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 Ash & Honey 1871 Apothecary, KBO Apparel, and co-host Ash & Honey: The Root and the Road together. We checked. It's real. You're not going to believe it.

    Keep Buggering On S2E3 : "Nuts!" — Gen. McAuliffe, Bastogne, and the Best Answer He Forgot He Gave

    Send us Fan Mail Description: December 22, 1944. Bastogne is surrounded. The Germans deliver an ultimatum: surrender or face annihilation. The general in charge says one word back — and the real story of how that word got written down is funnier, and truer, than the legend. This episode: the myth versus the muttered reality, a staffer's assist that made history, and why "Nuts!" ended up on a shirt eighty years later. Accurate. Absurd. Affectionate.

    Keep Buggering On S2-E2: "Retreat, Hell!" — Belleau Wood, Boots, and the Ground You're Already Standing On

    Send us Fan Mail  June 1918. Belleau Wood. The Germans are fifty miles from Paris, the French line is folding, and a brand-new brigade of American Marines is told to fall back with everyone else. Captain Lloyd Williams says six words instead — "Retreat, hell! We just got here!" — and dies nine days later making sure they were true. We checked. The Marine Corps' own history division can't even agree on who really said it. This episode also covers: an accidentally-claimed substitute teaching shift at a high school with its own bridges (two of them) and its own police officer, a lockdown survived largely on the strength of a good pair of boots, and why nobody quits at the turn on hole five.

    Keep Buggering On S2-E1: Keep Buggering On: Navy — Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

    Send us Fan Mail A Navy chaplain isn't allowed to touch a weapon. That's not weakness — that's the entire job. So when the attack on Pearl Harbor hits the USS New Orleans and the ship's ammunition locker is welded shut with the key ashore, Lieutenant Howell Forgy grabs a fire axe, breaks the men into their own bullets, and does the only thing left that's actually his to give: he starts shouting the men into motion. Less than a year later, his line is the biggest song in the country. This episode, Keep Buggering On host Dennis — a U.S. Navy veteran — takes the wheel to tell it right. Then it turns personal: what happens when the job description in your head (sons, Saturday golf) collides head-on with the job you actually get (two fearless daughters, one nine iron, one unlucky forehead). Real story, real bruise, real lesson about showing up for the job in front of you instead of the one you pictured. This is the first release in KBO Standard Supply's military tribute line — one branch at a time, starting with the Navy. We checked. It's real.

    Keep Buggering On - S1E7: The Silent Partner — Married, In Business, and Never Fully Agreeing

    Send us Fan Mail  For the first time on KBO, we're not doing this alone. Dennis — my husband, my business partner, and the most silent partner in podcast history — joins the mic to hash out the argument we have over every single product: backstory vs. copy-paste, font size vs. storyline, and whether anyone actually knows what "heading the ball" means. Along the way: the true story of two brothers-in-law who got assigned to run a business together and accidentally built Procter & Gamble, a hard truth about how every brand on the internet suddenly has an origin story, and a PGA trainer named Brady who complimented my golf bag right up until he saw how I carry it.

    Keep Buggering On S1-E6: The Unfairway — Golf's Most Honest Mistake

    Send us Fan Mail In 1968, on his own 45th birthday, golfer Roberto De Vicenzo shot the best round of his life — good enough to force a playoff at the Masters. Then he lost the green jacket over a pencil mark he didn't even make. His playing partner wrote down the wrong score, he signed the card without catching it, and the rulebook said the signature was the truth now, whether or not it matched what actually happened. His only response: "What a stupid I am." In this episode of Keep Buggering On, we follow that story wherever it leads: into the actual Masters rule that cost a man a major championship, into the very human habit of signing off on things — expense reports, performance reviews, forms — without double-checking them, and into the fact that it took professional golf fifty-six years to fix the rule that broke Roberto's heart. Along the way, there's a personal detour involving a disastrous first round of golf, a butterfly with impeccable timing, and a well-timed kiss that intercepted a swear word before it could escape. Everything in this episode is true. None of it is going to make you feel better about humanity. That's the deal.

