Transcription Notes:
Does he actually write beans? I can't figure it out.
Yes. It seems like a generic word for a meal or teatime, usually lunch. Sometimes he says "sup" which I assume means "supper". All guesses.
He could be saying beams
Does the first word say fired?
*Yes, I think it says "fired"- maybe he fired a ceramics piece?
