I relate so much to this. The only time I could see myself watching something like this is if the wife falls asleep a bit early on the couch one evening. Or as someone else suggested, if I could get the kids interested.

I do listen to a bunch of podcasts and audio books while I'm doing chores or driving, but that's about it these days. I have a faint hope that I will get more time for personal hobby projects (like learning more physics) as the kids get a bit older (currently 4, 7 & 13).

Does your wife have to wait for you to fall asleep before she does something she wants to do but you have little interest in? You could just watch these lectures together - instead of, say, watching the news.
Watching the news? That's an extremely low probability guess in this crowd.
So glad to hear that I am also not the only one with two kids and demand from work and so little free time. Sometimes I fall asleep at night trying to “catch-up” to all the podcasts and lectures.
