Speaker 1: Hey, it's Rob Wriggle. You may know me from my
Speaker 1: work on shows like Modern Family, The Daily Show, or
Speaker 1: movies like The Hangover, Step Brothers, or One Jump Street.
Speaker 1: But what you might not know is that before I
Speaker 1: decided to pursue a career in Hollywood, I was a
Speaker 1: United States Marine Corps officer for twenty three years. It
Speaker 1: was during my years of service that I found the
Speaker 1: courage and the confidence to take a leap of faith
Speaker 1: into the entertainment industry. And I can proudly thank the
Speaker 1: military for shaping me into the person that I am today.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so excited to be hosting season two
Speaker 1: of Veterans. You should know each episode, I'll be sitting
Speaker 1: down with those who proudly served in the Armed Forces
Speaker 1: to hear about the lessons they've learned, the obstacles they've overcome,
Speaker 1: and the life changing impact of their service. And I
Speaker 1: remember thinking, what are the chances and I E d
Speaker 1: S been here so long that grass is grown on
Speaker 1: top of it. And that's exactly what happened. There was
Speaker 1: a pressure plate buried underneath where grass grown over, and
Speaker 1: that's the one I stepped on when she realized you
Speaker 1: could speak Dorrin, she'd take that broke off and you
Speaker 1: just have to brace for impact because it might be
Speaker 1: an eye gouged out, it might be an ear cut off.
Speaker 1: Through this four parts series, we'll hear the inspiring journeys
Speaker 1: of these veterans and how they took those values during
Speaker 1: their time of service and applied them to transition out
Speaker 1: of the military and into civilian life. One of my
Speaker 1: marines introduced me to a marine who was stationed in
Speaker 1: Okinawa who was a music producer, and I ended up
Speaker 1: recording an entire album while I was in Japan. I
Speaker 1: totally treated like it was the military, so I broke
Speaker 1: it down and end up graduating in just two years,
Speaker 1: get that four year degree done in two years, thankfully
Speaker 1: graduating with honors, I think because it was just so focused.
Speaker 1: Join me this Veteran's Day November eleven, for season two
Speaker 1: of Veterans You Should Know. You don't want to miss
Speaker 1: hearing from these heroic men and women who fought overseas
Speaker 1: and continue to do incredible work to serve and support
Speaker 1: their families and communities. Starting November eleven, Lesson to Veterans
