I'm just wondering what the last couple of days have been like for you. Yeah, obviously the season ended a lot, you know, sooner than we all expected. Touchdown, Montreal! It's heartbreaking. That's an end to another season. Of not accomplishing your goal. And that goal of winning the championship. Oh, man. Yeah. Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom. What are you going to do next year? I mean, I put so much into this. I come in to the locker room on day one to contribute and help a team win a championship. So, you know, I want to put myself in the best situation to win a championship. And we don't know what that's going to look like, what the future is going to look like. My contract's up as a Winnipeg Blue Bomber. I don't know who I'm playing for next year. So, you'd like to think that, like, you know, you're going to play with the same team your whole career. Like, but you don't, you don't know that, right? So you want to come back? I love playing for my hometown. Playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers has been a dream come true for myself. Is that the last time I'm going to put on a Winnipeg Blue Bomber jersey, you know? Like, it's real. You don't know, you know? Finally, the day's come. First rescue run. First rescue run, man. Let's go. Oh, I'm excited about it, dude. We got a special guest today. Yeah, Brady's friend and teammate, Nick Debski. Touchdown! He leads Winnipeg in touchdowns this season. My best friend on the team, you know, he's a guy that I can always count on. A guy that is also, does a lot in the community. Of course, you bring me out when the snow falls, right? I was going to say, like, it's going to be so cold today. I don't know what I'm in for. Rookie appearance, one day contract. We'll see if they extend me or not. What are we playing next year, bro? What are we playing? I don't know which way it's really going right now. We're both kind of in the same boat right now with contracts expiring. Both can be free agents and not really knowing what the future's going to look like. It's crazy. I mean, I guess it's kind of like coming on a rescue run. There's a pretty long list of dogs that need to come in, so we're going to start with the dogs that are living outside. It's going to be almost minus 30 out there today. That's the temperature where dogs literally freeze to death. Dealing with the weather, it starts to make these rescue runs more urgent. You know, you've got to try to bring in as many as you can to get them out of the cold weather and into some warm homes. Oh my, babe, look. Oh my gosh, look at those. We are picking up some golden retriever puppies that are being surrendered by the owner. How many are there? Ten. How old are these little guys, about eight weeks? I'm Carla, by the way. Nice to meet you, Ron. We're doing the rescue today with Carla and Marcus from Winnipeg Pet Rescue. You'd keep her and get her spayed? I'll pay for her to be spayed. You bet I will. Okay, you're going to go get fixed and no more puppies ever again. All right, let's load them up. They'll have a few more to come back and grab. Let's get the other ones? Yeah, sure. How many more are there, two? Come here, sweetheart. Are those ones hiding, babe? Yeah, they're right under there. They went under the trailer, and we can't get to them. Of course, there's always a few that just have to... Make it harder. You're going to have to lift it up? Might have to. Let's go off-season training, baby. Let's go. This is it right here. Three, two, one. No, no chance. No chance, dude. I'm going to blow my back out, man. I thought by myself I can lift it, but I'm like, hey, I got Nick with me. Easy. Didn't even move. Didn't even flinch. Yeah, I think it's frozen. Let's go with that. Let's go with that, eh? You got to somehow lift this up. Let's take this off. Can I lift this up or no? Yeah. Okay, ready? The owner of the property allowed us to start prying the plywood that was on top of the trailer. