Basically, the video explains how orbital resonance is usually explained to keep Saturn's cassini division (alongside many others) empty, which is by the closest point to another orbiting object in an orbit being the same point every time, the objects would be pushed out of that resonance. Then he notes that nothing says that that the closest approach being in a specific area is meaningful because there will still be closest approaches and they will still be periodical. Then he talks to an expert an then re-explains it to account for elliptical orbits and tidal acceleration and shows how angular momentum is what keeps satellite orbits in sync, and then turns them into a beat to help us visualize it, and then a chord.
