Questions About RR's Straw Tek in Videos

I bought the RR vids which are visually helpful, and I'm glad to give something back, but I was wondering about his straw tek. What do I do with the straw after the pasteurization? How do I get it to the right moisture level?
And, the soap is still in there, right? He doesn't say anything about rinsing before pasteurization.

but he does say the mycelium eats the soap right in the video 
and after pasteurization you mix the straw with spawn. you can't get the water content wrong it only holds so much water. take it out of the tub you soaked it in with your hands. as long as it isn't dripping on its own it's set.

I've watched the Let's Grow Mushrooms! videos many times and never heard him mentioning 'the mycelium eats the soap'. Just watched 1.6 and 1.7 again and did not hear this.

The amount of soap is fairly small during the original soak and then RR transfers the straw into a separate tub and adds many gallons of water for pasteurization. So the amount of soap left over must be insignificant.

No he doesn't.
But yeah, OP, just let it drip dry and then spawn. Don't complicate simple things.

Yeah, I was pretty sure he didn't say it eats the soap but I figure why argue.
Anywho, this is what I really wanted:
