- Hey I'm Maddox from Hiho Kids.
You ready for a draw my story?
Maddox's life.
Boom.
Let's do this thing.
My full name is Maddox Jiang Lai Weddle.
Now Jiang Lai means strong and quick in Chinese.
Today I'm gonna be telling my life story
with the help of my friend Kogi.
He is the best artist I know.
Many years ago I was born in Swedish Hospital.
(baby crying)
No not in Sweden, but in a Swedish Hospital is Seattle.
Tricky isn't it?
I was born on June 14, two thousand nine.
Same year Michael Jackson died.
- [Michael Jackson] Ow.
- [Maddox] Master piece.
- [Michael Jackson] Yeah. - I was two weeks
late, and it's probably because I was so comfortable
I didn't even want to get out of there.
- [Maddox] Yeah that's true.
Floating around in space.
Aaaaaaah.
And the moment that I came out... wa wa.
I'm the only kid in my family, that's the way I like it.
Poppers, Mommers, I love you.
My mom, Jet, is from China.
And my dad, James,
is
well from Seattle.
Not that original.
When I was born my dad always spoke to me in English.
And my mom would only talk to me in Chinese.
Qǐ lai, qǐ lai, qǐ lai.
- [Maddox] Get up.
(horn blaring)
And my grandma would only talk to me in Spanish.
Te amo Grandma.
And that's why I'm able to speak three languages.
I love to hang out at the Hiho studio.
We do the funnest videos.
My favorite I've ever done was Maddox versus
Maria doggie doo.
Ah, I got a point, I got a green slimy poo, I got a point.
In school I started a club called Panda Club.
It's an English club where I teach my friends Chinese.
Wanna learn something?
Shay-shay means thank you.
Now there are no parents in the club, but I wish there were.
I really love to read.
And I started a book club on my own YouTube channel.
Currently I'm reading Civil War books because
I'm interested in American History.
Fire in the hole.
Reading is fun.
I know I'm sounding like a geek right now,
but it's true.
- Maybe a few thousand.
Yeah, a few thousand.
I'm on a swim team and I love to rock climb after school.
I love to travel.
Lucky for me, my mom is a flight attendant
so I get to travel a lot.
I've been to China 10 times.
I've been to Mexico, Coasta Rica, Argentina,
England, Ireland.
The favorite place I traveled to is London.
Hello old chap, hope you don't mind if I drink your tea.
(laughing)
The city's beautiful and the food is so good.
Seriously.
It's good.
I even has escargot there.
You hear that right, escargot, like snails.
Man is it delicious.
First I regretted it, but then....
Eh,
not so bad at all.
When my mom flies, me and my dad are buddies.
We have to keep each other company.
Play football, go fishing.
Ah
gat,
get over here you bass.
Get, oh yeah got it.
And we eat a lot of B.S. together.
(lips smacking)
B.S. stands fro bad stuff, like fast food,
McDonalds, Burger King,
all of the junk food you could imagine.
(slurping)
Sugar rush.
My mom hates it, but hey, that's why we do it
when she's not home.
My mom is the most awesome mom of all time.
And do you know, my mom also cuts and styles in my hair?
(laughing)
Thanks mom.
When I grow up, I wanna be an astronomer, a space scientist,
or maybe an entomologist, an insect scientist.
Or maybe I could do both, and discover bugs in space.
Did you know there actually bugs found in mars?
- Yeah martians.
Thank you for watching my life story.
Hope you learned something.
You want more of my people?
Check out my Hiho videos and my family vlog channel.
See ya later.
