| 0:00.0 | Super chat from Tyler Evans. |
| 0:16.4 | What do you think is the biggest what if in sports? |
| 0:20.6 | Oh gosh. Biggest what if in sports? Oh gosh. |
| 0:22.2 | Biggest what if in sports. |
| 0:25.0 | I got one. |
| 0:26.6 | I got one. |
| 0:29.0 | Again, this is partially my own fandom bias. |
| 0:33.0 | What if, oh, that was really a bad pun that was not intended to be a pun. What if Len Baez doesn't die |
| 0:39.9 | in 1986 when he gets drafted by the Celtics? Like, Len Baez was a phenomenal player. And the Celtics |
