Keep Buggering On

A.Q. LOVE Media

Alexandria Quinn Love, M.A. — historian and formulator — and Dennis, a U.S. Navy veteran and thirty-year veteran of pharmaceutical and microchip quality control, co-host Keep Buggering On together, each bringing their own standards to the receipts. Every episode starts with a shirt. KBO Standard Supply makes apparel with a phrase on it, and the phrase is never just a phrase — it's a door. Keep Buggering On walks through that door into whatever's actually on the other side: history nobody taught you right, a golf swing gone wrong, an ethics problem hiding in your last team meeting, a recipe that ended in minor property damage. Fully accurate. Genuinely funny. Never mean about it. Alex and Dennis aren't here to lecture anyone or take anyone down — just to report, with the receipts, exactly how absurd being human really is. They also run KBO Apparel. We tell true stories to honor the people who lived them. Every event and quotation is drawn from factual accounts and shared with respect for those involved.  We checked. It's real. You're not going to believe it. www.kbostandardsupply.com

    Unsung Heroes, Lasting Lessons: The Only World Series MVP From the Losing Team | Keep Buggering On S4E2

    Send us Fan Mail 👕 Get the Unsung Heroes, Lasting Lessons shirt: https://kbostandardsupply.com/products/unsung-heroes-lasting-lessons-classic-baseball-raglan In 1960, Ralph Terry threw the pitch that ended the World Series, and the Series MVP went to the team that lost. Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off home run was the first time a Series ever ended on one. The MVP was Bobby Richardson, a Yankees second baseman with a record 12 RBIs, still the only player ever named Series MVP from the losing side. They gave him a Corvette. Two years later it was Game 7 again: one to nothing, two outs, runners on second and third, Willie McCovey at the plate. McCovey smoked a line drive right at Richardson. Terry went from goat to MVP, and Richardson was exactly where he was supposed to be. Then we bring it home. In 1985, Dennis’s senior year, his team had no baseball coach until a football coach raised his hand. Coach Audycki taught fundamentals all day, every day, and the team with no coach won the Section 10 title. Plus highlight culture, the coach who volunteers, the teacher who stays late, and the four rules Dennis’s father taught him. (He kept two.) Unsung heroes. Lasting lessons. Wear the mindset. KBO Standard Supply is live: https://kbostandardsupply.com/ Fair warning: everything you’re about to hear is true. Richardson caught the line drive. Coach Audycki raised his hand. Dad showed up. ⚾ Who was your unsung hero — the coach, the teacher, the one who just showed up? Drop their name below. 🐾 Missed last week?

    The Dog Who Stayed at Gettysburg: Sallie of the 11th Pennsylvania | Keep Buggering On S4E1

    Send us Fan Mail 👕 Get the Paws and Duty shirt: https://kbostandardsupply.com/products/paws-and-duty-official-kbo-unisex-t-shirt In 1861, a four-week-old puppy was handed to a brand-new Pennsylvania regiment. Her name was Sallie, and she never left her men. She marched past President Lincoln, ran to the front line at Antietam and Fredericksburg, and after the first day at Gettysburg she was found three days later guarding the regiment’s wounded and dead. When she fell at Hatcher’s Run in 1865, her soldiers stopped under fire to bury her. Twenty-five years later, the veterans voted unanimously to put her on their monument. Then we bring it home: therapy dogs who walk past the patient to comfort the scared family member in the corner, the science of how dogs smell our stress, service dogs for veterans, and a golf course dog named Shadow who stole Dennis’s glasses and never gave them back. Plus the Saturday ride-time brigade and the shelter dogs still waiting for their people. Season 4 opens with loyalty, both ways. Wear the mindset. KBO Standard Supply is live: https://kbostandardsupply.com/ Fair warning: everything you’re about to hear is true. Sallie stood guard for three days. Shadow stole the glasses. Our brigade won’t stop until they decide we’re okay. 🐾 Tell us about your dog — the guardian, the thief, the one who always knows.

    The First Volunteer Rescue Squad Started With a $3 Tackle Box | KBO First Responders S3E6

    Send us Fan Mail 👕 Get the Headlamps On hoodie: https://kbostandardsupply.com/products/kbo-headlamps-on-search-rescue-ems-heritage-unisex-hoodie In 1909, a nine-year-old boy stood on the bank of the Roanoke River and watched two men drown while the crowd around him threw branches. Nobody knew how to help. Nineteen years later, Julian Stanley Wise and nine of his railroad coworkers founded the Roanoke Life Saving and First Aid Crew, widely credited as the first volunteer rescue squad in the country. Their first-aid kit was a three-dollar tackle box, and their first vehicle was donated by a funeral home. Ninety-six years later, Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina. The paramedics of Cleveland County EMS's Special Operations Team worked through the night by headlamp after their generators failed, then went into the flooding Broad River and brought out seven adults, three children, and two dogs. One of them, paramedic Gabe Wilson, stayed with his team while his own home lay in ruins. This is a search-and-rescue-meets-EMS story that was told once, in a county write-up, and deserves more. The power went out. Then the backup generator went out. So they put on headlamps. We close with something personal: a note on domestic violence, on stepping in even when it costs you, and on keeping the door open.
