Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one flaw. Introducing first, from Lithuania, he weighs 123 kilos, the Russian nightmare, Nikita Kolov. Welcome to another episode of Q&A with Kolov, the Devil's Nightmare. With me today, a long time dear friend, all the way from Houston, Texas via Nashville, Tennessee via Albuquerque, New Mexico, is Chris Chicago. Chris, welcome to the Q&A with Kolov. Oh, it's always a pleasure to talk to my boy Nikita.

Well, it's great to have you with us today on Q&A with Kolov. And in that introduction, I mentioned, of course, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Nashville, Tennessee, Houston, Texas, and Chris Chicago. Fill our listeners in, give them a little backstory like, well, okay, what are all the cities about?

What's that all about? Yeah, born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Started my Christian radio career in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And yeah, so my name is Chris Chicago, but it's my real name.

It's not just a radio name. Moved to Nashville to work in the music industry and to work in radio there as well. Then eventually came to Houston to do more radio, and that's where I am now. And that's, of course, so Nashville, Tennessee is where you and I met. That is where we met. Yeah, we met so long ago at a rock show at 12th and Porter in Nashville. And then, of course, you know, the Lord brought us back together again through your daughter, Tawny. And I think it was just meant for us to be friends.

It was destined for us to be friends. That was probably 20-ish, 20-ish years ago, two decades ago that we had met. And of course, you know, you mentioned Christian radio. So how long have you been in Christian radio? Gosh, I've been in Christian radio since the late 90s, since I was just a teenager. I was in high school when I got into Christian radio. And I'm still in Christian radio today. I do an evening show, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday on Way FM, one of the biggest Christian radio networks in the world. And I also run and operate a Christian hip-hop radio station online called stillflowradio.com.

And yeah, I've had quite the journey in radio over the years. So anybody could go on the internet, look up the, during that time slot in the evenings and hear you live, hear Chris Chicago live? Yeah, wayfm.com. They got an app as well.

You can put it on your phone. But like I said, you know, you might be in a market. It's turned all over the country.

So it might be in your local markets. Just look up Way FM. That's pretty cool. And Christian hip-hop, what inspired you to get connected with Christian hip-hop? Man, so Christian hip-hop is really what changed my life.

I've always loved hip-hop since I was a kid. And I can't remember exactly how, I mean, my mom always had me in church. My grandparents had me in church.

And oh, you know, it was a friend. I was at a talent show, rapping at a talent show. And I was a mainstream secular rapper at this talent show. And I met a couple of Christian rappers at that talent show in the 90s. And they introduced me to Christian hip-hop. And then from there, they encouraged me to stop listening in secular music and start listening to Christian music. And so I listened to the Christian radio station, and then God took it from there. And I've been involved in Christian hip-hop and Christian radio ever since. You know, people like to think that these chance encounters that we have with people, even our encounter with not chance, I believe, you know, there are no accidents, that everything is destined from God because God has a plan. And, you know, God had me run into these guys at this talent show, just like God had me run into you at a Christian rock concert, you know, 20 years ago.

That's crazy. Now, okay, so I gotta ask, so do you still rap, Chris? No, definitely not. I mean, you'll catch, you know, my kids will catch me rapping and, you know, in the house when, you know, a beat comes on, you know, their dad is, you know, still trying to be a rapper, but no, there's no rapping left in me. All right, guys, that's in the past, in the past.

In the past, yeah. Well, pretty, oh, so you mentioned you, so tell us about your family. You mentioned your family. Tell us about your family.

Yeah, married 20 years this year, December, to my beautiful, amazing wife, Jessica. I got four kids ranging all the way from 15 to four years old. I got three boys and one girl. Three boys and one girl, wow, bless her heart. She's got a lot of protection around her, doesn't she? She really does, you know, and my daughter, Callie, my 10-year-old, she really runs the show.

You know, my wife and my daughter, like, they're the queens of the house. I hear you, I hear you. Well, and you had recently, Chris, shared a story with me of a really somewhat of a recent battle. I'll just introduce it that way.

Sure. You want to, take a couple minutes to share what you've been going through the last year or so. Scariest thing that's ever happened in my life, I don't wish on anybody, but in, you know, in 2018, I, you know, I had this sore on my arm. It just wouldn't go away, and so I finally went to the dermatologist. They weren't worried about it, but they went ahead and biopsied it, and, you know, they called me back and said, hey, you know, you've got this really rare form and deadly kind of melanoma that you need to get surgically removed immediately, and so I went to MD Anderson and went through two surgeries to remove this melanoma from my arm, but the doctors and surgeons, you know, they were very, you know, hopeful, and they said the margins were good, and it hadn't gotten too deep. It was nothing to worry about.

