Speaker 1

Hey, it's Rob Wriggle. You may know me from my work on shows like Modern Family, The Daily Show, or movies like The Hangover, Step Brothers, or One Jump Street. But what you might not know is that before I decided to pursue a career in Hollywood, I was a United States Marine Corps officer for twenty three years. It was during my years of service that I found the courage and the confidence to take a leap of faith

into the entertainment industry. And I can proudly thank the military for shaping me into the person that I am today. That's why I'm so excited to be hosting season two of Veterans. You should know each episode, I'll be sitting down with those who proudly served in the Armed Forces to hear about the lessons they've learned, the obstacles they've overcome,

and the life changing impact of their service. And I remember thinking, what are the chances and I E d S been here so long that grass is grown on top of it. And that's exactly what happened. There was a pressure plate buried underneath where grass grown over, and that's the one I stepped on when she realized you could speak Dorrin, she'd take that broke off and you just have to brace for impact because it might be an eye gouged out, it might be an ear cut off.

Through this four parts series, we'll hear the inspiring journeys of these veterans and how they took those values during their time of service and applied them to transition out of the military and into civilian life. One of my marines introduced me to a marine who was stationed in Okinawa who was a music producer, and I ended up

recording an entire album while I was in Japan. I totally treated like it was the military, so I broke it down and end up graduating in just two years, get that four year degree done in two years, thankfully graduating with honors, I think because it was just so focused. Join me this Veteran's Day November eleven, for season two of Veterans You Should Know. You don't want to miss hearing from these heroic men and women who fought overseas and continue to do incredible work to serve and support

their families and communities. Starting November eleven, Lesson to Veterans You Should Know on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast
