Summary
PewDiePie shares big news early in the video: they bought land in Japan and plan to build a house with Japan’s fast-building methods. Felix and Marzia walk viewers through the idea of a first layout featuring a theater room, sunken living room, and an open-space design, noting changes are still happening. The vlog follows family moments—from a playful day with Ben at an aquarium and strawberry picking to filming in Tokyo and Savannah—to show the couple juggling real estate dreams with parenting. They also highlight a few exciting stops, like revisiting Sun and Shine City and posing for a few playful challenges with Ben. Sponsorships appear naturally in the flow: SY’s eSIM solution for international travel makes trips smoother, and NordVPN is pitched as a personal data/privacy safeguard with a friendly, personable touch. The video shifts between life moments and practical planning, including a tease that construction could begin around Halloween, underscoring how fast they want the project to move. Overall, the vlog blends home-building ambitions with travel, family, and sponsor integrations in a way that mirrors PewDiePie’s usual upbeat, family-friendly energy. The ending circles back to a sense of belonging in Japan, contrasted with the American road-trip memories that preceded it. Felix notes the return home feeling, wrapping the episode with a warm, reflective vibe about data privacy and online safety as well.

[Music] Three. Run away. Run away. Four. Three. Okay, I run away. I go hide. I go hide. I go [Laughter] hide. Yay. Yay. [Applause] Yo, uh, big announcement. We bought a land. Feel like it's a lot more to talk about, but basically we're, uh, going to a place that does construction and they're going to show kind of what they can do cuz we're actually going to build a house. In Japan, for those who don't know, everyone builds a house and they have like really fast method of building. So yeah, we'll share that process with you guys.
300 400 Oh, you hear Yeah. Yeah. It's making me anxious. I don't know. I think I got 700. Damn, that's actually pretty stupid. Double strength. Yeah. Hold on. Yeah, it's still going. Oh. Oh, it barely cracked, too. Wow. Oh, What a weird test. Okay. Am I supposed to touch here? Yeah, you can touch there and see if it's anymore. Oh, there it goes. Okay. Oh, so the other side is that hot? Yeah. Jeez. Yeah. 400°. Well insulated. Yep. You don't even feel it. You could build these houses in hell. It'll be fine. I got you.
I got you. Now he's spinning. What are you doing, Ben? Hey, Ben, are we going on a walk? A walk? Darren, can I have a flower? Can I have a flower? Thank you. This video is sponsored by SY. I am a huge fan of SY cuz it genuinely makes traveling for us so much easier. This time when we were on our way to Savannah, Marty asked me about it and we literally set it up on the flight cuz it had internet. For those you don't know, SY is an eim app, which means electronic SIM. So if you're traveling almost anywhere in the world, over 60 countries, you get access to internet through this app.
M said just open the app, pick the country, picked how much data she needed, and of course use code PewDiePie, which gave her a 15% discount, and bada bing bada boom, instant internet as soon as you land, which is what I want. The first thing I want when I land is internet. I genuinely hate I hate standing in line when I land renting a Wi-Fi box. How is that a good solution? You just have to carry another thing when you're traveling that also have to worry about being charged. Or if you opt to just buy a physical SIM while you're there, you still have to go and actually find where to buy it.
Set it all up while you're there and you have to worry about losing your original SIM. At least I do. It's kind of important. I don't like removing it. SY just solves all the problems. It's an amazing service and I highly recommend it. You can use the QR code to download it or use the code PewDiePie at checkout for 15% discount. If you're planning a trip anywhere, you can download it right away. Set it up all now and don't even have to think about it. You need internet when you travel. So, I just love that it removes that stressful element to me.
So, thank you S for being an amazing sponsor and you guys are welcome. It's International Women's Day today and in Italy you give mimosa. So I've been tracking down where to find them.

I got to worry about protecting my privacy. And I got to worry about protecting this guy. But thanks to NordVPN, that's easy. You can let go of the microphone. What are you doing? Come to think of it, I could have used NordVPN when I was growing up. The internet is full of stuff that you don't want to stumble into, let alone your kids. But thanks to NordVPN's threat protection, it blocks ads, trackers, and malicious websites. Obviously, this is very far ahead. Okay, but it's a piece of mind for me and myself. What did I just say?
Recently, I switched to Linux and NordVPN works just as good there as any other operating system, even your phone. It connects fast and works amazing without you having to worry about it. Hey, hey, that way I can browse the internet safely and securely and privately as it should be. NVPN is seriously so good. I've been using them for years and years and years as you guys know.
