Tendency to gabble

Really useful stuff, but these two are lacking a crucial feature that most demonstrators and professional speakers are aware of: intelligibility.
I have noticed from this and previous demos that they talk just that bit too quickly and often tend to swallow the ends of their words - sometimes not fully pronouncing all the syllables - just as they come to a crucial bit of information.
Please give this video a test run in front of some people who are unfamiliar with the topic and check whether they have heard every word.
Entertaining? Yes. Informative? Yes. Could do with being delivered a little bit more slowly? Yes. It is as if they are talking to each other instead of to us, their audience.
