"There's some dirt in the pot but it'll be alright..."
"I just poured the chicken juice and blood right in there with the chicken..."
"Doesn't look like there are too many bugs in that wood..."

Another guy was being so careful prepping his chicken. Raw chicken on a tray lined with foil, was talking about being hygenic with the chicken. Put the chicken in a bag, laid the bag with chicken on top of his now empty tray, then took it out of the tray and slid it across the counter...

Jeff - avoid YT videos. As you have seen, the "authors" have no clue. Trust information from those you know (here) and from sites like this one:
www.amazingribs.com
AmazingRibs is a huge source of information, recipes, tips, and most important, the science behind bbq.