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. See? Oh, yeah, there you go. Okay, baby. Yeah, there. There's one. You got one. Okay. Oh, you're okay, bud. You're okay. It's okay, bud. Here, I'll take him from you. There's one more here. It's squishing down on him. Might be stuck. Yeah, it's squishing down on him. You got him, Nick? Yeah. Yeah! Let's go. Newcomer of the year. Hey, that right there deserves an extension. Contract extension. Sign him. Nick came in clutch. I just picture him, like, catching a football. Perfect ball security, and he does that with the puppy. Just tucked it and rolled. That's it, man. Got to pick that ball up. So this next one is a mom and pups. Look at them all in the doghouse. The owner is surrendering the mom and pups to us. Hi, mama. He just doesn't have the space for them, and they're living outside right now. Look at them shaking. Yeah. It's too cold for these little pups to be living outside. Hey, mama. I don't think mama's going to come out anytime soon here. They're all, like, hiding behind her. Can you put your hand over her? I don't know if she'll let me, you know? Because I'm just worried if I, like, put my hand over her, she might bite me. We always say you got to make sure there's safety for the dogs, but also safety for us as well when we're putting ourselves in these situations. Is she growling? Yeah. A little scared? It's still, like, a wild animal. If it wants to bite you, it's going to bite you. We might need a slip leash to pull mama out. Maybe we need some dog food. Come on, mama. Good girl. You're okay. Come. Sorry. No, no, no. You're good. She's clearly hungry. She's eating the food. Come on, mama. Good girl. Get that head out there. Keep going. Come on, Jerry. Keep going. Come on, mama. Oh. But any time you make any sudden movement, back in. She's too smart for the slip leash. If we could get these other ones out, it might be easier to start getting her. I'm just going to put my hand in there and grab them. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. Come on, baby. At some point, you're just like, okay, I just got to get these puppies, and if I get bit, I get bit. Here's another one. Convoy line. Last one. Marcus. Marcus, grab another cat food to lure her out. We are not leaving without this mom. Wait. She's gone. Was that her? Yeah, I think she snuck out. Oh, for f***'s sake. It's okay. Just want to get this mom so bad. Hi, sweet girl. We got to get her. She's impossible. She's all the way over there now. Damn it. It's getting dark over there. Yeah. She's so cold. She's freezing. She's like going to freeze to death and die. Are you cold? Freezing. Yeah. Just want to get this mom so bad. We are trying to catch this mama dog. It's already dark. It's starting to get cold. We have a vehicle full of puppies. We don't want to leave her behind, but unfortunately... We're running out of time here. Only if they knew, hey? I know. You're out in the freezing cold. We're going to bring you to a warm van. You're going to go in a foster home tonight. You're going to get love, get food. Get food. Dude, like... Okay, well, I don't think we're getting her. That's not good. It's freezing out here right now. Oh, my God. She's over there. Oh, my God. Oh, there's another puppy. That's a young puppy. What's going on right now? That's why she didn't want to leave yet. Were you not letting us catch you because you had more puppies out there that you needed to get? I feel like dogs are so smart. I feel like that's exactly what she was doing. Yeah, right? Like, it's like... She's like, you can't take me yet because I have another pup out there. Yeah. Hey, you. You got one of your puppies? Where are you? We can lure her with the pup. Oh, come on, girl. I feel like she wants to come, but she's just so scared. I don't even know, like, where she is now. I feel so defeated. Oh, she's here now. She's hiding under the junk pile. There's nowhere for her to come out, right? No, we have her cornered, so... This is it. Okay. I'm going in. You're crawling in? Yeah. Can I fit? I think so. Okay. Hey, baby girl. She's here? She's coming. Yes! It's okay. Holy... Put this over her neck. Wait, wait. Pick her up, babe. Okay, surround her neck. Yes! Holy... We got her safely. On the list of challenging rescues that we've done, this is definitely up there. Good first rescue, buddy. I loved it. Good job. I'm just telling people the highlight of the day. Yeah, the biggest rescue. My highlight of the day was me plucking the puppy, securing the catch, spinning away from. That was my highlight. He squeezed it, he rolled. Happy to be out here. Let's go. That was wild. Hey, careful. Come on. Savvy! He's already off running. Yeah. The one plus side of the football season being over, I have an abundance of time to do the things that I love to do. So pretty, hey? It's nice in here when there's snow. Yeah, it's pretty in the winter. Our dogs love the adventures that we take them on here in Winnipeg. Wouldn't you miss this if you had to leave? We wouldn't have this somewhere else. We don't know what's going to happen