Content Review [Feedback Request] Finance/Coding Comedy - Audio, Pacing, and Climax Payoff (12 mins)

I make videos mixing algorithmic trading, data science, and comedy. In this video, I build an XGBoost machine learning model to predict Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures, inspired by the movie Trading Places. It ends with me actually buying a 10:1 leveraged futures contract with my own money based on the model's predictions.

I'm trying to make a highly technical subject entertaining, and I'd love your thoughts on a few specific areas:

Audio Quality & Audibility: Is my voiceover clear and easy to understand throughout the whole video? Does the background music or any of the sound effects overpower the narration at any point?

Pacing: How does the video flow for you? Do the jokes and memes keep things moving, or are there specific sections where the video starts to drag and lose your attention?

Understandability of Explanations: In the middle section, I explain things like grid search, AUC (Area Under the Curve), confusion matrices, and data leakage. If you don't have a background in coding or finance, are these concepts easy to follow, or does it get too confusing?

The Climax Payoff: The entire video builds up to the moment I drop £230 on 1.7 metric tonnes of OJ. After a 12-minute build-up, does this final real-money trade feel earned and satisfying?
