'''Copitz''' is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at [[14 Branchland Court|his home]].

On 19 May 2018, Copitz and his friends went to Chris's house to give him fanart he had drawn. Chris was overjoyed to meet them and [[TooManyGames|kissed each of them on the cheek]],<ref name=kiss></ref> which he thought they found flattering<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997967420575760384</ref> and agreed to do a video with them.
 
The video took place on 26 May 2018, with the videos released a few days later. A highlight is Chris saying that he regrets being more infamous than famous while hearing about the recent documentary made about him. He also says that he still goes to Anytime Fitness and has a membership, but "had to relocate" to one that wasn't in Ruckersville. He mentions that some unknown friends took him to see the movie ''Pokémon: I Choose You''.

[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: People probably, uh-[''jump cut''] replied to you on [[Twitter]] when you posted the picture of us, then I posted it on Kiwi Farms.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I didn't even know what the Kiwi Farms was, I w- I just thought like [''jump cut''] It was a place to maybe brag about my experience, you know, [Chris laughs] 'cause it was the first thing I thought of when I got home, but then I realized... that wasn't such a good idea and [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Mmm.] th- most of the people on the forums were telling me it wasn't a good idea either.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Eeh.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Um, but, you know-
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color> (''interrupting''): I forgive you this time.

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Online, offline, [''raspberry-like sound''], what did I say.  I-[''Chris uses an extremely high-pitched and loud sing-song voice'']I kept sayin' words!!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How did you feel about the videos that he made?

[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, it might- you know, that would actually be a good idea because it could pick up the business that Toys "R" Us, um, [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Lost.] would have lost, yeah.

<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, yeah.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Y- you've met some good people out there.  I mean, we're here, right? You know. [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.] Yeah, we're- we're trying [''camera suddenly zooms in on Chris's torso''] to be friendly.  [''all laugh'']

<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>:[''normal voice''] It's like, almost half full, and I like being... optimistic.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You're a half-full kinda...
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: -person.  Yeah.  [''strange, deep voice that is probably supposed to be an Optimus Prime impression''] I'm an optimist.  [[Transformers|My name is Optimus.]]

=== (9:36-10:35) Chris rambles about bells and bananas===
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I wanted to ask you how you feel about- [''jump cut''] - Richard Simmons.
 
[''Copitz most likely meant [[Robert Simmons]].'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh... yeah.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Hearing his name definitely rings the bell.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''sucks teeth''] Yeah.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Rings the bell.
 
[''Chris suddenly moves his head to his left shoulder, imitating a bell.'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>:[''deep voice''] Glung.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Is that the [[Trolls|troll]] bell?
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What's that called, a gong, yeah.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, no, I was actually thinking if a really big bell-
 
[''They all start talking at the same time'']
 
<font color="purple">'''Carson'''</font color>: Oh, I got it.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, yeah, like a really big, like a really big, yep, like...
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: -like in a high tower.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, although, I think this one would probably have a crack in it . Not like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bell the Liberty Bell,] exactly, just like, you know, just a f- kind of a crack, because, I dunno, we're not perfect, we're all a little cracked somewhere.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah. [''jump cut''] Carson on his face.
 
[''The camera zooms in on Carson, showing in more detail the bandages on his face.'']
 
<font color="purple">'''Carson'''</font color>: Yeah, ha ha, [''jump cut''] my face is destroyed.
 
[''The camera zooms in on Chris's hands as he pours himself tea.'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: W- we're all- [''drops spoon''] Whoops!
 
[''The camera zooms back out'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ha, there's a little fumble, but it wasn't an epic fail.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah.  No, not an epic fail. Could've been an epic fail.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What's your opinion on Minions?  How do you like Lee's Minion shirt he's wearing?
 
[''A picture of Lee with a Minion shirt is shown on the screen.'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Probably, uh-
 
[''Chris suddenly starts talking an an obnoxiously loud, nasal, and high-pitched voice.  The camera starts zooming in on his face, and the audio is edited to be echoey, making Chris's outburst even more terrifying than it already was. It's hard to tell what's Copitz's editing, and what's just Chris.'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [[Random-access humor|{{RageQuote|AH, MINION, DEY SO FUNNY,<br/>GNA GNA GNA, BANANA.<br/>BANANA BANANA BANANA.<br/>BANANA! MINANABANANA!<br/>THBBPTHBPT!}}]]
 
[''The camera mercifully zooms back out, the audio returning to normal.'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, I not- I've seen the first Despicable Me movie.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yup.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
 
=== (10:36-12:11) Chris talks politics and Danger Dolan ===
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Th- this is kinda personal, you don't have to answer this, but, wh- what are maybe your political opinions?  How do you feel about the President?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''stress sigh'']  I'm not, [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid!!!|I'm not totally into politics, I'm kind of a neut- I'm kind of neutral]], but I definitely wish that, uh, Obama could stay in office,
 
[<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah.] but if it had to be what it had to be(?) then you know I voted for Hillary.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: -yeah, but instead we got [[Pmurt|Dona-[''long gargling noise'']-rump.]]
 
