame. “Who tf is @chipgaines 😂,” they wrote. Chip, never one to back down from a playful exchange, fired back with a witty retort: “Do you kiss your mom with that mouth.. ask her who I am, she’ll know.”
Chip Gaines certainly knows how to deliver an entertaining clapback while keeping it light and fun!

In a heartwarming exchange between Coach T and his mother, the coach shared a screenshot of their text conversation about none other than HGTV star Chip Gaines. The amusing interaction began with Coach T asking his mom, “Do you know who Chip Gains is?” unintentionally misspelling Chip’s last name. Demonstrating her knowledge, Coach T’s mom replied, correctly spelling the Magnolia co-founder’s surname. This sweet detail didn’t escape Chip’s notice.
Chip playfully acknowledged his instincts about his mother’s awareness, stating, “Funny.. she spelled my name right. It’ll come to her 😘.” His prediction proved accurate as Coach T revealed that his mom soon recognized the famous couple. She described Chip as “the one with the beautiful wife,” praising Joanna’s renowned talent for transforming spaces into stunning creations.
The exchange took a humorous turn when Chip, married to the lovely Joanna since 2003, cheekily responded with an ‘I told you so,’ along with a thoughtful gesture. He offered to send Coach T’s mom gifts from their home and lifestyle brand, Magnolia. Staying true to his word, he tagged his assistant, who promptly reached out to ensure that Coach T’s mother would receive her special treat.
