| 0:04.4 | Hey, it's Clay Newcomb here from Bear Greece, and I want to tell you about my new 12 and 26 film |
| 0:10.9 | presented by Maltry and Onyx. |
| 0:13.7 | These are 12 of meat eaters' biggest and baddest hunts from the last year that are going |
| 0:18.6 | to be released through 2026. |
| 0:20.7 | These are long-form episodes, or what I call films, so you are going to be released through 2026. These are long-form episodes, |
| 0:23.1 | or what I call films, so you're going to get more of what you love. My film will take us |