[''Copitz laughs'']
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: An' I learned recently to roll my 'R's, an' it was by accident.
 
[''Copitz laughs'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: My tongue was in the right place, and I went with it.
 
[''The gargling noise is apparently supposed to be rolling his 'r's, but it's not remotely like what it should be.  It sounds more like an 'L' sound than an 'R' sound, and his tongue is definitely not "in the right place".'']
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And, you know, Danger [[Planet Dolan|Dolan]] does it, ud, [''odd voice''] I am Danger Dolan, und today I'll be a [''gargling noise''] rater(?), and I will tell you the ['''rolled 'r's"''] treek(?).  And why does he say it like 'trees', by the way, it's truth, not trees.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I was wondering, 'cause I saw- you know how, like, when somebody likes a Tweet, it shows up on your timeline sometimes, on [[Twitter]]?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh, yes.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: And I saw you- you liked one of Donald Trump's tweets.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''mumbling''] Wait, you talkin' about, uh, earlier today, oh, yeah, it was like one having to do with the, er, the American people bein' held... over dere... in wherever it was.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: They're being released, they're coming back to America, they reunite with their... family.  Of the White House.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So you're just happy to hear it.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.  I like good news.  And [[My_Little_Pony#Chris_and_ponies|Tara Strong]] shared dat link, by the way.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Tara an' I, we hate Trump, but we do like the good news, and good things in life.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: The good news.  Well, you know, you gotta see the good in people sometimes, even if they're not so good.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''earsplittingly loud and high pitched voice''] YEAH, EVEN TIMMY TURNER IS SO POSITIVE ALL THE TIME!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: That's, that's-
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''continuing the voice''] YEEEEAH, LOOK AT MY FAIRY GODPARENTS!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: That's Tara Strong.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''odd laugh''] [''normal voice''] She's really awesome.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
=== (12:12-?) Chris talks about his Cutie Mark ===
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Lee, can you get in front of this right here? What is this, uh, [''unintelligible''] character?
 
[''camera zooms up to something Chris is holding'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: That's my cu- That's my Cutie Mark.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, okay, from, uh, My Little Pony.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, but it's my- it's my special Cutie Mark, I took multiple quizzes to find out what I be.  I ended up being, you know, to make my OC pony [[Night Star]]. That's her Cutie Mark, an' she and I share da Cutie Mark.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, cool, okay.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, and of course, if I- if I ever went to Equestria though, I wouldn't beco- I would not become, a unicorn, I'd become an [[ego|alicorn]], because I'm a bit higher up, just- just because of my rule in Cwcville and everything, and that w- that was kind of a di- thing, because y'know, it was like- y'know, I cou- I only drew [[Nightstar]] because I was like: "I could draw myself whatev- whichever way I wanted, so, I was like EH? I'll spoil myself, and I, had felt like I had wings... on my shoulders... for quite a long time, even longer than tha- for quite a number of years.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''Sings "I Believe I Can Fly by R Kelly."'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Just- just kind of an imagery of wings on my back.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''Looks straight at the camera''] We got a modern-day {{w|R. Kelly}} right here.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Modern day R Kelly?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Woah, woah, woah- wait, wait- The good parts of R Kelly. [''Laughs'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''Laughs and starts rapping''] I don't know about that, but you could do a rap, and we can do this and that- gettin' go blip blap blip blap.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: There you go. R Kelly.
 
[''Camera zooms in on Chris's face to finish the rap'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''Continues rapping''] I'm not a rapper, but I'm here to say, that y'all can do it, as you'd like your way.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think maybe you- you'll get into voice acting, sometime?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, possibly, if they- we get an anime show for Sonichu I'll voice myself and my son.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh! That would be so cool!
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And, y'know I would definitely want to make a deal with Funko for making some POP vinyl figures, of, myself and my family.
 
[''General agreement noises'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You've been let down by a lot of fake, uh...
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: People have been faking the, actual people, like [[Reggie_Fils-Aimé|Regis Fil Aime]] for one, yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, yeah, did you actually f- uh, fly out to Washington?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Nyooo.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: No, you didn't?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: No, we didn't fall for that.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It was funny, you drove out to...
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Cleveland.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: To Cleveland. And then it was that, old worn down house?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Not what you expected... not- not Julie, no.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Just a little old lady!~
 
<font color="purple">'''Carson'''</font color>: Now you were talking about, voice acting Sonichu, what would Sonichu sound like?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oooh, that's a good question.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, something close to the original, like, y'know, back in the adventures Saturday morning phase, somin- sounding like that, Um, ha! Robotnic totally got me with this, but nah, I ain't gonna be falled by that. Uh, but they're scratchin' rounders, I'm gonna go trip on them, hubre I am referring to the episode, rounder the genius. Which was the first episode of, Revenge of the Sonic the Hedgehog I had ever seen. It was the first time I'd heard Sonic's voice.
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: It's amazing that you can remember that.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, yeah.

