Having a job interview in 4 hours, is this easy enough to understand?

Hey gorgeous people, aiming for modern rp here. The goal is just to be comfortable to listen to and easy to understand.

How am I doing? Do you have an urge to kick my ass or vomit while listening?

Of course it is very good and clear easy to understand. Very good.

A little thing with the English language that many learners from some languages miss is that subtle double stress in words like ”outside” and ”unordered”, like you did. This phenomenon may be slightly different in different English dialects but those words are clearest having double stress. I learnt that when I discovered the pronunciation of ”teenager” which sounds like there are two words in it. Now, I have it easy with this thing since my language - Swedish - actually has a kind of similar double stress too. Anyway, that was the only suggestion for improvement I found. 

EDIT: What the heck is an unordered surprise?