We got it all. Go on and live your life. So a year ago, almost exactly a year ago, I'm taking a shower, and I reach under my right arm, and my my lymph nodes are swollen the size of a softball, a grapefruit, and I'm like, whoa, what is, what's going on here? I try not to freak out too much, and, you know, I give it about a month, you know, to see if, you know, sometimes, you know, different things will cause your lymph nodes to swell up, so I give it about a month, and I'm getting ready to go on a camping trip in New Mexico, but I had to go to my doctor anyways, because, you know, the doctor, you know, when you have, I had high, I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, I had diabetes, and they make you get blood work done every few months, you know, before they'll rewrite your your prescription, so I had to go see my doctor before I went on this trip to refill my medicine before the camping trip, and at the end of the conversation, I said, hey, by the way, my lymph node over here is swollen.

Is this anything to be concerned about? My doctor, you know, felt around, he's like, goodness, this is, this is really swollen. He says, I don't know if these are swollen lymph nodes, or if these are, if this is something else. He's like, he's like, let's, let's get you in and get this, and have you get an ultrasound, just so we can see what we're dealing with before you go on the trip, so I was able to get an ultrasound the next morning, the same day that I was leaving on my trip, and as I was getting ready to walk out the door to leave to New Mexico, my doctor called me, and he said, hey, he said, he said, you can't go out of town.

I said, why? He said, he said, not only do you have one large swollen lymph nodes, but they're all swollen, and with your history of melanoma, he said, this could be, this could be cancer, and you need to get it biopsied right away, so you can't go out of town. So, right away, like, my heart just, just, I mean, my stomach, like, I was just, I was scared. I, you know, didn't want to believe that it could be cancer, so, canceled my trip. A week later, I was able to get it biopsied, and sure enough, like, it came back as, as melanoma. So, I got in with, with MD Anderson right away, and, you know, they said, at this point right now, we think you have stage three melanoma, so what we can do is, is we can go in and surgically remove all your lymph nodes on your right side, and we'll get you started on treatment right away after that.

He says, but before we can do that, you know, there is a small chance that it could be stage four, and if it's stage four, we'll then, we'll, we'll talk about that if that's the case, then, you know, there's no use to talking about that now. So, I went and I went and got a CAT scan and finally, you know, got the results, got back in with the oncologist, and the oncologist, you know, basically said it's stage four cancer. It's not only in your lymph nodes, but it's spread, it's metastasized into other parts of your body, including your lungs, and there's, there's no point there, you know, there's no point during surgery right now, and, you know, we, we want to get you on this treatment right away.

They started giving me the numbers, basically telling me that I'm dead, I'm a dead man. So, so I said, okay, you know, I'm going to do the treatment, you know, and hope for the best, but I, you know, just started doing, you know, some research and just, you know, my aunt had had stage four melanoma as well, and she passed away just months before my diagnosis. So, I'm thinking, man, my aunt just passed away from this, but the treatment that they had her on, not only did it put her cancer in remission, but it's the treatment that actually killed her. So, I was like, man, they're telling me this treatment's not, you know, it has a very small percentage of working for me, but yet this treatment could, could kill me faster than, than the cancer can. And I'm just like, this, you know, this is the death sentence.

And, you know, I went spiraling into this dark place thinking that I wasn't even going to see Christmas, you know, this is a year ago, um, from when we're talking now. And, uh, and so I said, you know, I just let, let me, let me go do some research. Let me, let me do some, some major life changes. And, um, and, and then we can talk about the treatment. The oncologist said, you can do all the life change you want, but there's nothing that you can do that's going to help you.

You need to get on this treatment right away. And I said, just give me a month, just give me a month, and then we'll get, we'll get a CAT scan again, and then we'll just see what the, what's happening. And she said that, you know, you're just, you're just giving yourself another month for this to, to grow and spread.

Uh, this is not a good idea, you know, and I said, no, this is what we're going to do. So I, I went home and, um, I started doing my research and I, I just started looking for anything that I could find that was, that, that would offer me hope and just praying and asking that God, that God would send me something. And I found some different stuff online.

So I'd already found a plan that I was going to do and supplements that I was going to take. And then my sister-in-law, because my name is Chris, just fell upon this guy named Chris Wark, who wrote a book called Chris Beat Cancer. And she thought it was funny because his name was Chris and my name was Chris. So she sent me the link, just more as an encouragement and as a joke, you know, hey, Chris Beat Cancer, you can beat cancer too.