{{Transcription}}
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you have any, umm, any real life friends you ever, umm, hang out with?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uhh, yeah, I have some real life friends that I do hang out with from time to time, yes.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Near [[Charlottesville,_VA|Charlottesville]]?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uhh, yes.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay, that's good. Did you meet them online, or did you -
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uh, mostly in person.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do they know about you from, from your your, uh, like, your fame on the internet?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Umm, like when we first met, most-most- majority did not know about me from the internet, and then they kind- they got to know me and they're like "Ehh, well we know Christine, we know Christian or Christine better than that."
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How's uhh, [[Barbara|Mrs. Barbara Chandler]] been doing?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, she's doing fair in general. She's getting up more. She's -
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: In her 70s now?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Now you're gonna make me think of her age now.
 
[''Copitz laughs'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, she's like 76, she'll be 77 later.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay, yeah. We- we saw her, she- she was a little concerned what we were doing at- at your door I remember.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, I calmed her down. I told her, like ya know "they're both fans, and it was a nice little visit."
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I was hoping you'd answer because I was afraid if she answered she might- she might slam the door on us.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, [''in a Barb impression''] ??. We're not home! We're (sic) not wanted! We're not interested! Go away!"
 
[''All laugh'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
[''Chris makes angry elderly noises'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: No, that's not the typical old- elderly lady I'm quite sure. I mean I've met a lot of very nice elderly women, I respect my seniors and elders.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, yup.
 
Cameraman: That's good.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: 'Specially since [[Bob_Chandler|my father]] was a senior citizen literally my entire life from birth.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, was- how old was he when you were born?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: If you wanna go beyond that, he was... 52 years old on conception.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: 52 years old on conception. [''Chris laughs''] So maybe 53 when you were born or so?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, that's about right.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think if you had, uh, gone to the Albermarle County Public School, maybe because of kind of like the more industrialized area than Greene County maybe you would've had a better experience in [[Greene County Primary School|Elementary School]] than you did with [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|Greene]]?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''in Pinkie Pie impression''] I have no idea!
[''Copitz laughs'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And I'm imitating Pinkie Pie saying that.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: And at least you're able to go to Richmond and, and I think- you think that going to [[Manchester_High_School|Manchester High]] impacted your- your life for the better?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yes, I do believe so.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Mhmm, you met some friends at [[PVCC]] too, didn't you?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Uhh, I didn't make as many friends at PVCC.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: No?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehhh, I met [[Mary_Lee_Walsh|people]], I tried, but it's like, ummm, [[Attraction_Sign|we couldn't really connect]].
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ahh, yeah.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I've, uh, started watching the new Rocky and Bullwinkle yesterday on Amazon Prime.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How do you feel about that?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh, I kinda liked it, it was classic silly, silly, silly. And [[Chris and socialization#MLP voice actresses|Tara Strong]] voicing Rocky J. Squirrel. I would definitely like to meet her one day if possible, 'cus, ya know, [''in ?? impression''] She does a very good ?? [''in a Twilight Sparkle impression''] and a Princess Twilight Sparkle.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Maybe- maybe if she, uh, she ever needs somebody to take over for her, you could do it. [''Copitz laughs'']
 
BACK: Yeah!
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I don't know, I'm not exactly [''in Bugs Bunny impression''] be the guy who did Bugs Bunny or [''in Daffy Duck impression''] Daffy Duck Sufferin' succotash!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laughing''] Not exactly, no.
 
[''Camera zooms in Chris makes [[Donald_Duck_impersonation|quacking noises]]'']
 
