A Chat With Christine Chandler

Filmed Saturday, 5/26/2018

We accidentally lost the first bit of this footage, so that is why there is no intro here.

The only important thing that was lost was Christine indulging in some "JULAY" memes, believe it or not.

That being said, enjoy the video!

(0:11-0:22) Chris discusses the weather

Chris: Ahh...I-I tend to perspire easily.

[Chris fans his face and takes off his glasses]

Copitz: Yeah...It is pretty hot today. Maybe eighty degrees?

Chris: Yeah. It's-[wipes face] mid-eighties right now.

Copitz: Mid-eighties?

Carson: This is really good.

Lee: It's nice out.

Copitz: It is nice out, yeah.

[jump cut]

(0:23-1:17) Chris discusses the Kiwi Farms and BraveryJerk

Copitz: Y- you probably know about the, the Kiwi Farms, right?

Chris: Oh, yes.

Copitz: Yeah, yeah.

[jump cut]

Copitz: 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]

Copitz: 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 [Chris: Mmm.] th- most of the people on the forums were telling me it wasn't a good idea either.

Chris: Eeh.

Copitz: Um, but, you know-

Chris (interrupting): I forgive you this time.

Copitz: Haha, thank you. [jump cut] A lot of them were-were afraid that I was like a ween and I was gonna be like, you remember BraveryJerk?

[jump cut]

Chris: Ah, not sure.

Copitz: He was the, uh, the African-American fellow who interviewed you at the, uh, the, uh-

Chris (interrupting): Oh... oh, yeah, yeah. I did n- I did not know his offline name.

Copitz: Okay- no, that is his online name, is BraveryJerk.

Chris: 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!!

Copitz: How did you feel about the videos that he made?

[jump cut]

Chris: Uh, it is what it is, I just m'let it go, I'm cool.

Copitz: Yeah, yeah.

(1:19-2:28) Chris discusses Toys "R" Us and restaurants

[jump cut, Chris is now leaning forwards, reaching for a cup of tea]

Chris: Which tea is this again?

Carson: It's called Iron [unintelligible]. It kinda tastes like, sweet, even without sugar.

[Chris laughs]

[jump cut, the tea is now being poured into Chris' cup]

Chris: That's good.

Carson: Oop, didn't get your hand, did I?

Chris: Nah, you're cool. [jump cut] Ha, could've been hotter.

[Copitz laughs]

Chris: Yeah, I like spicy things.

Copitz: Yeah, I like spicy th-

Carson: Hey, what's your favorite food, by the way?

Chris: Mmm. I like, uh, Mac and Cheese for longer time.

[jump cut]

Copitz: When you go- go out to eat at uh, at, at near Ruckersville, where do you normally go, do you come down to Charlottesville, or...

Chris: Uh, yeah, kinda here 'n 'ere, I mean, [jump cut] I just feel like it's cheap to just name McDonald's all the time, or KFC, or Taco Bell, [Copitz: Yeah, yeah] but I tell you what-[Copitz: Those are cheap, though] if I like it good, I might get something good from the [unintelligible] Buffet.

Copitz: Oh, yeah, uh- that's down near where Toys "R" Us is, right?

Chris: Yeah. [sigh] Stop the closing of the Toys "R" Us!

[Copitz and friends mock-scream in dismay]

Copitz: No! Not the Toys "R" Us!

[jump cut]

Copitz: You probably get a lot of your, your MLP stuff from [jump cut] Toys "R" Us, don't you?

Chris: Yeah, but's it's like, a lot of it's available online now, everyone's buying online [Copitz: [sucks teeth] Yeah.] Maybe KB will make a return, just like I heard on, uh, kind of a, news thing I s- read about, few weeks ago.

[jump cut]

Copitz: Yeah, it might- you know, that would actually be a good idea because it could pick up the business that Toys "R" Us, um, [Chris: Lost.] would have lost, yeah.

[jump cut]

(2:28-3:22) Copitz tells stories about Monster Energy and his friend Eric

Chris(to one of the friends): It was pretty good, by the way.

Carson: I know, I like it a lot.

[jump cut]

Copitz: I remember, I was here one time, and, and I, and I had a, I had a big, um, can of Monster Energy, and I tried combining it with the tea, but it just tasted like gross, warm Monster.

[They all laugh]

Chris: They make a tea for Monster, Monster Tea.

Carson: Oh, [unintelligible], I think it's called.

[jump cut]

Copitz: So you remember Eric [Shows a picture of Eric on the screen], my friend that, uh, that came to [Chris: Uh, yes.] your house, right? [Chris: Yes.] He-

[jump cut]

[The camera lurches awkwardly towards one of Copitz's friends]

Copitz: When he was taking the behind the wheel driving lessons, he went up to- to the Wal-Mart [phone buzzes] on 29 North. [Camera tilts around] Not the one in Ruckersville, but the one- [Chris: Alright.] the one near Charlottesville.

[jump cut]

[Copitz drinks some tea]

Copitz: Ooh, that is good. I like that.

