Default Update to my clutch/tranny/AXLE issue from earlier, Pics and Video

Well, after doing some problem determination tonight because of this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=760539 the first thing that I noticed is the axle looks like its shot. Im not familiar with how the axle joints work, but I dont think one side of the axle is supposed to be able to spin while the other side doesnt spin, unless theres some kind of joint within the boot that can come apart. Now, Im not sure how the axle/tranny setup works on the R. If the passenger side axle just spins when I get on the gas, would the other axle be able to drive the car by itself? or would it not be able to because the other axle is broken. If thats the case, then I think I found the problem, but then that would make me wonder why I was still able to drive home after it initially wasnt driving at all.

short vid of the axle turning (257K), right click save as...

BTW, these are Drive Shaft Shop axles(I know, I know), and I was accelerating in a straight line when it happened.
