Scott and Steve examine the history of three hard workin' phrases - "Nose to the Grindstone," "Elbow Grease," and "Knuckle Down," as well as the origin of "Big D*ck Energy" on New Slang. 

Also, they discuss the potential utility of ascots, the most depressing Bruce Springsteen songs, and the transformative power of an old Alec Baldwin photo.
