Grunt Work: THE Podcast about the TV Show Home Improvement episodes
- Roomie for ImprovementUh oh! Mark has the chicken pox, and Tim has never had them, so Jill packs his bags and sends him off to stay with Al for a few days. Tim, however, finds this to be quite a chore, especially considering Al’s overzealousness for planned meals and activities. After one night of watching Al’s home movies, Tim is ready to move into a hotel, but is afraid that he’ll hurt Al’s feelings. This is ultimately moot because on Tool Time, Tim plays a game with guests Mario and Michael Andretti to guess the sounds of revving engines, and pranks Al by including a recording of his snoring. Al expresses his upsettiness to Tim back at home, leading to a brief row, to which Tim apologizes and helps mend by putting in a good word with Al’s neighbor who has a crush on him.1 hr 9 min

Episode Synopsis:
When Tim (Tim Allen) feels intimidated by the young, strapping, muscular leads in Jill's romance novels, he tries to compensate by carrying a heavy crate full of books out to the garage -- and pulls his groin in the process. Despite his injured groin (and pride), Tim tries to hide his condition from Jill, even though he's in too much pain to lift anything heavy - which makes for awkward situations on the set of Tool Time and around the house when Jill (Patricia Richardson) tries to initiate a romantic moment. Ultimately, Wilson (Earl Hindman) helps Tim realize that he injured himself because he was "peacocking" for Jill - trying to prove that he's still tough and capable, even though that's not why she loves him.Meanwhile, Randy (Zachary Ty Bryan) has been cast as Peter Pan in the school play. To save him the indignity of having to prance around the auditorium, Tim builds a pulley system and harness so that Randy can fly -- with disastrous results when Tim tries to test it.

1 hr 1 min - Overactive GlanceOn This Episode of Home Improvement…It’s date night for Tim and Jill Taylor, and our best friend Karen is over to babysit the kids for the night. Before they leave for their date, Jill and Karen catch a segment of Tool Time where Tim casts a salacious glance at a female guest. Karen, always quick with the commentary on feminism and patriarchal values, points this out and berates Tim for it. This causes Jill to challenge Tim to not look at a single woman while on their date. This all comes crashing down with a bombshell named Kiki arrives and asks Tim for an autograph.Meanwhile, Randy is upset that he has small hands and is bad at the sports.On This Episode of Grunt Work…Has Landen found love? A surprising development for the theory that Al Borland is a secret spy, and Truman deals with Gruntgate 2017.1 hr 1 min
- Rites and Wrongs of PassageOn This Episode of Home Improvement…Tim bought tickets for him and the boys to see a good old-fashioned monster truck show — but when a group of older boys at school begin encouraging Brad to pull pranks and run afoul of the police, Tim and Jill ground him and Tim forbids him to go see the monster trucks. In response, Brad gets even more mouthy and rebellious. Wilson explains to Tim that Brad is acting out because he’s caught between adolescence and manhood, a situation tribal societies avoided by inducting boys with the rites of manhood. In response, Tim lets Brad use a blowtorch while working on their hot rod and anoints him with motor oil to celebrate his transformation into the ‘man-child.’Meanwhile, Tim’s mouth gets him in trouble when a local Scotsman challenges him to participate in the Kaber Toss at the local Highland games – an ancient Scottish tradition in which men pick up a giant log and throw it as far as they can. When a kilt-clad Tim attempts this at the games, he instead chucks the log clear through the window of Al’s lovingly restored ’84 Mercury Marquis station wagon.On This Episode of Grunt Work…Truman and Landen experience slight audio issues; begin to explore the outer reaches of the Jerryverse, the life and work of the inept Tool Time producer; and debate whether or not the two boys who coerce Brad’s bad deeds are indeed Bob and Stinky, and whether or not Stinky is, in fact, George W. Bush.1 hr 11 min