[jump cut]

Carson: Eric was actually the one who showed me the [unintelligible]

Copitz: Oh, really. Shoutouts to Eric. [closeup of Eric's face]

[jump cut]

Copitz: So when he was driving- [jump cut] through the parking lot with his driver's instruction teacher and a couple of other students- [jump cut] he actually saw you. Uh, a while ago, he saw you, and he recognized you. So that- so that was, uh, exciting for me, and we were all jealous. [Chris and Copitz laugh] They got to see you.

[jump cut]

(3:23-3:43) Chris discusses people coming to his house

Copitz: What were you thinking when we came to your house? How often does that happen?

Chris: Uhh... [jump cut] Feel like I wanna say on average... maybe.. uh... once every few months?

[jump cut]

Copitz: Is it normally fans, or normally trolls?

Chris: Um... I'm not quite certain.

Copitz: Not- not sure? Maybe just people trying to- people that live in the area and just wanna meet an- an icon?

Chris: Yeah, kinda. [laughs]

[jump cut]

(3:44-5:54) Chris discusses Animal Crossing, Let's Play, and the GenoSamuel2 documentary

Chris: Hey, try the Hi-C! It's got mint in it, and it's really good.

Friend 3: [unintelligible]

Friend 4: There are many, huh?

Copitz: Yeah, there are a lot of 'em.

Chris: I like mint.

[jump cut]

Copitz: Um-

Chris: Minty Squirrel from Animal Crossing.

Copitz: Minty Squ- Yeah, you know, you did a lot of Animal Crossing stuff back in the day, didn't you?

Chris: Yeah.

Copitz: You made that Animal Crossing video for your parents? I thought that was really nice.

Chris: Yeah.

Copitz: Yeah.

Chris: And then I just did touring of what I had on my GameCube.

Copitz: Ah, right. Yeah. I- you kn- I remember people saying- I thought this was really cool- They said that you pioneered the Let's Play experience.

Chris: I did?

Copitz: Yeah, 'cause you did it- you, you like, you recorded yourself, um, you're y'know, commentating over gameplay before basically anybody else did on the Internet.

[Copitz plays 5:02-5:10 from Chris' Animal Crossing Documentary]

2003 Chris: -moving on with the tour of my house. As you can see I've got- I'm collecting the NES games. I've got most of them down here, and I've got a couple upstairs.

[Video clip ends]

Copitz: So some people consider you the pioneer Let's Play.

Chris: Huh.

Copitz: That's pretty cool, isn't it?

Lee: That is pretty cool.

Chris: Okay, well that's news to me.

[Copitz and friends laugh]

Copitz: Yeah, I saw that ag- on the, um, do you know, the uh GenoSamuel2 documentary?

Chris: Mmm.

Copitz: Um, he's making this crazy long, comprehensive documentary, and I'd say it's very objective, he's not making fun of you in any way.

Chris: Mm.

[jump cut]

[Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History - Part 10 is shown on the screen]

Copitz: He's on Part 10, and they're each 40 minutes, and he's only on like 2008, [Picture disappears from the screen] so it's like, it's like he's getting everything in there.

Chris: Ah, as much as he can, right?

Copitz: Yeah, yeah. H- how do you feel about it when people make, like, documentaries and stuff about you but they're not making fun of you?

Chris: Um, I feel abou- I kinda feel like, uh...

Copitz: You wish your past wasn't documented as much?

Chris: Uh, no, I don't wanna say that.

Copitz: Mm-hm.

Chris: Um, I just kinda wish I wasn't as- more famous than infamous [Copitz: Yeah, yeah, that's true.] for more of my good qua- [Ego|more of my good traits, but I think they're all well noted among which.] I have faith in the goodness of people. And that's , uh, that's discounting and discrediting the obvious bad ones.

Copitz: Yeah, yeah.

[jump cut]

Copitz: Y- you've met some good people out there. I mean, we're here, right? You know. [Chris: Yeah.] Yeah, we're- we're trying [camera suddenly zooms in on Chris's torso] to be friendly. [all laugh]

[jump cut]

Lee: [unintelligible] cameraman?

[He's likely saying something along the lines of "Can I be the cameraman" because of Copitz's response and his later disappearance.]

Copitz: Yeah, you think you could help us- help me out here? Thanks, Lee.

(5:55-6:01) Interlude

[The same techno music plays, text is shown on the screen]

Starting here, there is a lot of background noise that I did not realize was being picked up.

I apologize for this error.  That being said, please carry on and enjoy the rest.

(6:02-6:45) Chris discusses his favorite games

[The camera is now in a different position, revealing more of the room. Lee is gone from the frame, and is now the cameraman.]

Copitz: All right, we're good, we've got Lee as our cameraman now, so that's good.

[Chris laughs]

[jump cut, camera is zoomed in more]

Copitz: Um, so Chrischine[sic] was just saying off-camera that her favorite, uh, Sonic game was Sonic CD.

Chris: Yeah.

Copitz: Um, would that make that your favorite game of all time?

