Summary

Brittany bluffed her way through her final thesis. Everyone thinks she graduated but Brittany's not so sure. It’s a story where both student and teacher were cheating.

My guest is Brittany Ross, host of the Shortcomings Podcast, where she and her co-host Natalie Lander talk with guests about where they fell short in life.

Brittany’s also an actress, appearing on U.S. television shows The Middle, 2 Broke Girls and Girl Meets World.

And you must follow her colorful Instagram: @iambrittanyross.

0:17.7	Checkup. Hey Danny, did you get a secret for me?
0:21.3	Yes, so I was in Tokyo and I was living in a living hotel sort of place and the
0:30.9	doorways are quite a bit shorter than they are in Europe in the middle of the
0:35.7	night once I got up but they hid and I ran as far as I could to go to the toilet
0:39.9	and knocked myself out on the door. Are you serious? Yes, I am serious and I woke up a

1:57.4	using your real name? I don't really care. I feel like it is a secret but what's gonna
