Fast talkers

I was just trying to watch This Week with George Stephanopoulos, and I was just overwhelmed with the super-fast speaking style of Kate Shaw. I think she was saying good stuff, but I just couldn't grasp it.

My mom was a fast-talker, but she couldn't begin to compete with Kate Shaw.

Maybe I'm just getting slow in my old(er) age.