Chris: Uh...

Copitz: Or you like Animal Crossing or LittleBiGPlanet more?

Chris: I like, I like all the games I've played-

[Copitz starts getting up from his seat and reaches for the camera. As he touches it, there is a jump cut.]

[Copitz withdraws his hand from the camera]

Chris: -definitely earned, like up to a hundred percent of the trophies.

[someone laughs]

[jump cut]

Chris: I dunno about favorite game of all time, though. Mmm...[wipes face]...Although, big props to everything LittleBiGPlanet, especially everything on the PS3, 'cause I'm able to make my Sonichu costumes and play the game [Friend laughs] as Sonichu in a way.

Copitz: [Looks at camera] You- you still uh, kind of a big gamer? You play games a lot?

Chris: Yeah. Here and there, just when I- I do as I feel.

[jump cut]

The picture in question.

(6:46-6:56) Copitz shows Chris a picture

Copitz: I got this picture right here where somebody swapped our mouths and made Eric's head really big.

[The picture shows up on the screen]

[Chris and Copitz laugh]

Copitz: I'll put that up on screen.

Lee: Oh yeah, I saw those, too.

Copitz: You think that's funny?

Chris: Silly, yeah.

[jump cut]

(6:57-7:16) Chris talks about his typical day

Copitz: What is a typical, uh, 'CWC' day like?

Chris: Um... Well,I'm gettin' into something a bit more exercising. Going to Anytime Fitness, I am a member there.

Copitz: The one, uh, in Ruckersville?

Chris: Ehhhm... Not so much anymore, had to relocate, I'm not sayin' where.

[jump cut]

Chris: The one I'm going to, does- it's much farther... Yeah.

[jump cut]

(7:17-8:09) Chris talks about his jobs at Wendy's and Cutco Cutlery

Copitz: So you worked at the Wendy's in Ruckersville for a while, didn't you?

Chris:[nervously] Yeah.

Copitz: Wh- what was your experience like there?

Chris: Ehhh... Kinda hit-or-miss, [Copitz: Oof.] and I was still young... um... I felt like it [jump cut] just didn't quite suit me as well anyhow.

Copitz: Mm-hm.

[jump cut]

Copitz: Did you work anywhere else?

Chris: Uh... uh... No, not these days. Uh, but I did work one summer as a... representative of... Cutco Cutlery? But I- I treated it only as a summer job, so...

Copitz: Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[jump cut]

Copitz: Are you 36 now?

Chris: Uhf... Yes.

Copitz: 36.

[jump cut]

Copitz: We can still make the next [unintelligible].

Carson: Yeah.

Chris: It's a generation gap that can be a brrrrrridge. Like in a blidge[sic] dictionary, I'm making a bridge.

[Unsure of what Chris is actually doing here. I think he's trying to roll his 'R's, but if he is, he's doing it so badly that I can't tell.]

Copitz: Bridge.

[Chris moves his hand in a horizontal motion, supposedly imitating a bridge]

[Copitz and Chris fist bump, creating an explosion.]

[Copitz and Chris laugh]

Chris: There's a good bridge.

[jump cut]

(8:10-?) Chris talks about his name change and his favorite movie

Copitz: What was it, the um, the uh, the bear, at the, at the [unintelligible] Mall that gave you that name?

[Text is shown on the screen, accompanied by a doorbell-like sound effect.]

*Referring to the name "Christian" here.*

Chris: Yep. Leonard... Bearstein.

Copitz: Leonard Bearstein.

[jump cut]

Carson: Do you have a favorite movie?

Copitz: Favorite movie.

Chris: Mary Poppins.

Copitz: Mary Poppins.

Chris:[odd voice] Supercalifragilisticexp-

[Copitz joins in]

Both Chris and Copitz: -ialidocious.

[jump cut]

Copitz: You ever go to the theater?

[jump cut]

Chris: Ehh, my friends, uh, took me there, t' see Pokémon: I Choose You

[The video cuts to a still from the movie, text laid on top:]

POKEMON[sic]: I CHOOSE YOU SPOILER ALERT

SKIP TO 9:12 TO AVOID

Chris: Pikachu... talked to Ash, literally.

Copitz:[muffled by the tea he's drinking] Mmm?

Chris: An' it's like, "Pikachu!"- [Copitz: The whole movie?]- No, just one part - but it's like [Chris does an admittedly good impression of Ash from the Pokémon anime] "Pikachu! Why don't you get in your Pokéball?" an' he's like, [very high-pitched voice]"It's because..." [Copitz:[incredulously, looking at the camera] What?] "...It's because, I want to be with you."

Copitz: That happened in the movie?

Chris: [still using the high-pitched voice] Yeah.

[Copitz plays a camera-recorded clip from the movie]

Ash: Pikachu... Why won't you get in your Pokéball?

Pikachu: It's because...

[The crowd starts murmuring confusedly, a few people saying variations on "What?" or "No..."]

Pikachu: ...It's because I always want... to be with you.

Chris: The whole movie was quite good, we enjoyed it.