yet. I know. You know? There's still so much uncertainty. My two-year deal with Winnipeg is up. It could take months until I find out where I'm going to be playing next year. Is it in Winnipeg? Is it somewhere else? What's your gut telling you? Well, I want to stay here, but we'll see how the negotiations go. What happens if another team comes in and just offers you, like, a huge contract? If I have a chance to get a pretty big contract, why wouldn't I take that? Yeah. You have a very small shelf life playing professional football. You don't know how long that's going to last you, which is scary. I want to sign a multi-year deal. A longer-term contract means security. And, of course, I want a good deal, but wherever I'm playing next year, I need to give myself the chance to compete for another championship. Like, that's it. That's it. What drives me is the chance at competing for a great cup. I want to get to another great cup, and I want to win it this time. You want to be in the right system with the right pieces around you, wherever that is. Hopefully it's here. But it'd be weird. Like, it'd be weird to see you in a different jersey. Well, yeah, because I've been with Winnipeg for so long. Our family's here, our home. Everything's here, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. My work is here. I work for my dad's company. The thought of moving somewhere else and potentially not being able to work, it's stressful. Wasabi, you want to stay in Winnipeg? Okay. We have a dream of one day having our own acreage with our own little rescue shelter for dogs. Maybe have some farm animals. That's the dream. Oh, look at the donkey. He's chunky, that one, eh? She's got some curbs, but at least we don't body shame her. We don't body shame her. The majority of the residents here are thick. Yes. Colleen and her daughter Jessica run the Little Red Barn Sanctuary. They rescue farm animals from all sorts of different types of situations. Well, let's head inside and see what's going on in here. They know that this is something that Brady and I really want to do. Okay, guys, Daisy's coming out. Daisy's coming out. So they've invited us on a tour, and I brought my brother Matt along. Good boy. Come on in. Look, everybody's having a little rest in the straw. Let me see you, Jumbo. Yeah, you guys got to say hi to Jumbo. I'm in heaven right now. It's just like the most magical place. I'm in love. Like, I'm literally making out with a goat right now. Didn't expect to say that line today, did you? He loves you. I mean, if you knew me, you wouldn't be surprised. We have an indoor pig and an outdoor pig, and indoor chickens and outdoor chickens, and indoor donkey and an outdoor donkey. That'll be a wild house. This has been, like, the best day ever. There's a lot of moving parts to things like this. Yeah, of course. I'm always looking. I'm always keeping my eye out for properties. Look at this. Imagine. We have our little cute house, and then we have a massive dog sanctuary. Look how much space they would have. That'd be amazing. A little bittersweet right now because you get excited and start thinking about the future, but not knowing what that future looks like yet. There's a lot of uncertainty with going through negotiations and waiting. It's hard to think about tomorrow. It's going to take some time. Yeah, it is. We've got to get our ducks in a row. Imagine you're having your coffee in the morning and you just see a pony. Yeah, look, he's watching us. Yeah, he's watching us right now. Hi. I love you. Brady's very confused about what we're doing. Yeah, I'm just here to learn. Yeah, for rat training. Yeah. Regan is a rat trainer. This is their little condo. Oh, perfect. Okay. That's Hamith. He's very friendly. I can't believe we have rats. I adopted two rats while Brady was in Montreal. Hamith, can you come here, please, and meet your father? Yeah, she did it. You could be a little more excited. They're for sure the same gender? Yeah, they both have nuts. Do they? Yeah. If it's a boy, you can tell. No, I know Hamith, you can tell, but Perry, does he have nuts? Yes, yes, Perry has nuts. You just think he does it because of his name. She named them. You don't even know their full names. Sir Hamith Reginald. Yeah, adorable. Monsier Perrywinkle. You're not saying it right. Monsier Perrywinkle. Yes. We'll pull their playpen to the main living room area. Would you like to know my names? One was going to be Marble, and one was going to be Jack. That's so boring. Actually? Babe, that's B-set. You