Here you go: [VIDEO] I thought it was a really interesting talk - he's a great speaker. Can really tell how well he knows what he's talking about, lots of information really clearly described and easy to follow.

For something like a decade (2004~2005 until 2013), Carmack gave a fluent hours-long speech/discussion/brain-dump at QuakeCon. I doubt a few minutes's speech is something he needs "plenty of time to prepare and rehearse" for at this point.