Cameraman: I can't do characters as well [<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah!] as well as you can.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I got kinda like a voice copy thing [''Copitz laughs''] and I tend to- it's like, ya know, when I'm talking with somebody else, just one other person, for a while I tend to sound like them after a time.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh really?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, but if it's like- when I'm in a group then it's kinda mixed so I end up with more natural voice more often in the conversation. [''in a Copitz impression''] I'm talking with you right now Christian and I can kinda get your voice down after you and I- you and me in this pow-wow. I mean, whaddya think? We sound a lil cool?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we sound pretty similar haha.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeeeah, we just ?? dudes.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Haha, pretty good.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Found a recent top ten, they uh, they top ten voi- top ten characters who were voice- multiple characters by voice- by the same actress. They put Tara at number four, but she was like, uh... the female- the only female in the top four, so she's pretty much the queen of voice acting.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, yeah.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: While the ki- while the se- well- I can't remember his name -
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Wow, the reqs were met, huh? ??
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: the king of voice acting is the guy who did Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and all of them.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, I can't remember his name [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Me neither], but he died a while ago, didn't he?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: But number two was Frank Welker. [''In Megatron voice''] "Do as I command! I am the Megatron!"
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Do you have any favorite YouTubers that you'd like to shout out?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Shout out Copitz!
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ha, Copitz, I'll give him that. I'd definitely want to give a shoutout to Emgo, Dr. Wolf, and uh, lemme think, Scribbler, I like- I like the way she reads the [[MLP]] comics. [''Copitz laughs''] Ehhh, I wan- I like watching WatchMojo.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh yeah, yeah, the top tens?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I noticed, when you're livestreaming, you have like such good quality, ummm, but cus you live in more of a neighborhood, but my internet's so bad, like, [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehhh, you could- ] if you saw the quality on my stream [laughs]
 
[''Chris refills his drink'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehhh, internet streaming quality, brought to you by Comcast XFinity!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, you get Comcast, I only get CenturyLink.
 
Cameraman: Yeah, I only get CenturyLink too.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Shall I top you off?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh sure, thank you.
 
[''camera zooms into Chris pouring drink into Copitz's cup'']
 
Cameraman: I can't stream at all on CenturyLink. [<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Really?] Yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah well, it depends where you are I guess, but... And Lee lives just outside the city, just south of, uh, Charlottesville, and still CenturyLink doesn't give him anything good.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh dear.
 
Cameraman: We're installing Ting, which is... yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You're getting Ting?
 
Cameraman: Hopefully soon. You have to get a certain amount of people.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It said a couple years ago they took Ting a little bit to your neighborhood, but not all.
 
Cameraman: Yeah, but they didn't like give it to anyone yet.
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Fiber-optic?
 
Cameraman: Yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Fiber-optic, fiber-optic is great, I'd love to have that.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay. Oh, so [[Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Watch_%26_Win_Sweepstakes||KB Toy store]] was in the [[Charlottesville_Fashion_Square|Fashion Square Mall]]!
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, it was.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, okay. Yeah, you know my- my favorite, uh, my favorite thing from the Fashion Square Mall that they- they closed, it seems like they closed everything there, nobody even really goes there anymore [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: yeee] seems like, was the uhh- the big candy store. I loved the candy store. And then the arcade, but that was before my time.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, I vaguely remember an arcade at Fashion Square.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, that was more your time than my time. My parents went there a lot.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh yeah, I remember. It was, uh, near where Spencer's is now, over there.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ah ha.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And which college are you going to?
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I'm hoping- umm, I'm graduating next year. I'm- I'm a junior in high school. So I'm, I'm hoping to go to VCU in Richmond. [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Okay.] That would be cool.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: My dad recommended PVCC so that's where I went. [<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yup, yeah?] He had this planned all the way out for me get me following his footsteps, but it just wasn't meant to be.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Didn't work out, did it?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, sorry, sir. Sorry I lived for bigger and better things. [''Chris laughs'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Bob did some good things, didn't he?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh yes, he designed the controls for many a machine including steel mills, saw mills, plastic mill- I think one of them was a crane. I found, uh, in old filing cabinets, 06:34 (?) was like patents that he had made and filed and all that. So, completed patents right there. You can't find his records at GE cus he hadn't worked there for WAY more than ten years.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, you probably feel bad having to sell some of his old stuff, don't you? But...
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, ya know, it was pretty much that time was the [[Stamps|postage stamps]].
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You know what? I'm- I wanted to mention to you, somebody I saw- I don't know if you saw this in your replies on Twitter, but somebody had I think a great idea. I don't know if you'd want to do this, but, if you sold like one [[Lego|LEGO]] for a dollar, umm, each, then people could just pay a dollar and they could have a LEGO that was owned by you! And, it goes in an envelope so you don't have to pay any extra shipping.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''Clearly uninterested''] [[Chris_and_work|Hmm, well... that's an... option...]]
 
