Whatever you do / get into / the light bill /
Dear teachers,
I saw the transcript of 60 minutes (sources: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/chobani-yogurt-billionaire-founder-on-creating-jobs-in-america/), and I have three questions as follows:
(1) Ulukaya: This is the only place in my, you know, in my early days of coming here, this is the only place you can come and connect to life again and society and go back to whatever you do.
=> I think the expression, "whatever you do" should be deleted as it doesn't make sense, when considering the whole sentence. What do you think of this?
(2) Frank Baio: Well. let’s put it to you this way: I kind of felt sorry because I don’t think he know what was get into it. I mean, I-- you figure for Kraft to shut it down, who the hell is this guy that he’s gonna open up and make it right, make it going?
=> I kind of felt sorry because I didn’t think he knew what he was getting into.
=> You figure that Kraft shut it(the plant) down, but who the hell is this guy saying that he’s gonna open up and make it right, make it going?
(3) Betsy Baio: He said, “Here’s to wishing we could ever make 100,000 cases of yogurt in a week and not worry about the light bill.”
=> Does 'the light bill' mean 'not enough money'?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and best regards,
David Kim

- No, "whatever you do" is a noun phrase, the object of "go back to", in this case meaning, as far as I can tell, one's normal occupation (work).
- => I kind of felt sorry because I didn’t think he knew what he was getting into.