But, uh, that book changed my life. Chris Wark is a, uh, gosh, I think 20 year cancer survivor at this point. Um, he, he, uh, healed from his colon cancer naturally and holistically. And he has, and he's a believer. He loves the Lord.

He loves Christ. And I read his book and I got on his plan and, uh, which includes, you know, whole, whole food, plant-based eating, uh, lots of juicing and, um, you know, and different supplements and stuff. And so I really went, I really went hardcore into that. And then I was talking to, um, one of my, uh, an artist, one of my best friends, his name is Ty Brazel. And, uh, he's an artist that I manage, but he's also one of my dearest friends. And, and he said, you know, I was telling my mom what you were doing. And she says, she knows Chris Wark. She, she, she, uh, she works out with him at the same gym.

So, so God, we talked about, you know, you know, God, uh, making these appointments in your life. Like, sure enough, she goes to Chris and this is a world renowned cancer speaker. He's at all the big conferences. He has one of the biggest cancer cancer podcasts on, on, uh, online. Uh, he's just, I mean, he's a celebrity in the holistic cancer healing world.

Right. And sure enough, she gets him on the phone with me and he was like, whatever you need. He was like, and he, he, he coached me at the beginning and was available for any questions and any texts or anytime I had a, a, a, a question. And so I've been on that journey now for, uh, I really started hardcore on this journey around the end of October last year.

And I've not been back to the doctor since. You're listening to the truth network and truthnetwork.com Nikita Koloff here and I am excited. Did you hear the huge announcement, the big announcement?

You're listening to the truth network and truthnetwork.com. And since I've gone down this road of really following Chris Wark's plan, uh, his book is Chris beat cancer or online crispy cancer.com. Uh, not only have I lost a hundred pounds, but I've healed from type two diabetes. I've healed from high cholesterol. I've healed from, from high blood pressure. I'm on no pharmaceuticals. I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life. My blood work is perfect. Come on.

And just recently in the last couple of weeks. So I do this. I do. I love the fact that the tumor is in a place under my right arm where I can really monitor it. I can feel it.

Right. And so I massage it with essential oils every night with, with a mixture of essential oils and castor oil. And so I can really feel and get in and, and, and feel what it's doing.

And Nikita just in the last couple of weeks, this sucker is going away. Come on, come on. And like I said, I'm, I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life. I feel amazing. I, uh, I, I've not been back to the doctor since. And I know I've, I've learned from my diagnosis to now that cancer is not something that you can, you have to be scared of, right.

That nobody in a white coat has the power to tell you if you're going to live or die. And you can heal and you can defeat cancer holistically and naturally. And, and there's thousands, tens of thousands of people all around the world that have done it.

And I'm currently doing it right now. And so I'm grateful for the journey. I'm happy for the journey because I've already been able to help so many people who are sick and, and dealing with some kind of disease.

Heal, heal, heal their bodies or get on a road of healing. And also God, God has designed our bodies to heal. And if God wants me free of cancer tomorrow, you know, God can do it.

God is big. And so I trust God. I give everything to the Lord, give everything to my Savior, Jesus. And I'm trusting this process and I feel amazing. And I know the Lord is going to use me on this second part of my life.

Like the God gives me in the first part of my life to reach people through Christian hip hop and through Christian music. And on this second leg of my life, I'm going to help people who are dealing with disease and cancer and, and show them that it's not something that they could, they have to be scared of and that they can heal from. So I've learned so much. It's been an incredible journey and I'm so grateful for it. Well, you, I'm sure your story just now encouraged somebody out there listening and, and gave them some hope. And I appreciate you sharing that part of your, your story, Chris.

It's, it's amazing. I want to encourage all of you out there listening to, you know, keep Chris Chicago and his family in your prayers. And as you continue to testify and share, and, you know, I'll just say, we're going to, I'm going to, it's a tough it's a tough transition into getting to your questions. Well, let me just say this before we do, let me just say this and, and because I want to, you know, you really reminded me kind of part of what my mission is.

And, and of course a wrestler by the name of Lex Luger, you might, you might know that name, Chris, but as well as many of our listeners, you know, that that's part of our mission is with our camps. We do these camps called man camp, where we talk about this is certainly the spiritual journey being healthy mentally, emotionally, but also being healthy physically. And your testimony just now really encourages me to that Lex and I are on the right path of really challenging people to take their health seriously.

And, and, you know, perhaps, you know, bypassing or not having to, you know, essentially go through some, some more serious things. So anyway, all right, well, let's, let's do that. Let's, let's transition, throw, throw a question out there at me, and we'll see what you got, Chris. Well, I'm gonna say one of these days, I really want to, to meet Lex Luger.

I met him briefly one time, but I would love to meet him through you and actually have a conversation with him at some point, maybe even be a part of man camping, and, and help people on this spiritual and healthy journey in their lives. So let me ask you this. So a lot of people listen to you, they look up to you. You're a role model to a lot of people, especially spiritually. First question I have for you, since we're on the topic of health, what does Nikita Kolos do to make sure that you're staying healthy? What are some of some of the things that you incorporate in your life to make sure that you're you're living a healthy lifestyle? Yeah, that's great.

I actually just had this conversation at lunch with, with my man, Robbie Dilmore, the Christian car guy sitting here, staring at me across, across the desk here. And so a number of things. One, I'm 52 years now into working out, actually on a regular basis, like usually, usually four, if not five days a week. And, you know, my, my workouts have been modified over the years.

You know, I'm not trying to impress anybody and, you know, and turn heads when I walk into a room at this point. Uh, I'm just trying to, to, you know, keep toned and, and, you know, so I do higher reps and lighter weights and upper body a couple of days a week, lower body a couple of days a week, cardio, cause the heart's the most important muscle in the body, you know, so cardio five days a week, usually a minimum of 20 minutes. And so, so the workout's very important to me. And then, and then the eating, you know, which I tell people eating and exercising is an 80, 20 rule, 80% of what goes past your lips and 20% exercise in the equation of being and having what I call a healthy life style, having a healthy, having the mindset that I'm going to, I'm going to live healthy and trying to do all the right things with no guarantees.

You know, when the Bible says, there's no promise of tomorrow and there is no guarantee while at the same time, you know, God gave us a brain and we should use that to, to, to the best of our ability to do things we know that's going to benefit the body. I mean, let's be, let's be real clear, you know, putting drugs in your body or tobacco and your nicotine in your body or alcohol in your body might not necessarily be the best proponent for good health. Okay. That might be it does not necessarily promote good health.

Okay. That said, and so those combinations, and then the last part of the equation for me personally is unfortunately from the age of 12, I understood that supplementation was critical. Filling in the cracks, getting all the right, the way God made our body from the dust of the earth, that what's in the earth, minerals. What do our bodies need?

Minerals. What do our bodies need? Vitamins, nutrition, nutrients. And so for the last 15 years, Lex and I have been taking a liquid supplement that's been clinically studied and tested for different times and proven to work. And so I fill in all the cracks between the eating right, exercising regularly and taking my liquid supplementation. And I attribute that to what I consider to be a pretty healthy guy to be in my, you know, in my, my, my sixties. And so there's the answer to your question.

Amazing. What are your thoughts on or what are your thoughts and also knowledge when it comes to seed oil? When it comes to, say it again?

Seed oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, grape seed oil, grape seed oil, vegetable oil. And, and, you know, a lot of, sure. Yep. A lot of different perspectives out there. You know, some of the oils are better than others. You know, I haven't, you know, I'm not, I'm not a, a, a, a student of all the oils, but certainly some, I would just tell people again, questions like that.

I say, you know, people have need to do like you did need to do their own research, right. And find out, you know, what, what what they believe to be what's best for their body. It's like an exercise workout. You know, this, I, I'm not going to sit down and give the same workout to every single person. Cause you know, what might work for you may not work for me. And so for me, it's almost in a sense, kind of been an experiment for 52 years when it comes to lifting weights and, and eating right and finding the things that, that satisfies my palette while at the same time, you know, acquiring certain tastes for foods that, that I know are going to be better for me. And the same thing with, with those, some of the different oils you just mentioned, some are better, you know, especially when it comes to cooking oils and those sorts of things, some are better than others.

And you just need to research that and find out, uh, you know, all, all the pros and cons for all the different ones you mentioned. Love it. Yeah.

Yeah. Definitely do your research when it comes to seed oils. And there's a lot of great information out there. And I think a lot of people are, you know, even when, when people think they're eating healthy and they think they're making good decisions with, with what they put in their mouth, like you said, uh, seed oils are, uh, are very damaging and toxic and they're hidden in absolutely everything.

So essential that you do your research when it comes to seed oil. Um, so, um, I'm a radio guy, I'm a music guy. Of course I love music. If I was to get into the car right now and Nikita Kolof and we were going to go on a little road trip, give me five essential songs that you would play me on a Chris Chicago and Nikita Kolof road trip. What are we listening to? Oh man, specific songs.

Oh God. You're reaching, you're reaching down right now for your, uh, for your, your, I don't know if you're a Spotify guy, if you're a CD guy, you're an Apple music guy. What are we listening to? What is the first thing you're putting in? Well, uh, I'm going to pull up, uh, Colby Kolof Pandora.