07:22 <font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: ?? idea. Y'know, it's all up to you, but I thought it was neat. [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah...]. So I know you're kind of, uhh, discouraged to- to apply for jobs 'cus of like people can just look up your name and see everything about you.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, background check. Plus, I've tried, and nobody ever calls me back!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: They yeah, y'know, it's sad but they might just look up your name and see all the stuff people have 07:43 about you, which is- it's a shame. Y'know, keep trying though. There are jobs out there that are made for- that are made for people that have trouble getting jobs. You'll find something, or hope so.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And some jobs just in the makin'.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you maybe you'll ever think about going back to college?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, probably not. [<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: No?] Got too much going on on my plate.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, at least right now. You never know about the future.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: When you like go out to eat, do you uhh, like, do you usually go with uhh, with your mom or?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I end up going by myself.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Does she not like- does she just eat at home?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, a lot of the time, but she can go out to eat too.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah. Nice and relaxing.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: You know what's funny though? It made me think kinda, y'know? When one gets high and, y'know, it's like- I tend to get haunchy, and even sometimes-
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What does that mean? Haunchy?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It's like when you get drunk but rea-  when you're tired.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ahh, okay.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And like it happens not only when- it's like, especially when I'm really mentally tired, so it's like I could be physically going all over and I'm haun- mentally haunchy at the same time.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ahh.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, but then, uhh, also, I- I have uhh, drank- drank my share of [[Chris_and_drugs#Alcohol|alcohol]], and it's like I fou- I found that I have such a great sense of self-awareness and, this applies for when I'm haunchy too, it's like I'm still self-aware. [<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: so -] But anyway, so, I- you can get me drunk and I'm still aware of everything around me. I've accidentally got high off of uhh, like cold medicine one time.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ooh, how'd that happen?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, just, y'know, took a little bit more than I oughta and it just... zoopf. But yeah, high is just not my general thing to- I'm definitely more sober.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Okay, yeah, that's good. What's good for you but-
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, life gets tough, but if you, uhh, stay sober you tend to... get through it under your own power and feel more power yourself that way.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yeah, that's true.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I think we can all say when we found out, umm, like how close you live we were like "Wow, that's just crazy!" You hear about all this stuff online and... that's- it's a small world!
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, small piece of Virginia, and [[CWCville]]'s just north Vi- just in north Virginia!
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Is it? Where is CWCville exactly?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I'd have to pull up a Virginia map, I'll do that right now. Ehh, look it up on my phone.
 
[''Chris pulls out phone and an overlay appears shows the approximate location of CWCville to be around Fredericksburg, VA'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: CWCville is right by R- near Fredericksburg.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Fredericksburg
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Oh! That's where I wanna be.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: And you see the body of water because you remember there's a beachfront- there's like a beach front.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yup, right there at, uh, Rappahannock River.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''to Lee''] You said you wanna go to college there?
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Yeah, Mary Washington, yeah, a school in Fredericksburg. Yeah, it's very nice there.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I was in Fredericksburg a few weeks ago at the Rappahannock, it's definitely a nice place. I like it.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Normally you charge maybe, what, $100 for like commissioned videos and stuff, err uh shoutouts, is that right?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, fifty to a hundred and negotiable.
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Yup, but you only charged us $30? [<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehhh] Thought it'd just be fun to hang out, maybe?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah...
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Cut us some slack, as you said?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, make it easy for you- for y'all this time.
 
[''Everyone thanks Chris'']
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What kind of TV shows do you- do you maybe watch other than uhh My Little Pony?
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I watch Frasier. [''Collective "Oh!"''] Friends, and recently my loves and I we were watching Mom on Hulu.
 
[''jumpcut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''singing with all half-joining''] Billie Jean is not my lover!. She just a girl who says (sic) that I am the one! But the kiiiid is not my son!
 
==2nd Visit and Ghost Hunt==
On 22 March 2019, Copitz, along with two of his friends, went to visit Chris again. During this time, they went "ghost hunting" in the now abandoned DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, [[Virginia]].

