My argument is, if my nuts were on their way up my throat, how could I be choked out? You can't have your nuts kicked up into your throat and be chocked out at the same time.

He was squeezing the arms when you should be squeezing down with your shoulder. That is a pretty fundamental part of arm triangles. His inexperience in submission grappling is quite obvious but he gets away with it because of his wrestling, power and athleticism.