    Keep buggering On S1-E5: Moderation Is a Fatal Thing | Oscar Wilde Was Right and We're Sorry

    Send us Fan Mail Oscar Wilde once said "Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess." He meant it as a philosophy. He lived it as a cautionary tale. And somewhere along the way, the American restaurant industry, the internet, and this very podcast all decided he had a point. In this episode of Keep Buggering On, we start with a confession: we mentioned KBO Standard Supply way too many times in our early episodes. We know. You know. We're fixing it, and we're owning it — because a show about human beings not getting it right the first time probably shouldn't pretend otherwise. Then we follow Wilde's line where it actually leads: into the history of a man who succeeded wildly by going too far in everything, into the restaurant menus that put bacon on a donut and called it progress, into the fried pickle (a perfectly good vegetable that humanity simply could not leave alone), and into the comment sections where someone decided a stranger's tomato garden needed their unsolicited expert opinion at eleven PM. Everything in this episode is true. None of it is going to make you feel better about humanity. That's the deal.

    Keep Buggering On Season 1-episode 4: Huzzah! The Origin of Keep Buggering On

    Send us Fan Mail  Where does "Keep Buggering On" actually come from — and why do we keep yelling "huzzah" like it's 1812? On this episode, we trace the real Winston Churchill moment that gave this whole show its name (December 10th, 1941, three days after Pearl Harbor), the surprisingly contested history of the word "huzzah," and the actual sailors who shouted it mid-battle aboard the USS Constitution. Plus: a multi-state Halloween costume hunt that produced a huzzah that wasn't even ours. Fully sourced. Genuinely funny.

    Keep buggering On-Season 1-Episode 3: The Perfect Flush: Golf's Rarest Shot & a Forgotten Traitor

    Send us Fan Mail  A golf shot so rare almost nobody saw it happen — and the legend got told anyway. On this episode of Keep Buggering On, we trace Gene Sarazen's 1935 Masters double eagle, the "shot heard 'round the world" that maybe two dozen people actually witnessed in person. Then: a ten-year-old argument about whether Benedict Arnold really deserves to be America's most famous traitor, and a classroom story about the kid nobody expected anything from. Fully sourced.

    Keep buggering On- Season 1-Episode 2: A Bad Night isn't a Bad Character, Until you make it One...The World is Ugly Enough

    Send us Fan Mail Ever snapped at someone for asking a completely innocent question like, "Hey, did you grab milk?" We’ve all been there. In this episode of Keep Buggering On, we are breaking down the art of the one-liner, the volatility of homemade carbs, and the real reason you are secretly furious at the person standing right next to you. First, we tackle one of history's most iconic verbal takedowns: Winston Churchill’s infamous 1946 "sober tomorrow" zinger to Labour MP Bessie Braddock. Except, there’s a catch—Churchill almost certainly didn't write it, and he might not have even said it. We unearth the 150-year-old history of this recycled joke to uncover a deeper truth: the massive gap between a bad night and a bad character. Also in this episode: The Bread Wars: A hilarious, three-act tragedy of how the exact same ingredients can result in perfect sourdough, accidental naan, a wet paper towel, or a literal roofing shingle.The Blast Radius of Stress: Why your router, the person counting exact change in the checkout line, and your pets aren't actually the problem—they are just the closest soft targets when an old fuse finally blows.The Ultimate Skill: How to look at an ugly world and figure out whether the thing in front of you actually caused the storm, or just happened to be standing there when the rain started.Pour a drink, hide from your kitchen projects, and let's dig in.

    Keep Buggering On-Season 1-Episode 1: Keep Your Head Down: The Pig, The Green, and The Art of Not Flinching

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the premiere episode of the Keep Buggering On podcast. This show takes something true—fully, footnote-having true—and tells it to you like it’s the best thing that happened at the bar last night. No wellness routines, no debates, and no conspiracy theories. We checked, it’s real, and you’re not going to believe it. We kick things off with a confession from the driving range about a fifty-four-year-old beginner trying to master the simplest, most brutal instruction in human history: keep your head down. Because as it turns out, looking up to supervise an outcome halfway through a swing is the exact thing that guarantees you miss. From there, we scale this exact human instinct up to two completely different levels. First, we travel back to the summer of 1859 to look at the Pig War of San Juan Island—where a lone American farmer, a British sheep farmer, a dead Berkshire boar, and an inability to de-escalate nearly caused two global empires to trigger a third Revolutionary War battle over an unfenced potato patch. Then, we bring it home to the modern workplace, breaking down why we treat process updates like an armed ambush and how to take the "one-breath pause" before reaching for the rifle. The lesson? The swing already works if you let it finish. Stop checking the sky, look at what's in front of you, and Keep Buggering On.
