Keep Buggering On
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.
