The gay-straight BFF relationship between Jackie and River continues to bloom in the fourth episode of The Benefits of Gusbandry. But how did they get to be the people they are?
Well, River’s sweaty pits and some pot brownies result in them reminiscing about high school, where River (who had a very good beard for a teenager according to this episode) had his first female friend who knew he was gay, while Jackie had her own ‘gateway gay’.
The notes for the show add, ‘Inspired by real-life relationships with creator Alicia J. Rose’s own “Gusbands” (a.k.a: gay best friends), The Benefits of Gusbandry centers around best friends Jackie, played by Brooke Totman (MADtv, The Groundlings) and River, played by Kurt Conroyd (Birds of Neptune, Fox Searchlight’s Wild) – two one-of-a-kind characters approaching 40 and follows them as they find something special in one another, navigating the modern world with a no-punches-pulled and occasionally filthy comedic purview, finding true love in a most unexpectedly platonic way.’
