I think an RTB video on how no object can come from nothing would be an excellent follow on and would further buttress this compelling argument.
Not even the Hypothetical Multiverse can come into creation by itself. In 2003, a team including Vilenkin and Guth considered what eternal inflation would mean for the Hubble constant, which describes mathematically the expansion of the universe. They found that the equations didn’t work (Physical Review Letters, DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.90.151301). “You can’t construct a space-time with this property,” says Vilenkin. It turns out that the constant has a lower limit that prevents inflation in both time directions. “It can’t possibly be eternal in the past,” says Vilenkin. “There must be some kind of boundary.”
Lawrence Krause also admitted that his "nothing" actually refers to virtual particles, and since they have measurable properties they they too are something rather than nothing.
Keep up the good work RTB!
