I don't understand what's so confusing about time.
"but what time really is, is a question that I can't answer for you."
O'Brian almost correctly answers that right off the bat:
"My own personal opinion is that time is a human construct"
Time is a measurement, nothing more. It's not magic, it's not difficult to understand, it's not separate from reality.
It'd be like calculating how long it takes you to walk around your coffee table, and then being confused by what it means or what that measurement consists of.
