Hey Broncnuts... that's quite the story! Too bad I couldn't understand quite a bit of it.
I have trouble hearing what you are saying because the background music is interfering with what you are saying.
Is there any chance that you could either drop the music altogether while you speak, or at least lower the volume of the background music to about a quarter of the volume of your voice?
I once made a video where the music was very quiet in the background and I got quite a few complaints about how people couldn't hear the narrative, even though I had no problem with understanding everything being said, so now I make sure any background music is either extremely quiet, to the point where it is barely audible when the narrative is there and one mainly hears it when the speaker is silent, or to stop background music entirely while the narrative is ongoing.

Your intro is pretty cool; did you make it yourself? If so, what software did you use to make it?
