CHICAGO – Here on WGN Morning News, we always are keeping up with the latest dating trends, and we had one ready for Wednesday morning.

“Benching” is one that’s popped up as Valentine’s Day gets a little closer, and the hosts on Wednesday’s show kicked off February with a discussion on the topic.

That was part of the “9@9” for the show that also featured topics like a spider-tailed horned viper, deer high on nitrous oxide, and tiny food elevators.

But those weren’t the only things discussed, and you can watch all of them from the segment on February 1 in the video above.