GHOST HUNTING WITH CHRIS CHAN
</pre>
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What's up guys, we're here at the DeJarnette sanatorium. Uh- I'm here with Christine Weston Chandler.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''holding his hand up''] Yo. Yo!
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: AKA Chris Chan, and we're gonna be exploring this place searching for ghosts.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [[Hello, Juffalo|Ruffalo]]! (?)
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's gonna be ''pretty epic'' if I do say so myself.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laugh'']
[''jump cut to a chain-link fence'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you think you can fit through here, Christine?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I think I can manage.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright.
[''Copitz's backpack gets caught on the fence'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>:  Whup-up-up-up-up, you're caught. [''Chris helps unhook Copitz's backpack from the fence''] There you go.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Thank you.
[''jump cut to Chris grunting and struggling to make it through the broken fence gate'']
[''jump cut again to Chris entering the front of the building through a large broken window. The scrape of broken glass on the floor can be heard as Chris steps through'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Nice job.
[''Jump cut to Chris and Copitz wielding flashlights inside the building's dark interior'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So there's a bunch of different levels to this building.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''in a strange voice''] I see dead people. I think the ghosts are comin' after me. [''laugh'']
[''camera pans to the wall Chris is illuminating, showing graffiti that says "Fuck you!"'']
[''jump cut to a very short time later; Chris and Copitz are walking down a hall'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Christian, come here.
[''jump cut to Chris displaying his wrists'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I got quartz- uh, lightning quartz on my wrist.
[''the camera zooms in; the video becomes fuzzy before focusing the close-up on Chris's gloved hands'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It might take a- more than one try, but I'm able to do it on the first try often times, [''lifts his arms up, his forearms crossed at the wrists''] but I'm gonna make it grind in here. [''pulls his wrists against each other, making a loud click.''] Ah.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Should I stand back?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''trying again, another click is made''] ahh, sometimes it [''unintelligible'']. [''click''] Ahh, I can do this, now I can do it [''click'']
[''pan to Copitz'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What are you trying to do?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Tryin' to make it light. I know I'm able to do it.
[''pan to what looks to be Lee- though it may be another person- while Chris is finally able to get his rock to make light'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: THERE it is!
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Aw nice, nice.
[''cut to a hallway with bright light at the end of it'']
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''observing artwork of hot air balloons on the wall''] Well, that's a nice picture, with all the balloons there. [''reading graffiti on top of it''] My balloooon. I like this picture.
[''jump cut to Chris'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: So this is- uh- this is- uh, DeJarnette sanatorium.
[''jump cut to Copitz, his face illuminated by his flashlight'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's where- uh, Joseph DeJarnette- um, did his work. He's- uh, known for being a pretty famous eugenics doctor, and he's known to still roam the halls. As a ghost, obviously.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Wha' was 'is name?
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Closed down waaay long ago- his name was Joseph Dejarnette.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Joseph. [[Random-access humor|Hello, Joe, what do you know?]]
[''jump cut'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Do you believe in ghosts?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ehh, I've met ghosts- so, yes.
[''jump cut to outside'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: It's a nice view. Alright, the stairs are over this way.
[''jump cut to back inside the sanatorium'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: The next floor.
[''jump cut to Chris and Copitz looking at graffiti that reads "HeLP! Im TRA- pped on the ToP flooR"'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What does that say?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''attempting to read the graffiti''] I'm trap-red on the top floor.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I'm-
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Oh, "I'm ''trapped'' on the top floor".
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: This isn't the top floor!
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Sorry, I di-
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: How'd they get here?
[''jump cut to more graffiti'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''reading the graffiti''] "No [[Barack Obama|Obama]]!"
[''quick jump cut'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: What do you think about our current administration?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ahhhh... [[Pmurt|Trump]] sucks. That's enough said right there.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Think so?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''slightly distorted by reverberation due to his volume''] We can replace him with anybody, but I know we'll replace with Lisa Simpson 2000(?) after the [[Dimensional Merge|dimension merge]].
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, by- Lisa Simpson will be the next president?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yep.
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, okay.
[''quick jump cut'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: You think everything in cartoons will come true?
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''sigh''] It's all- everything that's already been... presented on media has already comes (sic) true. In the sense over there, in our sister dimension, [[Dimensions#C-197|C-197]]
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Ohhh, okay.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: But as for future determinations, that's still to be determined.
[''jump cut to [[Nazis|swastika]] graffiti on the ground'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Check that out.
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''on top of Copitz''] You know, the swastika used to mean good luck.
[''jump cut to a dark room'']
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright, here it says [''reading graffiti''] "Joseph, come out"
[''quick jump cut'']


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I don't really want him to come out, to be honest, because he's dead and ghostsnn' are a little scary.
'''Christian Opitz''',<ref>https://twitter.com/Copitz3/status/1218255646602211331 ([https://archive.fo/qVWAk archive])</ref> known by the username '''Copitz''' (born 17 January 2001),<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220402160511/https://twitter.com/copitz3</ref> is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on [[Twitch]] who lives in [[Charlottesville]]. Starting in [[May 2018]], he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'' docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at [[14 Branchland Court|his home]].


<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Not the geese, man.
==Initial Visit==
Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]]. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house in [[May 2018]]. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Ahhh, the only- you're only scareda' ghosts because you don't have much knowledge about them.
{{quotebox|Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Oh, my mistake.
I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!


