I thought I'd rather watch the video than read your long transcript, I clicked it, it's Wendover with his weird speech pattern (some syllables loud, some syllables he runs through, but some vowels he drawls on...).

Tab closed, thanks for the transcript.

Did the speaker on wendover change like 1~2 years ago? I feel like the voice used to be more, uh, geeky sounding.

He probably got some sort of speech coaching because he didn't like the way he sounded. A bad one, I would say. I looked up a video from 2017, he sounded ok, I could hear some long syllables but they weren't as long as they are now. It also sounds like he got a different mic.
