There’s a new relationship theory taking over social media  and it warns about the allure of dating the “plastic bag man.”  You know, the guy who goes with the flow, drifting like a plastic bag in the wind.  At first, he seems like the perfect, low maintenance man who rarely argues and never overreacts.  But relationship experts warn, what’s disguised as agreeability may actually lead to avoidance and resentment.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Iran shot down an American F-15 fighter jet on Friday, one airman was rescued, but the other remains missing.  We have the latest on the efforts from both Iran and the U.S to try and locate the crew member, where the crash site was located, and how each airman is taught and trained how to survive situations just like this one.   While there is a reward for the missing American, Iranian officials are urging civilians to capture the airman “alive.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(This is a developing story) First, an F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, and while one of the crew members was rescued, an urgent search for the second is underway.  Meantime, a second rescue plane was also struck, but the pilot was able to fly out of Iranian territory and eject safely in Kuwait.  Also, several news outlets are reporting two black hawk helicopters were able to safely land after taking fire in search and rescue operations with several crew members injured.  All of this as Iran mocks American rhetoric on “regime change” as the desperate search continues for our U.S. service member missing in Iran. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