[''jump cut'']
I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191108230701/https://twitter.com/cwcsonichu/status/997957259182227458</ref>}}


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: I think I can hear something.
After this interaction, Copitz signed up to [[Kiwi Farms]] and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/</ref>


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Uhh, I'm gonna go this way [''laugh'']
{{quoteboxbrown|Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Yeah, I feel something.
[[File:CWC with Copitz 1.jpg|200px]]}}


[''jump cut to stairs'']
Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Alright, let's go down, let's go down.
{{quoteboxbrown|Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373082</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-3#post-3373110</ref>}}

==Interview==
[[File:CWC with Copitz 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris with Copitz on the day of the interview]]
{{main|A Chat with Christine Weston Chandler/Chris Chan}}


[''jump cut to graffiti that reads "Pots 4 sale'']
Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''unintelligible, talked over by Copitz'']
{{quoteboxbrown|The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/post-3373216</ref>}}
{{quoteboxbrown|I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/i-met-chris-chan-today.43299/page-7#post-3373699</ref>}}


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''laughing''] Pots for sale? Is there- is there a pot dealer in here?
On 26 [[May 2018]], Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on [[Kiwi Farms]], where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.


[''jump cut, rumbling can be heard'']
==Ghost Hunting==
{{Main|Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan}}


<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Got some people.
During [[February 2019]], almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.  


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Hello? Hello? Who's there? Hello?
==The Chris Chan Conspiracy==
{{Main|The Chris Chan Conspiracy}}


[''jump cut, no more rumbling'']
During [[December 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series '[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to [[14 Branchland Court]], and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: We're friendly!
==Other Interactions==
[[File:CWC Copitz May 2019.jpg|thumb|200px|Copitz giving Chris a ride in [[May 2019]]]]
{{see also|Xleepy|Pappy Van Poodle Interview}}


[''camera man laughs'']
Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his [[Discord]] server, however he never chatted.


<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Yeah. We're not ghosts!
On 3 [[May 2019]], Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.<ref>[[:File:Copitz's Server - Copitz chats.png]]</ref>


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Can you hear us?
On 25 [[May 2019]], Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was [[Pappy Van Poodle Interview|posted online]].


[''quick jump cut'']
In [[February 2020]], Copitz's friend [[Xleepy]] reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''quietly''] Ah, whatever, I don't think we're ghosts(?)
On 25 [[December 2022]], Copitz left a comment on [[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History]] Episode 70,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw9OtvE0r6Q&t=781s&ab_channel=GenoSamuel2.1</ref> which featured his ghost hunting footage.


[''camera man laughs'']
{{quoteboxbrown|holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.


[''jump cut'']
Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Don't worry guys, I think [[Magi-Chan]] Sonichu has us protected.
Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit


<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: [''on top of Chris''] I can still hear them.
I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.


[''jump cut to Copitz's camera pointed at a small unoccupied room with a boarded up window which has a hole in it'']
This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.


<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: Follow my lead. We're calm, we're cool.
Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!}}
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Let's see- [''walking into the room''] let's check out this little peephole.
 
[''jump cut to a close up of the peephole'']
 
<font color="red">'''Lee'''</font color>: Maybe we can kick it open.
 
[''quick jump cut to the camera focused on the external landscape'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: I don't wanna do that. It's clearly professionally boarded.
 
[''jump cut to junk'']
 
<font color="green">'''Copitz'''</font color>: Lookit this.
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: It's a mess alright.
 
[''jump cut'']
 
<font color="blue">'''Chris'''</font color>: [''ghost sounds''] Ooooooohhhh

Copitz
Information
Name Copitz
Date of birth (2001-01-17) January 17, 2001 (age 23)
Gender Male
Race White
Nationality American

Christian Opitz,[1] known by the username Copitz (born 17 January 2001),[2] is a YouTuber and a speedrunner on Twitch who lives in Charlottesville. Starting in May 2018, he began visiting Chris and recording videos of him and his friends chatting with Chris while visiting local areas. Copitz would also play a role in developing The Chris Chan Conspiracy docuseries, organizing a meet-up between TheGamerFromMars and Chris at his home.

Initial Visit

Copitz described himself as a big fan of Chris, and obsessively watched Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History. Upon realizing that he lived just 20 minutes away from him, he drew a batch of fanart and went with his friend Eric to Chris's house in May 2018. They rang the doorbell, gave the fanart, and took a picture with him. Chris gave both of them a kiss on the cheek, and then made a tweet about the interaction. Copitz also mentioned the possibility of them making a video together.

Today two very handsome Young Men came to my house to Hand Deliver some Fan Art!

I humbly accepted their Gifts, gave them Great Big Kisses (on the CHEEK) and sent them on their way!

I might even do a Video with them Sometime Soon! 🌈🌈[3]

After this interaction, Copitz signed up to Kiwi Farms and made a thread on the forum, not knowing that the forum largely has a negative opinion of Chris.[4]

Chris Chan lives only 20 minutes away from me and I am a big fan, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to meet THE CWC. I drew some fan-art and drove to Chris's house with my friend, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a friendly and familiar face. Chris took the art and let me take a picture of us, gave us a big kiss on the cheek and we we left. It was a very interesting experience to meet somebody so iconic.

Kiwi Farms started insulting him for many reasons, including his appearance. Copitz decided to clarify his intentions.