actually don't like those? No, what is it, cheese? Yes. What's up, buddy? Yeah, there he goes. He loves going in the hood. Okay, so usually if we're just building a relationship with them, I'm going to lure him out, and I'm going to click as soon as he grabs that treat so that it's immediately associated sound to food. And then he'll start to follow it, which is exactly what I want him to do. And then reward. That's pretty cool, actually. Yeah. Wow. Nice job, Perry. You might be the smart one. Within minutes, they were already picking up on the tricks. I never thought rats were that smart. Are you looking for Dad? What's up, man? Do you think they'd be as smart if their names were Marble and Jack? You know how you always say, like, look good, feel good, play good? It's the same with them. Like, if they were, like, basic Marble and Jack, they'd be like, I'm Marble and Jack. Good job. Ameth is nuts. He really likes you. We'll get a little bomber jersey for him next season. If that's where I'm playing. Are you making it or am I making it? We're both going to make it. No, no, no, because you don't know how to do it. And that coconut water has been open for too long. No, it was in the fridge. But it doesn't matter. Three days after it's open. Trust me. All right. Chris is calling. Your agent? What's up, man? Hey, Brady, good morning. My agent, Chris Martin, called me. What's the word, man? I know you know we've been going back and forth to get this nailed down. But excited to say that they met everything that we were looking for. Let's go! Your boy's staying home. They're coming in at that three-year mark. Obviously, they believe you have a lot of tread left on your tires. I'm so f***ing pumped, man. Like, so pumped, dude. Like, this is where I wanted to be. Signed a three-year deal with Winnipeg. Well, I haven't signed yet, but I'm so happy. Like, are we staying in Winnipeg? Are we staying in Winnipeg? The best news ever. I'm happy for you, baby. So good. That means I'm going to be 40 by the time you're last year. You know? No, I'll be 39. Okay. I have a little tread on my tires, too. Be patient. Relax. Relax. Be patient. I am being patient. Let me see my baby. Here's the gate. Here she is! Oh, hi, Stella. Oh, my gosh. Hi, gorgeous girl. Stella. Hi, my baby. Stella. We're here to see Stella. It's been forever. We haven't seen her since she got adopted. She's so scared. Stella was our foster dog. Hi, baby. She was with us for three months. She gave birth to ten puppies. She became part of our family. Hi, Stella. Oh, I said I wasn't going to cry. Oh, you look so good. We got really, really, really close with Stella. She was a special dog. Oh, hi, guys. Hi. Nice to see you. Oh, my gosh. She looks so good. Yeah. She's, like, completely changed our lives. Oh, stop. Like, she's completed our family. Such a character. Her face when her ears go back. Okay. I know. There's always, like, certain dogs throughout this journey of the rescue work that Alex and I do that just stick. Yeah, Stella's a sticker. And Stella is going to be one of them. She's ripping. Oh, she's such a happy girl. There's just something about Stella. She just, like, melts your heart. Hi. Hi, Stella, Stella. This is why we do what we do. She looks so happy and so loved and so cared for. This is the life every dog deserves. Makes us want to fight harder for the ones that don't have that yet. It's happy tears. Yeah, of course. Bye, Stelly Belly. Bye, Stella. Bye, baby girl. Love you. Knowing that we're going to be here for the next three years, now we can really be a part of way more dog stories. It's the best feeling in the world. Hey, buddy. Let's make this thing official. Now with signing a three-way deal, all of our big-picture goals and dreams, everything that we wanted to, now I can start making those dreams become a reality. Gunnar, come here. Come here, pa. Make it official. Hey, buddy, we're staying home. The ultimate goal is to create a world where no dog suffers. Rescue is just the beginning of what we want to do. The dream is Acreage and our own sanctuary. Now we know that we're staying in Winnipeg and we can really put some roots down. Yeah. Doggy stuff. Nope. Bro, what? Sorry. Nope. You got it. I said it as I know. Nope. I meant like because when people say put roots down, they mean have kids. And I meant like with a lot of dogs. But then as I was saying it, I realized what it sounded like. And I stopped myself a little late. Do you understand where I was going with it, though? Yeah, a little bit of a leap.