Uh, that would be for the Colby Kolof. For those who don't know, that would be my younger daughter, youngest daughter who has her own Pandora, her own iTunes songs and her own Pandora channel. And, uh, and there's a variety of songs, all kind of in the same genre, if you will, uh, of her style of music.

And, and I, I do that from time to time. Uh, she probably, she'd be embarrassed if she was sitting here next to me right now, knowing I did that, but, um, she has a, I'm a biased dad. She has a beautiful voice now. She loves song.

Yeah. She loves song, right? She just signed a brand new three-year contract with the, for songwriting, uh, with one of the groups there in Nashville. Um, and yeah, she just, she loves that more than anything.

I mean, she produced it, she'll write her own songs and, and produce all, you know, a lot of her own songs and all that. Um, but outside of my daughter, Colby, um, I'm just right now in a season, Chris, where, where I just like to soak in, in, in different types of worship. I'm going to go back to Nashville, Tennessee again. Uh, and there's a group there called Legacy Nashville and I'll pull up YouTube. I listened to it on the way to the radio station today for an hour, just to kind of prepare my heart and prepare my mind for these interviews today that I've done.

And, uh, and just, and just let my mind, let my heart, my mind be, be like cleansed with, with some amazing anointed worship. And so, you know, Kim Walker Smith would be another one who, uh, who I favor. Uh, um, so just, there's a variety of different artists. Um, you know, Brandon Lake, uh, is another one that comes to mind, uh, some of his songs and, and, um, uh, Phil Wickham.

I mean, there's a few out there that, that are some of my favorites to listen to. Love it. Oh yeah. We're going to go, we're going to go completely left field now.

You're ready Nikita? All right. Let's go shifting gears here. Here we go. We're shifting, we're shifting gears big time here.

Okay. There's been a lot of stuff in the news recently. A lot of whistleblowers. We've, we've heard about the, the aliens in the backyard in Vegas, the UFOs caught on camera. What does Nikita Kolos believe when it comes to aliens? Are aliens real? Are we about to see the, the, the whole world of UFOs? The, uh, I don't know what the, are they going to be exposed? Is the government about to tell us that they're real, that they have aliens?

What do you think all this is? What do you think aliens are? Do you believe in aliens, Nikita? Uh, I, I, I do in this sense that the Bible says that once you give your life to Jesus, heaven is now our home and we are just foreigners, sojourners, aliens passing through this life.

And so to someone who's not a believer, the way we conduct ourselves as a Christ follower, loving Jesus, there's many out there who look as it go, you guys are just weird. You're not even of this planet. You're just, you're, you're, you're foreign.

You're alien to anything I know or understand. Right. Okay.

Cause their minds are still darkened and not yet have, hadn't been enlightened to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Okay. Um, now on that note, I'll, I'll finish by saying this on that note. And that is this, um, I believe a lot of things that happen in our world or what I'm going to call foreshadowing, foreshadowing, go read the book of revelation and study the book of revelation, study the book of Daniel.

You can know the old Testament prophets and how all the revelations tie together. And, and the fact that Jesus himself said, I, I am coming back a second time. I'm coming back a second time.

And, and I think personally, you asked me for my, my observation. I think this is a foreshadowing or a setting up so that when, as the Bible clearly talks about a rapture, go read second, go read Thessalonians, go read the fourth chapter, first chapter, second chapter, go Jesus himself, go read Matthew chapter 24. One will be in the field taken. One will be laughed.

One will be at the grinding mill. One will be laughed. Uh, so there's clearly going to be a rapture. That's what's next on the timeline, as far as I'm concerned. And when that happens, Chris, I believe all those lost out there in the world, including the media are going to say, see, I told you the aliens and UFOs were real.

All these UFO aliens took all of our loved ones away from us and we'll never see them again. That's up. That's what I believe. You know, you know what?

I think, I, I think that me and you are a pretty, pretty, uh, pretty on pretty close to what we believe. Yeah. Yeah. I just say, again, I just think all this, even, even the last three years, Chris, let me just say this.

And we're, we're just about out of time, but even the last three years, I believe some of the things, you know, that some of the, in a sense, forced things, uh, is, is, is, uh, is, uh, if you're paying attention, if you're paying attention and you really understand the book of Revelation is again, a foreshadowing of what is to come, what is to come when that Antichrist steps up to the plate and, and woos the world and then, and then takes control of everything else. So you just got to pay attention. So great answer. Well, Chris, Chicago, man, you are, you have, you are quite the testimony, uh, Christian music, hip hop, and, and, uh, one last time before we go, where, where can people tell people one more time where they can tune in for Chris Chicago?