Barb showed up to the door while we were talking to Chris, but we did not speak to her.[5]
Just to clear things up, I didn't have any intentions other than saying hi and asking if Chris wanted to make a video with me just for fun. Nothing else. I apologize that I did not make my intentions clear in the first place.[6]

The Fanart

Interview

Copitz started talking about his planned video in his KF thread.

The video I am hoping to make will just be us hanging out, going to McDonalds, and/or playing some video games - just something for fun, not making fun of Chris in any way.[7]
I definitely see why you say that. I appreciate you trying to be reasonable, but I am not planning on going any farther than us making a video together, and there's a small chance we would make more in the future if Chris would want to. But I have no intentions to do any livestreaming together or anything of the sort. Yes, I may see a marginal increase of views on my YouTube channel, but that is only somewhat of a side-benefit. Mostly I just thought it would be an iconic experience to meet and make a video with such a popular personality online, and I felt like it would be fun. Bragging here on kiwifarms was just the first thing I thought of when I got home, as I have seen this website before in relation with Chris, but I realize now that this was not the place to be posting, even though I probably would have ended up being posted on here by a third party anyway.[8]

On 26 May 2018, Copitz went with Lee and a group of other friends to interview Chris. Copitz posted it on Kiwi Farms, where it was largely criticized for the lack of interesting questions asked, however this did not bother him. The video is most notable for firmly establishing the friendship between Copitz and Chris.

Ghost Hunting

Main article: Ghost Hunting with Chris Chan

During February 2019, almost an year after their last interaction, Copitz, Lee, and a third friend all visited Chris to ghost hunt at the DeJarnette Center for Human Development in Staunton, Virginia. Not much actual ghost hunting happens in the video, and the four mostly just walk around and talk about ghosts and other topics. Copitz later complimented Chris on his empathy for the victims of Joseph DeJarnette, both on and off camera.

The Chris Chan Conspiracy

Main article: The Chris Chan Conspiracy

During December 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber TheGamerFromMars, who wanted to interview Chris for his documentary series 'The Chris Chan Conspiracy'. Copitz accepted, and contacted Chris to plan the interview with him. Eventually, GFM drove to 14 Branchland Court, and met up with Chris and Copitz. They walk with Chris in his backyard, play games with him in his room, walk around the neighborhood, go to a restaurant, before ending the video by chatting to Chris on his gazebo. Copitz later released a deleted scene on his YouTube channel.

Other Interactions

Copitz giving Chris a ride in May 2019

Copitz is known to have invited Chris to his Discord server, however he never chatted.

On 3 May 2019, Copitz accidentally ran into Chris at the downtown mall, who asked him for a ride. Copitz agreed to give Chris a ride, and also took a picture with him.[9]

On 25 May 2019, Copitz was contacted by the YouTuber Nick Robinson, who wanted to arrange an interview with Chris about the character Pappy Van Poodle from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Copitz agreed with this, and set up a video call with Chris and Nick, which was posted online.

In February 2020, Copitz's friend Xleepy reached out to him in order to arrange a meeting with Chris, which would be recorded and added to Xleepy's channel trailer. Copitz contacted Chris, and he made the video with Xleepy on 29 February. Copitz is seen sitting next to Chris while he showcases his psychic powers.

On 25 December 2022, Copitz left a comment on Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History Episode 70,[10] which featured his ghost hunting footage.

holy shit hahaha this is awesome. ngl it's so weird but cool to see myself in the Geno documentary after obsessively watching that very same documentary for hours upon hours prior to ever meeting Chris.

Thank you Geno for sharing my video with people! And I'm glad you found some use of it

Just a correction, February was when we filmed the Dejarnette video, about a month prior to uploading it, as I was running into issues with the PC I was using to edit

I want to note how interesting I find what I interpret as - despite all of the things Chris has done which have hurt people - as a huge amount of empathy exhibited by Chris when it comes to the victims of Dejarnette. And the empathy they had for me during our video, with how kind they were. I will also say that from what I remember of our conversations 1-on-1 off camera, Chris was clearly far more interested in talking about me than about themself and trying to help me figure out issues in my life through what they believed to be their powers. Chris obviously has a very different view of the world from us all and it may help people wishing to understand them better to realize that despite the hurt a person may have caused in others, the reason behind their hurtful actions often comes from a desire to help both that person and themselves, yet the decision to do so can be warped by the only way they know how to understand things and a maladaptive level of empathy for themselves.

This is why I truly hope Chris is finding happiness in the obviously inherently unhappy reality of prison through living within their own reality. And maybe some people can find empathy for Chris if they can see the empathy Chris has themselves, no matter how maladaptive.

Thanks again Geno! Hope you had a merry Christmas!
