Poop Map App, Modern Friendship Dynamics

A discussion on the "Poop Map" app illustrates a modern, albeit graphic, way friends stay connected by tracking each other's bowel movements. The hosts contrast this with NPR's advice on "humility" and "forgiveness" in friendships. They conclude that NPR's focus on maintaining friendships despite political differences is wishful thinking for a liberal audience that has "lost friends to Republicanism."
