I'm not certain the passengers want all of that detail, as I believe that is what the OP was originally asking about.
As a briefing with an additional pilot aboard that's a pretty good start. If that were the case I'd also address crew coordination issues (who is going to do what during normal & abnormal operations), expected departure procedure, weather considerations (if any), and the plan for an emergency return or takeoff diversion airport.
